The authorities, including the Ajman Department of Economic Development (DED), ECDMT, and the Ajman Police, have launched the crackdown and could even shut down eateries who blatantly disregard the orders, an official warned.
Police patrols have been deployed and CCTV cameras installed to monitor the activities of the shops and detect violations.
The official pointed out that the decision excludes fast food centres, cafeterias, and restaurants who provide home delivery.
He urged the restaurants and cafes to abide by the ECDMT rules and take all precautionary measures.
