Launching in Dubai · Starting with F&B

Reach new businesses before your competitors know they exist.

OpenRadar finds new restaurants and venues before they open. See when they’ll buy and who to talk to — while suppliers are still being chosen.

  • No-commitment sample for your category
  • Every opportunity shows its sources

Built on multi-source signal tracking

  • Trade licensing
  • Property & leasing
  • Fit-out permits
  • Hiring activity
  • Online presence
  • Market & press

Why timing matters

By opening day, the buying is already done.

New venues choose most of their suppliers during fit-out — weeks or months before the doors open. Across Dubai, that’s happening right now, and most suppliers only find out afterwards.

  • Who decides is unclear

    Owner, operator or chef? Pitch the wrong person and the window closes without you.

  • Research starts too late

    Sales teams spend hours chasing venues that have already signed with someone else.

  • Lists don’t show timing

    Generic databases tell you a business exists — not whether it’s buying right now.

OpenRadar puts your first conversation inside the buying window — not after it closes.

What you get

Every opportunity, ready to act on.

Not a list of names. A structured profile that tells your team what’s opening, when to move, and who to talk to.

How it works

From first signal to first meeting.

Four steps between an unannounced business and a well-timed sales conversation.

  1. Detect

    We pick up new businesses early, through licensing, property, hiring and market signals.

  2. Profile

    Each one becomes a clear opportunity profile: concept, location, size and operator.

  3. Predict

    We estimate the opening stage and when the buying window opens.

  4. Engage

    You see the likely decision-makers and when to reach out — before your competitors do.

How we know

OpenRadar cross-checks scattered signals and turns them into a single view of each opportunity — with the evidence behind it.

Launch market

Starting in the UAE — a market that never stops opening.

Dubai’s commercial landscape moves fast: new concepts, new districts and new operators, all year round. In a market this dynamic, timing is the advantage.

Launch focus

Dubai

25.2048° N · 55.2708° E

Restaurants, cafés & F&B concepts

  • Business Bay
  • Downtown
  • DIFC
  • Dubai Marina
  • JLT
  • Jumeirah
  • Al Quoz
  • Dubai Hills

Built to expand

Across the UAE and the GCC, and into more sectors with high-value opening cycles.

  • A constant pipeline

    New concepts launch across the city year-round — each one a fresh buying cycle.

  • Fast fit-outs

    Operators race to open before rent-free periods run out, so buying windows are short.

  • One opening leads to more

    Dubai concepts often expand across the region. Win the first site and you’re first in line for the next.

  • Relationships win deals

    Trust is built before the contract. Being first in the room matters.
