What Foodics does
Foodics is a Saudi Arabia-headquartered cloud-based restaurant management and fintech SaaS company founded in 2014, originally in Khobar and now headquartered in Riyadh under the legal entity Al-Saheb Al-Mutqadma for Information Technology. The platform unifies point-of-sale (POS), restaurant management (RMS), integrated payment processing via Foodics Pay, online ordering, accounting, business intelligence, self-ordering kiosks, and a hardware line (Foodics One) into a single multi-tenant cloud stack built on AWS infrastructure. It serves F&B operators ranging from micro merchants to multi-branch enterprise chains across KSA, UAE, Egypt, Kuwait, Jordan and the wider MENA region, with cross-border capabilities extended through the POSRocket, Solo Venture, and Norma AI acquisitions.
The company monetizes through tiered SaaS subscriptions (published pricing in SAR, AED, EGP and KWD across Starter, Basic, Advanced, Cloud Kitchen, and Dine-In plans), transaction-based payment processing fees via Foodics Pay, hardware sales of Foodics One devices, kiosks and PAX D190 terminals, marketplace commissions across 100+ third-party integrations, and an emerging embedded fintech/lending vertical enabled by its SAMA fintech license. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (Foodics Enterprise), self-serve PLG signup for SMBs, an inside-sales motion across country offices, a 2,500+ referral partner program, and a strategic reseller channel. Distribution and brand presence are reinforced by the Foodics App Marketplace (100+ integrations across 15+ categories), Platinum sponsorship of Money20/20 Middle East, official technology partnership with MENA's 50 Best Restaurants, and major TV sponsorships (Million Riyal Menu, Million Pound Menu).
Foodics serves more than 40,000 restaurant branches post-Norma AI consolidation, processed $6 billion in GMV in H1 2025 (up 27% year-over-year), and reported 29% ARR growth, 38% fintech payment volume growth, and 56% international revenue growth in the same period. The company has raised approximately $194 million across three equity rounds through April 2022, completed acquisitions of POSRocket (2022), Solo Venture (2025) and Norma AI (2026), and is positioning for a public listing on the Tadawul (Saudi Exchange) within 2-3 years following a Q4 2024 strategic investment from Kamco Invest.

Foodics competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Toast: US-listed, cloud-based restaurant POS and fintech platform serving SMBs and enterprise chains with integrated payments, online ordering, payroll and capital lending. Most direct global comparable on product scope (POS + payments + fintech + AI/BI) and go-to-market motion.
- SpotOn: Cloud restaurant POS with integrated payments, marketing, loyalty and capital/working-capital lending for SMB F&B operators. Direct comparable on the combined SaaS + payments + embedded fintech thesis that Foodics is pursuing via SAMA.
- TouchBistro: iPad-based cloud POS for restaurants with integrated payments, reservations, inventory and loyalty. Closest pure-SMB peer to Foodics' core offering, particularly relevant to its Foodics One and self-ordering kiosk products.
- Lightspeed Restaurant: Cloud-based POS for full-service and quick-service restaurants with integrated payments, online ordering and analytics. Comparable as a multi-vertical restaurant-tech platform with both SMB and enterprise motions and an international footprint.
- Olo: US-based enterprise restaurant SaaS focused on online ordering, delivery and guest engagement for chain restaurants. Comparable as the digital-ordering and on-demand layer of Foodics Online and as an enterprise chain-software benchmark.
Emerging players
- Resy (American Express): Restaurant reservations and guest-experience platform owned by American Express. Relevant comparator for Foodics' Eat App reservation integration and broader CRM/loyalty strategy at the upper end of the restaurant tech stack.
Regional players
- POSist: India-headquartered cloud restaurant POS platform with multi-country operations and enterprise-chain focus. Comparable in product scope (POS, online, kiosk, BI) and as an emerging international restaurant-tech player with similar scale-up trajectory.
- Sapaad: Dubai-headquartered cloud restaurant POS serving SMBs and chains across the Middle East. Closest regional direct competitor to Foodics in the UAE and Gulf SMB segment, with overlapping Arabic-language product positioning.
Broad incumbents
- Square for Restaurants (Block): Block's restaurant vertical combines Square POS, payments, payroll, capital and online ordering. A much larger incumbent with overlapping capabilities, particularly relevant as a benchmark for Foodics' embedded fintech ambitions.
Others
- Deliverect: Belgian SaaS for order management and delivery aggregator integration, available on Foodics' App Marketplace. Adjacent enabling player — both a partner and a partial competitor at the delivery-integration layer.
