Zyda

Introduction

Zyda is an order management platform which helps local businesses by providing a seamless online ordering experience, and simplifying restaurant operations. The Zyda-Foodics integration ties in Zyda-based online stores with Foodics point-of-sale (POS) services, and ensures store owners are able to sell and sync their orders via both online and offline channels, so when an order is received on Zyda, it is synced with Foodics.

Zyda helps restaurants and retail stores in launching their own commission-free online ordering system in just 24 hours.

Zyda is already empowering +1,000 businesses across the GCC.

This integration will allow your business to receive orders from your zyda-powered online store directly on your Foodics Cashier Application.
