Dito sa Singapore wala din Jollibee but some entrepreneurial Pinoys created a stall somewhere in the CBD with the name Happy Bee; logo nila bee din. Ang fried chicken nila tasted like Jollibee as well. For whatever reason they changed their name in Happy Vee... ehehehe!!

@LokiJr@aldousnow it's not that maybe..sobrang mahal na kasi ng franchise ng jollibee ngayon.. so if someone what's to bring jollibee here dapat may capital talaga.
and nasa clause po ng jollibee aside sa franchise fee.. whoever wants to franchise dapat may own property kasi di po kasali ang rental ng place ang franchise (only training/ equipment/ food) property dapat po sagot pa yun ng franchisee..
baka dito sa forum..may maraming capital.. franchise naman po kayo ng jollibee:D

Just started working for 1 week now. my first day I thought like in sg all people mostly eat outside. But here no, some aussies bring their own food health conscious sila mostly kinakain nila salad chicken gnun. Tho matataba or chubby paden sila hehe.
If you eat fastfood here, its cheap if you buy from fastfood, cheeseburger meal at mcdo is $4.50, subway meal $8. a sub is only $4.95 if its not a meal so its still reasonable.
The expensive thing here is drinks in sg its like $1 sgd here drinks outside is expensive $3-4 aud.

Jollibee po mismo magdadala dito sa AU... not a franchisee... Kung gugustuhin nila kaya nila gawin yun...
pero ayun sa aking bubwit... hindi daw makapasa sa standard ng AU pagdating sa food ang Jollibee kaya nde sila makapaglagay ng store dito....which proves na mataas ang standard ng AU pagdating sa food at mababa ang standard ng Jollibee aaawwww hehehe...
secret lang yan ha, ayun sa aking insider reporter

@icebreaker1928 i would beg to differ about food standard..have you guys been to chinatown? or to haymarket in sydney??
if mataas ang standard ng AU and mababa ang standard ng jollibee.. then i think there is something seriously wrong happening in chinatown :P
jollibee can do it on their own.. but some of their stores in california, USA are franchises... so i think they prefer it that way.. maximize profit/ lower cost for them.

ayan ha..if you win the tuesday lotto..for sure you can afford the jollibee franchise fee:D hehehee! good luck po!!!:D

simulan mo na mag-ipon @aldousnow para may chickenjoy na sa Australia pagdating ko diyan haha...
But seriously, Mr. Tony Tan Caktiong should establish some branches in Australia...andami na rin kayang Pinoy diyan at karamihan pa wala nang balak umuwi ng Pinas hehehe
@LokiJr malabo talaga pre... ilang beses na silang nag-attempt... hindi talaga sila makapasa sa standard ng AU... ayon sa aking insider report... nde daw maganda or nde makapasa yung oil na ginagamit nilang pamprito... kung papalitan daw nila yung oil, hindi ma-aachieve yung crispyness ng chicken..
LokiJrQuezon City Posts: 2,616Member, Moderator Joined: Jan 13, 2011
Hehe parang kadiri yung ginagamit nilang cooking oil a...kung yun yung naging problema sana di na lang sila magbenta ng chickenjoy...Kahit jollibee palabok at champ lang ibenta nila sa Australia solb na! hehe

We've been to Footscray. Halo-halo na Asian pero karamihan Vietnamese. Pero meron isang mini grocery dun na ang tawag is Manila in Footscray. Nakakatuwa makakakita ng pinoy products kaya lang ang mahal ng benta. But that's expected na.

Revisiting this thread I created last yr:
2 months into my work, I have always bring baon with me more than 90% of the time... It is cheaper to cook and bring your own rather than eating out which would cost at least $7 here in Melbourne.

Yeah same with @TasBurrfoot most of the time nagbabaon din, pero paminsan minsan kain din sa labas and for me mga minimum $10 din yun unless trip ko magpizza $4.95 sa Value Pizza ng Dominos Mon-Wed.

I heard from an old forumer na kaya walang franchise ang jollibee dito e gusto nila sa pinas manggagaling ang workers ( para mura ) which inde pumayag ang AUS, syempre they would prefer locals
back to the topic ... baon ako lagi ... kung tinopak at walang pagkain no choice e lunch out ...
ayon naman sa tsismis na nasagap ko... nde daw makapasa ang standard ng jollibee dito dahil sa mantika na gamit nila... pag pinalitan naman daw nila yung mantika hindi ma aachieve yung crispyness ng chickenjoy
on topic... nagbabaon din ako.. OP ako pag nde nagbaon e.. lahat sila may baon hehe.

and nasa clause po ng jollibee aside sa franchise fee.. whoever wants to franchise dapat may own property kasi di po kasali ang rental ng place ang franchise (only training/ equipment/ food) property dapat po sagot pa yun ng franchisee..
baka dito sa forum..may maraming capital.. franchise naman po kayo ng jollibee:D

If you eat fastfood here, its cheap if you buy from fastfood, cheeseburger meal at mcdo is $4.50, subway meal $8. a sub is only $4.95 if its not a meal so its still reasonable.
The expensive thing here is drinks in sg its like $1 sgd here drinks outside is expensive $3-4 aud.

Kung gugustuhin nila kaya nila gawin yun...
pero ayun sa aking bubwit... hindi daw makapasa sa standard ng AU pagdating sa food ang Jollibee kaya nde sila makapaglagay ng store dito....which proves na mataas ang standard ng AU pagdating sa food at mababa ang standard ng Jollibee aaawwww hehehe...
secret lang yan ha, ayun sa aking insider reporter

if mataas ang standard ng AU and mababa ang standard ng jollibee.. then i think there is something seriously wrong happening in chinatown :P
jollibee can do it on their own.. but some of their stores in california, USA are franchises... so i think they prefer it that way.. maximize profit/ lower cost for them.

hindi talaga sila makapasa sa standard ng AU...
ayon sa aking insider report... nde daw maganda or nde makapasa yung oil na ginagamit nilang pamprito...
kung papalitan daw nila yung oil, hindi ma-aachieve yung crispyness ng chicken..
