Chowdeck, Africa’s leading on-demand delivery platform, has acquired Mira, the fast-growing point-of-sale platform built specifically for the food and hospitality industry in Africa.
This is more than an acquisition. It is the beginning of something bigger. A new era where technology not only supports growth, but understands it at the street level.
We Share the Same DNA
Like Mira, Chowdeck was built with local businesses in mind. From kitchen chaos to inventory gaps, from missed deliveries to untracked sales, we have both spent years building for the real, messy, brilliant reality of African entrepreneurship.
This is not just a partnership of platforms. It is a meeting of minds. A coming together of two teams who believe deeply that local businesses deserve world-class tools, and that those tools should work just as well in Abuja or Accra as they do in San Francisco.
We Can Now Offer More Value
Mira’s platform already powers over 500 hospitality brands, helping them manage sales, payments, inventory, kitchen performance, and customer relationships. But the future is even more exciting.
With Chowdeck’s logistics and scale, we will soon unlock:
Seamless order-to-delivery workflows
More affordable last-mile delivery options for customers
Integrated solutions for both online and physical store operations
We are building the first true end-to-end commerce infrastructure for food and hospitality businesses in Africa, from kitchen to checkout to doorstep.
What Mira Users Can Expect
If you are a business using Mira today, nothing breaks. In fact, everything gets better.
You will still get the same tools, support, and reliability you rely on, only now with more power behind the scenes. We are committed to making the transition smooth and beneficial. You will start seeing new capabilities soon — features that simplify how you operate, sell, and grow.
A New Chapter for Mira
Since launch, Mira has stood for more than software. We have stood for belief — belief that African businesses deserve tools that work beautifully, scale effortlessly, and reflect the realities on the ground.
That mission has not changed. But now, we get to deliver on it at 10x the scale.
As part of this acquisition, Mira’s CEO Ted Oladele will join Chowdeck as Head of Product, and key team members will also transition into Chowdeck’s product organization. Together, we will continue building for the same people who made this journey possible: our merchants, our operators, our community.
Olaseike Ibojo, Mira’s cofounder and COO, will be taking a well-earned career break after nearly a decade at Paystack and building Mira simultaneously. Her contribution to Mira’s product, people, and purpose has been profound, and her legacy will continue to shape everything we build going forward.
To our incredible team who worked tirelessly and meticulously, our customers who grew with us and challenged us to do better, and our investors who believed when Mira was just an idea — thank you. This chapter belongs to all of us.
