How to Succeed as a Mang Inasal Restaurant Business Franchise

Mang Inasal is a commonly seen and popular barbecue fast food restaurant in the Philippines. Having been established only in 2003, it has grown its reach from its humble origins to a popular mealtime destination in the Philippines.
Its name means mister barbecue in Hiligaynon, where it was initially set up. It fuses traditional Filipino cuisine with the dine-in concept typically adopted by restaurants found in Philippine shopping malls.
Mang Inasal has pioneered the idea of “unlimited rice,” and customers have embraced the concept.
In just three years, Mang Inasal expanded to almost 30 branches. And with rising brand value and a growing number of loyal patrons, Mang Inasal was opened for franchising within Visayas and Mindanao in 2005, and soon offered in Luzon.
By 2009, just six years after it was established, Mang Inasal’s branches grew to 100.
In 2016, Mang Inasal accepted an offer of a 100% stake of ownership by Jollibee Foods Corporation. As of mid-2017, Mang Inasal has 463 branches nationwide.
With its strong portfolio of Chicken Inasal, Pork BBQ, Halo-Halo, and Palabok, Mang Inasal continuously explored new menu offerings over the years.

Mang Inasal earned awards such as Outstanding Fast Growing Local Food Company from the 19th Annual National Consumers Awards in 2008, the Most Outstanding Quick Service Restaurant, and Most Outstanding Chicken Inasal restaurant from the 2010 Dangal ng Bayan Awards, and the Outstanding Filipino Franchise Award from the 2015 Franchise Excellence Awards.
Mang Inasal has been successful in leveraging off its brand equity. Still, as a subsidiary of Jollibee Foods Corporation, it has been able to penetrate across strategic locations within the Philippine market.
It is open to enterprising Filipinos who want to become stakeholders in the fast-growing Chicken Inasal quick service restaurant in the country. Taking a cue from the chicken BBQ-loving Filipinos, Mang Inasal franchise could be one of the most profitable businesses a qualified investor might wish to undertake.
