Overview

Mira was building the operating system for restaurants in emerging markets — software that let them take online orders, run their kitchen, manage inventory, track payments, and grow without depending on third-party platforms eating into their margins.

I joined as Lead Frontend Engineer and owned two core products: the ordering experience, and Kitchen — the merchant dashboard where restaurants managed their daily operations. By the end of 2024, Mira had processed ₦2.4B in GMV across 228,930 transactions for 438 restaurants — a 4,905% increase in order volume from the year before.

They served everything from QSR chains and cafes to fine dining, cloud kitchens, and retail. Grey Matter, Ni Fries, Dulce Cafe, Coffee & Co were among the restaurants that trusted Mira with their online revenue.

Beyond ordering, we shipped Mira POS, a full inventory management system, a payments layer with virtual accounts, and Mira for Retail — expanding the platform well beyond its original scope. In 2025, Chowdeck acquired Mira to build Africa's most powerful food commerce platform.

What I built
→ Built the customer ordering flow across multiple storefronts — menu browsing, cart, Google Maps address input, allergen display, scheduled delivery, discounts, and multi-method payment (Paystack, bank transfer, Patronize)
→ Built the Scan → Order → Pay QR dine-in experience — table-based ordering, pay existing bill, add-ons, and Google Analytics event tracking on each opened QR
→ Built Kitchen, the merchant dashboard — live order management, menu and stock editing, bulk product edits, sales channel management, fulfillment flows with quality assurance, and order voiding
→ Built sales history and reporting — filterable sales history by staff and sales channel, EOD reports, top items by value and volume, riders report, and inventory reports
→ Built inventory management — valuation, transfer with staff assignment, inventory count, purchase orders, and vendor management
→ Built customer management — customer profiles, store credit, smart groups with brand and tag search, and customer export
→ Integrated Shopify for product and inventory sync
→ Built subscription management UI — subscription banner, countdown, and plan controls
→ Built white-label ordering for Ni Fries — a fully customised storefront on the same platform
→ Built admin insights — audit logs, business management, payout tracking, and POS admin controls
→ From ~1,000 monthly transactions in January 2024 to 52,000+ by November — a 2,101% increase
