- The challenge01
Reporting ran on Cognos, which needed data-warehouse knowledge and some programming. Becoming proficient took about six months.
- What Mirus does02
Mirus holds sales, labor forecasts and schedules, speed of service, guest loyalty, weather and POS data for both concepts, with alerts on sales, guest counts and individual menu items.
- The result03
The analyst was running reports within a day or two. Labor forecasting means much of the week’s result is known before the week ends, and front-of-house contests on appetisers and drinks per hundred guests lift sales when teams engage.
“We know a lot of our results before the week even ends.”
