Mítica started in a 2x4 meter store with three hamburgers for sale: the Fired onion, classical and Mythical (the flagship and best-selling product). To date, its menu consists of seven hamburgers and the entrees section "To snack", in which they have five more products, in addition to the beverage section.

According to Abraham Josué Durán Solís, Manager of the branch located on García Lavín avenue, the main problems that arose when the Mítica project began focused on the conducting inventories, product costing and accounting.

“The first months we were trying to operate with another system, but it was very basic, it was only a point of sale, we could charge, we could get reports on how many products we had sold, but we could not inventory, we could not record our supplies, purchases, pay, everything had to be separate, and because of the experience that I had before with Soft Restaurant®, I suggested that we change to a better operating system ”, said the branch manager.

Both the business owner and Durán Solís had already worked with Soft Restaurant® in other establishments, so they knew the convenience and need to use a system like this in Mítica.

What Soft Restaurant® products have you implemented in the restaurant?

"The fact that the kitchen is connected to the cash register and that we do not have to pass physical orders helps a lot to the operational issue because it reduces the times in which a hamburger comes out," said Durán Solís.

Soft Restaurant® e-Delivery online ordering platform

Mítica has its own Soft Restaurant® platform eDelivery, specialized in order management online at home and to pick up, modality that has gained ground among consumers in the last year.

“Sometimes because of the rush we cannot answer the phone and the application of eDelivery It has helped us a lot because the orders are already falling, literally. We no longer have to take about 10 minutes to take an order, ask for a name, address, telephone number ... all that comes when the client registers ”, indicated the Branch Manager.

All we have to do is print and that, in operational matters, has also reduced a lot of time ”.

During the pandemic, diner attendance at the establishment fell more than 70 percent, while online orders through the e-Delivery platform and third-party delivery applications grew by up to 300 percent, according to with Durán Solís.
