Our history

The executives of Mountain Mike’s pizza were frustrated by the POS options available on the market.

Adora Founder & CEO Sharli Younan decided to take matters into his own hands. After experiencing how POS systems failed to meet the technology needs of restaurants in the modern world, and how they lacked the ability to scale to work for multiple store franchises, Sharli set out to create a sleeker, more effective POS.
