RP's fastest growing fastfood chain to close 2010 with 330 branches

MANILA, Philippines - Mang Inasal Philippines recently opened its 300th Mang Inasal outlet at the SM Mall of Asia. The company said it is on track to end 2010 with a total of 330 outlets across the Philippines, and 500 by end-2012.

“Most of our expansion now will be in the provinces, particularly in Luzon and Mindanao,” said Edgar “Injap” Sia II, Mang Inasal Philippines chairman and CEO, “We plan to open outlets in places as far as Aparri and Tawi-Tawi.”

Sia is a staunch advocate of the Globe Negostar — a program of Globe Business that enables and empowers small and medium-scale entrepreneurs to grow their businesses using relevant, cost-effective and efficient information and communication services.

“If not for the efficient and reliable services of Globe, I would not have managed to expand Mang Inasal as rapidly as we did in the past seven years,” said Sia, “Through my Negostar Deal Biz Loop 99, which offers unlimited talk to my calling circle such as employees, franchisees and suppliers at just P99 a month, we are able to have significant cost savings which allow us to offer our customers more affordable meals.”

Manny Aligada, head of the Corporate and SME (Small and Medium Enterprises) Segments at Globe Business, added that Globe Negostar are designed specifically for the needs of SMEs for ICT solutions that help them cut on cost of operations and boost productivity.

“We don’t just treat clients as mere customers but partners in nurturing their ventures into dynamic and competitive businesses,” explained Aligada, “We are happy that partners like Mang Inasal have made Globe Business’ communication-based business tools to their advantage.”

Globe Negostar also offers Biz Laptop Bundle, the affordable broadband and laptop deal of Globe Business, allows businessmen to avail of a Netbook for only P399/month with a broadband postpaid subscription. It also provides an easy-to-use complete solution for supply chain management with its Inventory Ordering System (IOS). Best for businesses that operate multiple sites, IOS enables inventory and sales monitoring, automated invoicing, and procurement, as well as allows orders and reports via SMS or web, all in a simple web-based and self-service setup.

GPS Tracker is an innovative Globe Business solution that will give SMEs, especially those in the delivery and logistic business the ability to monitor their vehicles in real-time using the Global Positioning System (GPS). With the GPS Tracker, SMEs are assured of increased protection for their assets and products as they are able to monitor and know the exact location of their trucks and cargo en route to their destinations.

Another Globe Negostar product is WebEye — a service that enables SMEs to watch and monitor their various sites anytime and anywhere.
