Supplying Food Everyday for Business in the Philippines

The Filipinos love to eat and that is a fact. From exotic, Asian and Japanese cuisine, the Pinoys are not so picky with regards to food. They are explorers of taste and if they can afford to buy, why not try? This is the reason why many businessman and entrepreneurs go for the food industry as their means of income stream. It is also a wise decision to make this particular stores to create a new environment for everyday busy consumers. Menus for the public are not necessarily healthy since they must understand that preparing these meals should be at home. Most fast foods are not healthy and everybody knows that but it is still a best help for hungry people who does not have much time to cook on their own in a daily basis.

Jollibee for instance is the most biggest fast food chain in the Philippines and it acts like a McDonald's of the United States. Hamburgers, hotdogs and same menus of Mcdo was applied but converted into Filipino style of tastes. It started way back in the 80's as an ice cream parlor at Cubao, Quezon City. More delicacies gather and sell street foods and this also a fast way to alleviate hunger for passerby. Some are fruits like green mangoes with bagoong, quail eggs, fish ball, siomai, pork barbeque (isaw, liver,etc). These are cheap snacks for the average Filipinos and is usually consumed during afternoon were workers log out from their jobs.

Lechon businesses are also the best choice for take away food category. Chicken is a basic meat everywhere and it is excellent for selling for a profitable way of earning. The common recipe for manok are tinola, caldereta, adobo, sinigang and more. Roasting chicken is rarely done and so litson is a helpful fast and reliable meat "ulam" for the family. Liempo are also popular in the public market and they are usually seen in residential areas and near tricycle terminals all over Luzon.

Balot is a cheap and delicious snack on the go. It is sold at 6pm onwards and sometimes combined with chicharon. It is a steamed duck egg highly known to strengthen the weak knees and joints. More delicacies are found at every corners in the city of Manila were people move around doing their routines. Retailing snacks and foods for business is a daily need for everybody and people tend to buy for unique products or common ones if in budget. Strategic selling and placing of the stores must be applied if you want to add or multiply your ideas of selling.

Foreign investors like Chinese and Koreans also took advantage in filling some cities with food products to distribute in the Philippines. They have discovered that Filipinos like to eat adventurously. Their restaurant styles include beautiful interior which includes its culture for Pinoys to try. These are shabu-shabu, kimchi and spicy noodles. But among other business culture, Japanese sushi and ramen are the most favorite pick of locals in Manila. 

Supplying something for the hungry crowd daily can be the best solution to earn more. Several businessman or franchisee starters that already has the capital to invest tries food stalls. For some, starting small is very important to know and study the market. An additional store or outlet is applied if the operation system is mastered.

Business are everywhere and it makes every city a better place to live in. However while observing each origin of how it started, many companies begin with patience and small steps. These steps are shoes of disciplined with how to use money and investing time plus effort. A great example is a lechon business. It was discovered  many years ago and was later commercialized by lechon manok pioneers in the Philippines. Andoks, Baliwag and Aling Lydia was among top successful business makers of this opportunity. They all began with less knowledge about the said food retailing but with determination and patience, the small idea became a corporation that now has a very strong foundation.

Being independent and less help for relatives, they have no choice but to move forward and try everything they can to survive. Luck and blessings came along as they continue to pursue their dream of building the idea on their minds. Just like any other stories you see on short films and movies, bad times came when situations are quite hard for them but this moments just made them to fight more and be courageous. Their ability to solve problems improved for both business and life. Thinking of the necessities of the Filipinos, they thought about creating their original recipes of lechon manok. Sometimes it is also applied to a liempo which is popularly known as the "pork belly" because it also serves as a basic protein meat for everyone.

Best Lechon Manok, Liempo and Sisig

The best tasting lechon are differentiated in taste according to its location. Aling Lydia's has distributing lechon baboy for many years and she started it in the city of Baclaran. She established her product very well from small beginnings to make a living but turned out to be a big success.

Filipino will never forget this menu because it relates to the history of the Philippines. It was introduced to us by the Spaniards who conquered the country in the old days. The Spanish men usually cook this as a gathering food in a thanksgiving ceremony. They want to eat it together with their families, friends and loved ones. This is how the Filipinos adapted to the foreign culture and still practice it today. Lechon was very famous until now and in fact, there are many companies now that sell delicious products of chicken and pork belly around the country. Every place is a market  and where there are hungry people around there will be sales and good profit. The food business is a good strategy to earn extra aside from jobs and this is a passive type of income that money multiplies on its own.

Business Topic - Risk Management

Experience is definitely the ultimate teacher. We all know that risk is a part of our daily lives. We can never assure something you want to work out instantly until that thing does not yet exist. Many curious individuals ask how can I fight risk? Well, just take the risk. It may be difficult for the first time but that is the real way, to practice taking every risk as possible. When you are doing taking chances, you can now see the statistics of the do's and don'ts. These are the situations that works fine and trials that do not work at all.

It is all about experimentation, a trial and error monitoring. I guess you wondering how to do this, you can preview this in your mind with this example. A famous scientist made an observation to a mice and his study is about the hearing intelligence of this creature. He makes a ting bell sound everytime a food is being introduced to the rodent. He discovers and proves that this animal's hearing can be manipulated. On the other day, he made a sound but this time there was no food is present. But the brain of the mice tells that there is food because of the "ting" stimulation.

With that story, the real solution to really know something is continuous testing. Being curious and cautious can develop a wiseman within you. Risk will lessen when you learn to solve problems. Make an imagination of your goal, preview what are the factors that can provide growth and the situations that may give a negative effect. It can take some time to see the answers you seek but this actually develops you to level up your strategic mind or the street wise insight. You can not make a difference in life and in business if you are not willing to go out of your comfort zone. Remember not to test the depth of the water with both feet. You can do great results when you become wise in managing risk.

Life and Business - Take the Risk.

Change is constant. It includes our environment, jobs and our life here. Preparation is the key to this matter together with consistent hard work and discipline. The only way to walk is forward but always remember to not to test the water with both feet if creating business is your goal. Exercise your mind to solve problems to strengthen yourself from the changes  of the future. Examine the picture below how strong was the diving duck even everyone was just looking at his first jump. They are just afraid but they really want to learn it too.

In the latter years, Cebu a specific region in Visayas was invaded by the Spaniards
to somehow conquer the rest of the island. With that motive, spanish culture was passed
to the early Filipinos and was carried away up to the recent time. Cooking, churches and
traditions was a big impact to the "indios" which was regarded to the early natives.

How to franchise Lembest Lechon

   A franchisee must have a location to submit for ocular inspection and it must be atleast 15 square meters. Location maybe the most important factor for a business set up but it also requires good management and quality products to sell. In looking for a feasible space, one must think like a consumer that wonders where he should buy his needs and spot a space that gain a lot of public exposure like a palengke, residential areas, semi-commercial areas. see example below:

Strategic location tricycle terminal in front of the store, long time residents, renting workers and students in the area. Store is inside a semi commercial subdivion near hospital and a university.

    Observing a location is indeed a good strategy for a more possibility for business success and factors may include time, type of people and sometimes jobs. These factors may help you think if the products will be consumed by the buyers in that specific area.

Remember being your own boss means you should be responsible for the good of your new business.
