Restaurant Bank Account Checklist — Qatar
Opening a bank account for your restaurant in Qatar has a few extra requirements beyond standard corporate accounts. This checklist covers the specific documents, bank features, and POS considerations restaurant owners need.
Documents Required
- CR certificate with food/restaurant activity codes
- Trade License from municipality
- Food establishment license from MME (or application receipt)
- MOA/AOA — attested copies
- Shareholder passports and QIDs
- Board resolution for account opening
- Restaurant tenancy contract
- Company stamp
Bank Features to Request
- POS terminal with merchant account — essential for card payments
- Multiple POS terminals if you have counter and table service
- Daily settlement for faster cash flow
- Online banking for supplier payments
- Cheque book for rent and large supplier payments
Pro Tip
Request POS setup during your bank account application — processing both together saves 1-2 weeks compared to applying for POS separately after account activation.
