## About

Based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and founded in 2018, Kitopi Catering Services LLC develops a cloud-based platform for restaurants. The company was co-founded by Andres Arenas, Bader Ataya, Mohamad Ballout, and Saman Darkan. In January 2026, Kitopi Catering Services LLC raised USD 50 million in growth capital funding from  EvolutionX Debt Capital. The company has partnered with over 200 brands, across 5 countrues, operating over 60 kitchens.

The company's platform connects restaurants that enable delivery-only locations to service orders, track cooking operations, and manage customer feedback. The company partners with F&B brands and restaurants to provide services that include sourcing ingredients, cooking, packaging, and delivery. The company also developed Shop Kitopi, an online shopping platform for essentials and other food items. The company partners with restaurants and uses its own software, Smart Kitchen Operating System (SKOS) to take care of all the operations.

The company plans to utilize the January 2026 funding to grow its in-house brands in rapidly expanding markets and to speed up its franchising initiatives.
