Maicilocos

Story

Our company emerged with Ivett and Ashley as members of the team, for the sale we wanted a product that was easy to prepare and find, so Ashley came up with the idea that selling prepared maicitos, at first it would only be with pepini, chili and lemon, but we wanted to do something a little more innovative and that would have different textures and flavors so that customers would have a better experience when purchasing our product.

Then we were faced with choosing the name, which was actually quite an easy task since we took as a reference the name of a product similar to ours “tostilocos” and only added “maici” instead of “tosti” and we ended up “ Maicilocos”.

Then we realized that we should have something distinctive about the business and that would attract attention, since we offer a snack and not a main meal, therefore we were in second place in demand, so Ivett had the idea of ​​making a botarga in the form of a little corn and thus it will be a little clearer what the main ingredient is.

During the development of the project we encountered certain obstacles, since there was a lack of communication within the team, but in the end everything was solved.

At the time of making the first sale at the school we felt a little disappointed, since we did not have any clients and half of the recess had already passed, but about 10 minutes before it ended, the clients began to arrive, At first there were only five and we weren't satisfied with that, however out of nowhere more people began to arrive and we got a bit saturated, since we didn't expect that response.

Another thing that happened to us was that in that same sale we made a mistake when preparing the product, since we gave very large portions for the price at which we were selling it and all the merchandise was sold out.

In one of the foreign sales, it happened to us that a small child without us realizing it left without paying and in a few minutes the same child returned, but now with his mother apologizing for her son and he paid us, but we only we took it in the best way, since the boy was very nice.
