History

With its success, the company bought out their competitors in the fast food business like Chowking, Greenwich Pizza, Red Ribbon bakeshop, Mang Inasal and Burger King Philippines.[2] In 2011, JFC had a total of 2,510 stores worldwide with a system wide retail sales totaling to 82.1 billion pesos for the fiscal year 2011.[3]
The original owner Tony Tan and his family opened a Magnolia Ice Cream parlor in Cubao, Quezon city in 1975.[4][5] In 1978, he and his siblings engaged the services of a management consultant, Manuel C. Lumba, who shifted the business focus from ice cream to hot dogs after his studies showed a much larger market waiting to be served.[4] Lumba was Tan's last business and management mentor.
Throughout its three decade history, Jollibee became a success enjoying rapid growth. The chain opened successful milestone stores in the following years: Its 100th branch in Davao on 1991; its 200th store in Malolos, Bulacan in 1996; its 300th store inBalagtas, Bulacan in 1998; its 400th store in Intramuros, Manila in 2001; its 500th store in Basilan in 2004; its 600th store in Aparri in 2007;[5][6] its 700th store in Harrison Road, Baguio City in 2010;[7] and its 800th branch in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon on October 18, 2013.[8]

    Jollibee Case

    • 2212 Words
    • 9 Pages

    Jollibee was able to build its dominant position in fast food in the Philippines for a number of reasons. The company had its roots in the food industry in the Philippines early on with the ice cream business, so the entry barrier into fast food was very low. It was a smooth transition from being ice cream only to fast food after the oil crisis in 1977. This transition was also aided by using a recipe that was developed in the Philippines and was appealing to the markets that were serviced by Jollibee’s. This would eventually be a contributing factor in the competitive advantage Jollibee held over McDonald’s in it’s the Philippins. Jollibee also built itself around the solid foundation of the “Five F’s”. Friendliness, flavorful food, fun atmosphere, flexibility and focus on families summed up Jollibee’s philosophy and allowed for Jollibee to become a recognizable brand throughout the Philippines. The operations and marketing strategies employed by the company can be credited with establishing a dominant position through the previously mentioned actions.…

    Jollibee 's success in its home market developed as a result of its ability to better meet the needs of the Filipino customer. Although its success was mediated by the political and economic crises of 1983, Jollibee was still able to deliver a product that was both cheaper and better tasting than that of McDonald 's. The ability of Jollibee to adopt its menu to local tastes, as well as the "5 Fs" of its operations management are two organizational capabilities that led the company to develop a competitive advantage over McDonald 's.…

    Jollibee faced its first major form of competition in 1981 when McDonalds entered and quickly grabbed a 27% market share compared to Jollibee’s 32%.(Barlett, Bemish 2010) Jollibee capitalized on their only advantage, that the market preferred their spicy tasting burgers to McDonald’s plain beef patty, and with the economic and political crisis in August 1983 when a political opposition leader was assassinated, McDonald slowed its investment and Jollibee took the lead.

    The placement of Jollibee was very strategic. Placing it right on front of a school filled with students having a limited budget for food is a great decision. However, this Jollibee branch falls short in the time it is open as it closes at probably 10 or so at night. It gives McDonalds an advantage as they still have a market in the wee hours of the day. Jollibee’s website is very informative and is consistent with every branch so this would have a high rating.…
