Qatar's Snoonu has acquired US-based BiteSight, the company's first international acquisition. Neither company disclosed the value of the deal.
BiteSight's app combines video and photo browsing with food ordering, letting users discover and order food by looking at images of real dishes from nearby restaurants. The source describes it as blending the functionality of TikTok and DoorDash. The app has passed 150,000 downloads and reached No. 2 in the Food & Beverage category on the US App Store in June 2025, ahead of Uber Eats, Starbucks and McDonald's.
The acquisition gives Snoonu full ownership of BiteSight's product, brand and technology. According to the source, this departs from the minority stakes Snoonu typically takes in Qatari startups through its Startup Factory program. Snoonu plans to develop new video-based restaurant discovery features and to give merchants broader access to customers across the region.
BiteSight's founders, Bernardo Porbuá Quiroga and Lucius McDaniel, will join Snoonu's team.
The source also notes that Saudi Arabia's Jahez signed a deal in July 2025 to acquire a 76.56% majority stake in Snoonu for roughly $245 million, which closed in two stages in October 2025.
