Riyadh — Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Foodics, the leading Cloud-based Restaurant Operations & Financial Management Platform in the Middle East, have announced a strategic commercial agreement valued at USD 10 million to power Foodics’ regional expansion and accelerate the development of its proprietary AI-driven solutions aimed at transforming the food and hospitality sector.
Under the agreement, AWS will deliver a scalable and secure cloud infrastructure that underpins Foodics’ platform, enabling the company to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a core element of its SaaS Restaurant Management Solution. Foodics plans to leverage this enhanced infrastructure to launch several AI initiatives, including predictive demand forecasting, intelligent inventory management, dynamic pricing, and AI-driven recommendations, helping restaurants optimize their operations and financial performance.
Ahmad AlZaini, CEO and Co-founder of Foodics, stated:
“At Foodics, we see ourselves as a fintech-first SaaS platform with a mission to empower both SMEs and large enterprises in the F&B sector. This multi-million dollar agreement with AWS gives us the cloud and AI infrastructure to double down on predictive analytics — from demand forecasting to dynamic pricing and intelligent inventory management, and to unlock even more advanced capabilities in the future. These are not add-ons; they are part of the foundation that will redefine how restaurants of every size manage their operations and finances.”
Amr Masri, Country Leader, KSA, AWS, added:
“This agreement with Foodics highlights the immense potential of cloud computing and AI to revolutionize the food and hospitality sector. AWS is proud to provide the foundational technology that will enable Foodics to accelerate the development of their AI-driven solutions, from dynamic pricing to intelligent recommendations, ensuring restaurants can operate smarter, more efficiently, and with greater financial control.”
