Alwans For Information Technology (Foodics)

Saudi Arabia · Privately owned

Foodics sells cloud-based point-of-sale and management software that helps restaurants run their operations.

Foodics is a software company that gives restaurants the digital tools to run their day-to-day business. Its core product is a cloud-based point-of-sale system — the modern version of the cash register — but it does much more than ring up orders. It handles menus, payments, inventory, staff scheduling, and customer data, all in one place, and lets owners watch how their restaurants are performing from a dashboard.

The people who pay Foodics are restaurant operators, mostly small and growing chains across the Middle East and North Africa. A café or a burger joint signs up, pays a recurring subscription, and gets software that runs on a tablet or terminal. Owners choose it because it replaces a tangle of spreadsheets and separate tools with one system, and because it is built for their region rather than adapted from somewhere else. The business model is the classic software story: build the product once, then sell it to as many restaurants as possible on a subscription, so each new customer adds revenue at very little extra cost. Foodics also makes money from payments processing and from add-on services like hardware and financing, which grow as its customers do. The company raised venture funding to expand, and it has pushed into new markets and new tools for the restaurants it already serves.


There is a real opportunity here, because the MENA region has a huge number of independent restaurants that still run on paper or basic cash registers. But it is also a crowded, competitive space, and restaurant software is only as valuable as it is reliable — when the system goes down at dinner rush, the customer feels it immediately. Foodics is betting that being the local specialist, close to its customers and tuned to how business works in the region, is a durable edge.
