Chowdeck, a leading African delivery platform, has acquired Mira, a fast-growing point-of-sale startup for food and hospitality businesses.
The acquisition lets Chowdeck expand beyond just delivery services. Mira’s platform helps over 500 businesses manage sales, inventory, kitchen operations, and customer engagement through one easy system. This means Chowdeck can now offer more than just quick deliveries – they can support restaurants, supermarkets, and pharmacies with tools to run their operations better.
Mira was founded in 2023 by former Flutterwave and Paystack executives. Its software helps businesses tackle common challenges like inventory management and supply chain issues, which are big problems in Africa’s hospitality sector. The deal also brings Mira’s investors, including Microtraction, into Chowdeck’s ownership.
Chowdeck CEO Femi Aluko said the move fits the company’s goal to become a full technology partner for food businesses across Africa. Mira’s CEO, Ted Oladele, will join Chowdeck as Head of Product to help build new solutions tailored for these businesses.
Chowdeck started in 2021 and operates in Nigeria and Ghana. It has over 1.5 million users and more than 20,000 riders. The company aims to improve vendor support and add new revenue streams like POS services and financing, not just delivery fees.
“We are thrilled to welcome Mira to the Chowdeck family. I’ve admired their work for a long time, and I’m excited about what we can build together,” said Femi Aluko.
This acquisition marks a big step for Chowdeck as it moves from just delivering food to powering the technology behind Africa’s food and hospitality businesses.
