More wins for the Jollibee Group, as four of its brands made it to the list of America’s Favorite Restaurant Chains for 2023. Newsweek, a premier news magazine and website, together with global data firm Statista, named Jollibee, Chowking, Smashburger, and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (CBTL) as among the best in their selected categories. 

The 2023 ranking was determined based on the results of an independent survey among over 4,000 customers and employees of restaurant chains in the United States. The respondents were asked to indicate which restaurant chains would they recommend among three ethnic cuisines and 13 dish categories. 

The three ethnic cuisines include Chinese, Italian, and Tex-Mex; while the 13 dish categories consist of BBQ, burgers, chicken, coffee/tea/baked goods, ice cream/frozen yogurt, juice and smoothies, noodles and ramen, pizza, sandwiches, seafood, soup, steak, and Sushi. 

Jollibee was cited in the chicken category, Smashburger for burgers, CBTL for tea and coffee, and Chowking for Chinese cuisine category.

According to Statista, all ratings were transformed into a score value and aggregated towards a final score. The survey respondents rated their experience with the restaurant chains using these nine assessment criteria: taste, cleanliness, hygiene and COVID-19 measures, transparency about ingredients, location, dealing with environmental issues, accessibility, service quality, and treatment of employees. 

To receive an award, a restaurant chain needed to receive a minimum number of recommendations and an overall score of at least 7 out of 10. In addition, a restaurant chain was required to have at least three locations across different cities within at least two U.S. states.

Jollibee and its creative agency Publicis JimenezBasic (PJB) show the kind of Christmas that Pinoys love and have longed for in the fast-food chain’s latest ad for the holidays. Titled “Sa Jollibee, Sarap ng Pasko!”, the video depicts different exciting reunions and celebrations of families, made even better with best-tasting Jollibee favorites like Chickenjoy, Jolly Spaghetti, and Burger Steak. 

“The campaign is special because in essence, it took two years in the making. This campaign stands for two years of missed reunions, hugs, and long Christmas dinners—things that made Christmas special are now back. This year is the year kung kailan babawi tayo sa sarap at saya, and we’re doing it together with Jollibee,” says Lucas Luchico, Creative Director of PJB.

The beginning of the video shows how past get-togethers were done online—a shared experience of many as everyone navigated pandemic restrictions while making it a point to still connect with loved ones during a challenging time. 

“The creative process was a personal one for all of those involved. It was filled with retrospection, and it was a creative expression of our collective wish to bring back the ‘sarap ng Pasko’ that we all miss,” adds Luchico.

As Jollibee endeavors to bring back the happy and fun moments people look forward to during the most wonderful time of the year, the rest of the video shows several vignettes of joyful Christmas celebrations. This includes a family going to a brightly lit Jollibee Drive-Thru, a group of friends having their Christmas get-together in a Jollibee store, mascots, store teams and delivery riders happily dancing, and an extended family coming together to celebrate the holidays at their beautifully decorated home.

When cravings suddenly strike, there’s nothing like the convenience of having food delivered straight to your doorstep. But sometimes, this convenience comes at an extra cost—literally. Fear of high inclusive delivery fees and minimum order requirements make it harder to have food delivered for someone on a tight budget.

Luckily, Jollibee Delivery now offers customers a #MasAffordelivery experience!  Now, everyone’s favorite langhap-sarap Jollibee favorites are same priced as dine-in, so customers can order their favorites guilt-free wherever they are. Whether a customer is ordering just for his or her own meal, or if they prefer to treat their friends and family, Jollibee Delivery has implemented a fixed delivery fee of P49, taking away the fear of having a high percentage of the total bill dedicated to just delivery fees. There’s also no need to keep adding orders beyond one’s need because there is no minimum order requirement for web and app orders. 

The Jollibee Group is sustaining its growth momentum overseas, as it continues to hit its aggressive global expansion targets in North America with more store openings scheduled in 2022. 

The DTLA location joins Jollibee’s two existing restaurants in the Metro Los Angeles area—3821 Beverly Blvd. (East Hollywood) and 2700 Colorado Blvd. (Eagle Rock)—and marks the brand’s 57th store in the U.S. 

“Southern California has been and will continue to be a key growth area for the brand,” said Maribeth Dela Cruz, Business Group Head, Jollibee North America. California is also home to Jollibee’s first U.S. location, which opened in Daly City in 1998 and remains one of its best performing locations in the country.

Downtown Opening

Primely located at 729 West 7th Street in the heart of the city’s Financial District, the new Jollibee in DTLA is situated at the Corner 7th and Flower St. across the Bloc, a prominent shopping destination for residents, office workers, and visitors. 

“We couldn’t wait a moment longer to open our doors in one of the world’s most dynamic and diverse metropolitan hubs that boasts such a strong sense of community among those who live and work in Downtown Los Angeles,” said Dela Cruz. 

Jollibee’s new location adds an element of excitement and a sign of revitalization for an area that is actively recovering from the pandemic. 

“We look forward to contributing to the vibrant food scene that exists here and serving our signature dishes to local residents and visitors from across the country and the globe, as tourism returns to the city in full force,” added Dela Cruz. 

Jollibee’s mission is to serve great-tasting food at a great value that is always served with joy. Its DTLA branch will serve Jollibee’s “must try” menu items, which include its world-famous Chickenjoy fried chicken (called Jolly Crispy Chicken in Canada) and Chicken Sandwich – each with its own spicy variant - as well as the Jolly Spaghetti and the refreshing Peach Mango Pie. 

Operating more than 1,500 restaurants across 17 countries, Jollibee’s global popularity spans its native Asia, as well as the Middle East, Europe, and North America. To learn more about Jollibee and other brands of the Jollibee Group, visit www.jollibeegroup.com.

#SweetSarapBonding

Jollibee has consistently delivered its Alagang Jollibee brand of customer service to ensure that it provides only the safest and highest quality of customer experience. And now, Jollibee is extending Alagang Jollibee to a vital group of people who continuously make life a tad bit easier—the ever-reliable delivery riders. They are the ones who move around and bring your food and other essential⁷s and serve as the brand’s partner to reach more customers even amid quarantine restrictions.

Jollibee recently launched initiatives for the convenience and comfort of its partner riders, which are anchored on the values of Alagang Jollibee. Free water refills are offered, and a free regular-sized iced tea is also available upon request when they pick up orders at the store. This way, they can enjoy some refreshments before they go back on the road to bring the joy of Jollibee meals to customers.

Select Jollibee stores also provide phone charging stations so riders can make sure they can continue fulfilling transactions throughout the day. There are also stores that equip its crew with speakers and lapels for safer and more efficient coordination with riders when dispatching orders.

“We appreciate the hard work and effort of our partner delivery riders as we continue to bring our customers’ favorite Jollibee meals safely and conveniently. As part of our Alagang Jollibee promise, we want to do our part in helping them carry out their tasks while on the road. They have played a key role in bringing joy especially during this pandemic and we hope to do the same for them,” said Arline B. Adeva, AVP and Head of Brand PR, Engagement and Digital Marketing of Jollibee.

Late last year, Jollibee also participated in Grab Philippines’ “Araw ng Tagapaghatid” and Foodpanda’s “Ka-Panda Day” initiatives for their respective riders by giving out limited food coupons as a way of giving thanks for their service. More than 36,000 GrabFood riders and 50,000 Foodpanda riders received a free Jolly Spaghetti coupon, which they claimed in participating stores for a specific period.

Call it simple joys amid the COVID-19 pandemic—the world-famous Chickenjoy has been ranked as among the best fast-food fried chicken by U.S. online magazine Redbookmag.com in celebration of National Fried Chicken Day in America.

“We couldn’t be happier of this recognition, as it goes to show that our Chickenjoy is truly world-class. We see customers continuing to come in droves to our stores because of their love for Chickenjoy. This is also why Jollibee North America continues to do well and is outperforming the QSR industry with positive systemwide sales growth despite the pandemic. We are grateful to our customers and will always be happy to serve them the best Chickenjoy that they deserve,” said Jollibee Foods Corporation President for North America Rowel Vijandre.

The publication also mentioned that Jollibee is the Filipino fried chicken chain “that’s about to take over the United States.”

It further wrote, “If you’re skeptical, check out this recent New York Times story heralding the chain’s first Manhattan location earlier this year. ‘The pleasures of Chickenjoy, as it’s called, are immediate: The sheath of skin is as craggy as a thunderhead, crannies, and crunch multiplying.’ Uhm, I’ll have some of that, please! Chickenjoy is served in bone-in pieces buckets, or you can opt for Chicken Dippers, which are the boneless tenders.” 

Filipino Pride

This is not the first time that the Jollibee Chickenjoy was recognized as among the best tasting fried chicken. Publications such as Foodbeast, Yahoo Singapore, and South China Morning Post have all touted it as the best-fried chicken. Jollibee was also named as among the top international food chains by publications like Thrillist and The Daily Meal. It has likewise earned the praise of the late celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, who called the brand the “wackiest, jolliest place on earth.”

Jollibee has 45 stores in the U.S. and will open more branches in Florida, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Texas, Nevada, California, and Hawaii. It also has 10 stores in Canada with plans of expanding to more branches in Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia, and Quebec this 2020.
