History

[edit | edit source]

Foodics was established in 2014 by Ahmad Al-Zaini and Mosab Alothmani in Khobar, Saudi Arabia.[5][6] In 2015, the company joined the Badir Technology Incubator.[5]

In 2017, Foodics raised its first external funding, a US$4 million Series A round led by Raed Ventures and the Riyad Taqnia Fund. At the time, its platform operated primarily as an iPad-based POS system covering transactions, inventory, scheduling, loyalty and e-commerce.[5]

In February 2021, the company closed a US$20 million Series B round led by Sanabil Investments and co-led by Saudi Technology Ventures (STV), with participation from Endeavor Catalyst, Elm and Derayah.[7]

In January 2022, Foodics acquired POSRocket, a Jordanian cloud-based POS provider. In April of the same year, Foodics secured a US$170 million Series C funding round led by Prosus and Sanabil, the largest SaaS financing in the Middle East at that time.[6][8][9][10] By then, the platform had processed about six billion transactions since its inception.[11]

Since late 2022, Foodics has expanded its operations in  Gulf region,  including Qatar and Egypt, and has launched fintech services such as Foodics Capital, a merchant lending platform.[11]

In February 2025, the company acquired a UK-based Solo Venture to expand its self-ordering technology.[12] Foodics also invested in three different startups that focus on AI, data analytics, and supply chain, including Norma, an AI-driven data analytics firm that allows businesses understand customer behavior; Add, an integrated accounting system that simplifies financial reporting, and Arzaq Plus, a platform for supply chain management.[12]
