Calo operates a meal-planning and delivery business across the Middle East and beyond, built on a stack of analytics (Metabase, Tableau, Looker, Mixpanel) and customer-engagement tools (Intercom, CleverTap). Heavy operational hiring—over half of their 102 open roles sit in ops and manufacturing—reveals a business scaling physical production and logistics, not just software. Active projects on recipe standardization, food safety systems, and regional menu innovation signal a shift from consumer-app focus toward supply-chain maturity and compliance automation.
Notable leadership hires: Demand Director, Supply Chain Lead
Calo is a personalized nutrition platform that delivers meal plans and prepared meals to customers across the Middle East. Founded in Bahrain in 2019, the company has expanded to multiple countries including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and others, and claims to have delivered millions of meals. The product combines algorithmic meal planning with in-house meal preparation and logistics. Operations, manufacturing, and supply-chain functions represent the largest hiring areas, reflecting capital intensity around food production, inventory management, and regional compliance. The company is actively developing new product lines (including a keto offering and a premium "Calo Black" tier) and optimizing regional menus for local markets.
Calo uses analytics platforms (Metabase, Tableau, Looker, Mixpanel), Python and Node.js for backend services, SQL databases, customer-engagement tools (Intercom, CleverTash, CleverTap), and HR/finance systems (JazzHR, Drata). Content creation relies on Adobe (Premiere Pro, After Effects) and video platforms (TikTok, Instagram).
Calo actively recruits across 10 countries: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Jordan, Lebanon, Pakistan, and the United Kingdom. Over half of open roles are in operations and manufacturing, reflecting regional production and logistics expansion.
Current projects include food safety and quality management system implementation, bulk production recipe standardization, new product lines (keto, premium tier), regional menu optimization (especially UAE), and AI-powered transformation initiatives across operations.
