Cereal Protocol reimagines nostalgic cereals in a modern café setting, offering creative cereal blends, specialty coffee, and innovative desserts. By blending flavors with unique experiences, the brand has become a lifestyle destination in Saudi Arabia.
Cereal Protocol transforms beloved childhood cereals into a modern café experience. With over 50 cereal varieties, specialty coffee, and innovative desserts, it’s more than just breakfast—it’s a lifestyle.
From a simple idea to a thriving business
Cereal Protocol started with a simple yet powerful idea: bringing back the nostalgic cereal brands people loved as kids. What began as a passion for classic cereals has now evolved into a unique experience in Saudi Arabia, blending nostalgia with innovation.
At Cereal Protocol, childhood favorites come to life, not just in a bowl but in creative, unexpected ways. Customers can customize their own cereal blends, pair them with ice cream, and even enjoy specialty coffee infused with cereal flavors. Every visit is more than just a meal; it’s an experience filled with memories and excitement.
With over 50 different types of cereal, carefully curated flavors, and an artistic café environment, Cereal Protocol has transformed a childhood staple into a lifestyle brand. It’s not just about breakfast—it’s about reliving cherished memories while discovering something new.
A unique blend of nostalgia and creativity
Cereal Protocol understands that people don’t just visit cafés for food and drinks, they come for experiences, comfort, and a sense of familiarity.
"We always want to be different and offer something new that everyone will love."
From the moment customers step inside, they are immersed in a world that blends the simplicity of childhood favorites with the sophistication of an upscale café. Vibrant cereal displays, artfully crafted desserts, and a gallery-like ambiance make Cereal Protocol more than just a coffee shop, it’s a destination.
Recognizing the growing love for specialty coffee, Cereal Protocol sources high-quality beans from abroad and infuses them with nostalgic cereal milk flavors, creating a unique coffee experience. Another standout creation is a specialized machine that blends ice cream with cereal, allowing customers to craft custom flavors. This dedication to innovation and quality has set the brand apart in the competitive F&B landscape.
The challenge: managing growth and efficiency
As Cereal Protocol’s popularity soared, so did the challenges of running the business. Managing inventory, handling transactions, and keeping up with customer demand required a seamless and efficient system.
“Everyone wants to simplify their business, reports, inventory, the stock we have, and the payment methods,” says Mohamed El-Masry.
Fast, secure, and hassle-free transactions were essential, especially during peak hours. Additionally, tracking inventory, monitoring sales, and generating financial reports needed a more streamlined approach to avoid manual errors and inefficiencies.
How Geidea transformed Cereal Protocol’s operations
To overcome these challenges, Cereal Protocol partnered with Geidea, a leader in payment and financial technology solutions. This partnership revolutionized how the café managed its transactions, making payments smoother for both customers and staff.
With Geidea’s advanced POS (Point of Sale) system, transactions became significantly faster, eliminating long queues and ensuring customers could complete their purchases effortlessly. The system’s flexibility allowed Cereal Protocol to offer multiple payment methods, including credit cards, mobile wallets, and other digital solutions, enhancing customer satisfaction and convenience.
Geidea’s online platform also provided real-time access to transaction data, enabling the accounting team to efficiently track sales, monitor revenue, and generate reports with ease. By integrating this advanced payment system, Cereal Protocol not only reduced manual errors but also improved financial transparency and optimized business efficiency.
"Dealing with companies like Geidea makes transactions simpler for both us and the customer."
The impact was immediate, customers noticed the efficiency, staff found it easier to manage payments, and the business could focus on delivering an exceptional experience.
A future of innovation and growth
Cereal Protocol isn’t just about selling cereal and coffee, it’s about continuously evolving to keep customers engaged and excited. With Geidea’s support, the company is exploring ways to further enhance the customer experience, from digital loyalty programs to automated ordering systems.
“As soon as a customer walks through the door, they get the theme. We combine the super simple and basic with the very fancy.”
Looking ahead, Cereal Protocol aims to expand beyond Saudi Arabia, bringing its unique concept to new markets. With a solid foundation, a growing fan base, and a powerful partnership with Geidea, the brand is well-positioned for success.
A partnership built on success
The story of Cereal Protocol is a testament to the power of innovation, passion, and the right technology. By embracing creativity and leveraging Geidea’s cutting-edge payment solutions, Cereal Protocol has built a seamless and unforgettable customer journey.
As Cereal Protocol continues to grow, one thing remains clear: the combination of nostalgia, creativity, and efficiency is a recipe for lasting success.
