- The challenge01
Daily, weekly and quarterly analysis across 63 units ran in Excel, where missing a cell puts everything off. New data from Panera 2.0, kiosks and other platforms made that untenable, especially under time pressure before corporate meetings.
- What Mirus does02
Mirus consolidates the corporate feeds and the other sources into one place, with centralised reporting on food variance, labor variance, sales and growth.
- The result03
Theft is easier to detect and food cost easier to hold. Daily food and labor variance reporting has saved real dollars: a tenth of a point on food variance reaches the bottom line, and so does an hour or two of labor. Insights picked up at MCON paid back quickly enough to show real value straight away.
“It's very hard to [do] that in Excel and it's not hard to do that in Mirus.”
