Why Jollibee is Number 1 in the Philippines… • “If we want to compete (with McDonald’s) we have to make sure we at least equal them in all the other attributes. It was a challenge because in advertising, promotion, store look, size, playgrounds, service speed, we ranked lower. We focused on the other attributes one by one. • “We did a survey and, aside from taste of food, we were ranked higher by customers in courtesy and service style. Maybe they felt we were warmer…” • Tony Tancaktiong, • in an interview with Forbes Asia

Success Recipe of Top Franchises The most important ingredient is sensitivity to the needs of the consumers.
Why Are They on Top? Subway is the number one restaurant franchise because it recognizes that serving healthy meals is a growing need of today’s consumers. 7-Eleven is the top franchise in terms of number of outlets because it offers convenience, which is a real need in today’s fast-paced society. McDonald’s is a global icon because it has recognized that today’s consumers want to be pampered no matter what socio-economic class it belongs to and so it upgraded the design of its stores to make its customers feel important.
