What Jahez International Company does

Jahez International Company for Information Systems Technology is a Saudi Arabia-headquartered online food delivery and quick commerce platform listed on the Tadawul stock exchange (ticker: 9526 / JAHEZ), with headquarters in Riyadh and operations across Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar. The company operates a mobile-first marketplace that connects individual consumers with over 55,000 restaurant partners, supplemented by home-cooked meal offerings via a partnership with the Nine Tenths platform and dark-store-based quick commerce operations. Jahez also owns a 76.56% majority stake in Qatar-based Snoonu (acquired July 2025 for $245M) and fully owns dessert delivery platform The Chefz (acquired for $172.9M in 2022-2023). The company holds approximately 32% market share in Saudi Arabia's food delivery market and was recognized as a top delivery app in Kuwait via the Service Hero Customer Satisfaction Index.

The platform's core technology stack centers on a real-time two-sided marketplace with order tracking, scheduled delivery windows, Apple Pay and cash-on-delivery payment options, and integration with restaurant POS systems. Distribution is primarily through self-serve iOS and Android apps, augmented by the company website and a strategic cross-platform partnership with noon that exposes Jahez food delivery inside the noon app and noon Minutes inside Jahez. Jahez is also piloting autonomous last-mile delivery robots in Riyadh via partnerships with ROSHN Group and Robot.com (formerly Kiwibot).

Jahez generates revenue primarily through marketplace commissions of 15-35% charged to restaurant partners, transaction/delivery fees from consumers, and is expanding into adjacent quick commerce revenue streams through its noon partnership and dark store operations. Recent financial performance includes Q1 2025 net income growth of 185% YoY and adjusted EBITDA growth of 128% YoY across all geographies and verticals, with FY2025 GMV growth of 10.8% while maintaining profitability. In 2025, the company also secured a SAR 150M (~$40M) eight-year Islamic credit facility from National Bank of Bahrain to fund its headquarters capital expenditures.
