History

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

In February 2025, the company acquired a UK-based Solo Venture to expand its self-ordering technology. 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.

On October 19, 2025, Foodics and Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced a strategic $10 million agreement to accelerate Foodics’ AI roadmap and integrate predictive analytics into its cloud-based restaurant management platform.
