The news agency quoted Fork N Knife co-founder and CEO Yasser Nasr-Aldinas saying: “Having been in the cloud kitchen industry for eight years, I saw the need for a new model that solves the real challenges faced by restaurant owners.

“We decided to challenge the conventions by offering our CAAS model, which completely removes the fixed costs that eat up the profits of restaurant owners.

“We also leverage technology to enhance the food production process and support our partners to excel in the growing food market.”

The company will use the proceeds to support its mission of advancing the food tech sector through its “Cooking As A Service” (CAAS) model.
