Company profile
researched Aug 2026Mira is a point-of-sale and business management platform aimed at food, hospitality and retail merchants, including single restaurants, bars, clubs, cafes, hotels and multi-venue chains. The core product covers order management, table and floor-plan management, menu creation and remote menu editing, kitchen display systems, staff permissions, customer profiles and loyalty programs, inventory receiving and purchase orders, built-in payments, and real-time reporting. The system is cloud-based with offline capabilities, and the company positions it against pen-and-paper workflows and legacy systems that separate back-of-house from front-of-house.
Mira also sells a retail-oriented version of the platform, adding variant-level inventory tracking, automatic low-stock alerts, barcode label generation from the dashboard or POS, cash-drawer tracking, and finance, inventory and daily sales reports. A Shopify integration synchronises stock, orders and customer profiles between physical stores and the online store, and Mira offers an ordering website with a custom domain for merchants that only need online orders. The platform is sold alongside first-party hardware, including the Mira Register (a 10-inch display with integrated payments) and the Mira Stand (an Android POS requiring an external Bluetooth printer), plus a mobile Bluetooth receipt printer.
In June 2025, Chowdeck, an on-demand delivery platform in Africa, announced its acquisition of Mira, describing Mira as a point-of-sale platform built for the food and hospitality industry in Africa and framing the deal as the basis for a broader food commerce platform.
Business model
Mira sells software subscriptions to merchants alongside payment processing and POS hardware. Software tiers are a $5/month basic plan for single-location quick-service restaurants needing one to two registers, a $30/month pro plan adding kitchen display, customer management, loyalty, QR digital menus and pay-at-table, and a free online-ordering plan. Basic and pro plans carry a 1% processing fee, while the free online ordering plan carries 2%.
Recurring monthly software subscriptions, a percentage processing fee on transactions (1% on paid plans, 2% on the free online ordering plan), and hardware sales offered either upfront or as monthly instalment plans.
Traction
The website cites use by restaurants and merchant testimonials, including Spektrum Entertainment on improved reporting and a commercial and supply chain lead citing real-time inventory visibility across stores. Mira was described as a fast-growing point-of-sale platform at the time of its acquisition by Chowdeck.
Latest developments
In May and June 2025 Mira shipped a Shopify integration for unified online and in-store inventory and published retail-technology roadmap content. On 24 June 2025 Mira announced that Chowdeck had acquired the company to build a food commerce platform for Africa.

Market position
Positioned as a point-of-sale platform built specifically for the food and hospitality industry in Africa, serving both hospitality and retail merchants; following the June 2025 acquisition it became part of Chowdeck, described as a leading on-demand delivery platform in Africa.
Mira contrasts itself with incumbent systems on the basis of connected front- and back-of-house operations, cloud architecture with offline fallback and high uptime, deeply integrated payments that aid reconciliation and theft prevention, modern hardware, and real-time reporting, versus disconnected systems, paperwork and downtime.
Technology
Cloud-based POS software with offline capability, integrated payments, kitchen display systems, QR digital menus and pay-at-table, real-time inventory sync across locations and channels, barcode label generation, reporting and analytics, and an API-level integration with Shopify. The software runs on Mira's own hardware, including a 10-inch register with integrated payments and an Android-based stand.
Go-to-market
Direct sales and demo requests through the company website ("get in touch with the team", "book demo"), supported by an educational content blog covering POS best practice, retail operations and social selling, webinars for merchants, and a Shopify integration as a channel for omnichannel merchants. Customer testimonials from merchants such as Spektrum Entertainment are used as references.
Restaurants, bars, clubs, cafes, hotels, quick-service restaurants and multi-location chains, as well as retail store operators running from one to roughly 50 stores; content also addresses small businesses moving off cash registers and spreadsheets.
