How UAE Restaurants Unlock Revenue with Qashio

The growing pressure on UAE restaurants

Running a restaurant in the UAE isn’t easy. Between rising food costs, staff turnover, and intense competition, profitability is constantly under threat.
Globally, only around 51% of restaurants survive beyond their fifth year,  and one of the biggest silent killers is poor financial control.

Many restaurants still rely on petty cash drawers, shared corporate cards, and manual reimbursements. These outdated processes quietly drain profits and create chaos for finance teams.

The hidden cost of spending inefficiency

Every untracked payment, lost receipt, or delayed supplier transfer chips away at your margins.
What feels like operational friction actually adds up to thousands of dirhams a month in lost value, time, cash, and missed opportunities for rewards.

This is where Qashio comes in.

Turning everyday spending into real revenue

Restaurants that use Qashio don’t just manage expenses, they earn from them.

With instant cashback and rewards on all purchases, restaurant spending can translate into real financial gain.
Typical monthly expenses on supplies, logistics, or marketing can generate enough Qashio Points to fund business-class flights, hotel stays, or up to 2% cashback directly on the bottom line.

Every dirham spent through Qashio works harder for the business, instead of disappearing into a receipt pile.

Simplifying staff and supplier payments

Most restaurant teams rely on one shared company card, or worse - personal cards for business expenses. This leads to OTP delays, security risks, and endless reimbursement forms.

Qashio changes that.
Owners can instantly create corporate cards for every employee or outlet, each with custom spending limits and real-time tracking.
Finance teams see every transaction as it happens,  whether it’s a supplier payment, a delivery fuel charge, or a kitchen purchase.

The result?

• No more OTP delays
• No more personal card use
• Full visibility across every branch

Qashio clients report saving an average of 5 hours a week on reconciliation and admin alone. That’s 260 hours that could be spent serving customers, or growing the restaurant.
