Resumen
En el Perú, más del 70 % de los establecimientos de alimentos y bebidas opera de
forma informal y con baja digitalización (Leasein, 2021), lo que limita su rentabilidad, eleva
los riesgos sanitarios y restringe la generación de empleo formal. Mikuna surge como una
plataforma digital, desarrollada como un intraemprendimiento de Frionox S.A.C., que integra
capacitación, herramientas de gestión (finanzas, RR.HH., inventarios) y un listado de
proveedores certificados, respondiendo a la necesidad de profesionalizar a los pequeños
restaurantes de manera simple y asequible.
El problema y la propuesta fueron validados mediante 25 pruebas de usabilidad y 45
encuestas a propietarios de restaurantes, donde el 78 % percibió alto valor y el 82 % mostró
disposición de pago por el plan premium (S/ 29,90). Asimismo, el modelo de adquisición
resulta eficiente: el ratio VTVC/CAC alcanza un promedio de 7.19, y en el 97.3 % de los
casos se superó el umbral mínimo de rentabilidad (VTVC/CAC > 3).
Con un enfoque freemium, Mikuna proyecta captar 9 000 clientes el primer año,
duplicando esta cifra hacia el quinto, con ventas anuales que crecen de S/ 1,07 millones a S/
3,23 millones. El negocio ofrece un VAN económico de S/ 2,639,042.47 y una TIR de 202.08
%, con una inversión inicial de S/ 344,412.50, estructurada en partes iguales entre préstamo
bancario y patrimonio. La infraestructura cloud permite escalar regionalmente sin elevar
significativamente los costos fijos. Desde una perspectiva social, Mikuna contribuye
directamente con los ODS 8 y 12 al impulsar la formalización, reducir desperdicios y
optimizar recursos. Su VAN social asciende a S/ 5,192,749.15 (US$ 1,384,733.11). El
despliegue se ejecutará en cinco fases a lo largo de ocho meses, apalancándose en alianzas ya
cerradas con proveedores, la sinergia con la línea de equipos de Frionox y los cursos
diseñados para elevar el estándar profesional del sector.
In Peru, more than 70% of food and beverage establishments operate informally and with low levels of digitalization (Leasein, 2021), which limits their profitability, increases sanitary risks, and restricts the generation of formal employment. Mikuna emerges as a digital platform developed as an intrapreneurial initiative of Frionox S.A.C., integrating training, management tools (finance, HR, inventory), and a directory of certified suppliers— addressing the need to professionalize small restaurants in a simple and affordable way. The problem and the solution were validated through 25 usability tests and 45 surveys with restaurant owners, where 78% perceived high value and 82% expressed willingness to pay for the premium plan (S/ 29.90). Likewise, the simulated LTV/CAC ratio averaged 7.19, with 97.3% of users exceeding the efficiency threshold (LTV/CAC > 3), confirming an effective and profitable acquisition model. With a freemium approach, the platform aims to attract 9,000 customers in the first year, doubling that number by year five, with projected annual revenues growing from S/ 1.07 million to S/ 3.23 million. The project shows a strong financial performance, with a Net Present Value (NPV) of S/ 2.64 million and an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 202.08%, based on a balanced capital structure: 50% bank loan and 50% equity. Additionally, its cloudbased infrastructure supports regional scalability without significant increases in fixed costs. From a social perspective, Mikuna directly contributes to SDGs 8 and 12 by promoting formalization, reducing waste, and improving energy efficiency. Its social NPV reaches S/ 5.19 million (equivalent to US$ 1.38 million). The development will be carried out in five deployment phases over eight months, leveraging existing partnerships with suppliers, synergies with Frionox’s equipment sales, and training programs to professionalize restaurants.
