Riyadh, 15 September 2025:
Foodics, the leading restaurant operations and financial management platform in MENA, has entered a strategic partnership with Lean Technologies, the region’s foremost financial infrastructure provider.
The agreement, signed during the Money20/20 Middle East conference, marks a milestone in Foodics’ expansion into fintech and reinforces its mission to deliver smarter, data-driven financial solutions to Saudi Arabia’s F&B and retail sectors.
Unified Financial Visibility for Merchants
Through this partnership, operators can now consolidate all bank accounts into one view directly within the Foodics console.
Instead of navigating several banking platforms, they can monitor balances, transactions, and projections across outlets and accounts from a single screen.
This unified control reduces complexity and streamlines operations.
AI and Open Banking Integration
Powered by AI and Open Banking, the centralized system simplifies daily financial management.
It also provides actionable insights, enabling smarter decision-making, stronger liquidity, and sustainable growth.
In addition, the platform equips business owners with real-time clarity and greater resilience.
Unlocking Smarter Financing
The collaboration further introduces new financing opportunities.
By analyzing merchants’ financial performance, the system can instantly generate a reliable creditworthiness score.
Through Foodics Capital, financing becomes accessible in a frictionless way.
Merchants receive tailored credit offers based on real business performance, eliminating the delays of traditional credit models.
Consequently, this shift promotes financial inclusivity for F&B and retail businesses, particularly SMEs.
Executive Insights
“We believe that full visibility into your business is power,” said Ahmad AlZaini, CEO and Co-founder of Foodics.
“By embedding open banking into our platform, we give merchants real-time clarity, control, and confidence to grow stronger businesses.”
“This partnership enables Foodics to evolve from a point-of-sale solution into a full financial enabler for F&B and retail,” added Hisham Al-Falih, CEO and Co-founder of Lean Technologies.
“By integrating Open Banking, Foodics can deliver real-time financial visibility and seamless capital access, shaping the next wave of fintech innovation in the Kingdom.”
Supporting Saudi Arabia’s Fintech Agenda
This launch underscores Foodics’ transformation from a restaurant SaaS platform into a holistic fintech enabler.
It also aligns with the Kingdom’s fintech and Open Banking agenda, reaffirming the company’s role in empowering thousands of entrepreneurs.
