<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCan you tell us how you got started in the restaurant industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In opening our very first Al-Medyaf location, we envisioned offering traditional Gulf cuisine with a modern, innovative twist\u2014especially for rice dishes. Aside from the menu, we put great effort into creating a welcoming design and ambiance, providing great emphasis on cleanliness, top-tier service, and carefully crafted marketing strategies to ensure a memorable dining experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why did you choose to focus on Saudi cuisine in particular? Was it due to the results of your research on potential competitors? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the strong competition, we\u2019ve found there\u2019s still plenty of opportunity in the Saudi market. Local consumers love their staple meals, and we knew we could meet that demand\u2014so we decided to focus on Saudi cuisine. We’re continuing to expand across Saudi Arabia and hope to open new branches in Riyadh soon, God willing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nowadays, online orders and delivery apps are in great demand. How has Al-Medyaf benefited from Sapaad\u2019s solutions such as Sapaad.Online to meet this customer need? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Delivery apps are a big part of how we run our restaurant, and Sapaad has been a huge help in this area. It\u2019s made it easy for us to offer multiple ordering options, like delivery and curbside pickup, and has really streamlined our order management. Sapaad has been tremendously helpful in simplifying our day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What challenges did you face with your previous POS systems, and how has Sapaad made this aspect of operation easier for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As Al-Medyaf grew, so did our operational needs, so at some point we required a more advanced system that could handle vast amounts of data to help support our decision-making. Sapaad provides us with detailed reports on everything\u2014sales, costs, marketing, and more. These reports make it easy for us to gain actionable insights in order to make smarter business decisions. Our old systems simply didn\u2019t offer any of these features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Would you recommend Sapaad to your fellow restaurant owners? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our partnership with Sapaad has grown alongside the expansion of our restaurant business, and it remains a key part of our success. Managing and tracking the performance of multiple restaurant locations is much easier with Sapaad, thanks to its intuitive, accessible-from-anywhere dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s also incredibly useful for handling back-of-house operations, especially when it comes to cost calculation and inventory management. Sapaad has played a significant role in our growth over the years. The restaurant sector has definitely experienced significant growth. The creativity of young entrepreneurs has had a profound impact, evident in everything\u2014from ideas and service styles to preparation methods and branch designs. Even as a competitor, I truly enjoy witnessing this evolution, and I believe this new wave of creativity and innovation encourages us all to improve. In the past, food service was quite basic and lacked imagination, but today, it\u2019s a completely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You mentioned earlier that there were plans to expand to Riyadh, but what about the Gulf countries?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n After Riyadh, we plan to expand into the Western region and other areas within the Kingdom, God willing. As for the Gulf market, we have some initial plans, but we prefer to keep them under wraps for now. It’s no secret\u2014the most important factors are close monitoring and continuous improvement. Pay attention to your daily operations, and you\u2019ll always find ways to make things a little better. Doing your homework and being thoughtful about developing and implementing new strategies is crucial. And, of course, never forget the role of God\u2019s grace in achieving success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As Al-Medyaf continues its expansion across the Kingdom, Mohammed Al-Ghanem\u2019s dedication to excellence remains unwavering. With the support of Sapaad\u2019s cutting-edge technology, he ensures smooth operations, sustained growth, and a commitment to quality\u2014paving the way for even greater success in the evolving Saudi restaurant industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In Saudi Arabia’s expanding business landscape, inspiring stories of ambitious entrepreneurs continue to emerge.
