Product and Services

Jollibee has an impressive and delicious menu line-up – like its superior-tasting Chickenjoy, mouth-watering Yumburger and Champ hamburger, and deliciously satisfying Jollibee Spaghetti complemented with creative marketing programs, and efficient manufacturing and logistics facilities. It is made possible by well-trained teams that work in a culture of integrity and humility, fun and family-like. Every Jollibee outlet welcomes customers with a clean and warm in-store environment and friendly and efficient service.

The competitive advantage of Jollibee over its competitors rests by doing 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 the Filipino market developed as a result of its ability to better meet the needs of the Filipino customer. Jollibee’s adaptation of its menu to local tastes, as well as the “5 Fs” of its operations management are two organizational capabilities that have led the company to develop a competitive advantage over rivals McDonald’s. As one of the “5 Fs,” flexibility was an asset that Jollibee, could leverage more easily than McDonald’s. As a younger company, Jollibee has the ability to adapt its menu items without jeopardizing its brand image. It also has the advantage of having a flatter organizational structure that allows it to respond to changes in the market more quickly.

Tight operations management and the flexibility to adapt to local tastes increase 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.
