Nigerian delivery giant Chowdeck has acquired Mira, a fast-growing point-of-sale (POS) platform serving the food and hospitality sector, in a move that positions Chowdeck as a full-service technology partner for food businesses across Africa.
Why it matters
With Mira’s acquisition, Chowdeck is entering the business operations layer — offering tools to manage sales, inventory, kitchen workflows, and customer engagement, all under one roof.
By the numbers:
- Mira powers 500+ hospitality businesses with its POS platform.
- Chowdeck has over 1.5 million users, 20,000 riders, and operations in 11 cities.
- The company recently expanded from Nigeria to Ghana.
The big picture
Food and hospitality businesses in Africa often face structural issues: supply chain instability, infrastructure gaps, and poor access to tailored software. Mira was designed to bridge that gap — and now, with Chowdeck’s logistics and scale, the offering becomes far more powerful.
“From inventory chaos to growth clarity,” Mira has quietly underpinned some of Africa’s most innovative hospitality brands.
Zoom in
Chowdeck will tap Mira’s product development expertise to roll out new solutions aimed at improving operational efficiency, reducing stockouts, and minimizing waste — especially in markets like Nigeria, where inventory mismanagement has a direct impact on profitability.
What they’re saying
“We are thrilled to welcome Mira to the Chowdeck family,” said Femi Aluko, CEO and co-founder of Chowdeck. “Their deep experience solving real operational challenges will help us empower our partners to succeed.”
What’s next
As part of the deal, Mira CEO Ted Oladele joins Chowdeck as Head of Product, bringing key members of his team along. The combined force is set to develop new business tools tailored for Africa’s hospitality market — aiming to raise the bar on speed, quality, and convenience for both businesses and consumers.
