Dubai restaurants offer discounts for vaccinated diners
A group of Dubai restaurants is offering discounts to customers who have been inoculated against the novel coronavirus as the emirate fights to control the pandemic without closing its doors.
As global businesses find creative ways to survive the pandemic, several Dubai restaurants are offering discounts to vaccinated patrons.
“We decided to do this special campaign for people are getting the vaccine endorsing what is happening by the World Health Organization and globally for populations to get the jab,” Naim Maadad, CEO and founder of Gates Hospitality, told Al-Monitor.

Gates Hospitality, the group behind such Dubai hot spots as Reform Social & Grill, Bistro Des Arts and Publique, offers a 10% discount to residents who have had the first dose of a vaccine and 20% for those who have gotten both doses. Diners must show proof of vaccination to get the discount.
