The axis your branches turn on
Mihwar is one app that organises the daily work of restaurants, cafés and kitchens with many branches — so every branch runs the same way every day, from opening to closing, without relying on one person’s memory.
Modern businesses, still run on group chats and paper
In most growing chains, a branch’s day is scattered across places that have nothing to do with each other.
The result: the area manager learns a branch skipped its closing checklist when a customer complains, a fault reported on Monday is still there on Thursday, and an inspector’s visit turns into a night of hunting for papers.
The software that exists was made for people outside the branch — the accountant, the till, the head-office IT team. It takes months and a consultant to set up, and nobody in the branch ever opens it.
So we built Mihwar for the people who work in the branch itself.
- Tomorrow’s orderA voice note to the warehouse
- Fridge temperaturesA sheet taped to its door
- Last month’s inspectionA form in a folder nobody can find
- Next week’s shiftsA spreadsheet on the manager’s laptop
- What was prepped, and whenA marker on masking tape
- The broken fryerA phone call nobody wrote down
- Last week’s problemA WhatsApp message nobody followed up
- How to clean the slicerA binder nobody opens
In Mihwar, each of these has its own app — and all eight share one place, for every branch.
Mihwar is Arabic for “axis”
A branch runs on many kinds of work: orders, checklists, shifts, maintenance and more. In most businesses each has its own tool and its own records. Mihwar gathers them around one centre — your branches, your team and one record of everything that happens — and all eight apps turn around it.
Our mark draws the idea: eight sides that are the eight apps, around one solid centre.
What it does, and what it leaves to others
Mihwar runs
The daily work of every branch: what to order, what to check, who’s on shift, what needs fixing or following up, and the procedures the team signs.
One app, on the phones the team already carries — for the branches and head office alike.
And leaves to the systems you already have
- Sales and paymentsYour till (POS), such as Foodics
- Accounts and payrollYour accounting and payroll software
- Stock counts and costingYour inventory or ERP system
- Reservations and loyaltyThe apps your guests already use
Mihwar works beside them, not instead of them. It suggests order quantities from your branches’ own order history, so it doesn’t need a stock count to work.
For chains the group chat can no longer hold
Restaurants, cafés, bakeries and cloud kitchens with roughly 5 to 30 branches, starting in Riyadh and Amman — built for everyone who works in them, from the cook to the owner.
- The cook
“What do I need to do now?”
Sees today’s steps on their own phone, in their own language — then gets back to the kitchen.
- The branch manager
“What needs me today?”
Starts the day knowing what needs them, and ends it knowing nothing was missed.
- The area manager
“Which branch should I visit?”
Sees which branches need them before getting in the car.
- The owner
“Is every branch under control?”
Gets the answer on one page, without calling anyone.
Four promises we hold ourselves to
In the words of the people on the floor
No jargon from a manual — the words the team actually says. Its Arabic is written in Arabic, not translated from English.

Only what’s built
If we haven’t built something yet, we say so plainly — here and in the app.
Logos we don’t haveInvented numbersScreens that don’t exist
Tried by the people who’ll use it
Before we call an app ready, we use it the way each of them will — and fix whatever gets in their way.

We’re early — and building it with the people who run operations
All eight apps run today. Because we’re still a small team, we work closely with a few chains and decide what to build next from what we see in their branches. Tell us about yours.
