1. Eye-Catching 3D Signboards
In Dubai’s stylish neighborhoods, your restaurant’s first impression starts before customers walk in.
What to Use:
3D illuminated signs that glow at night
Neon-style signs for cafés with a retro or Instagrammable vibe
Clean, bold font that matches your brand identity
Make your signage pop on busy streets like Jumeirah, Marina Walk, or Al Wasl.
2. Branded Sidewalk Banners & Roll-Ups
Use tactical banners at your storefront or nearby footpaths to promote:
Happy hour deals
Breakfast or lunch specials
“Now Open” or “Grand Opening” messages
New seasonal items or combo offers
These low-cost tools attract walk-ins from people already nearby.
3. Lamp Post Flags and Street Branding
If your location is close to a high-traffic road or pedestrian area, lamp post flags and branded barricades can be a game-changer.
Great for:
Outdoor food courts
Urban food trucks
Cafés inside commercial districts or event venues
Add your logo, offer, and a QR code for directions or delivery links.
4. Vehicle Branding: Deliveries That Advertise
Have a delivery van or car? Wrap it with appetizing images, contact info, and your brand colors.
Why it works:
Constantly visible on the road
Boosts awareness in residential areas
Looks more professional and trustworthy to customers
Perfect for cafés offering catering or specialty coffee delivery in Dubai.
5. Create an Instagrammable Wall or Mural
Transform one of your outer walls or fences into a photo-friendly feature.
Use bright colors, fun quotes, or food-themed artwork
Add your hashtag and location
Encourage customers to post and tag for discounts or giveaways
Turn your space into a social media magnet — your customers do the marketing for you!
6. Pop-Up Stalls at Events or Markets
Participate in local events, night markets, or mall activations with a branded booth or kiosk.
Offer samples or mini versions of signature dishes
Hand out flyers with limited-time vouchers
Brand your pop-up with roll-ups, flags, and menu boards
A great way to attract a new audience and bring them back to your main location.
7. Construction Hoardings for Upcoming Launches
If you’re about to open a new branch or renovating, turn your hoarding into an ad:
“Coming Soon” banners with appetizing images
Countdown timers or QR codes to follow your page
Recruit staff through a printed “Now Hiring” notice
A well-designed hoarding can build excitement weeks before your doors even open.
8. QR Codes That Lead to Menus or Online Orders
Add scannable QR codes to your signage, banners, and delivery vehicles that link to:
Online ordering platforms
Full digital menu
Reservation system
Google Maps directions
Especially useful in areas with heavy foot traffic and tourists unfamiliar with your brand.
Final Thoughts: Feed Their Curiosity First
Before someone tastes your food, they see your brand. Outdoor advertising helps you stay visible, memorable, and desirable — even before they open the menu.
In Dubai’s competitive dining market, a creative and strategic outdoor presence can fill tables, increase orders, and turn new visitors into loyal fans.
At DNA UAE, we help restaurants and cafes design and install everything from signboards and flags to full branding for delivery vehicles and pop-up booths.
