Barista

Kitopi is the world's leading tech-powered multi-brand restaurant. With a
mission to satisfy the world's appetite, Kitopi operates a portfolio of both
invested and franchised F&B brands, serving as enablers in the food market by
helping brands to grow and scale, both in the delivery and dine-in space.

Launched in Dubai, UAE in January ‎2018, Kitopi has grown to become one of the
greatest success stories in the cloud kitchen and food tech space. In July
‎2021, Kitopi announced its $‎415 million Series C funding round, led by the
world's largest technology-focused investment fund, Softbank Group Corp's
Vision Fund ‎2. This investment catapulted Kitopi to the prestigious Unicorn
status, making it the fastest Unicorn to have emerged from the MENA region.

As a leading food-tech business, Kitopi's growth has been largely fueled by
its innovative and scalable software solutions. Kitopi's kitchens are powered
by its proprietary Smart Kitchen Operating System (SKOS) - an in-house suite
of applications that optimizes cloud kitchen operations in real-time. As part
of its growth roadmap, technological innovation, data science, artificial
intelligence, and robotics will take center stage as Kitopi continues to
reinvent the food industry as we know it today.

With over ‎4,000 employees, Kitopi currently operates ‎200+ locations across the
UAE, KSA, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar, and runs its engineering hub in Krakow,
Poland, its robotics hub in Denmark, and its global customer experience center
in Dubai, UAE.
