CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Today, there is nothing more popular than the Food Industry is and more so remains

ever explored with ever changing taste and preferences of the market. Nevertheless, a fixture

in this market remains the popularity of fried chicken meals. First, it is for the various fried

chicken flavours available and second it is due to its cheapness and flexibility. According to

Balita (2023), for the January 2023 projection, the consumption of chicken was at 1,995

thousand metric tons, slightly higher than the previous year consumption at 1,934 thousand

metric tons; however, for production in the year 2022, Philippines meat chicken production

was 1,440 thousand metric tons. The fact that chicken is the cheapest meat amongst the two

meat sources (pork and beef). Chicken is also an integral part of Filipino culture and

considered a main byproduct of the poultry business industry in our country.

Fried chicken has become a popular dish in various cultures around the world. Its

versatility and affordability can serve the growing population. There are various competitors

in the same industry, but the main thing is if the taste will stand out. Therefore, in this

feasibility study. The proponents consist of six (6) researchers from City of Malabon

University came up with the strategies. With the focus of preparing “Crispy Chops” Flavored

Chicken Rice Bowls like Teriyaki, Buffalo, BBQ, Sweet Chili, Garlic Mayo and Honey

1.3 PROPOSED NAME OF THE PROJECT

Brand Name: Crispy Chops

Crispy Chops aims at providing the consumers with delicious Crispy Chicken with

improved types of sauces with each portion being a different yet unique kind of experience.

Our goals are to raise the visibility of innovation, variety, and quality of food. Every single

morsel of our flavored chicken should be a flavor epically treating customers to comfort with

exciting sauces that stimulate the palate. Crispy Chops deals in Crispy chicken in various

tastes that include Honey Mustard, Sweet Chili, BBQ, Garlic Mayo, Buffalo and Teriyaki.

We aim at offering the customers value through several flavors in one brand.

So, the brand name of the product should convey two important features, which are

also integrated into our brand name Crispy Chop. The first one is called “Crispy” which

focuses on the texture of chicken and tells that it is cooked and perfectly fried to get a crispy

feel the moment it is bites. Then the second word is “Chops” because this means that our

chicken indicates a kind of chopping and cooking or preparing a different taste of chicken.

1.4 TYPE OF BUSINESS

Type of Business: Single

Business Name: Crispy Chops

Crispy Chops aimed at those with an open mind in budget-friendly meals. Perfect for

students especially students in University prefer the affordable price. It is convenient to have

delicious meals, and better dining experience, featuring different options for flavors in our

Crispy Chops dishes served with rice to significantly the different preferences of

individuality.

1.5 PROJECT LOCATION

Our selected place for the business is located at BLDG block 49, 1A Pampano St.

Malabon City, 1472 Metro Manila, near the City of Malabon University campus. For that

reason, the following are the strategic reasons as to why this site has been chosen: First,

There are so many students who go out to fill up their stomachs, especially the students of

City of Malabon University. Also, the presence of other neighbouring educational institutions

established even higher visibility of the business to additional density of learners. Secondly,

tricycle drivers who are always struggling to look for cheap meals are also a target consumer.

Finally, its accessibility and the fact that it is located right off the street help new customers

notice the business.

1.6 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PROJECT

Food is a passion for Filipinos. We get along because of food, particularly at

important events like fiestas and birthdays. These days, people get together to satiate their

needs and cravings, notably millennials and members of generation Z. And it was as a result

that we had the notion of creating “Crispy Chops”.

Our Crispy Chops business is concerned with the welfare of its patrons, particularly

with regard to their ability to affordably and savour delicious food that satisfies their appetites

at a lower price. October 2024 is the official start date of our firm, which will be located at

BLDG block 49, 1A Pampano St. Malabon City, 1472 Metro Manila. This date marks the

beginning of a new chapter in our lives as entrepreneurs. The Creators and Owners of Crispy

Chops, BeeJay Arro, Javizel Eugenio, Johnlyod Leonardo, Maricar Fuentes, Jackielyn

5
Guerero, and Jonavie Casey Parama, brought this amazing concept that guarantees our

esteemed clients' contentment and happiness.

Our business Crispy Chops provides several varieties of chicken along with different

portions of the chicken served over rice in Rice Bowls. There are several other flavor options,

including Teriyaki, Buffalo, BBQ, Sweet Chili, Garlic Mayo, and Honey Mustard. The

researchers got the concept for this business idea from Unli Wings, adding new parts rather

than wings only to their product to make it more unique and reasonably priced for students

and other consumers. Customers of Crispy Chops will receive a lot of benefits; in addition to

saving money, they will also be satisfied with the low price.

In order to spread the word about our company and build a trustworthy reputation, the

marketers ran a campaign on our websites and social media. The objective was to increase

visitor numbers and in-store sales.

Additionally, chicken is becoming more and more popular among Filipinos,

particularly in Malabon City. Marketers seized the chance to give Malabonians what they

wanted. Malabon is a highly urbanized landlocked city in the National Capital Region, with a

total land area of 15.71 square kilometers, according to Philatlas. As of the 2020 census,

Malabon's population totaled 385,906 and is still growing. One of the busiest barangays in

Malabon is Barangay Longos. Furthermore, our designated target market comprises 246,200

people, or 67% of the population, who are between the ages of 15 and 64. Since there are few

competitors in the area like food-establishments in the same industry. Crispy Chops will

stand out because of the variety of options of Flavored Chicken Rice Bowls and also our

target customer can easily access our shop, we are confident that we will produce great

6
results. For those who enjoy chicken, our thorough research of the location and target market

helped us identify our competitive edge.

Crispy Chops is a company that makes its loyal clients happy. Given the proliferation

of chicken stores, it is clear that Filipinos love chicken. It is a cuisine that Filipinos like to eat

since our company offers them delicious, unique foods that they can only get from our store.

We strive to create the finest dining experience by taking into account customer tastes,

ratings, and other alternatives in our menus. In line with our mission, we want all Filipinos to

try our food, and we hope Crispy Chops will grow into a larger market and satisfy all chicken

lovers in the nation.

to our place; we are just located in BLDG Block. 49, 1A Pampano St., Malabon City, 1472

Metro Manila. Just walk (61 m). Just pass the crosswalk and turn left to the 7-11 building,

and you can taste the crispy outside, juicy inside, perfectly cooked chicken without wasting

the fare. We've got all your favorites, from classic Filipino fried chicken to flavorful and

affordable delicious chicken, and any parts of chicken you want is available. All you have to

do is choose your favorite, and then you can taste the difference between their chicken and

our crispy chops that will make your taste buds taste better than ever. We chose this place for

one reason: it gives us the opportunity to have customers like students and other people who

live in this area, and because the population in this area is continuing to expand, like in 2015-

2020 the increase of population in Longos Malabon City was 0.73%; let's say in 2020-2024 it

increased to 0.78% or 0.79% because of the expanding of the population in the specific

location of your business. It can help the business grow, or it can help our business have a

high demand, and on the other hand, because we also found out that the street foods and food

stalls located in front of the university are not enough, we decided to see if we could make

something different for the eyes and taste of those who eat here. In this place, they can't get

enough, and they will continue to be loyal to this restaurant because you can taste food that is

not only pleasing to the eyes but also to your stomach without breaking all of your pockets.

3.2 Product Description

15
Our business offers Crispy chop and tasty Chicken with Rice Bowls, where every

portion is prepared from fresh chicken cut into various pieces, ensuring that a part of the

chicken is perfectly cooked. Each chop is marinated with a number of savory sauces, thereby

granting both side and inner deep savory flavor. Then, the chicken marinated is fried until

golden brown and crispy for every juiced inside and crispy on the outside bite. Once that is

perfectly cooked, this Crispy Chop will be tossed on the sauce flavor availed for choice by

the customer, which provides a custom experience for every individual.

We have our own unique flavors to suit everyone's taste. The Honey Mustard brings a

sweet and tangy sauce with creamy texture, making it sweet and tangy with a nice balance of

flavor having a hint of tartness to it. If you like sweetness with a bit of spice, Sweet Chili will

bring enough heat to get you going without overstepping the mark. For those who love classic

rich flavors, smoky and sweet define the BBQ flavor. Our Garlic Mayo option is creamy

mayo infused with garlic, lightly savory for those who like a garlicky finish, while Buffalo

sauce provides bolder flavors that bring the spicy, tangy crunch, and Teriyaki is delightfully

sweet and savory Japanese with just the right balance of soy sauce to sweetness.

Outside of dine-in, we have our take-out options for customers who want to enjoy our

Chicken Crispy Chop with Rice Bowls at the comfort of their very own area. For all our take-

out orders, we make sure they are hot and crispy to pack with the flavor that forms a holistic

and delicious bite.
