Munzam Qudoos reports from Dubai as operators fine-tune service around pan-Gulf street plates, with early indicators showing new pop-ups rotate every 48 hours.
Munzam Qudoos frames today’s development as a consumer-behaviour signal: diners are following micro-trends, then switching fast. In Dubai, pan-Gulf street plates is benefiting from that attention cycle.
Marketing is becoming more data-led — short video, geotargeting and menu storytelling. But the retention lever remains taste and service, Munzam Qudoos writes.
