distribution of safe and high- quality food in the most cost-efficient manner is made
possible.
There are three Commissary System sites: Santolan, Pasig City; Mandaue City,
Cebu; and the central site in Canlubang, Laguna. The System, which operates 24/7,
and is the distribution center for North Manila and North Luzon. In 1996, Jollibee opened
the Vismin Foods Corporation (VFC) in Mandaue City, Cebu to service the Visayas and
Mindanao areas. VFC has its own bread, pie, sauce, and frozen patty lines.
The Laguna commissary is the biggest and most advanced in the country and
among Asia’s best. Operated by Zenith Foods Corporation (ZFC), a full subsidiary of
Park. Aided by custom-made mechanized equipment, the production lines are for the
marinated Chicken Joy, frozen patties and pies, breads, sauces, hotdogs and other meat
products, and dry blended goods. ZFC can service over 800 Jollibee and Greenwich
stores.
The chicken marination line can produce as many as 150,000 pieces a day while
about 480,000 hamburger patties a day is turned out by the frozen patty line. The
breadline is designed to match the volume output of patties, i.e. also about 480,000 pieces
a day. The pie line can produce as much as 157,000 pocket pies in a 20-hour operating
day. Currently, pies are exported to Jollibee stores in Hong Kong, Guam, Saipan, Brunei,
and the USA. Various sauce products are processed in the ZFC sauceline including those

Proof of Jollibee’s adherence to high quality standards is the various awards it

Foundation project results in happier, more capable people able to forge a better quality
life for themselves and those around them, then the Foundation has truly jollified the
community.
Jollibee’s social commitment went further when it embarked on projects with Habitat For
Humanity Philippines and Give-A-Life Charity Foundation. It also launched its own
meaningful programs such as “Sabi ng Jollibee, Kaya Mo Kid!”, “MaAga ang Pasko”,
Pabahay Pambuhay, a poverty housing project initiated by the JFC Group for Habitat.
Under this project, employees volunteered to act as fund-raisers and promoters. In a sign
of solidarity, senior executives and employees worked side by side with beneficiary
families in building Habitat Houses. This fulfilling experience has led the Jollibee group
into assuring Habitat of its continued support, making a long-term commitment to help
build not only homes, but also hope for a better life.
With the “Sabi ng Jollibee, Kaya Mo Kid!”, JFC realized its corporate thrust of
developing the potentials of children through an inspiring public service program that
promotes positive values and creativity. The art-oriented campaign won for itself the
coveted Grand Anvil Award from the Public Relations Society of the Philippines. The

Promotion
Jollibee’s promotion is very effective to their entire valued customer wherein they
used to patronize their company through strong marketing or promotion, like media
One of their promotions is that they have created a show about Jollibee that was
aired last March 26, 2008, a children's television program called "Jollitown" was
launched by Jollibee. The timing was chosen to highlight Jollibee’s 30th anniversary.
Jollibee's main mascot (also called Jollibee) and its backup mascots Yum, Hetty, Popo
and Twirlie are the stars of the show, which airs Sundays, 9:30 to 10 a.m., on GMA
Network. A new Season premiere of Jollitown will be aired on April 19, 2009 telecast on
GMA 7. In this kind of promotion they’ve made a great opportunity to advertise their
company and to catch their customers’ idea that having a great fun in having good food
could make them satisfy. Media advertising on the other hand helps the company to
promote their products and services they could provide to their customers.

two things: (1) Retaining tight control over operations management, which allowed it to
price below its competitor and (2) Having the flexibility to cater to the tastes of its local
consumers.
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 both
cheaper and better tasted 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.
Tight operations management and the flexibility to adapt to local tastes increases
the wedge between customer willingness to pay and supplier opportunity cost. These
savings in cost are then passed onto the customer, who is also receiving a product that
better meets his or her needs. The ability of Jollibee to continue creating value for its
customers by leveraging these activities will be the key success factor for its international
expansion. The brand name at home was achieved also through some trade barriers that
