Foodics

What Foodics is

Foodics is a restaurant-technology company, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Riyadh, that sells cloud point-of-sale and restaurant-management software to food and beverage businesses. It also runs Foodics Pay, which its website describes as "a company licensed by and under the supervision of the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA)", and Foodics Capital, which offers restaurants funding based on their performance.

What they hire for

The 21 Foodics adverts this site has carried recently fall into four groups.

• Sales, renewals and merchant operations. The largest group by far: sales executives in Jeddah and Riyadh (including an expansion team), a key account manager and a customer-support specialist in Dammam & Khobar, a renewals specialist and team leader in Madinah, merchant success in Riyadh, and two roles tied to the payments business, an operations specialist for Foodics Pay and a "Pay Expansion" executive.
• Compliance and risk. An anti-money-laundering officer, an anti-fraud officer, a business continuity (BCM) officer, a global cybersecurity GRC manager and, until recently, a risk officer. Foodics' own board files the open ones under "Regulatory & Government Affairs", and the anti-fraud and Foodics Pay adverts ask for knowledge of Saudi payments regulation specifically, not compliance experience in general. If your background is bank or payments compliance, this is the group to watch.
• Product, data and AI. Senior product managers for Foodics ERP and for Foodics Capital, an AI engineer, and two roles that have since closed: a senior data scientist / ML engineer and an associate AI quality engineer.
• Finance and the CEO's office. A Director of FP&A and Investor Relations, and a CEO Office Manager.

What candidates should know

• Most of its engineering openings are not in Saudi Arabia. On 9 October 2026 Foodics' own board carried 27 openings: 19 in Saudi Arabia and 8 in Amman, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Cairo and Kuwait City. Three of the four engineering openings (backend and ERP) were in Amman; the only Saudi-based one was the AI engineer in Riyadh. This site lists Saudi-based roles only, so if you are open on country, check the board itself.
• Riyadh is not the only Saudi city. The commercial roles are spread across Jeddah, Madinah and Dammam & Khobar. Confirm the city before you plan a move: housing, schooling and commute differ sharply between Riyadh and Jeddah, and a Madinah or Khobar posting is a different decision again.
• The work arrangement is stated advert by advert, and it varies. On 9 October 2026 the Al Khobar customer-support advert was marked on-site with shift work, the Riyadh merchant-success advert asked for willingness to relocate to the Riyadh office, and the AI engineer advert mentioned in-office and hybrid setups. Where an advert says nothing, ask before the final interview, not after the offer.
• Payments roles may sit in a separate company. Foodics' own website calls Foodics Pay "a company" licensed by SAMA. If you are offered a Foodics Pay role, ask which legal entity issues the contract, because that is the employer your work visa is issued under.
• No advert stated a nationality requirement, but that is not a promise. None of the 27 openings on Foodics' board on 9 October 2026 restricted a role to Saudi nationals, and the adverts describe the team as "over 30 nationalities working in 14 countries". An advert that says nothing about nationality can still be subject to Saudisation rules, so confirm with the recruiter that the role is open to non-Saudis before you put time into the process.
• Some compliance jobs are reserved for Saudis by regulation. SAMA's Requirements for Appointments to Senior Positions apply to payment and fintech companies as well as banks. They limit the director of compliance, director of anti-money laundering and director of anti-fraud posts, among others, to Saudi nationals. SAMA's rulebook listed the requirements as in force on 10 October 2026, and SAMA changes them by circular; the last amendment the rulebook records is from June 2021. The Foodics AML and anti-fraud adverts on 9 October 2026 were for officer-level roles, which that list does not name. SAMA's payments regulations also require licensed payment companies such as Foodics Pay to comply with Saudi rules on the share of non-Saudi employees. If compliance is your field, ask the recruiter directly whether the role is open to non-Saudis.
• No advert publishes pay. None of them stated a salary or range. Check comparable roles on our salary pages and read how to negotiate a Saudi offer before you name a number.
• You apply to Foodics directly. The adverts here come from Foodics' own careers board with its agreement, so the text is Foodics' own and the application goes straight to them.
• Ask about the process, the visa and relocation at the first call. Foodics' careers page and adverts do not describe its interview stages or how long hiring takes, and none of the Saudi adverts mentions visa sponsorship. Ask the recruiter how many stages there are and when to expect a decision. If you are applying from outside Saudi Arabia, also ask whether Foodics sponsors the work visa and covers relocation.
