Mongo’s Gastro GmbH digitalizes accounting—and gains time, clarity and new freedom
Since 1998, Mongo’s Gastro GmbH has stood for a unique culinary experience. Across four locations—Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Essen, and Cologne—around 120 employees ensure that guests don’t just eat but also enjoy, discover, and experiment. Individuality, quality, and a vibrant atmosphere define the concept—both in the restaurant and increasingly behind the scenes.
Invoice processing prevents analysis and proactivity
Despite the modern food concept, accounting was stuck in the analog age. Invoices were processed manually—an enormous effort that had many disadvantages:
- Invoices disappeared or were received late
- Discount periods were missed
- Annual financial statements took too long
- Important resources were blocked
Strategic financial work was hardly possible. The accounting department was more concerned with searching, checking, and typing than with what actually mattered: overview, analysis, and development.
The future instead of the Stone Age: revolution in accounting
The implementation of cisbox has fundamentally changed the challenges faced by Mongo’s Gastro GmbH and freed up potential. The software enables the efficient and transparent management and posting of all invoices. “What is not in cisbox is not there,” says Wiebke Sagert from Mongo’s Gastro GmbH underlining the central role of the software in the company. The tax office has direct access to cisbox, thereby greatly simplifying the annual financial statements.
The cisbox solution offers Mongo’s Gastro GmbH the following advantages:
With the introduction of cisbox, a central platform that digitally maps all phases of the P2P process—from ordering to payment—was created. The most important advantages according to Philipp Münster:
- Saving time and conserving resources: the automation of processes greatly reduces manual effort. Today, Mongo’s Gastro GmbH saves around one full-time position—capacity that can now be put to better use
- Improved overview and cost savings: Centralized management of all invoices saves costs, enables quick access to important vouchers, and documents and makes the invoice workflow simple, efficient, and transparent.
- Simplified year-end financial statements: Direct access by the tax office to invoices stored and archived in cisbox speeds up the closing process, saves considerable time, and ensures audit compliance.
- Focus on strategic tasks: The accounting department can concentrate on more important tasks such as:
- Price monitoring
- More intensive review of relevant invoices
- Preparation of analyses as a basis for decisions
“We can no longer imagine a world without cisbox. The thought feels like going back to the Stone Age,” says Wiebke Sagert.
Conclusion and outlook: More digitalization, stronger future.
Mongo’s Gastro GmbH plans to further advance the digitalization and automation of work processes. Mongo’s is relying on the AI developments of cisbox and digital order management. If you would like to experience Mongo’s live, you can also make a digital reservation. Enjoy your meal!
