I. Executive summary
Mang Inasal is a locally owned fast food restaurant in the Philippines that will be soon, positioned as
an international franchise through our creative approach to the companys image and detail
presentation. Mang Inasal will provide a combination of excellent food at value pricing, with fun
packaging and atmosphere. Mang Inasal is the answer to an increasing demand for BBQed fast
food, to be consumed while having quality time with your friends or family in the shopping mall. In
todays highly competitive environment, it is becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate one fast
food outlet
from another due to its variety of product line and services. Dubai, a city state, is now becoming the
model metropolis in the Middle Easts new economic boom.
With more than a total population of 2.106 million (2013), mainly from neighboring countries
(Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines), Dubais import in meat, vegetables and so on in
its sector is the strongest in the region. Our main priority is to establish one fast food restaurant in a
crowded mall, preferably in one of prominent shopping malls in Dubai. Later, our effort will be a
further development in our service and product line in the surrounding area. This plan is prepared to
obtain a location for the initial launch of this concept. Additional financing will need to be secured for
the fast food restaurant.
The financing, in addition to the capital contributions from shareholders, will allow Mang Inasal to
successfully open and expand. The initial capital investment will allow Mang Inasal to provide its
customers with a value-driven, entertaining experience through the creativity of its founders. Mang
Inasal will entice the diverse culture to bring their friends and family with our innovative environment,
fresh-cut Chickens, and selection of unique signature sauces.

Background
of
the
Market
The destination of where Mang Inasal will prosper will be in the nation of UAE specifically in Dubai.
Why Dubai? Why did choose the country Dubai instead of any other country? Because Dubai is the
mecca for growth is the no.1 country in the oil business giving us an advantage in making use of its
economic growth? And it stands in having the highest imports in any other UAE capitals in all of the
Middle East but above all we choose Dubai for one single purpose.
And that purpose is Food. People in Dubai love to eat, and as a fast food chain business that is one
great news for us, but what separates us from our competitors is the product line that we offer
because statistic shows that people in Dubai likes to eat rice since rice is the best side dish when
eating meat with sauce or vegetables. The imported food of Dubai consisted mainly of fish, rice,
bread, dates, yogurt, homegrown vegetables, and meat from sheep, goats, and camels. And this are
most consumed food that people eat in Dubai

everywhere nationwide, and to provide great tasting product and quality services to our customers
with the use of different kinds of products we will try to capture the large market in our new market
area and cater their culture by offering new product lines that are made from lamb/sheep products.
With the use of our marketing expertise we will try to analyze what is our opportunity and threats in
our environment to maximize our growth in the fast food industry.
Focus
Our restaurant focuses on customers who loves to eat food, whose customer classes are mostly
class Cs Ds and Es since the product of Mang Inasal are affordable and cheap, and whose
customers that has an active lifestyle in eating, our restaurants new product line are specialize in
chicken, pork and possibly new product line lamb with unlimited rice to align its food chain culture
towards the culture of our target market.
Strengths
Our strengths as a fast food chain is endorsement, large target market, market leader in barbeque
fast food chain, accessibility, and strong commissary system in which case we can utilize these
strengths to create new marketing strategies and programs in developing new product and services
to offer in our growing and diverse market.
Weaknesses
Our weakness as a fast food chain is unhealthy food, Filipino culture, brands under the Mang
Inasal , commissary struggle, and lack of research for other countries since Mang Inasal is under
Jollibee Corporation McDonalds can consider us as a threat in the market area and that the lack of
technology can cause a delay in our R and D in improving our restaurants products and services.
Customer Analysis
Number

(and 71% of the emirates total population) was Asian (chiefly Indian, Pakistani, Filipino, Bangladeshi
and Sri Lankan). About 3% of the total population of Dubai was categorized as Western. In

accommodation were not identified by ethnicity or nationality, but were thought to be primarily Asian.
Type
Our restaurant focuses on the market area of Dubai a fast growing country, whose cultural heritage
of the people are both religious and hospitable people, but in Dubai as their culture diversifies and
meets new culture that will conflict their own belief, our restaurant will try to manage and use this
diverse culture in our favor, such as using the most delectable food of Dubai: Lamb as our new
product line.
Value Drivers
As our value drivers we will use our variety of products and combine some of them to create new
promos and products such as free upsize drinks, Pancit bihon/bijon perfect combo, Solve sarap and
many more value propositioned products.
Decision Process
We will use our traditional advertising to let our restaurant be known to the target market, with the
use of controlled advertisement of every six months monitoring to see how customers respond to our
billboard, flyers, and TV advertisement but statistic shows that Mang Inasal favorable ways of
advertising are through Social media, TV, Events and Experience and Word of mouth. Next is trying
to penetrate the new market through the use of discounts and promos due to our grand opening in
the new target market for the first month, and maintain its standard customers a day and invest in
improvement towards the target market.
Competitor
Analysis
Market Position
As a threat our competitors has the advantage to be the first known fast food chain in the country
such as McDonalds, Burger king, Del Taco, Wendys, Hardees, KFC and Pizza hut. But what
separates our restaurant towards our competitors is the unique product line that we offer, since we
offer BBQed and Filipino styled desserts products with the use of the most popular side dish that the
food industry can offer which is Rice, we can patronage and capture the market through the use of
our product line and cater new product line to adapt to the culture of Dubai.
Strengths
The strength of our competitor is Cost advantage, strong management, real estate, pricing power,
innovative culture. Financial leverage, asset leverage, supply chain, size advantages, economies of
scale, cost advantages, unique products, technology. The strength of our competitors can cause
major problems in our brand recognition process of our restaurant, since some of our competitors
are known brands; it can cause problems in the decision process strategy and in our brand
awareness towards our competitors.
Weakness
The weaknesses of our competitors are Negative publicity, Unhealthy food menu, Job and high
employee turnover, and Low differentiation. The weaknesses of our competitors that are mostly
towards its employees can be an advantage for our restaurant, in which case we can use this to
offer new jobs and programs for our workforce.
Collaborators
Mang Inasal is currently under Jollibee food corp. who owns 70% of Mang Inasal s market share but
as a fast food chain Mang Inasal is now currently profitable since the owner of its large market share
is the no.1 leading Fast food chain in the Philippines with over thousands of branches both nationally

Segmentation
Geographic Segmentation
Dubai is located on the Persian Gulf, in the northeast of the United Arab Emirates. Dubai is the
second largest emirate with an urban area of 3885 sq. km and the city is roughly 35 sq km. However
it will expand to twice that size with the addition of the man-made islands; the Waterfront, the three
Palms, the World, the Universe, Dubai land, as well as the construction in the desert.
Psychographic Segmentation
The UAE culture mainly revolves around the religion of Islam and traditional Arab culture. The
influence of Islamic and Arab culture on its architecture, music, attire, cuisine and lifestyle are very
prominent as well. Five times every day, Muslims are called to prayer from the minarets of mosques
which are scattered around the country. Since 2006, the weekend has been Friday-Saturday, as a
compromise between Fridays holiness to Muslims and the Western weekend of Saturday-Sunday.
Behavioral Segmentation
Dubai buying behavior: Consumers in the three largest emirates tend to shop more at hypermarkets
and frequent the smaller shops and convenience stores for last-minute food needs. In the more
distant suburbs and the less-populated areas of the federation, smaller grocery and convenience
stores play an important role in food shopping. The number of hypermarkets is increasing steadily
with retail chains such as Carrefour, Spinneys and Lulu dominating the big format supermarket
trade. These key retailers tend to partner with foreign companies to procure imported food
products directly, while small format grocery retailers rely on consolidated deliveries for replenishing
their stock levels.
The continued growth in both affluence and the expatriate population has created the need for a
diverse range of food products in the UAE the food retail sector has responded by providing a range
of foods and ingredients suiting the tastes of the different ethnic groups in the country. Data monitor
has evaluated a number of food categories and projected growth at retail in most areas, particularly
chilled foods, bakery/cereal products, savory snacks and pasta/noodles.

the generosity and aspirations of its people and the contribution of many people from different parts
of the world, many of whom have chosen to make Dubai their permanent home. This creates a blend
of many cultures that coexist peacefully. But in a religious country Dubai is a very conservative
country having a strict dress code and with a very diverse culture in its social class.
Technological Environment
Dubai is today recognized as an international trading port. While rapid sophistication of the 21st
century technology has changed the face of Dubai from timeless deserts to a thriving economy with
strengths in trade, services, manufacturing and technology, Dubai maintains a fine balance of
cultural legacy and a modern metropolis.

IV.
Marketing
Strategies
1. Product/Service Strategy
For our Product strategy we will use the most common strategy of Mang Inasal which is the Product
development strategy As seen in the analysis of Mang Inasal operations the past years, this
strategy has been proven beneficial to the company. With good research and development, Mang
Inasal is capable of continuing to produce products that fit well to the taste of their market. They
could also continue innovating their current product line so as to continuously remain ahead of its
competitors. And to compliment this strategy: Cost Leadership strategy Best value strategy. In this
strategy we can create a new product line to cater to a unique segment of their market. For example,
creating a healthier product line for those who are weight and health conscious would be ideal.
2. Pricing Strategy
For the pricing strategy our cost leadership would be best since our product are already affordable
for the market, all we need to consider is the new product line that we have to offer towards our
customers in order for us to capture new market segments and to achieve our goal in being the
leading BBQed specialized fast food chain in the country. And with our new product line we can
assess the gap between the healthy foods and unhealthy foods, and cater the culture of non-muslim
by offering non pork products such as lamb and goat.
3. Place/Location Strategy
For the location strategy we will place our restaurants near hotels or inside malls but more
specifically the Zamatao mall in Dubai which houses many competitors such as McDonalds, Burger
king, Hardees, Wendys and so on, but these competitors are just indirect competitors since their
product line differs from us, as a competitive edge, our fast food chain will be placed in front of other
fast food restaurant to intimidate our competitors and in order for us to capture our desired target
market with the use of our new product lines and unique product position, since our products differ
from their product line we can have the advantage of product positioning
4. Promotional Strategy
In our promotional strategy we will use a controlled advertising having a 6 month monitoring towards
the reaction of the customers in our advertisement to do further study in analyzing negative and
positive factors in our promotional strategy and focusing on the positive reaction and lessen the
negative factors of our advertisements and through the use of online and TV advertisement we can
make our product known to the target market.
5. Positioning Strategy
With the use of the diverse market we can cater and create new product lines to capture new
segments of the market, and we should keep to our new market for now, and should avoid risk in the
new market to prevent any major financial problems towards our restaurant in order for us to keep
an update in our budgeting and opportunities in gaining new technology/insights in our environment
to use as an advantage for our restaurants, and with the use of new insights we can raise new
supply system in the new market to eliminate unnecessary cutbacks/problems in the inventory of our
products and services.

EXIT
PLAN
For our exit plan strategy, we decided to sell-out the company in case of bankruptcy or other major
financial problems, because sell-out is the most easy way in earning back the owners equity and the
same time earn dividends afterwards it clearly is in our interest to ensure our firm is a good fit for
the buyer and therefore more likely to prosper. In other words we would create a win-win situation for
both our company and the firms who are willing to buy the companys asset and other subsidies.
