History
Mirchi and Mime was setup in March 2015, and the idea conceived by two serial entrepreneur-investors.
Functioning
Mirchi and Mime only employs people who are hearing- and speech-impaired. Diners are requested to place their orders by mimicking hand-gestures associated with a particular food item. Items in the food menu are accompanied with photos of these hand gestures. The food menu matrix, which lists all food items in a single page along with the images, was designed by Chaitanya Modak from Inhouse Design, who is an alumnus of India's National Institute of Design. The staff were trained by Dr. Reddy's Foundation.
