Mirus Reporter

Bobby Cox Companies, Inc. has grown from a single coffee shop in 1961 to a multi-concept restaurant company with more than 70 locations. Brands include Rosa's Cafe, Texas Burger and Taco Villa. 

I had the opportunity to sit down with Bobby Cox Companies' POS Systems Administrator, Robert Nowlin, to talk about how Mirus helps every department in their company and some tips on POS conversions. 

2022 was a busy year for the Mirus team. We welcomed 10 new multi-unit restaurant clients with a total of over 1,000 locations. Our Development team rolled out a number of new features and improvements. While our Integrations team added several brand new restaurant software integrations to our ever growing integration list.

If you are only examining your traditional same-store sales metrics today, you are not getting an accurate picture of the market realities or your restaurant's real performance. During an inflationary period, sales increases can look good but can also be misleading, or worse, lull you into a false sense of security. To see performance clearly during times like these, you need to recalculate your sales growth to eliminate the beneficial effects of inflation.

Mirus CEO, Dave Bennett, will be presenting his thoughts on managing restaurants during a high inflationary period at the Restaurant Finance and Development Conference.

Twin Peaks is a sports bar with a lodge-like feel. Each of the 90 plus locations is covered in wall-to-wall TVs so you can catch every game, match or fight. They serve 29º draft beer in frosted mugs and scratch-made food. But the real reason many people visit Twin Peaks- is the Twin Peaks Girls (TPGs).

I had the opportunity to chat with Twin Peaks Senior Manager of Operations Analysis, Lizzy Wright,  to talk about how Mirus helps them increase sales through promo and event tracking. 

A Chicago icon,  Portillo's has been serving up fresh food since 1963.  They're known for their famous Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, chopped salad, cheese fries, homemade chocolate cake, and chocolate cake shake.

They've come a long way from the original Dog House trailer and now have over 70 locations in 9 states - Illinois, California, Florida, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa and Minnesota.

I had the opportunity to sit down (pre-Covid) with Portillo's Sr. Manager of Accounting and Reporting, Christine DeCicco, to talk about how Mirus helps them integrate their General Ledger (GL) reporting and speed up their reporting processes.
