Many people are also surprised at the privileges of owning a fast food franchise in the Philippines. Can you receive money from the restaurant every day? Do you still have free food? Can you improve the design of the store (like bathrooms)? There are many privileges in the possession of a franchise, but there are also restrictions. Before you even start building your restaurant, a new Jollibee franchisee submits to a basic operations training program (BOTP). This training will be complemented by other programs that will enhance the franchisee`s management and analytical capabilities for the operation of the restaurant. However, fees for food ingredients, employee wages and salaries, rental or rental costs and other related expenses, all of which are borne by the franchise owner, are not yet included. Below are the qualifications Jollibee is looking for in a franchisee: A self-motivated entrepreneur; Knows how to motivate your people; Ready to spend time visiting the day-to-day running of your restaurant; The willingness to take full-time training in the catering company; The ability to finance the investment requirement.
