KitchenomiKs Spices Up Oman’s Food Tech Scene With $3.2M Funding Boost

Oman’s food tech scene just got spicier. KitchenomiKs, a Muscat-based company specialising in tech-driven dining experiences, has closed a fresh $3.2 million funding round led by Jasoor Ventures. That pushes its total funding to roughly $6.7 million since it kicked off in 2022 – not bad going for a business that’s only two years old.

The company was founded by entrepreneur Aankush Bhatia, who seems to have his finger firmly on the pulse of the region’s growing appetite for convenience and digital innovation. In just a short time, KitchenomiKs has churned out over one million meals across Muscat, operating through a central kitchen supported by a network of satellite hubs. They currently manage 13 food and beverage brands – a mix of home-grown concepts and collaborative ventures with international and local partners. I reckon that kind of model keeps things agile, though it must be a bit of a faff keeping all those brands aligned under one system.

The fresh capital is set to fuel the company’s expansion both inside and outside Oman. Part of the money will go towards scaling its proprietary technology platform, KiKsIQ – a system designed to optimise meal prep, logistics, and customer satisfaction all in one go. They’ve also hinted at plans to roll out “innovative food solutions,” which in plain English probably means pushing further into smarter kitchens, delivery tech and maybe a few daring flavour experiments.

What struck me while reading their announcement was the sense of gratitude that ran through it. The team credited their staff, customers, partners, and investors for the growth so far. It’s the kind of humble tone we don’t always hear from startups in a rush to scale. And believe it or not, that humility might be their secret sauce. In the food tech world, reputation matters as much as recipes.

Here at Arageek, we’ve bumped into plenty of startups with slick apps and lofty goals, but few that’ve balanced speed with a solid operations backbone. KitchenomiKs feels different – more measured, more real. One of our writers joked over coffee that it’s “spot on timing” for Oman to emerge in the regional culinary tech race. Can’t argue with that.

That said, scaling food operations is never a walk in the park. Regulatory hurdles, supply chain pressures, and consumer expectations can change faster than a dinner rush on a Friday night. Yet, KitchenomiKs seems ready to take those challenges head-on. With Jasoor Ventures backing their next chapter, they’re poised to cook up something big – or at least, I’d be chuffed to bits if they do.

And if they manage to pull it off, it could definately set a new benchmark for MENA’s growing food tech sector – showing that innovation doesn’t have to compromise flavour, or common sense.
