Indoor air quality for restaurants and cafés in the UAE

Busy dining rooms, open kitchens and shisha lounges change the air fast. We measure it and help you keep it fresh for guests and staff.

In short

Restaurants combine high occupancy with cooking fumes, so CO₂ and fine particles can rise quickly. Monitoring dining rooms and kitchens shows when ventilation cannot keep up, and guides kitchen extraction, fresh air and purification decisions.

Why it matters

Why air quality matters in restaurants & cafés

Cooking releases fine particles and gases, and a full dining room raises CO₂. Open kitchens, grills and lounges can push smoke and odours into seating areas.

Data shows whether the problem is extraction, fresh air or both, so the fix is targeted.

What we measure

  • PM2.5 from cooking and smoke
  • CO₂ in full dining rooms
  • TVOC and odours
  • Temperature
  • Humidity

Restaurants & Cafés: common questions

Have another question? Ask our team

Why does smoke drift into our dining room?

Usually because kitchen extraction and fresh-air supply are out of balance. Measuring particles in both areas shows where air is moving.

Can purifiers remove cooking odours?

Activated carbon helps with odours and some gases, but the main fix is good extraction at the source.
