Portrait of Adnan Jazzar

Regional Operations Manager · Al Tazaj, Jeddah

Restaurant operations, supply chain, and the systems that keep both running.

I’m Adnan Jazzar. I spent fourteen years at McDonald’s Saudi Arabia - from running a store to running its supply chain - and now lead corporate restaurant operations at Al Tazaj, where I drive drive‑thru technology, kitchen optimisation and the franchise partnerships behind the brand.
