He comments, 'We are proud to host the first edition of the F&B Circle in partnership with FFCC. The idea was to bring together impactful voices from the industry – to connect and exchange real experiences to learn from each other. This reflects our commitment to the UAE market, supporting restaurants and F&B businesses and continuing to drive the industry forward with Foodics' future-ready tech solutions.'

When asked for advice for F&B entrepreneurs entering the industry, Hayder urged them to be patient while Chef Ali Yazdi emphasized consistency saying, 'You don't need to be the first, but you can be the best so be consistent and never sacrifice quality for quantity.' 'This event was a great opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and discuss opportunities and challenges in the F&B industry. Technology is at the core of transformation across different sectors including F&B. At Papa Johns, where delivery plays a major role, it's essential that our app provides a customized experience as well.
