Adora POS is a cloud-based point-of-sale system developed and designed specifically for pizzerias and multi-unit pizza restaurant operations. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Roseville, California, the company was created by Sharli Younan, a restaurant technology executive who previously served as chief technology officer for Mountain Mike's Pizza, a California-based pizza chain. The platform supports front-of-house ordering, online ordering, delivery management, kitchen operations, and enterprise-level reporting, with a particular focus on the needs of pizza franchises and multi-location operators.
History
editAdora POS was founded in 2014 by Sharli Younan, a restaurant technology executive who previously served as chief technology officer for Mountain Mike's Pizza, a California-based pizza chain. Younan developed the platform in response to what he identified as fundamental limitations in existing point-of-sale systems, particularly their inability to scale across multi-location pizza franchise operations. The platform was initially deployed at Mountain Mike's Pizza.
In 2015, the company launched its online ordering system and enterprise portal alongside a Google Maps integration for delivery management. A call center module was added in 2016, and in 2017, the company relocated its headquarters from San Jose to Roseville, California.
Between 2018 and 2019, Adora introduced a self-service kiosk module and expanded its third-party delivery integrations to include Uber Eats, Grubhub, and DoorDash.[1] In 2021, the company established a partnership with Marco's Pizza.
In 2022 and 2023, Adora launched a loyalty program feature and added gift card integrations through Valutec. In 2024, the company released the Adora Cloud marketing suite and was named Partner of the Year by Pizza Guys, a California-based pizza chain.[2] The following year, Adora launched Adora Connect, a mobile application for restaurant managers, staff, and drivers. Adora also partners with AI voice ordering providers.[3]
Products and Services

The system is designed to be hardware-agnostic, meaning operators can run the platform on any internet-connected device without proprietary terminals.

The system supports menu customization, including unlimited toppings, promotional pricing, and coupon management, with controls available at both the individual store and chain-wide level.
Delivery management tools include Google Maps integration for driver dispatch and real-time tracking, color-coded order timing on dispatch screens, and automated customer text notifications sent upon driver arrival. Operators can configure delivery zones, minimum order thresholds, and delivery fees within the system.
Back-of-house kitchen tools organize production into stages covering prep list, make line, and cut and wrap, with production time reporting accessible to managers. Orders route directly from the customer-facing interface to kitchen display screens.
The platform includes a customizable loyalty program allowing operators to define point accumulation rules, redemption options, and chain-wide or store-specific promotions. Gift card integration is also supported.
