Hotdog in a Waffle?? - - - Waffle Time

At the 2011 Philippine Franchise Asia  or PFA exhibit at the SMX Convention Center, I saw the Waffle Time booth in the front part of the huge hallway.  We see the Waffle Time foodcart all over Metro Manila.

A New Kind of Laundry Shop: Speed Queen Laundry

Speed Queen Coin-operated Laundry machine

I you have seen American movies wherein the actors (usually male; don't know why) lugging a basket of dirty clothes to a Laundrymat. They then open the fish-bowl glass of the front-loading laundry machine, dump all their dirties in them and search their pockets for loose change (coins) which they then feed into the machine for it to run.

Well, there is an outfit who is planning to do just that--- Speed Queen by Tysons Global Enchange Inc (tel 0922-0752; no landline huh?).

Instead of using coins, you have to use their tokens to make the machine run.  You charge P30-60/cycle (per single machine operation; hopefully it gets clean in one washing) and P60/cycle for drying. Each cycle is good for 3 kgs or about 4-5 maong denim pants.  This compares to the P25-30/kg that laundryshops currently charge.

While they are more expensive, the Speed Queen guy says theirs is good for people in a rush as laundryshops may take 2-3 days to deliver. But, on the other hand, I told the Speed Queen guy, the laundryshops usually include ironing services. In the case of Speed Queen, you still need to iron it yourself when you get back to the condo --- which most people do not like to do (hot, tiring, hassle).

Speed Queen Washer & Dryer uses tokens

Also, while their flyer says Passive Income, the Speed Queen guy agrees that we still need to hire people to watch the place to prevent us Filipinos from vandalizing the machines or horror, trying to outwit the machine by putting all sorts of coin-like metal object to fool the coin-slot.  Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Speed Queen tokens for the Dryer and Washer. Do you think the Pinoy can make similar tokens to fool the machines?

All Time Favorite Donuts: Country Style Donut Foodcart

Country Style Donut with Bunn Brewed Coffeemaker

Many have said that in selecting a foodcart franchise, make sure the product is not just a Fad especially when you will be using your lifesavings to pay for the franchise package.  Donuts have been with us for so many years and of course, the market leader is Dunkin donut followed by Mister Donut.  Bringing up the lower end of the market would be Hapi Haus Donuts.

Occupying what I call the middle road would be Country Style Donuts.  Owning a Country Style Donut franchise format is like having your own small dream coffeeshop.  Unlike the other donut franchises, Country Style Donut format ranges from a Donut kiosk that sells Donuts & brewed coffee to a Dine-in affair that sells coffee, donuts and sandwiches.

Country Style Donut franchise packages are priced almost like Dunkin donut with the lowest donut franchise package having a franchise fee of P150,000 for a total investment of about P500,000 while the full-line dine-in Country Style is P1.8 Million!!!

Space requirement is 8-12 sqm for the donut only format to 50-100 sqm for the full-line Dine-in Sandwich/ donut kiosk.

Donuts are iced from P25-30 (same as Dunkin donut premium but Country Style has no P15 Dunkin Donut small donut) while sandwiches range from P95 to P104.

I had the pleasure of talking with Mr. Jonathan Arrieta, Country Style Business Development Officer who spent the better part of almost an hour explaining to me the Countrystyle Business from food cost, electrical & utility expenses and finding the right location for their franchise - -  this are details that not many franchisors are willing to discuss as if these were Pentagon Nuclear Bomb secrets!!!!

According to Mr. Arrieta, the best margins come from selling sandwiches and coffee.


Countrystyle donut is a franchise owned by MFC Bistro Foods Corp located at GBI Compound, 2282 Chino Roces (Pasong Tamo Ext for the oldies like me), Makati (side of Toyota Pasong Tamo) and tel 813-1282 and 817-7573.

Generic Drug Mania: Farmacia ni Doc

Just looking at the daily lines at any Mercury Drugstore and you will realize many Filipinos are getting sick and in need of maintenance medicines.  Add to this is the fact that the Philippines has one of the highest birth rates of any country on Earth and you say, Aha BIG MARKET FOR DRUGS (the ethical kind, of course).

A big point favoring the Generic drug market is that many Filipinos cannot afford branded medicines and most have no health care plan.

Enter the Generic Pharmacy franchise.  During the recently concluded Philippines Franchise Asia exhibit at the SMX Convention Center in the Mall of Asia complex, several generic drug franchises were presented.  (Curiously, there were as many generic drug franchises this 2011 PFA exhibit as there were scramble franchises in previous years.  At the PFA this year, only Scramble king along with its mascot was noticed by me.)

Farmacia ni Dok says its Franchise fee is as low as P99,000.  They offer 4 Franchise formats which differ in whether you want to offer only generic drug (the cheapest package at P398,180) to a Pharmacy + Distribution format which sells a combination of generic and branded medicines (P1,280,380, the highest).

Area required ranges from P15 - 20 sqm for the Generic/Standard format to 40sqm for the Combo Pharmacy + Distribution format.

In their flyer, they claim to have 30 branches nationwide.
