Arabic is the default here, not an add-on

Most restaurant platforms treat Arabic as a translation layer bolted onto an English product. Guests notice immediately: the text is Arabic but the layout still reads left to right, the numerals sit oddly, and the whole thing feels like a setting someone switched on rather than a menu designed for them.

WowMenu applies full right-to-left layout โ€” not just translated strings but mirrored navigation, alignment and flow. menuGPT recommends in Arabic too, so a guest browsing in Arabic gets recommendations in Arabic rather than an English suggestion inside an Arabic menu.

This page is also available in Arabic, which is the honest test of whether a platform means it.

Riyadh, Jeddah and the rest run on different clocks

Saudi service patterns do not resemble European ones and technology built around a 7pm dinner peak fits badly. Riyadh's corporate districts fill at lunch and again very late; family dining in Al Malqa and Hittin runs later still. Jeddah's Corniche stretches deep into the night through summer, and Al Balad carries pilgrimage and heritage footfall that arrives in waves rather than steadily.

A menu that recommends consistently matters more when the peak is late and long, because that is precisely when floor staff are least able to sell well.

Ramadan is a different operating model, not a busy month

Iftar and suhoor are effectively two separate services with their own menus, seating patterns and timing, compressed into a period where getting it wrong is expensive. Menus need to change fast, availability changes hour to hour, and group sizes are larger than the rest of the year.

Digital menus update instantly across every table and branch rather than waiting on a reprint, and set menus for iftar can be built as combos that a table adds in one tap instead of assembling item by item.

Works with the POS you already run

WowMenu runs alongside your existing POS rather than replacing it โ€” including the systems most common in the Kingdom. Orders pass through, so inventory and reporting stay where they are. Pricing is in SAR with a 30-day free trial and no card required, and prices are shown inclusive of the 15% VAT rate that applies here.

What would a small uplift be worth to you?

Move the sliders to your own numbers. The point is not our figures โ€” it is how little the uplift has to be before the subscription pays for itself.

5% is the conservative default. WowMenu pilot restaurants have reported considerably more, but your own number is the one that matters.

The subscription is covered once average order value rises about 0.20% โ€” roughly 1 day of the uplift shown.

An estimate based on the figures you entered, not a forecast or a guarantee. Actual results depend on your menu, your guests and how the platform is set up.

Frequently asked questions

Is WowMenu genuinely Arabic, or translated?

Genuinely Arabic. Full right-to-left layout โ€” mirrored navigation and alignment, not just translated text โ€” and menuGPT recommends in Arabic. This page has an Arabic version too.

Does it work with our existing POS?

Yes. WowMenu is a guest-facing menu and ordering layer that passes orders into the POS you already use, so your back office does not change.

What does it cost in Saudi Arabia?

Pricing is in SAR, from SAR 295 per month for up to 20 tables, with a 30-day free trial and no card required. Prices reflect the 15% VAT rate.

Can menus change quickly for Ramadan?

Yes. Menu, pricing and availability changes publish instantly across every table and branch, which matters when iftar and suhoor run as separate services.
