Exciting news from The Cloud HQ! 🚀 We’re thrilled to announce  the successful first close of our Series B funding round, securing

But that’s not all – we’ve been cooking up something special. We’ve strategically acquired KBOX, a UK-based food tech startup, adding a whopping 200 locations to our global portfolio. This move is a game-changer, marking our strategic entry into European markets and setting the stage for expansion across
the UK and beyond.

and Riyadh, heralding a new era of growth for The Cloud in the EMEA region. Our mission to revolutionize global dining, empower restaurateurs, and set new standards in food tech is stronger than ever. 🌐”
