Can Indians and Other Foreign Workers Apply?

Partly. Saudi Arabia has raised localisation rates for restaurants and cafés in phases since 2021, so front counter and cashier roles are increasingly reserved for or targeted at Saudi nationals. Al Baik itself promotes hiring young Saudis, and many of its online postings are for Saudi candidates.

Kitchen crew, food preparation, cleaning, maintenance and logistics roles are the main areas where foreign workers may still be hired, usually through Al Baik’s own recruitment or its authorised recruitment partners. The employer sponsors the work visa and iqama, and recruitment fees must not be charged to workers. A job offer is not a visa, and you should never assume sponsorship is available.
