The Mirus Enterprise platform is the answer to a problem many in the restaurant industry face- an overwhelming amount of data. It all began in 1998 when Brad Anderson was tasked by one of his Cornell professors, who had a consulting business, to crunch an enormous amount of numbers to help clients with menu engineering decisions. Using spreadsheets to get the job done proved to be extremely cumbersome. There had to be a better way.

So, Anderson, along with a small group of innovators with diverse backgrounds in both the restaurant and technology industries, began to develop his own data warehouse product to make the task easier. The unique architecture of the Mirus Data Warehouse allows an array of data sets to be automatically collected and seamlessly knitted together. While the easy to use Mirus Report Writer gives clients total access to slice & dice their data any way they want- no coding skills needed.

We help you access your data so you can quickly & easily answer questions based on facts in order to drive profits and increase efficiencies. 

Much of our success is attributed to our team of specialists, headquartered in Houston, TX. Our team stands by our clients from their initial setup throughout their company's growth and is led by our CEO, VP of Operations & Development, and VP of Client Services.
