I was able to get a taste of Popoy’s Grill. The pork barbeque was comparable (or maybe even better than) Grill Queen. The price was definitely a plus – Grill Queen Barbeque is P14, this one is only P12. They offered a small 5-peso pork barbeque aside from Vigan Longaniza, Chicken, Porkchop, Bangus and Tilpia – all grilled, of course. The restaurant offered some nice “combo” packs – you could get a set of pork barbeques with either a grande beer of 1.5-liter softdrink like coke/pepsi.

Franchising costs, at present, is estimated to be P100,000-200,000. As I understand, a small cart franchise was P100,000 – but you could augment it depending on what is required. This particular franchisee we visited had a cart setup within a small house-turned-restaurant. They included tables and chairs for dine-in orders. The cheapest meal was a P19 pack with 2 pieces of the small 5-peso barbeque with rice and drink.

Estimated daily sales amounted to P3000-P4000. In a month, that would
be almost 90-120 thousand pesos. Say half of that goes to expenses, you
get at least P50,000. My friend interviewed the franchisee and was
informed that the lowest daily income they’ve had so far was P2,500.

Bong, our contact from Popoy’s Grill, was easy to talk to and really
knew his stuff. He seems to have been in this business for a while. He
explained that there is no actual Popoy – he’s just a fictional person
to represent the Pinoy image/brand they wanted to market.

If you are considering going into business, take a serious look at Popoy’s Grill.

[Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with Popoy's Grill. I don't get
income from referring them. I just tell you what I think of what has
been presented to me... and I just happened to really like barbeques.]
