I. INTRODUCTION
Jollibee is the Philippines' biggest fast-food restaurant, with over 1,400 branches.
Jollibee, a dominant market leader in the Philippines, has a larger share of the local market
than any of the other global fast-food chains combined. Jollibee serves great-tasting, high-
quality, and affordable food items, such as its superior-tasting Chickenjoy, mouth-watering
Yumburger, and deliciously satisfying Jolly Spaghetti, among many other delightful
products, with strict adherence to the highest levels of food quality, operation, and
cleanliness. With over 270 foreign branches in the United States, Canada, Hong Kong,
Macau, Brunei, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar,
Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Italy, and the United Kingdom, Jollibee has embarked on an
ambitious international expansion project.
Brief History
Jollibee started when Tony Tan Caktiong and his family opened a Magnolia Ice Cream
parlor from Bankerohan, Davao City to Cubao in 1975, they named it Jollibee. Manuel C.
Lumba, a management consultant, was hired by Caktiong and his brothers and sisters in
1978. After his research revealed that there was a wider demand waiting to be unleashed,
Lumba changed the company’s objective from ice cream to hamburgers. Caktiong's first
business and management coach was Lumba. Lumba then renamed Jolibe to Jolly Bee and
combined the two terms into a single name, Jollibee, by replacing the "y" with an "i." They
even sell hot meals and sandwiches. In 1978, they formed a corporation with seven branches
to test the feasibility of a hamburger idea.
Later on, the business that would revolutionize fast food in the Philippines was born. The
Jollibee mascot was influenced by children's books from both the Philippines and abroad.
Lumba then came up with the names "Yumburger" and "Chickenjoy" for his items. He
incorporated the corporation and rented a house on Main Street in Cubao, Quezon City as the
company's first headquarters. Lumba devised a long-term marketing plan that included a list
of customer ads and traffic-building strategies. Caktiong emphasized the importance of
building internal capabilities. The stores were remodeled, and the service was converted into
a full-service, drive-through fast-food operation. Caktiong and Lumba went on an
exploration tour of the United States shortly after, attending foodservice and equipment
conferences.
Jollibee achieved P500 million in profit in 1984, making it one of the Top 500 Philippine
Corporations. Jollibee was named to the country's Top 100 Corporations in 1987, after about
ten years in operation. In 1989, it became the first fast-food chain in the Philippines to crack
the P1 billion revenue mark. Jollibee was the first food service company to be listed on the
Philippine Stock Exchange in 1993, increasing its capitalization and paving the groundwork
for long-term growth both domestically and internationally. Jollibee has expanded
exponentially in all areas of business as the country's largest fast-food chain. Jollibee has
grown from a handful of stores 32 years ago to over 600 stores and over 50 international
locations.

following: Customer Focus, Speed with Excellence, Humility to Listen and Learn, Spirit of
Family and Fun, and Integrity. Jollibee's Mission is to serve great-tasting food, bringing the joy

Methodology
This chapter will further discuss how the research is designed and undertaken, given that
the researchers adopted a framework to distinguish reliable and viable data accordingly. Through
the acquired data, the group recognizes suitable procedural plans that validly supported the
concept of analyzing and evaluating the performance of the Jollibee group and companies that
distinguish significant aspects relatively affecting the business. The following framework is
assessed objectively, accurately, and economically.
Research Design
Since Jollibee Foods Corporation is a service type of business that caters to serve
different consumers a day, the researchers were able to develop a constructive and informative
way of analyzing and assessing the company's overall performance by using qualitative and
quantitative methods. This approach allows the group to critique and for the decision-makers to
be guided on the appropriate alternatives to be implemented within the establishment.
The qualitative method would provide the researchers with a broader perspective based
on the consumer's experiences or the services being offered if they were able to meet the
company's standard services or could be the facilities themselves. This method would also
provide a comprehending analysis of Jollibee's food products' affordability to connect the
distinctiveness of the mentioned factor. In order to obtain a qualitative summary from the
customer's perspective, a set of well-structured questionnaires or surveys are distributed
according to the consumer's demographic profile with their assessment of the overall
performance of the fast-food restaurant. The researchers were able to adopt the quantitative
historical research that allows the group and the decision-makers to analyze and discuss its past
and present records for the possible solutions with its occurring issues and problems.
The audited financial statements of Jollibee Foods Corporation over the previous years
will project the company's performance in terms of its financial stability for the next five years.
An approach used by the group in understanding the nature itself of the company's internal and
external research is the SWOT and TOWS Analysis method. This analysis would better
understand the company's strategic choices and other alternatives, identifying its strengths and
weaknesses for the internal and opportunities and threats for the external. Another is the Trend
Analysis, which describes the external factor of the company in terms of political,
environmental, socio-cultural, technological, economic, and legal aspects, which will be another
basis for the group to assess its forecasted financial statements. The financial data could suffice
as the foundation for the researchers to accordingly forecast the incorporating aforementioned.
Sources of Information
The data used for this research were obtained from the financial statements of Jollibee
Foods and Corporation, which assesses its data credibility based on its former records. It
provided the researcher's further information about the company's previous and current
performances, various strategies used for the consumers' evolving needs, their coping
mechanisms, and their approach towards the industry's competitiveness. The group applies
various approaches to understanding the statistics or financial data acquired and its impact on the
company's overall performance. Apart from the primary source, the researchers distinguished
another form of acquiring data which is the secondary source. It involves wisely using the
available sources on the web, supporting the conceptual ideas from the various methods of
analyzing the current state of Jollibee Foods and Corporation, from the provided financial data in
their official web page, and analytically evaluating its significance on the fast-food chain
industry.
The researchers gathered various sources and references in constructing the following
frameworks on how it gradually influences other aspects in drawing the attention of their target
consumers. Hence, the group considers the following criteria of using available data that would
best support the study. It is authentic how published information is extremely attractive
significantly when it is relatively associated with the approach, in which the researchers
appropriately assess the collection of amounting data itself. Carefully links the available sources
on both primary and secondary sources and organizes a voluminous amount of data.
Major assumption
It is foreseen that the company will continue to operate near in the future, wherein the
company has this ability to expand more branches or businesses worldwide, offering a multi-
product. The quality of their offered products or menu has been part of their services since the
beginning, and it is observed that there are still existing lapses that need to carry out to compete
with its competitors. Attracting their consumers' attention by evolving the company's procedures
in meeting the sanitation standards-based from the authorities in order for the customers to feel
safe and at ease, considering their methods are appropriately executed.
Jollibee Foods Corporation continues to create lasting and memorable moments with
family and friends as it shares the joy of eating locally and worldwide. With its store network
exponentially growing in numbers, JFC has set its sight in bigger dreams for future expansion,
seizes an objective of putting up each brand in interesting key locations across the globe to
delight the diverse palates of the international market. Visualizing this aspiration with artistic
renderings, JFC shares its imagination and bold dreams towards its bright to a greater future.
Competition among brands under the fast-food chain industry will more likely grow, and it is
expected to grow in terms of sales at the end of the operations.
Jollibee has been around since 1975 and they have always been true to their mission and
vision statement as well as their core values and objectives as they continue to rise as a quick-
service restaurant. Through these, the company is guided towards its goal as a whole.
A. JOLLIBEE’S VISION, MISSION, CORE VALUES, AND OBJECTIVES

OBJECTIVES
Jollibee Foods Corporation’s core business is the development, operation, and franchising
of its quick-service restaurant brands. It offers a wide variety of affordable and delicious dishes
and great tasting food prepared to satisfy customers of all ages and from all walks of life.
Maintain food quality, service, price-value relationship, store location, and ambiance, and
efficient operations continue to be critical elements of the Company’s success in the quick-
service restaurant industry.
Vision
The company's vision reveals the company's operating ideologies; which became a guide
to the company’s way of service towards the people specifically targeting families. It is also
followed to help them be one of the top 5 restaurant companies in the world.
They are one of the biggest food chain company in the world according to Laura Mullan
of fooddigital.com, with regards to David’s framework it could be seen that the vision indicates
all the major steps that have to be met during the process of operation, illustrates that the process
is a continuous activity.
Mission
The company’s mission statement only states that they would “serve great tasting food,
bringing the joy of eating to everyone”. The one sentenced mission targets a lot from David’s
framework on its components of making the mission statement of a company. It targeted how
customers would be treated, it told of how they would provide products and services, and to
whom they would provide services, it shows their philosophy as a company, self-concept, and
their concern for the public image by wanting to cater to all. Although there are a few from the
eight components missing such as how they would deal with the fast-changing technological
world of today, their concern for survival growth, and profitability of the company.
A. General Environment
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
In the East Asia Pacific region, the Philippines is among the most growing economies. However,
the COVID-19 pandemic has a negative impact on the country's development outlook in 2020.
To protect the most vulnerable members of society and cushion against health and economic
disruptions, timely interventions are vital. (World Bank Philippines, 2021)
Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) owns and operates the Philippines' largest chain of fast-food
restaurants, and it relies on a consistent supply of raw materials, such as fruits, cereals, and
animal products, in vast amounts and at reasonable prices. However, the national headline
inflation rate increased to 4.7 percent in February 2021, up from 4.2 percent in January 2021.
This is the fastest rate of inflation since January of last year. Food inflation increased to 7.0
percent in February 2021, increasing from 6.6 percent the previous month. Inflation in the food
sector was 2.1 percent in February 2020. Over the month of March, the meat index continued to
rise, with its annual rate up to 20.7 percent. Fish had a 5.1 percent annual increase, oils and fats
had a 3.3 percent increase, and food items not otherwise listed had a 4.6 percent increase. (PSA,
2021)
The number of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who worked abroad at any time between
April and September 2019 was projected to be 2.2 million, according to the findings of the 2019
Survey on Overseas Filipinos (PSA, 2020). This aids the international expansion of local fast-
food chains for Filipino employment.
According to Philstocks, confidence would rise if the coronavirus pandemic in the world was
properly controlled and vaccinations were quickly implemented. The stock market is forecast to
end the year between 7,150 and 7,750 points (Philstocks Financial Inc., 2021), with corporate
earnings per share (EPS) expected to rise by 20 to 30%. The continued rise in Covid-19 cases,
the reversion to stricter quarantine policies, the slow pace of economic growth, and that inflation,
all pose risks to the sector.
The increase in value-conscious customers eager to try new restaurants with a wide variety of
menu choices, including interesting foreign and local cuisines, as well as restaurants that appeal
to increasingly busy lifestyles, is driving the foodservice industry in the Philippines. According
to research conducted by the National Statistics Office's Family Income and Expenditures
Survey (FIES) in 2017-18, a middle-income household will spend 20% of its food budget on
eating out.
According to a survey conducted by Rakuten Insight in the Philippines, due to the forced closure
of all restaurants during the COVID-19 pandemic as of June 2020, 71 percent of respondents
reported that they are ordering more from food delivery services. Only 4% of those polled said
they ordered food online because they couldn't cook. The rise of food delivery apps is also due to
people that are being driven into food app delivery in an attempt to avoid crowded
places/establishments in order to avoid contracting the deadly COVID-19 virus.
Over the forecast period, food truck markets are expected to continue operating in the
Philippines. Due to the comparatively low investment needed, more capitalists are likely to be
drawn to investing in food trucks. Also, because of the unique experiences that food truck
markets offer, customers are likely to be drawn by them. These are expected to be popular
destinations, especially among food bloggers and young adults who enjoy going on food
adventures with their friends and photographing unique foods and places of interest.
The price of a good or service will have a big impact on whether people will buy it or not, and if
they do, which competitor they want. In terms of product pricing, a traditional Filipino would
always purchase items that they want as long as they are within their budget. With Jollibee’s
affordable prices of foods and the good quality of their products, many people love it and keep
coming back for it.
As Asia's economy has grown, local appetites have shifted away from staple grains or towards
poultry, fish, and other foods. According to a research study the "Philippines Food and Drinks
Market: Emerging Opportunities," the increase in demand for healthy food and beverages was
due to the huge young affluent population, the rise of disposable income, and the customer
perception of health and safety issues. When they began to pay more attention to their food
intake, the Filipinos began to consider themselves as health and well-being-minded.
TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS
Internet retailing is likely to keep expanding significantly over the projected era, as more
Filipinos are attracted to the method by the convenience, broad range of items, and enticing
discounts that retailers will continue to offer. More payment options will be made available in
order to allow more people to buy online, like innovations such as cash/credit card purchases of
food deliveries to different locations.
According to research firms Hootsuite and We Are Social’s Digital 2021 Global Overview
Report, the Philippines has maintained its position as the country with the world's longest
internet usage, with an average of 10 hours and 56 minutes a day compared to the global average
of 6 hours and 54 minutes. According to the same survey, Filipinos also spend an average of 4
hours and 15 minutes a day on social media. People need safety and security as a result of the
pandemic's rapid dissemination of disinformation and uncertainty. Businesses have an important
role to play in promoting security and trust. Their social media accounts should echo a positive
and ambitious brand message for their customers.
ECOLOGICAL ASPECTS
Environmentally sustainable business practices help you minimize the greenhouse effect and
protect natural resources. Your company can improve the world in a variety of ways. Companies
can use items that minimize their dependence on natural resources (like rainwater tanks and solar
hot water systems), as well as recycled-material products (like office supplies made from
recycled plastic, furniture made from recycled rubber). Making a company more
environmentally friendly is not only good for the environment, but it could also save you money.
Supply chain breakdowns, foreign trade issues, and employee protection have been competing
priorities for industries such as food, beverage, and agriculture sectors in 2020. As per decision-
makers, environmental risks outclass operational issues in such industries around the world.
Food, beverage, and agriculture sectors have also begun taking steps to spur a green recovery;
with 55 percent of business leaders surveyed showing increased levels of investment in
environmental sustainability.
The Philippines' agricultural sector is extremely vulnerable to severe weather events like
typhoons, and heavy rainfall affects crop yields, thus produce prices inevitably rise – aggravated
by merchants who raise prices excessively. As JFC relies on a consistent supply of raw materials,
such as fruits, cereals, and animal products, prices could be varied by the availability of supplies.
After a brief background of the current state of Jollibee, the group is able to determine Jollibee's
competitive power in the foodservice industry. The five forces by Porter shall be then strongly
considered. The following are:
● Rivalry Among Existing Competitors –High
Jollibee’s rivalry among existing competitors is high due to the numerous stable brands
competing in the industry, leaving the consumers many alternatives to purchase or avail the
foodservice. It has minimal product differentiation, which means that the products or services
they offer have a lot in common together with other brands. Another, the prices they offer are
not that far from other competitors. Through the supporting details, Jollibee Foods and
Corporation has a high rivalry among its existing competitors. But at the same time, it has a
strong competitive edge since the company continues to expand through buying various existing
fast-food chains such as Greenwich, Chowking, Red Ribbon, Mang Inasal, Burger King and
many more.
Jollibee's threat of new entrants is moderate. Although this fast-food chain is well-known
and prestigious in the Philippines or even worldwide, making it a profitable business. However,
it is considered a medium due to its evident increase of new arising brands or food corporations
that offer similar food products and services towards consumers like the McDonald’s
Corporation. Given that many rising competitors are also widely spreading in the Philippines,
which may have a chance to be a competitive threat to Jollibee Foods and Corporation.
Jollibee's bargaining power of suppliers is high due to its number of suppliers who can
readily make supply available in the industry. Meaning the size of suppliers for JFC is abundant.
Another, since Jollibee is a vast and famous brand in the fast-food chain business, especially in
the Philippines, making it famous to many consumers. Therefore, the Importance of Jollibee to
the Supplier's Profit is very high due to the competitive state of Jollibee even nationwide. There
are high purchases of supply that are said to be very significant to the supplier.
Jollibee's threat of substitute products is High, although JFC is one of the most
dominating brands in the industry. Still, again due to its various competitors such as Mcdonald's,
K.F.C., Wendy's, Burger King, and Chow King (Direct Competitors) and Reyes Barbeque,
Andoks, Mang Inasal (Indirect Competitors) for instance, this poses a threat to the company due
to its high level of substituting available products. In this case, consumers have immense options
to weigh and purchase other products or brands as their substitutes, which are considered a
barrier to the JFC's perspective. Another, there is a relative pricing performance of other
competitors, which is indeed not far from their offered products and services. Therefore, Jollibee
has high chances of facing threats given its available substitutes in the country.
Jollibee's bargaining power of buyers is high, considering that JFC has a massive number
of consumers where it plays a significant aspect in its competitive structure since they are the
primary source of business profitability. The company is ensuring that prices are affordable
without compromising their quality and adapting to consumer's demand. Thus, sometimes these
consumers become a little picky in choosing their preferred brands wherein, there is a high
ability to substitute the product, making them available to shift brands aside from Jollibee. Its
low switching cost makes their products or services replicable and comparable to other
competitors, making them, again, prone to switching, making the bargaining power of buyers
high.
2. Competitors Profile
The fast-food chain industry is evidently very competitive in the market. More likely,
they face international players who have already substantial financial support. The industry faces
low margins and experiences profits as well based on the economic scale. And most of the
competitors are applying different strategies that attract potential consumers or traffic in the
market.
The operation of Jollibee Foods and corporation is more likely affected due to the
existing barriers or factors that contribute to the advantages of other competitors, such as the
threat of substitute products, low switching cost, and others. The existing companies in the
industry are also developing and adapting new schemes to compete with Jollibee, as it highlights
the strategy of expanding the brand, which motivates their competitors to seek improvements.
The mentioned companies above are direct competitors of Jollibee Foods and
Corporation. McDonald's is on the top list and is recognized as a well-known fast-food chain in
the industry, expanding globally and generating 21.4% of market share for the year 2020.
McDonald also has a considerable lead that makes Jollibee want to compete due to its similarity
in product differentiation. Another, the brand KFC was valued at just over 5.1 billion U.S.
dollars, down from the previous year's total of 5.51 billion U.S. dollars. It used to serve the same
menu worldwide, which means that it was using an undifferentiated targeting strategy. There are
very few outlets that serve anything vegetarian. But when it comes to non-vegetarian, KFC is
just superb. Lastly, Burger King generated approximately 1.6 billion U.S. dollars in revenue
during the 2020 financial year. It shows a 10% decrease over the previous year's total of 1.78
billion U.S. dollars. Due to various local, national and international fast-food chains, it is
becoming difficult for the company to increase its customer. It is famous for innovative products
such as Hamburger, Whopper and others which is helping the company to increase its market
share. Generally, the existing competitor increases its strategy on various aspects of the business
to increase their opportunity to be the preferred brand by many competitors.
Critical Success Factor Weight Rating score Rating score Rating score Rating score
The following are the chosen critical success factors which the group recognizes which
area must be performing at the highest possible level, namely Product Quality, Customer
Loyalty, Price Competitiveness, Advertising, Global Expansion, Service and Store Location. The
group rated how the companies are doing well in the following factors; ranging from 4 as the
major strength to 1 as the major weakness. The ratings are subjectively assigned to each
company which involves the approach of benchmarking, wherein the group reveals a comparison
to other competitors in the industry.
The table shows that in terms of the overall Critical Success Factor, Jollibee is relatively
doing better compared to its other competitors. Wherein, McDonald comes in second, KFC in
third place, and Burger King placing as the last among the groups. It means that Jollibee Foods
and Corporation were able to meet its capacity to satisfy consumers' needs, provide positive
emotional experiences, offer reasonable prices, reach their intended markets, customer service,
and others, which plays a significant role in performing their business in the industry.
OPPORTUNITIES THREATS

OPPORTUNITIES
TOTAL: 1 3.4
Therefore, the most important external factors for Jollibee Foods Corporation are the
Filipino consumer preference towards value-for-money goods and services which had the
weighted score of 0.48 and the rampant use of social networking in the Philippines that has a

different social networking sites and they have been proven to be in favor of the taste of the
Filipino people with a low price for their products.
The overall weighted score of Jollibee Foods Corporation is 3.4 which is considered
above average. This will imply that the company is aggressively pursuing opportunities and
responding to challenges from the threats given by the environment.
V. INTERNAL/COMPANY ANALYSIS
Jollibee Foods Corporation has continued to grow its business for the past three years,
with sales revenue growth of 20.65% in 2018 and 15.57% in 2017. COGS also grew by 22.06%
in 2018 and 15.93% in 2017. Moreover, gross profit has also increased by 14.16 percent and
13.92 in 2018 and 2017, respectively.
2. Financial Ratios
Financial Ratio analysis is a useful tool that helps the management analyze financial data
on the company’s financial statements to evaluate the financial condition and performance of the
company.
Liquidity Ratios
Current ratio measures the company’s ability to settle short-term liabilities using its
current assets or assets that can be easily converted to cash within a year. A current ratio of
above 1 indicates that the company has enough current funds to pay off its short-term
obligations. JFC maintained good current ratios for the past three years, its lowest 1.25x in 2018
compared to 1.39x in 2017 and 1.27x in 2016.
Quick ratio is almost similar to the current ratio, except that it does not include the
inventory in taking quick assets to use to extinguish current liabilities. A ratio of 1 is considered
normal; it indicates that the company has sufficient assets that can be quickly liquidated to pay
off its current obligations. JFC reported .99x in 2018, a decline from 1.13x in 2017.
Profitability Ratios
Gross Profit Margin (GPM) is a measure of profitability that shows the percentage of
sales revenue that remains after it covers the cost of goods sold. It indicates the efficiency of the
company in handling its operations. JFC’s gross profit margin for the past three years has
declined as it diversified its revenue base with more brands and higher store outlets overseas. It
posted 18.16% in 2016, 17.90% in 2017 and, down again to 16.94% in 2018.
Operating Profit Margin (OPM) shows the proportion of the profit which the company
generates from its operations after deducting the cost of goods sold and operating expenses.
JFC's OPM has also declined from 5.59% in 2016 to 4.99% in 2017 and 4.85% in 2018.
Like GPM and OPM, the company’s net profit margin has also decreased for the last
three years. In 2016 it generated 5.24%, down to 4.99% in 2017 and down to 4.82% in 2018. Net
profit margin is the portion of revenue after deducting all expenses. It is calculated by dividing
the net profit by revenue.
Return on Assets (ROA) indicates how efficient a company’s management is at using its
assets to generate net income. Looking at the data above, JFC’s ROA has experienced a
downtrend from 8.32% in 2016 to 7.43% in 2017 and 6.83% in 2018. Return on Equity (ROE)
which shows how efficient the company’s management in generating income from utilizing
shareholder’s investments, is also on the downtrend for the past three years from 17.66% in
2016, down to 15.67% in 2017 and, a slight decrease to 15.57 % in 2018.
Leverage Ratios
One of the commonly used leverage ratios is the Debt to Equity Ratio. It measures the
company’s financial leverage. It shows the extent to which a company is financing its operations
through debt versus shareholder’s equity. A ratio of less than 1.0 is considered less risky than
companies having greater than 1.0. Over the past three years, JFC’s debt is higher than its equity
posting ratios at 1.12x, 1.11x, and 1.28x in 2016, 2017, and 2018 respectively.
Whereas, debt to assets ratio measures the degree of debt relative to the company’s
assets. From the above table, JFC posted a lower than 1 ratio (.53x, 53x, 56x) for the last three
years which means the company has more assets than liabilities. The data shows that the
company has maintained the debt to asset level at 53% to 56%.
Activity Ratios
Inventory Turnover Ratio(ITR) shows how many times a company has sold and
replenished inventory during a period. A faster ratio implies strong sales. ITR in 2017 of 16.05x
is higher compared to 15.80x in 2016 and 15.19x in 2018.
Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) measures the average number of days it takes for a
company to collect payment for credit sales. From the data below, the company is averaging 10
days to collect its account receivables from 2016 to 2018.

company.
IFE MATRIX
STRENGTHS
WEAKNESSES
TOTAL 1 - 3.09
Based on the IFE matrix, the most important factor for Jollibee is the strong brand
advertising, which has a weighted score of 0.48. They focused on this because this will greatly
affect their profit and image. They used different platforms such as commercials on televisions
and radio, as well as various social media sites. Jollibee is also being advertised by famous
celebrities which encourages people to try their products. They also have different stories of the
experiences of people and families that became united and happier after eating meals from
Jollibee. They put a big emphasis on families eating together at Jollibee which is one of the traits
of us Filipinos, we enjoy eating together and bonding with our loved ones.
The overall weighted score of Jollibee is 3.09, this is considered high. This shows that
Jollibee is working hard to adapt to the new normal and figuring out how to respond to the
challenges their company is facing.
E. Summary and Conclusion
Jollibee is not as well-known outside of the Philippines as other fast food chains. The business
has vulnerability when it comes to potential competitors and earnings. The most important factor
for Jollibee is about strong brand advertising in which the weighted score is 0.48. In terms of
sales, Adeva said JFC considers it a "bonus" that the global effect of Kwentong Jollibee has
people queuing up to eat not only at Jollibee's 1,000+ stores across the Philippines, but also at
Jollibee's nearly 200 stores outside the region. For every Kwentong Jollibee they produce, they
look at engagement as an indication of how powerful the storytelling was and how relatable their
materials are to our publics. On the other hand, one factor that hinder Jollibee’s Productivity is
the health conscious people in which the weighted score is 0.16 since people are becoming
increasingly aware of their lifestyle choices; they search out nutritious foods; some exercise
regularly and convert to vegetarianism; and many children, as well as adults, are now obese. This
will present a challenge for Jollibee in terms of how they will respond to changing consumer
demand.

In the next three to five years, Jollibee Foods Corporation would have achieved the following
objectives.
Financial Objectives:
Strategic objectives: These should define the major strategic thrust of the company. The
strategic objectives should consider the following:
1. To be a strong and unmatchable Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) competitor with rivals
such as Mcdonalds in 4 years time.
2. Develop a strong and stable brand image outside of the Philippines in terms of
development, operation, and franchising specifically in North America, Vietnam and
China.
3. Lessen turnover rates
4. Create a strong and flexible contingency plan to address economical, technological and
ecological constraints or challenges.
B. Recommended Business Strategies
Operational excellence
The company used prefabricated material to construct stores, thus saving a substantial amount of
time and money.
At Jollibee, customer service was given a lot of importance. In fact, customer service was one of
the key result areas (KRAs) on which employees were evaluated at the company. The
importance given to this issue was also reflected in the company's corporate mission and vision
statements.The company advertised extensively through the print as well as the electronic media.
While the national-level campaigns were handled centrally, local promotions were managed and
implemented by individual stores.
At Jollibee, employees received extensive training so that they could learn the corporate values
of integrity and humility. The company reportedly had a 'family-like' atmosphere at work, which
gave the employees a sense of belonging and togetherness.
Almost half of Jollibee's stores in the Philippines were franchised. The company gave special
attention to the selection of franchising partners. According to company sources, all prospective
partners were evaluated on their standing the community, their leadership and people-handling
skills, their willingness to devote time to the management of the restaurant, and their successful
completion of the training program [much before the outlets became operational, franchises were
given training under a Basic Operations Training Program (BOTP)].
The BCG Growth Share Matrix is a portfolio-planning model established in the 1970s
based on the observation that a company's business segment can be divided into four
groups based on combinations of market growth and market share relative to the largest
competitor, hence the term "growth-share." (Netmba.com, n.d.)
