locations. There are many types of food catering services available. Mobile catering serves food
from a truck, cart or any other vehicle designed to serve food. The food is most often served at
outdoor events, the workplace, and busy downtown areas.
Catering services are often sold on a per-person basis. A catering proposal will usually
include rental arrival time, staff arrival time, bar open and close time, meal time and rental pick
up. Catering is an activity also on providing food and beverage for events. Caterers, which are
either independent vendors or individuals within a particular department of a facility (such as a

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURES
Local Literature and Researches
Food Services & Catering businesses are increasingly implementing quality assurance
programs based on HACCP principles and an important part of these activities is directed
towards cleaning validation. The main concern is the risk of product cross-contamination
resulting from a food preparation surface not being cleaned to a sufficiently high standard. Food
residue left behind after poor cleaning - often invisible to the naked eye - can form a breeding
ground for bacteria and cause food contamination. Food is a basic necessity. The industry which
deals with preparing food items/products refers to the food service industry. The food service
industry is and will always remain in high demand because of its genre. These industries include
restaurants, fast foods, school and hospital cafeterias, catering operations, food carts and food
trucks etc. Restaurants and fast foods mainly contribute to the food service industry. (3M Food
Safety, 2015)
The Philippines vibrant economic performance and the high consumer confidence in
2014 stimulated the growth of consumer foodservice. Dining out continues to become an
important aspect of Filipinos family bonding, relaxation, self-reward and indulgence. The
proliferation of more shopping centres and chained modern grocery retailing channels is helping
in the expansion of the industrys network of outlets. Meanwhile, value meals encouraged
consumers to dine out more often. The local consumer foodservice industry is expected to benefit
from the positive economic prospects over the forecast period. Euromonitor International
projects that the countrys real GDP is expected to experience annual growth of 5.8% from 2014
to 2018. This is expected to stimulate the trend towards dining out among middle-income and
12

more affluent consumers. Young professionals, as well as the families of OFWs (Overseas
Filipino Workers) in the Philippines will drive growth in transactions. (Euromonitor
International, November 2014)
As for employment in 2014, a total of 190,688 employees were employed in
Accommodation and Food Service Activities section. Figure 2 shows that 188,383 or 98.8
percent were paid employees while the remaining 2,305 (1.2%) were working owners and unpaid
workers. The total compensation paid by Accommodation and Food Service Activities amounted
to PHP23.7 billion, an equivalent of PHP125, 893 average annual compensation per paid
employee. By industry group, restaurants and mobile food service activities paid the highest
compensation to its employees amounting to PHP14.2 billion or 60.0 percent of the total. Short
term accommodation activities paid PHP8.9 billion or 37.7 percent. Those working in other
accommodation received a total compensation of PHP23.5 million or 0.1 percent of the total
compensation. (Euromonitor International, November 2014)
One of the things that the catering services noticed is that clients are becoming more and
more particular about the event design. Before, it was very simple. Just put tables, and chairs,
and flowers, and the client is happy. But now, they are seeing that their clients really have a
theme in mind when they acquire our services. They are particular with the food design, the
style, the tablecloth, the backdrop. Basically everything that affects the look and feel of the
event. So its important to keep this in mind and to provide these services also. Fast food
surpassed value growth in all consumer foodservice categories in 2014. Fast food continues to
attract more middle-income consumers with its wide range of highly-affordable products, quick
service, and clean and comfortable ambiance. The aggressive advertising campaigns of major
players, together with their promotional campaigns and focus on value-orientated dining
13

contributed to the increase in consumer demand. The opening up of shopping centres and other
retail locations in provincial areas provided fast food operators with high potential locations for
their newly-opened outlets. (Top 5 Catering Trends in 2011, Hizons Catering 2011)
Although 90% of our orders still require a buffet style catering, more customers are trying
out our plated or multi-course meals, which are serve to their guests. This is a more formal,
sophisticated approach to dining in events. Although it doesnt give that festive feeling that
buffets provide, the benefit of a plated service is that food can be more sophisticated and it also
gives room for better food aesthetics or design. Its basically a matter of quality over quantity.
Given that plated services require that we use better ingredients and the need to place a kitchen at
the venue to serve food, costs are usually 20% higher than your regular buffet catering service.
(Lynn Oliver 2000)
Like any successful business, the passion that we had from the beginning and the desire
to provide the best quality service possible, should never run out. At the end of the day, its really
about providing the greatest value we can offer to their customers. Catering Services keep in
mind that the events they are putting up weddings, corporate events, and childrens parties, are
significant milestones that inspire us to create memories our customers will never forget. (Top 5
Catering Trends in 2011, Hizons Catering 2011)
Foreign Literature and Researches
Catering industry includes companies that provide individual event-based food services.
These companies generally have equipment and vehicles to transport meals and snacks to events
or prepare food off-site. Banquet halls with catering staff are included in this industry. Examples
of events catered by establishments in this industry are graduation parties, wedding receptions,
14

business luncheons and trade shows. The US catering industry includes about 8,000 companies
with combined annual revenue of about $7 billion. No major companies dominate the industry,
which is highly fragmented: the top 50 companies account for less than 15 percent of industry
revenue. Many food service contractors, hotels, and restaurants cater events, but those businesses
are covered in separate industry profiles and are not included in the catering industry. Demand is
driven by corporate profits and consumer income. The profitability of individual companies
depends on cost controls and effective marketing. Large companies have advantages in offering
expanded services such as facilities management, room rental, and entertainment. Small
companies can compete effectively by serving small groups and offering personalized service.
The industry is labor-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is about $60,000. (Ibis World,
2014)
Major services include off-premises catering (food prepared away from the premises
where it's served) and on-premises catering (meals prepared and served at the same location),
each of which accounts for about one-third of industry revenue. Other services include alcohol
sales and facility rentals. A typical catering event starts with a consultation with a potential client
to assess the type of event, guest count, venue, and special food requests. The client may want
the caterer to also coordinate facility rental, flowers, entertainment, and photography. The caterer
produces a detailed proposal that includes the menu, beverages, a list of rental needs, special
requirements, and a detailed price quote. (Ibis World, 2014)
IBISWorlds Caterers market research report is a comprehensive guide to market size and
growth prospects. Our industry reports offer strategic industry analysis of the factors influencing
companies, including new product developments, economic, lifestyle and demographic
influences, distribution and supply chain factors and pricing issues. Full analysis accompanies
15

our data forecasts to illustrate how the market responds to emerging industry trends. (Ibis World,
2014)
With its high-growth days likely behind it, the restaurant industry continues to adapt to
the in-home entertaining trend while taking in-home meal share from food retailers. This
convergence signifies an increasingly competitive battleground for the catering dollar not only
among restaurants and food retailers, but also for caterers and HOTELS. Sustained growth will
require growing catering opportunity, primarily in the form of significant consumer life events.
(Ibis World, 2014)
A market size and forecast for the catering industry, including caterers, full-service
restaurants; limited-service restaurants, snack and non-alcoholic beverage establishments,
foodservice contractors, and hotels. Key factors to catering growth: travel, HOTELS AND
accommodations, and holiday party spending Trended consumer catering expenditures by
demographic. Catering trends within the institutional foodservice category, with a focus on
hospitals and colleges and universities. Restaurant catering operation tracking. Catering macrotrend analysis, including the economy, sustainability and environmental concerns, technology,
food & celebrity chef familiarity, and health trends. (Ibis World, 2014)
Insight on the catered meals consumer, including stand-alone analysis as well as
restaurant, institutional foodservice and food retail context. Catering operations analysis of a
mixture of restaurant, food retail, foodservice contractor, and caterer companies, such as Panera
Bread, Whole Foods Market, Compass Group, and Blue Plate Catering. Catering opportunity
analysis of significant life events (such as births, weddings, and funerals) as well as significant
social events (such as the Super Bowl). ( Packaged Packs, 2011)

16

Demand for the industry will take a positive turn in the next five years, after the recession
and low consumer sentiment temporarily stifled revenue. A rise in demand from high-income
households and businesses will bolster growth, with consumers spending more money on parties
and other catered functions and corporate budgets loosening in line with stronger corporate
profit. As a result of these trends, the number of businesses within the industry will also grow.
( Packaged Packs, 2011)

rice. With rice, there are 2 kinds of viand one vegetable and one meat (pork, chicken or beef) or
fish. Filipinos also like soup, so our sweet-sour sinigang appeals to many, but our nilaga
(meat with vegatables, like stew) is more acceptable to many Filipinos.

consumer behavior because of the following: increased Awareness of the consumers, it provides
facts without approval or disapproval from consumers. Customer behavior at this stage
encompasses expressions of curiosity. Promotion of Loyalty or Alienation, consumer behavior
splits between loyalty and alienation depending on how well the product lives up to its advertised

leaflets and tarpaulins can affect buying behavior.
Analysis:
STRONGLY AGREE: Print Ads such brochures, leaflets and tarpaulin can affect you buying
behavior.
According to smallbusiness.chron.com, using tarpaulins in promoting the product or the
brand has two advantages. First, People Will See It. Since billboards or tarpaulins are are
generally placed along highways and busy streets, the company will be guaranteed that
people will see your advertising. Also, unlike with commercials or magazine ads, you cannot
flip the channel or turn the page on a billboard. Therefore, people will notice the billboard
whether they like it or not. Another added benefit is that many people travel the same route
repeatedly, such as with their commute to work each day. This means that they'll see your
billboard regularly, which makes it more likely to stick in their minds. Second is, Customized
Placement. The company can place their billboard advertisement wherever you feel it will
have the most impact. This can be a big advantage when have a business you want to draw
traffic to right off a particular highway exit, or you have a showroom just down the road. The
company can also use billboards in areas where reaching people is difficult. An example is
rural farming communities spread over vast distances. By placing their tarpaulin or billboard
advertisement along one of the main roads around the community, they will greatly increase
their visibility.

advertising reaches a large audience. It also allows marketers to target certain customers. By
placing the tv ads on certain shows or during specified time slots in order to encourage the target
market and for them to notice the product. Also, television advertisements allows consumers to
see and hear a product in operation. It has greater sensory appeal than any other media. It
enhance the human sensory skills such seeing and hearing. Lastly, television advertisement can

The majority of the respondents answered Strongly Agree with if promotional activities can
encourage brand loyalty.
Analysis:
STRONGLY AGREE: Promotional Activities can encourage a brand loyalty
Brand loyalty is based on an emotional involvement that develops between the consumer
and the brand. The consumers perception is that the brand fulfills some kind of physical need or
emotional want in such a unique way that some kind of emotion is evoked during the purchase
process and while using the brand. A powerful brand with a loyal consumer audience behind it
can withstand any micro- or macro-environmental factor thrown at it. Whether there is a
recession at the macro-level or a corporate re-organization at the micro-level, brand loyalists will
keep on buying the brands they love. Brand loyalty equates to long-term, sustainable, business
success. You can count on loyal customers to keep buying your branded products and telling

other words, brand loyalty is an indicator of intangible value as well as a quantifiable
measurement of your brands success to-date and future performance predictions. Dont

trumps just about every other purchasing factor you can think of.

STRONGLY AGREE: Rice and Drinks all you can promo can increase Sales
According to http://www.globalgourmet.com, Filipinos love to eat, and since they're
naturally hospitable and gregarious, food is the basis of their social life. Because the feeling of
fulfillment after eating rice, their staple ingredient, is relatively short-lived, they eat three meals a
day and two snacks in between. Filipinos, especially country folk, rise early. Some will eat a
segundo almuerzo (second breakfast) around 10:30, plus a merienda, or mid-afternoon snack.
Rural folk eat their main meal at midday, while city dwellers emphasize the evening meal. The
52

diet of poor families is usually rice, fish, vegetables, interspersed with starchy snacks. At fiesta
time, all families try to eat meat.

According to Sun, W et.al , promotions are an important aspect of competitive dynamics in
the retail sector. Retailers use promotion techniques such as typical price promotions, deep
discount deals, feature advertising, and in-store displays to attract consumers. Sizeable amount of
work done on designing promotions is used to understand how consumers react to price changes,
53

and determining the optimal product prices. With this, Nanays Cuisine should be more focus on
promotional tools such discounts to penetrate sales and stimulate loyalty to consumer.

female which constitutes a higher percentage by18% versus the opposite gender-Males.
With this, the results and perspective of these study result will be more of a female point
of view.

University Food Square.
3. According to the results, figure 3 and table 3 shows that the majority of the respondents
has a range of Php 101-200.00 allowance. With this range of allowances, this may have
an impact on buying behavior of the student inside the campus so with this, the
researchers can fully advise Nanays cuisne in terms of purchading capacity of the
students and how can they price their product. Moreover on this link http://www.abscbnnews.com/, it is stated that college school students typically get P150 to P250
(excluding transport allowance) per day. Students from exclusive schools like Ateneo
and DLSU receive where surrounding places to eat tend to be more expensive receive
higher allowance.
4. According to the results, figure 3 and table 3 shows that the majority of the respondents
has a range of Php 101-200.00 allowance. With this range of allowances, the pricing
strategy of Nanays Cuisine Cafeteria inside the campus can manage to change and alter
their previous pricing depending on how much is allocated on food based on their
allowance.
In knowing this, it may have an impact on buying behavior of the student inside the
campus so with this, the researchers can

purchasing capacity of the students and how can they price their product.The allowance
covers P50 to P100 for lunch, P30 to P50 for merienda, P20 on average for photocopies,

55

and P50 to P80 for school requirements like printing, buying pens, etc.According to
http://www.infocomrade.com, Filipinos love to eat especially Filipino dishes, so do not
be surprised that Filipinos take 3 full meals and 2-3 merienda/snacks in just a day. The
meals are considered meals if there is at least a cup of rice. With rice, there are 2 kinds of
viand one vegetable and one meat (pork, chicken or beef) or fish. Filipinos also like
soup, so our sweet-sour sinigang appeals to many, but our nilaga (meat with
vegatables, like stew) is more acceptable to many Filipinos.
5. According to readwrite.com, Facebook is an accepted means of communication. It is a
never-ending virtual social gathering filled with viral articles and videos, events, groups,
organizations and fan pages. A new study entitled "Why do people use Facebook?" from
Boston University's Ashwini Nadkarni and Stefan G. Hofmann proposes that the social
network meets two primary human needs: (1) the need to belong and (2) the need for selfpresentation. The study also acknowledges demographic and cultural factors as they
relate to the belonging need, and the variation of personality types on Facebook usage.
The study defines social networking sites (SNSs) as "Internet-based services that give
individuals three major capabilities: The ability to construct a public or semi-private
profile, identify a list of other users with whom a connection is shared, and view and
track connections made by individuals and others.
6. According to the results, figure 6 and table 6 shows that the majority stated the taste of
being the no.1 factor in considering choosing a cafeteria to dine in. Moreover with this
link foodservicewarehouse.com, it states that the sense of taste is an important aspect for
diners everywhere. No one will eat in an eatery if the food tastes terrible. Be sure that an
eatery or cafeteria have a talented chef or cook on staff to create the dishes that keep your
guests coming back again and again. Also, be sure your dishes are consistently delicious.

56

This is what creates loyal customers, and helps define your brand. Most of the consumers
is not sensitive when it comes to purchasing food. The most important to them is the taste
of the food than to its price.
7. According to the results, figure 7 and table 7 shows that the majority of the respondents
answered yes, on whether theyve tried eating at Nanays Cuisine Cafeteria located at De
La Salle University Food Square. With this, the result of the research is distinct in terms
of comments towards the cafeterias services and their food delivery.

answered Once a week they are visiting Nanays Cuisine. With this, the researchers
advice Nanays Cuisine to come up with some techniques and tools on how the cafeteria
can have more visitation. Moreover, this situation can further be the reason on how the
researchers can help the said Cuisine. This situation is critical to the reputation of
Nanays Cuisine because a successful cafeteria has loyal customers. With this result,
having more loyal customers is on the list of objectives to successful cafeteria business.
9. According to the results, table 9 and figure 9 shows that the majority of the respondents
answered No, whether they are aware of Nanays Cuisines Print ad. With this result, it
clearly shows the failure of the advertising tool in terms of producing. Prints ads are
important part of the promotional activities of a business, they have great effect. That is
why according to ehow.com print ads are timeless, magazines and billboards can have a
long exposure time. It also can affect a products branding, the flexibility of print media
placement can help build a brand image and awareness.
10. According to the results, figure 10 and table 10 shows that the majority of the
respondents answered No, whether they are aware of Nanays Cuisine Facebook page.
With this, it is a clear result of poor promotional period and tactics. According to
http://www.wsj.com/, one reason some businesses' Facebook ads are reaching fewer users

57

and costing more is that competition for ad space has intensified. Roughly 1.5 million
firms of all sizes pay to advertise on Facebook today, up from around one million a year
ago. Also, there's less space available. Ads in Facebook's right-hand column recently took
on a new, larger design, allowing room for fewer per page.
11. According to the results, figure 11 and table 11 shows that the majority of the respondents
are not aware of Nanays Cuisines Sponsorship program. With this, it clearly shows the
promotional programs failure to deliver its purpose. Moreover, According to
http://businesscasestudies.co.uk/, Sponsorship provides a great means of broadening your
competitive edge by improving your company's image, prestige and credibility by
supporting events that your target market finds attractive. It is a good way of increasing
brand awareness, which helps to generate consumer preference and to foster brand
loyalty. A company can reinforce awareness among its target market by sponsoring an
event or organization that attracts a similar target market. A sponsor can enjoy a wide
range of benefits from a carefully selected sponsorship, which can raise brand awareness
and create preference, create positive PR and raise awareness of the organization as a
whole, provide attractive content for a range of products and services, build brand
positioning through associative imagery support a sales promotion campaign create
internal emotional commitment to the brand act as corporate hospitality that promotes
good relations with clients.
12. According to the results, figure 12 and table 12 shows that the majority of the
respondents are not aware of Nanays Cuisines Discount program. With this, it is a clear
reflection of promotional failure tactic. According to smallbusiness.chron.com, offering
potential customers discounts on purchases is a way to quickly draw people into your
store. Anytime you tell a customer that he can save money, youre likely to get his

58

attention. Discounts dont only help your shoppers; they also help your business. From
increased sales to improved reputation, discounts may be that one ingredient that can
bring business success. Giving discounts can Attract Customers, Increase Sales, Free Up
Room, Reputation, Meet Goals and Save Money.
13. STRONGLY AGREE: Promotions can influence decision of consumer in terms of
buying
According to Kevin Johnston of Demand Media, promotion plays an essential part
in the consumer behavior because of the following: increased Awareness of the
consumers, it provides facts without approval or disapproval from consumers. Customer
behavior at this stage encompasses expressions of curiosity. Promotion of Loyalty or
Alienation, consumer behavior splits between loyalty and alienation depending on how
well the product lives up to its advertised benefits.
With this Nanays Cuisine should be more focus on their Promotional tools in
order to compete with larger cafeterias and catering services.
14. STRONGLY AGREE: Print Ads such brochures, leaflets and tarpaulin can affect you
buying behavior.
According to smallbusiness.chron.com, using tarpaulins in promoting the product or
the brand has two advantages. First, People Will See It. Since billboards or tarpaulins are
are generally placed along highways and busy streets, the company will be guaranteed
that people will see your advertising. Also, unlike with commercials or magazine ads, you
cannot flip the channel or turn the page on a billboard. Therefore, people will notice the
billboard whether they like it or not. Another added benefit is that many people travel the
same route repeatedly, such as with their commute to work each day. This means that
they'll see your billboard regularly, which makes it more likely to stick in their minds.
Second is, Customized Placement. The company can place their billboard advertisement
59

wherever you feel it will have the most impact. This can be a big advantage when have a
business you want to draw traffic to right off a particular highway exit, or you have a
showroom just down the road. The company can also use billboards in areas where
reaching people is difficult. An example is rural farming communities spread over vast
distances. By placing their tarpaulin or billboard advertisement along one of the main
roads around the community, they will greatly increase their visibility.
With this Nanays Cuisine should be more focus on promotional tools such a prints,
which is less costly than other tools. Effective distribution of prints like brochure, leaflets
can resulted to great awareness of the cuisine to the non-eaters of the said cafeteria.
15. STRONGLY AGREE: Websites can effectively promote a particular product
According to Forrester Researchs recently published Five-Year Interactive Marketing
Forecast report, interactive marketing such as the use of e-mails, websites, facebook page
are effective ways of marketing a brand or product. The report shows that interactive
marketing activities including social media, e-mail marketing and mobile marketing will
reach $55 billion in 2014 and represent approximately 21 percent of overall marketing
spend.
With this Nanays Cuisine should be more interactive and adapt on the fast moving
technology world.
16. STRONGLY AGREE: Active Social Media Usage can effectively promote a particular
product

60

Social media can be described as a broad term inclusive of activities where people
create content, share it, bookmark it and network at a phenomenal rate.On the other hand
social networking sites are a place where in one forms communities of interestto connect
to others. Social networking sites utilize social media technology to connect with people
and build relationships. Social networking sites allow individuals to construct their
profilewithin a bounded system, share with other users and view and traverse their list of
connectionsand those made by others within the system (Boyd & Ellison, 2007).
With this Nanays Cuisine should learn to manage social media because this trend
is much more effective and less costly than other tools. Also, with this it can reach larger
audience.
17. STRONGLY AGREE: TV Food Shows like Kris TV can affect the buying behavior of
consumer
Based on an article at savemyadbudget.com, TV advertisements are effective
because, TV advertising reaches a large audience. It also allows marketers to target
certain customers. By placing the tv ads on certain shows or during specified time slots
in order to encourage the target market and for them to notice the product. Also,
television advertisements allows consumers to see and hear a product in operation. It has
greater sensory appeal than any other media. It enhance the human sensory skills such
seeing and hearing. Lastly, television advertisement can affect the buying behavior
because they reach consumers when they are most open to new ideas. The average TV
viewer is in a relaxed state of mind when watching. Their minds are unoccupied. Their

61

brains are ready to be engaged. That makes people more likely to be effected by TV
advertising.
18. STRONGLY AGREE: Promotional Activities can encourage a brand loyalty
Brand loyalty is based on an emotional involvement that develops between the
consumer and the brand. The consumers perception is that the brand fulfills some kind of
physical need or emotional want in such a unique way that some kind of emotion is
evoked during the purchase process and while using the brand. A powerful brand with a
loyal consumer audience behind it can withstand any micro- or macro-environmental
factor thrown at it. Whether there is a recession at the macro-level or a corporate reorganization at the micro-level, brand loyalists will keep on buying the brands they love.
Brand loyalty equates to long-term, sustainable, business success. You can count on loyal
customers to keep buying your branded products and telling their friends about them.
There is a value to that loyalty that correlates directly to brand equity. In other words,
brand loyalty is an indicator of intangible value as well as a quantifiable measurement of
your brands success to-date and future performance predictions.
Dont underestimate the importance of brand loyalty. Emotional involvement is a
powerful thing that trumps just about every other purchasing factor you can think of.
19. STRONGLY AGREE: Rice and Drinks all you can promo can increase Sales
