Multi-brand F&B operator with in-house kitchen operating system across Middle East
Kitopi operates a multi-brand food business across five Middle East markets (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar) with over 200 outlets, backed by proprietary smart kitchen operating system (SKOS) built in-house. The hiring and project mix reveals operational maturity challenges: 39 active roles skew heavily toward ops (21 headcount) and finance (4), with active projects spanning kitchen expansions, payroll system overhauls, and compliance automation—signals that scaling logistics and financial controls across regions is consuming engineering and finance focus.
