Ted Oladele, a former VP of Design and Innovation at Flutterwave, has taken the frustration of lengthy restaurant wait times into his own hands. His fintech startup, Mira, aims to revolutionize the dining experience.
Mira’s innovative QR code payment system empowers customers to take control of their dining transactions. By simply scanning a QR code, patrons can view their personalized bill and pay instantly using bank transfers, Apple Pay, or cards. This efficient process eliminates wait times and adds predictability to the mealtime equation.
But Mira doesn’t stop at quick payments. Since its launch in 2022, the startup envisions a future where diners can do more from their phones. Imagine browsing digital menus, placing orders, and even splitting bills—all directly through the Mira platform. This comprehensive point-of-sale solution promises convenience for both restaurants and customers.
Already onboard with over 100 Lagos restaurants, Mira offers a transparent pricing model. For a 2% processing fee and an affordable annual subscription, restaurants gain access to Mira’s services.
Additionally, online vendors can leverage Mira’s link for direct ordering via Instagram or WhatsApp, bypassing third-party delivery fees.
In a market dominated by established players like Paystack and Flutterwave, Mira’s differentiation lies in its unwavering focus on user experience and convenience. Convincing restaurants to switch will require robust marketing and outreach strategies, emphasizing increased profit margins and streamlined account reconciliation through Mira’s payment tracking features.
Ted Oladele remains optimistic about Mira’s scalability. His vision includes onboarding major Lagos restaurants and expanding beyond. With innovation and customer-centricity at its core, Mira promises to make dining smoother, faster, and more enjoyable for all in the Nigerian restaurant scene
