BCG’s Innovation Talks with Jihad Bou Nasr from Kitopi HD

Kitopi is among the world’s leading managed cloud kitchen platforms that cooks and delivers meals on behalf of restaurants to help them expand their delivery reach. Founded in 2018, today the company has 65 cloud kitchens operating in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Kuwait, and is on track to achieve its bold mission—to satisfy the world’s appetite. Kitopi has built partnerships with more than 200 brands and last year launched a grocery vertical called “Shop Kitopi,” which is a one-stop-shop to buy essentials and food items that promises delivery in 60 minutes or less. When asked about the genesis of the company name, Nasr is quick to respond. “Most everyone is curious about where we got the name. But it’s really quite easy. We simply blended two words, kitchen and utopia.” Recently, BCG Managing Director and Partner, Giuseppe Bonaccorsi, interviewed Jihad Bou Nasr to discuss Kitopi’s business model, expansion plans, customers, and, of course, technologies.
