UAE-based leading digital payment solutions provider Network International has entered into a strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia-based food and beverage (F&B) and retail technology startup, Foodics in order to strengthen F&B payments in the Emirates.
Through this partnership, SMEs in the UAE’s F&B sector will get access to Foodics’ ECR (electronic cash register) and its software platform offering a range of value-added services (VAS) with fully integrated Network International payment terminals, ensuring fast, secure, and seamless customer experiences.
The integrated payments solution through Network’s POS platform will eliminate manual entry errors at the merchant outlet while improving operational efficiencies.
This partnership will particularly benefit thousands of F&B SME owners in the UAE who manage cafes, fast food outlets, food trucks, bakeries, restaurants, and so on.
