Mari's Treehouse Growth Story

Mari's Treehouse Story: A Dream Realized

In 2014, Mari founded Mari's Smoothie & Cafe, which quickly established itself as a specialty provider in the field.

Wanting to expand her business, Mari Kallio developed the idea for a restaurant that would cater to special dietary needs. This vision materialized in 2019 when Mari's Treehouse opened its doors in Tripla. The business became a family enterprise, with Mari and her children Emma and Jermu managing operations in close collaboration.

With success, Mari's Treehouse expanded to downtown Helsinki, to the second floor of Kämp Galleria, bringing along the same unique concept and warm service attitude.

Searching for a Versatile Service Partner

As the business grew, the family wanted to find a partner who would provide comprehensive and versatile services. Mari, Emma, and Jermu explored the market and defined their key criteria:

reliability of the provider,
domestic origin,
versatility of the POS system, and
the possibility to procure equipment through the same partner.

Daily, Mari's Treehouse serves 200-250 portions, and during busy lunch hours, queues extend outside. The POS system must therefore work seamlessly and quickly to efficiently process orders to the kitchen and deliver dishes to customers promptly.

Solteq – The Right Choice for a Partner

Mari's Treehouse chose Solteq, whose Commerce Cloud POS system perfectly met their needs. The versatile and domestic system, along with the possibility to procure equipment through the same partner, fulfilled the family's expectations. The implementation of the POS system went according to plan and on schedule.

Business Benefits: Efficiency and Fluidity

Mari's Treehouse appreciates Commerce Cloud's efficiency, particularly in kitchen workflow. The kitchen order system quickly and reliably transfers orders from the register to the kitchen, enabling dishes to be prepared rapidly for customers – or "guests," as they are called at Mari's Treehouse.

The POS system offers a convenient view of different payment methods and makes all necessary reports easily accessible. The accountant can be given system rights, eliminating the need for separate accounting transfers.

When the second restaurant opened in Kämp Galleria, it was natural to extend the use of Commerce Cloud there as well. Information for both restaurants is now easily available in the same system, saving time and effort.

Towards the Future

Mari's Treehouse is committed to utilizing Commerce Cloud's evolving features and continuing its growth. The family business has proven that realizing dreams and expanding business operations can be achieved with the support of the right partner.
