Oman’s leading casual dining brand, operating 26+ locations across the Sultanate of Oman with strong and sustained growth momentum. Rooted in family-owned values, the brand offers a proven, scalable franchise model, distinctive Italian–American cuisine infused with Middle Eastern flavors, and a warm guest experience that drives strong customer loyalty, repeat visits, and long-term value for partners.
Italian Barrista Café (IBC) was founded in 2014 by Ismail Al Tubi, starting as a small outlet with limited resources and a vision built on ambition, discipline, and long-term growth. From the beginning, IBC prioritized quality and consistency over perfection, focusing on building a strong operational foundation. Expansion began in 2016 with the opening of its second branch, and today, IBC has grown to more than 26+ branches across Oman. Its success is driven by strong leadership, consistent standards, continuous improvement, and a commitment to delivering quality service. IBC is more than just a brand; it defines a standard built for scalable growth and global expansion.
The Franchisee receives extensive pre-opening and post-opening support, including immersive training at established locations and on-site guidance from experienced leadership teams. Continuous training and regular visits ensure smooth operations, ongoing improvement, and alignment with brand standards, empowering the Franchisee to achieve consistent business practices and long-term success.
Our ideal franchise partners have experience in F&B or retail operations and the financial strength to grow the business. They understand how to manage daily operations, train and lead staff, maintain quality, and deliver excellent customer service. Strong knowledge of the local market is important to drive sales and marketing. Above all, we value hands-on partners who uphold our brand standards and are committed to long-term growth.
