Beyond Delivery - Why We acquired Mira

You’ve probably seen the news - Chowdeck has acquired Mira, a fast-growing provider of modern point-of-sale (POS) solutions tailored for the food and hospitality industry. 

This move marks a major step forward in our journey - from delivering meals and essentials to building technology solutions to power Africa’s commerce and convenience economy. With this acquisition, we are expanding beyond delivery to become a comprehensive technology partner for food businesses across the continent.

Why Mira?

The Mira team has an excellent reputation for building intuitive, effective software solutions for food and hospitality businesses. Since inception, Mira has championed a new kind of business software, one that’s rooted in empathy for local realities and a belief that running a business in Africa should be as seamless as anywhere else.

This philosophy aligns perfectly with Chowdeck’s mission to support food businesses building for Africa. With Mira now part of the Chowdeck family, we are well-positioned to design and deliver new technology solutions that unlock growth, simplify operations, and enhance the customer experience for food and hospitality businesses across the continent.

Why Now?

While food and hospitality businesses in Africa share many of the same operational needs as their global counterparts, they also face unique challenges shaped by infrastructure gaps, inconsistent supply chains and limited access to bespoke technology tools. In Nigeria, for example, multiple studies have highlighted the link between inventory mismanagement and reduced profitability - underscoring the need for smarter systems that can address inefficiencies, minimize stockouts and reduce waste.

These operational challenges present a clear opportunity for technology companies with practical, locally-relevant solutions. By combining our renowned delivery infrastructure with smart tools that enhance business efficiency, we are uniquely positioned to help food businesses overcome long-standing growth barriers and meet the rising expectations of consumers across Africa.

What This Means for Our Partners

With Mira onboard, Chowdeck will:

• Provide more operational support, not just delivery logistics
• Help food businesses scale efficiently and sustainably
• Build tools that are as smart as they are easy to use
• Continue raising the bar for speed, service and reliability

Scaling Africa’s Commerce & Convenience Economy

With the Mira team’s product expertise and our logistics backbone, we’re doubling down on helping Africa’s food sector thrive - whether that’s in a bustling city or a growing township.

As we expand across key African cities, this increased capacity will allow us to support our partners more holistically—empowering them to scale faster, operate smarter, and serve customers better.

With love,

Team Chowdeck
