A quarterly, source-linked index of restaurant costs, earnings, rents, delivery fees and regulations across the Gulf.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-20 issue.

For: GCC restaurant founders, operators and investors
Worth noticing: It cites FY2025 margins for Americana, Alamar, Burgerizzr and Herfy, including Herfy’s reported net loss.

Field notes

The index contrasts listed-chain results with estimates for independent operators, then tracks operating pressures such as delivery fees, retail rents and labour requirements. Its update notes identify changes since July, including Kuwait’s commission limits and new or upcoming hiring rules in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The page also links to supporting reports and Praxis Model’s feasibility-study offer.
