Jobe

As I walk towards sa shop, of course, marami ako madadaanan na fastfood resto. Let's see what's the difference of these restaurants, Burger King, Jollibee, then yun malapit sa supermart, Chowking, Mang Inasal, and KFC. Nah, it's not the difference or cuisine of the food. The only difference? Siyempre, KFC lang ang di under sa Jollibee's ownership. Others, yes, even Burger King, under the umbrella of Jollibee..

Jobe? Short for jollibee. hehe As I call that bumbling bee mascot.. Ah not that former player of ADMU with that weird last name. hehe

Anyway, it is sad that kahit sa Food Industry, there is a monster that munches every restaurant that he sees. Like for example, Mang Inasal.. I don't know why the change of heart last year.. Because the resto has the potential na maging sobrang threat, with Chic-boy of course. hehe Pero yeah, with never ending expansion and great marketing at well, inasal barbeque, mukhang kakayanin yun Jollibee. Jollibee made some foods to at least fight yun inasal like chicken barbeque na napakapanget naman, di nagwork. Even the chickenjoy won't do so much as well..

Even Chowking and Greenwich can't stop yun inasal's menu..

The last option they did, well, buy the 70% stock of inasal's corporation and aha, sa kanila na ang Mang Inasal. Mautak din ang may ari nun Mang Inasal, he became rich which he can keep it for a lifetime. hehe Damn lucky.. Natawa na lang ako sa statement niya na they believed in Jollibee's vision, geez.. Vision of getting all of those small fast food restaurants, and under one control? Grabe, it's scary... Siguro yun big industries, like Telco, Power, pwede mag monopoly or oli kasi naman malaki ang capital and it's not easy to set it up. Entrep is not possible and easy for big industries.

Unlike siyempre sa foods, anybody can set up, kahit si Kuya nga nakaset up siya dati, although di nagwork ng matagal. Ibig ko sabihin, there is entrep spirit na possible.. Kaso etong si Jollibee eh talagang determined to get all kinds of food business. One reason I can think bakit sila nag ganun? At the time they listed themselves sa PSE, and of course, you cannot rely so much at your yum burgers and chickenjoy to raise capital. It may take forever. hehe

Like other big companies, especially ones listed sa stock exchange, you need to be creative on how to raise capital. Since pagkain sila, and they know how to run a food business, yun na.. Buy and buy ng mga small companies.. From Mang Jose ata yun pangalan, Red Ribbon, Chowking, Greenwich, even Cafe France and lastly, and recently.. Most shocking.. Burger King. Damn..

Like I said before, pag may hawak nila, expect yun quality and service, di balance. Burger King before, siyempre sila nagsimula nun unli drinks and kahit medyo mahal, diyos ko naman, mas masarap naman kumain dun even in almost all burger menu.. Although kagabi, wala pang jollibee effect yun BK.. Pero yes, masarap pa din. Sulit kahit mahal. hehe Pagtiyagaan ko na lang yun, kaysa sa champ.

For me, nakakatakot ginagawa nila, but they can't be stop, kahit sa China, they get some fast food restaurants na din.. Nakakatakot kasi kahit I mean, they help a lot sa economy pero yun entrep spirit in the food industry, parang mawawala. No other restaurants will definitely expand lalo kung nakaabang si Jollibee. hehe Especially they are not thinking of new ideas na. Mabuti pa yun fine dining restaurants steady lang pero natatakot din, malay mo, natrip din ni Jollibee ang fine dining industry, bili na. hahaha

They can't be stop, even our government, however, I hope, they will stop doing it kasi wala nang chance yun iba na gusto magtayo ng sariling fast food.. Although franchising is possible, pero well, if you want to be different and cater a different market, at salo lahat ng kita, eh mas mabuti magtayo ng sariling shop.

I just ate earlier sa jollibee, well, I enjoyed yun spag nila at yun bland yum nila. Without this figures or other factors, I can say, Jollibee alone is ok to me, pwedeng pagtiyagaan. Ganun talaga sa capitalism style of business environment.

Bumbling bee needs to get big!
