Managing Your Restaurant During Ramadan: A Complete Guide

Ramadan is one of the most significant periods for restaurants in Egypt and across the MENA region. With changed dining patterns, peak Iftar rushes, and special menu requirements, preparation is key.

Adjusted Operating Hours

Most customers will be dining after sunset (Iftar) and in the late evening (Suhoor). Adjust your staff schedules accordingly and ensure your digital menu reflects updated hours.

Special Ramadan Menu

Create dedicated Ramadan sections in your Glabs menu with traditional dishes like Fattah, Konafa, and Qatayef. Use the branch menu availability feature to activate these items only during Ramadan.

Managing the Iftar Rush

The hour after sunset is the busiest time. Use Glabs analytics to understand your peak times and staff accordingly. QR ordering is especially valuable during this period as it reduces bottlenecks.

Advance Reservations

Use the Glabs reservation system to manage advance Iftar bookings and ensure you don't turn away guests during peak times.
