*Jozzua | The Magnificent TechnopreneurA look at Popoy’s Grill Franchise - Philippines
Posted by Jozzua on Feb 6, 2006 in Uncategorized • 23 commentsI 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.

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.]
[...] April jozzua09:07 amAdd comment So I asked my friend what has happened with the Popoy’s grill franchise plans. She tells me that she’s already submitted a place in Sampaloc. The folk’s at popoy’s grill should give him feedback in the form of an initial marketing study of the proposed area. So far, she hasn’t heard anything from the company. She has tried several times to call them, but her contact seems to be out of Manila - which is now somehat frustrating her. [...]

Lad Agustin,
I’ve yet to get back the 5k deposit that i gave you. It’s been a year already. What is your email add? you didn’t post it.
Pls send details of your franchise packages at my email: imee_0203@yahoo.com Thanks!
Imee, it’s a bad idea to publicly display your email. You are sure to get a lot of spam. There are spam bots out in the web that automatically harvest emails online.
Lad Agustin, you guys should get your own website. Check out this site - wwww.annexstore.com. YOu could be getting a lot more franchisees online.

Mr. Lad. I would to inform you to pay your UTANG to sjl printing., Its been more than 1 year looking for your addres but still your compony deny your obligation to pay . We been fax all the invoices but when you received all the record you cutt of your telephone. Mr. Lad pls., pay naman pinaghirapan po namin yon ng walang tulugan. pls. pls. pls.
This is a true testimonial from the owner of Popoy’s Grill T Morato branch. If you wish to verify the veracity of my statements, you can come and visit my branch and I’ll tell you everything in detail and show you proof. If you are unable to do visit me, you can email me at popoys.grill.t.morato@gmail.com.
This is a warning to those planning to get a franchise. I do not want anyone else to fall into the same trap that they used on me and my franchise.
Be sure that you clarify with LAD and TINA AGUSTIN that all terms and company policies be indicated in the Franchise Agreement. They will trap you into signing the agreement first, then they tell you that they WILL NOT RELEASE the Franchise Agreement if you do not issue 24 post dated checks for the Monthly Continuous Development Fee (PhP2,500 a month) as a matter of “company policy”.
Said “company policy” is not included in the Franchise Agreement that you signed, but is merely mentioned (in passing) during the orientation seminar.
When you try to talk to them sensibly, you will be passed around from BECK, to TINA, then finally LAD will try to threaten you with their “Legal Department”. If you still do not comply, they will refuse to deliver stocks, forcing you to get stocks from other sources to keep your business open. At this point, they send CYRUS to your location and he will then threaten to terminate your franchise. What are you supposed to do now? With your Franchise agreement hostage, you cant get permits either.
This is a blatant display of un-professionalism in the highest degree. This is why I am considering terminating my franchise with them after consultation with my legal counsel.
Think twice, thrice, ten times, before you hand over your hard earned money to these people. You would not want to undergo what I’ve been through.
