Chowdeck Acquires Mira to Transform Africa’s Food and Hospitality Technology Landscape

Chowdeck, Africa’s leading on-demand delivery platform, has taken a major step toward becoming a full-service technology partner for food and hospitality businesses across the continent. The company recently announced the acquisition of Mira, a rising point-of-sale (POS) solutions provider known for its modern and intuitive tools designed specifically for the African market. With this move, Chowdeck is expanding beyond its core logistics and delivery offerings to deliver a more holistic technology solution for restaurant, retail, and hospitality businesses navigating the unique challenges of the African business environment.

From Delivery Platform to Complete Business Partner

Since launching in Nigeria in October 2021, Chowdeck has quickly risen to become a household name in the delivery space. With over 1.5 million users and more than 20,000 riders operating in 11 Nigerian cities, Chowdeck has allowed customers to receive meals, groceries, and daily essentials in 30 minutes or less. Its recent expansion into Ghana marked a key milestone in its goal to power Africa’s convenience economy. The acquisition of Mira now positions Chowdeck to solve more complex operational problems for food businesses. Mira’s all-in-one POS platform is already trusted by over 500 hospitality businesses to manage sales, inventory, kitchen operations, and customer engagement through a single, easy-to-use interface. The platform was built with a strong understanding of Africa’s unique business realities, where infrastructure challenges, unpredictable supply chains, and limited access to technology often slow down business growth. Mira’s tools are designed to replace chaos with clarity, helping business owners make better decisions and operate more efficiently. By integrating Mira’s capabilities, Chowdeck will not only continue to offer fast and reliable deliveries but will also provide the behind-the-scenes tools that help businesses stay organized, reduce waste, and ultimately become more profitable. This shift transforms Chowdeck into a one-stop solution for food businesses looking to grow in Africa’s challenging, yet opportunity-filled markets.

Addressing Africa’s Operational Gaps with Smart Technology

African food and hospitality businesses often face barriers that their global counterparts do not. Issues like inventory mismanagement, inconsistent supply deliveries, and poor access to customized software have long plagued the sector. In Nigeria, these inefficiencies have been shown to significantly reduce business profitability, pointing to the urgent need for better operational tools. This is where Mira’s technology, now under Chowdeck’s umbrella, becomes a game-changer. The merger will allow Chowdeck to combine its fast-growing delivery infrastructure with advanced business tools to help restaurants and retailers run more efficiently. From reducing stockouts to minimizing food waste and improving order accuracy, the combination of delivery and operational support will help businesses meet growing customer expectations for quality, speed, and convenience. As part of this acquisition, Mira’s CEO, Ted Oladele, will join Chowdeck as Head of Product, bringing with him a wealth of experience in building business tools that work in the African context. Other members of the Mira team will also join Chowdeck to help create innovative solutions for the continent’s evolving food economy.
