How to get a mobile app for your restaurant or café in Saudi Arabia
A short, practical guide for owners who want their own branded iOS and Android app.
The short answer
Nooks designs, builds and publishes a branded iOS and Android app for your restaurant or café under your own name on the App Store and Google Play, and connects it to your Foodics POS. It costs SAR 199 per month for the first branch and SAR 75 per month for each additional branch, with 0% commission on orders. You do not need a developer: you choose your colors and logo in a setup wizard and Nooks handles menu sync, payments setup and store submission. Nooks is a Saudi company based in Madinah.
Your options for getting an app
- Hire a custom development agency. Full control over design, but it usually means a large upfront cost, a long build, and paying again for every change and for ongoing maintenance and store updates.
- Use a third-party ordering marketplace. Fast to start, but customers belong to the marketplace and you pay a commission on every order. Your brand is not the one on the customer's phone.
- Use a branded app platform such as Nooks. Your own app under your own name, a fixed monthly price, no commission, and the platform handles building, updates and store submission. This is the option Nooks offers.
How it works with Nooks
- Sign up at nooks.space and choose your colors and upload your logo in the setup wizard.
- Connect your menu from Foodics so items, prices and branches stay in sync.
- Set up payments with your own Moyasar account (cards, mada and Apple Pay) so money goes to your account.
- Nooks submits your branded app to the App Store and Google Play. Apple's review typically takes one to three days.
- Orders arrive in the Foodics POS your team already uses.
