Breaking Free from Aggregator Dependency: Gustosfera Puts Dubai’s Restaurants Back in Charge
Blog Article
In Dubai’s ever-competitive restaurant industry, digital transformation is no longer an advantage—it’s a necessity. But for many restaurateurs, the digital shift has come at a price: rising commission fees, generic branding, and reduced control over the customer journey. Enter Gustosfera—a powerful, UAE-born platform that offers a better way forward.
Gustosfera is a white-labeled digital commerce solution built specifically for restaurants, cafes, and cloud kitchens that want to take full ownership of their online experience. With a pay-as-you-use model, branded storefronts, and intuitive operational tools, Gustosfera empowers F&B businesses to build and scale on their own terms—free from third-party gatekeepers.
Designed for Restaurateurs, Not Aggregators
Unlike aggregator platforms that act as intermediaries, Gustosfera hands the keys back to restaurant owners. From ordering and payments to delivery and promotions, every customer touchpoint is branded, controlled, and monetized directly by the business.
-
No commissions on orders
-
No vendor ranking algorithms
-
No brand dilution
Instead, Gustosfera enables restaurants to launch their own native Android apps, create fully customized websites, and manage all operations through a streamlined admin dashboard—without requiring a tech team or developer.
The Prepaid Model: Flexibility That Makes Business Sense
At the heart of Gustosfera’s approach is its hourly prepaid billing system, an innovative model that aligns with the operational realities of the UAE market. Restaurateurs purchase credit for hourly system usage, selecting one of three tailored operating modes:
-
Business Mode (AED 2.20/hr) – Full functionality: ordering, payments, and real-time tracking.
-
Display Mode (AED 1.10/hr) – Showcase your brand and menu without taking orders.
-
Offline Mode (Free) – Your digital storefront remains visible even when inactive.
This modular structure enables restaurants to match digital investment with real-time demand. Whether you're running full-service operations during peak hours or maintaining visibility during slower periods, you pay only for what you use.
A Full-Spectrum Digital Suite—Without the Complexity
Gustosfera isn't just a tech tool—it's an end-to-end operating system designed to power every aspect of a restaurant's digital presence:

With zero commissions and rapid onboarding, Gustosfera helps restaurants launch fast and scale smart—ideal for both new ventures and established businesses expanding into new neighborhoods or delivery zones.
