Jollibee became the main rival of Mcdonalds both in the PH & international fastfood market. Back in the 80's when Mcdonalds started in the PH, they thought filipinos liked the american taste of Mcdonalds, but they were wrong. Meanwhile Jollibee listened to its local customers and gave them they want. Jollibee catered to local tastes in the PH and Mcdonalds didn't do that back in the day. Because Mcdonald's were too focused on the demands of the american market. They thought this will work on other countries and it backfired on them. Jollibee did a very good job on listening to its customers.
When I was a kid in the early 2000s, an American was complaining why McDonalds wasn't serving chips here in the Philippines and it got so bad, he was arguing already with a manager. He was really trying hard to be a Karen, even before the term was coined. Though, I never stayed to know what the outcome was eventually. McDonalds adapted quickly enough to adjust to the local population's preferences, even removing menus Americans like because it wouldn't sell here.
@Dangic23 I agree, the whopper by far is the best, I don't know how patties taste on their own because I don't eat them that way and I don't think it's fair to judge them that way since the full burger is the final product. It's like judging a car by the engine only. I can't say which burger is better between McDonald's and jollibee because the burgers they have here are completely inedible in my opinion, I always just feed them to my dogs. The yum burger just tastes bad and the bigmac is just ok
@@dqdq4083 I taste the patty to see if the company has put any effort into their product. That’s the base. The toppings are the same everywhere. I remember 10 years ago asking the 5 Guys manager at a local spot about what they put in their patties. He said nothing, not even salt/pepper. lol I couldn’t believe it.
WRONG (or partially wrong)! It is those that grew up from its taste! Yum burger's sauce is magnificent. The mellow touch and taste is to die for. The Chicken Joy's seasoning makes the entire piece of chicken 100x better than KFC's. And the Peach Mango Pie, the filling, the crust, the smell, and the texture----IT IS JUST THE BEST

The thing is that Jollibee have always been a place for families and their kids to enjoy and eat food together. Jollibee just never lost that on their stores from their food choices to the color and interior design of its stores. The place just brightens you up. McDonalds *used* to be like that as well until it went full corpo. You can clearly see it on interior design of newly built/renovated McDonalds stores. McDonalds *used* to be designed to be a colorful playful place for families to enjoy and eat food together with playgrounds but now every time I enter any McDonalds it feels like I'm walking on a bland company cafeteria. As someone who used to love celebrating my birthdays in McDonalds when I was a kid, it's really disappointing.
Oh yeah, McDonalds is trying to be all "cool and hip and modern" like Starbucks with their McCafe. Now its just competing with both Joliibee and Starbucks at the same time.
Yeah, Jollibee is loved in the Philippines to the point that some families will have a party for their toddlers and babies just for them to have a first taste of Jollibee.
Jollibee conquers the heart of the children in the Philippines, they have lot of children songs that make's the children happy and singalong. Many children cries when they saw Jollibee on the road, even some parents that could not afford to go there would cry because they cannot give that burger to their child. But now, Filipinos grew to Jollibee and became a culture to go along. I even walk along with my kids to take a breakfast to Jollibee in Blumenttrit which is memorable to me as a father where your kids would request to eat in Jollibee. When the kids celebrating their basketball team wins a game. Its Jollibee time. And we sing " I love you Sabado, pati na rin Linggo..." that is Jollibee it reflects the Filipino Culture, they sing and dance, enjoy and smile. It is part of our growing with family and a lot of memory to cherish!
With my experience in both places, I'd say Jollibee feels more like a restaurant than a fast food chain. The color and lighting feel warmer, the vibe is more friendly, the mascot feels more homey and the staff is usually friendlier and more engaging. Please note I am biased, but this is my observation... the whole vibe of Jollibee was and still is a family place where you see couples, friends and family gather and have fun in while eating decent food. And that for me makes all the difference
Filipinos are everywhere, like me I’m here in Calgary Alberta 🇨🇦. it is our pride to visit or experience our own brand from our country. in times of our cravings for Jollibee we can drive or travel in two nearest branch in our area. and the best thing experience is when you see locals like Canadians or other nationalities, they dine in or take out any Jollibee foods esp, fried chicken or spaghetti . ❤❤🇨🇦🇨🇦🇵🇭🇵🇭
Yes, I saw Tim Horton’s in Metro Manila this past July, but no chance to try it out. But I am pleased to say that we did visit Jollibee in Toronto when we decided to visit on the way back to Wisconsin from Upstate New York
My very first job with Jollibee in the late 80's was to count customers entering McDonald's and Jollibee. Jollibee was already doing analytics way before it became fashionable.
Chickenjoy all the way!! I live in the Netherlands and we dont have Jollibee here, yet. So the last Jollibee I had was in Rome, Italy last September when we went there for vacation. I am eagerly waiting for a Jollibee here.
The thing about Jollibee is that it managed to waive itself to the generational nostalgia and culture of the masses. The nostalgia of having your childhood birthdays or a simple after-mass Sunday gig with family is hard to beat.
Add to that the Coke Float as well haha and while Chicken is a no brainer for Jolibee BUT McDo also will never beat the freakin Choco/Coffee float of Jolibee BUT at the same time Jolibee can never beat the madapaking cheese pandesal of god from McDo 😂 unfortunate its only available during breakfast
There is no bankruptcy of Jollibee around the world,because we Filipinos support each other wherever our famous cultural fast-food ( At home sa Jollibee).We treat Jollibee like our home .So in general the menus are really intended for our taste Filipino living overseas.We patronised our own Filipino fast-food for family gatherings and bounding.
McDonald's: Hey, Jollibee, heard you’ve been trying to steal my crown. Jollibee: Steal? Nah, I just brought extra crispy to the table. You can keep the fries I'll take the fans. McDonald's: You know, I invented the Happy Meal, right? Jollibee: Oh, cute. But I invented happiness in a bucket. Fried chicken bucket, that is. McDonald's: Alright, but I’m global. I’ve got billions of fans! Jollibee: And I’ve got flavor it’s a worldwide phenomenon, sweetie. Keep your billions, I’ll take the taste test. McDonald's: But my Big Mac is legendary! Jollibee: Legendary? Honey, I am the legend. You just… make people hungry. McDonald's: Whatever, Jollibee. I’m lovin’ it. Jollibee: And I’m livin’ for it with extra gravy.
McDonald's is doing better now by focusing on aesthetics. Jollibee would need to avoid shrinking portions and older branches should also renovate to keep dominance.
This comment that I want to see. Not only the nostalgia of their past experience with Jollibee, I've grown up with Jollibee since I was a kid, Jollibee now was worse and menu items suck because Jollibee is overconfident that they didn't lose customers But man, these Jollibee in other countries are better than the local (PH) ones,
Except for fries, I can't justify going to McD anywhere in SEA, Burger King despite slightly pricier is far better if you seek a burger. Jollibee is a cool chain, hope they open in more countries like Indonesia and Thailand.
I worked in both of these fast food giants. Jollibee Sucat Paranaque in the Philippines (1995), McDonald's Glorietta 3 Makati City in the Philippines 1998-2002), and McDonald's in Alberta, Canada (2013-2015). I love them both and they are dear to me. But I would choose chickenjoy over big mac when it comes for a meal.
Jollibee knows Filipino taste while McDonald's has American taste which lacks spices. That's why McDonald's made adjustments in their recipes and adapted to Filipino taste.
Jollibee is not just a fast food. That is where families celebrate their birthdays, graduation, even heart breaks. It does not feel the same in McDonald's. It is a home for us.
McDonald’s service suck here in the US. Not surprised why Jollibee would overtake them when it comes to popularity. Good service and good tasting food.
My favorite food since then is the burger steak i always order that..Jollibee is still my no.1 favorite fastfood since my younger days until now & never will relinquish on top as the no.1 fastfood in the Philippines 🇵🇭..i'm proud to be a Filipino. 😊❤
They are both good for me... sometimes i want Jolibee and somedays i want Mcdonalds Jolibee food corp has a marketing strategy that Mcdonalds lack, he now owns Inasal, Greenwich, Goldilocks, Red Ribbon Jolibee is now domineering the US Market
I think jollibee outperforms mcdonalds because jollibee does not mainly sell food, they sell emotions or nostalgia. In the Philippines, it's common for kids to be taken by their parents/guardian to jollibee after graduation or a big milestone. On top of that, jollibee produces top notch tv commercials that depicts strong feelings of emotions.
6:48 Just for context: Yes the Philippines had indeed been occupied by the US for forty-eight years, but that ended in 1946, a full thirty-five years before McDonalds ever entered the country.
Lately, Jollibee has been criticized by some in PH due to worsening food quality and quantity. Seems to us that Jollibee prioritized overseas operations too much that it neglected its local ops
I grew up liking Mcdonalds during the 90’s. Our house is just 2 blocks away from Mcdo. I enjoyed the nuggets fries and burgers all the time. Unfortunately J’Bee is not part of my childhood. 25 years later I relocated my permanent address and Mcdonalds is just a block away from home LOL 😂😂 Now my boys fave are J’Bee chickenjoys
Because McDonald’s burgers and French fries in the Philippines are not as good as in the US. But I would be very happy if there are more Jollies branches in the USA.
If things keep up, MCdonalds will eventually beat Jollibee. Because Jollibee's stores in the Philippines is starting to lag in regards to food quality. Food portions are getting quite small. While prices are keep getting higher.
I just want to point out to anyone who isn't experiencing Jollibee in the Philippines that they shouldn't listen to the comment I'm replying to. ChickenJoy is bigger than ever, the service is fast and always quality and if Jollibee sees price increases due to inflation, McDonald's does as well. There are areas of Philippines where there are Jollibees across the street from each other, malls that have two or more Jollibees inside them and always, and I mean ALWAYS, there are people in line to purchase food. And of course if you simply ask the average Filipino or compare the two restaurants side by side, it is clear who is winning and even with all of the advertising money McDonald's is spending in the area, from my own eyesight, they are not even close to catching up. Personally, even if I just stay in my condo complex, I see people carrying Jollibee bags 3-5 times each day and I see a McDonald's bag maybe once or twice each week.
Your statement is not factual and is not supported by stats. Jollibee is very dominant in the Philippines in terms of sales and food quality. Did you even watch the video? Jollibee was voted as the best chicken in the U.S.. It was also reported in major news channels there. If you think Mcdonalds is better, it's fine because it's your preference but it doesn't mean that it's the opinion of the majority.
@@StriderVM wtf, I had spicy chickenjoy last week and it was as big as I've ever seen a piece of thigh, are you suggesting chickens in the US are double the size as the ones in PH? Crazy. I should go back to the US
@@StriderVM Recap on what you said: 1.Mcdonalds will eventually beat Jollibee- sales in the Philippines say otherwise, hence, I said your statement is not based on facts and not supported by stats. 2.Jollibee stores in the Phils lag in quality- to which I replied Jollibee was named the best chicken in the U.S.. In case you are not aware, Jollibee serves the same chicken flavor in the Phils. and the U.S.hence, my reply addressed what you said about food quality. 3. Jollibee in the Philippines serves half the size as what they serve in the U.S.- it's because Jollibee in the U.S. needs to adjust to their audience because Americans are used to big servings. Also, Jollibee is pricier in the U.S. than in the Philippines so the Americans need to see that it's worth their bucks. Incidentally, while replying to you here, I just had Jollibee delivered and they did not decrease their food serving contrary to your claim.
In the PH, any Jollibee will cost less than McDo. I feel that's what made them VERY accessible. And also, parents do this "You want Jollibee?" question to their kids. I think this is instinctively too. I instinctively go to Jollibee too, it's just more money friendly.
I went to Jollibee once and never want to go again. They use very old oil and only have legs and thighs. They had no wings or beast pieces. I still prefer McDonald’s.
Here in the Philippines McDonald's open a site right next to Jollibee. Jollibee is bright welcoming, fully decorated for Christmas, McDonald's is dark colors, very little decoration, you just want to go to the happy place. Former McDonald's manager.
McDonald's in the Philippines is now targeting the thing that makes Jolibee successful, and that is their Fried Chicken (yes it's a pH thing 😅). Their new bigger and tastier chicken is sweeping the nation and truly goes toe to toe with the mighty Chickenjoy.
If Jollibee had kept their cris-cut fries as a permanent option in their menu then I would choose their fries over McDo. Those things were tasty and crispy while served at a reasonable amount for its price. Back when it was available, we kept ordering it at least 3 times a week. Now that they are back to only having regular fries, McDo easily beats them. Their taste don't differ that much in my opinion but McDo serving more fries per order (nearly twice that of Jollibee's) and having the option to add flavor powders gives them a clear advantage.
Good for them . Their chicken tastes better than Kentucky. Their burger is better than McDonald but I never like those burgers anyway lol I go to In and Out for quick burgers.😊 I’m not a fan of the spaghetti lol 😂, I’m glad a shop opened nearby but no halo-halo! I do recook the chicken , though, it tends to to be undercooked 🤔
Admin you forget one acquisition of jollibee mang inasal a local fast food chain famous on grilled chicken and unli rice Tony Tan Caktiong is a representation of hardwork,dedication and vision Mc Donalds is a close competition of jollibee it will not waver Like And Share Done
One problem for McDonald's in the philippines is the designed of the store / restaurant, they are designed to look modern and on high-end side which is a bit uncomfortable for simple or lower income filipinos while jolibee stores are designed to be more accommodating on majority of Filipinos.
another strategy that JFC applied is to "corner" every McDonalds branch with other dining options by locating Jollibee within the same vicinity and setting up other JFC affiliate Mang Inasal, Chowking, Burger King and Greenwich Pizza nearby.
It's because Mcdo doesn't suit our taste buds. I only like their chicken fillet. I don't know why Mcdo is dominant in other countries. Edit: I didn't even know that my reason was right because I just started commenting before the video started playing.

Not in the international food market. You're delusional

We are Different tastes are liked but Filipino are love Sweet. That's why Jollebee are adjusting the Spaghetti taste based on Filipino love Taste 🇵🇭😊
I think jollibee outperforms mcdonalds because jollibee does not mainly sell food, they sell emotions or nostalgia. In the Philippines, it's common for kids to be taken by their parents/guardian to jollibee after graduation or a big milestone. On top of that, jollibee produces top notch tv commercials that depicts strong feelings of emotions.
In marketing we call it pester power
Jollibee is part of childhood and family memories... That's why.
I look forward to trying Jollibees some day!
I Love McDo's french fries and Gravy but when it comes to spicy chicken and spaghetti I love ❤ jollibee.
The jollibee chicken skin is crispy, kfc chicken breading is crispy. I prefer jollibee
6:48 Just for context: Yes the Philippines had indeed been occupied by the US for forty-eight years, but that ended in 1946, a full thirty-five years before McDonalds ever entered the country.
Chicken joy of course! Nothing but the best! Jollibee is rooted in every heart of many Filipinos all around the globe.
There is a Jollibee near my job and I love it 🥰
Spicy chicken, spaghetti, adobo rice, and peach mamgo pie. 1000 times better than anything on McD's menu.
Lately, Jollibee has been criticized by some in PH due to worsening food quality and quantity. Seems to us that Jollibee prioritized overseas operations too much that it neglected its local ops
Brunei also jollibee is dominant
Try Jollibee spring rolls, Banana Langka rolls and tropical sundaes.
All new goodies from Jollibee. 🐝❤️🇵🇭
it boils down to "panlasang pinoy" is what I think why it is successful
I never had Jollibee in my life! I wish we have some here too in oregon USA 🇺🇸
Chicken Joy is #1
Jollibee is Certified Filipino Company which can dominate accross the world
I grew up liking Mcdonalds during the 90’s. Our house is just 2 blocks away from Mcdo. I enjoyed the nuggets fries and burgers all the time. Unfortunately J’Bee is not part of my childhood. 25 years later I relocated my permanent address and Mcdonalds is just a block away from home LOL 😂😂 Now my boys fave are J’Bee chickenjoys
I love seeing this Jollibee mascot since I was a child. I see Jollibee mascot like a celebrity back then. ha ha ha ha
Because McDonald’s burgers and French fries in the Philippines are not as good as in the US. But I would be very happy if there are more Jollies branches in the USA.
If things keep up, MCdonalds will eventually beat Jollibee. Because Jollibee's stores in the Philippines is starting to lag in regards to food quality. Food portions are getting quite small. While prices are keep getting higher.
I just want to point out to anyone who isn't experiencing Jollibee in the Philippines that they shouldn't listen to the comment I'm replying to. ChickenJoy is bigger than ever, the service is fast and always quality and if Jollibee sees price increases due to inflation, McDonald's does as well.
There are areas of Philippines where there are Jollibees across the street from each other, malls that have two or more Jollibees inside them and always, and I mean ALWAYS, there are people in line to purchase food.
And of course if you simply ask the average Filipino or compare the two restaurants side by side, it is clear who is winning and even with all of the advertising money McDonald's is spending in the area, from my own eyesight, they are not even close to catching up.
Personally, even if I just stay in my condo complex, I see people carrying Jollibee bags 3-5 times each day and I see a McDonald's bag maybe once or twice each week.
Your statement is not factual and is not supported by stats. Jollibee is very dominant in the Philippines in terms of sales and food quality. Did you even watch the video? Jollibee was voted as the best chicken in the U.S.. It was also reported in major news channels there. If you think Mcdonalds is better, it's fine because it's your preference but it doesn't mean that it's the opinion of the majority.
@ronbaltazar8773 Thats the US. Have you seen the Chicken sizes in Jollibee in the Philippines, its almost half the size as in the US portion.
@@StriderVM wtf, I had spicy chickenjoy last week and it was as big as I've ever seen a piece of thigh, are you suggesting chickens in the US are double the size as the ones in PH? Crazy. I should go back to the US
@@StriderVM Recap on what you said:
1.Mcdonalds will eventually beat Jollibee- sales in the Philippines say otherwise, hence, I said your statement is not based on facts and not supported by stats.
2.Jollibee stores in the Phils lag in quality- to which I replied Jollibee was named the best chicken in the U.S.. In case you are not aware, Jollibee serves the same chicken flavor in the Phils. and the U.S.hence, my reply addressed what you said about food quality.
3. Jollibee in the Philippines serves half the size as what they serve in the U.S.- it's because Jollibee in the U.S. needs to adjust to their audience because Americans are used to big servings. Also, Jollibee is pricier in the U.S. than in the Philippines so the Americans need to see that it's worth their bucks.
Incidentally, while replying to you here, I just had Jollibee delivered and they did not decrease their food serving contrary to your claim.
I love chickenjoy, but I prefer mcdos burger and fries better than jollibee. Peach mango > Apple Pie
I prefer chickenjoy than the burger 😂 I am on my 40s now and Jollibee is still our go to fast food chain! 🐝 ❤
here in the Phil. the children love Jollibee.. they love the mascoat
nice information.. background music is irritating tho😅
I'm Filipino and though I also like Jollibee, I prefer McDonald's.
Same, the burgers at Jollibee are meh, all they got is the chicken.
I only like the fries on Mcdonalds and everything is "meh" even the spaghetti doesn't hit and chicken
jollibe feels like home, i like that
In the PH, any Jollibee will cost less than McDo. I feel that's what made them VERY accessible. And also, parents do this "You want Jollibee?" question to their kids. I think this is instinctively too. I instinctively go to Jollibee too, it's just more money friendly.
I would agree with you back in the years back. But now, i felt Jollibee is expensive due to inflation…
McDonald's isn't dying in Philippines though, it just couldn't catch up with Jollibee
Sabi nga " Pag may Jollibee may Mcdo sa tabi "
English: If there's Jollibee there's Mcdonalds in the side
I'm still eating Macdonalds coz it's cheaper than Jollibee in my area. Jollibee for me has always been somewhat expensive here in the Philippines
burgers in mcdo are 45 while jollibee is 40 XD
The best the flavor,texture and the good services
Jollibee hands down! Jollibee's chicken is insanely gooooooood
I remembered in 90’s Mcdonalds is the no. 1 in the Phil, because of the disney Happy meals toys. I wish they bring back those things
I went to Jollibee once and never want to go again. They use very old oil and only have legs and thighs. They had no wings or beast pieces. I still prefer McDonald’s.
Same. McDonald's better IMO.
Here in the Philippines McDonald's open a site right next to Jollibee. Jollibee is bright welcoming, fully decorated for Christmas, McDonald's is dark colors, very little decoration, you just want to go to the happy place. Former McDonald's manager.
since we are kids jollibee is a treat when we go to church or celebrate something , its more like a tradition now
In my School's Christmas Party the Jollibee staff is coming to my School
CHICKENJOY AND SPAGHETTI FOR ME. ❤❤❤
McDonald's in the Philippines is now targeting the thing that makes Jolibee successful, and that is their Fried Chicken (yes it's a pH thing 😅). Their new bigger and tastier chicken is sweeping the nation and truly goes toe to toe with the mighty Chickenjoy.
Can you volume up the background music next time? i barely hear it from this video!
Im a grown man, and the clown terrifies me. Id pick the hyperactive bee any day of the week. 😅
If Jollibee had kept their cris-cut fries as a permanent option in their menu then I would choose their fries over McDo. Those things were tasty and crispy while served at a reasonable amount for its price. Back when it was available, we kept ordering it at least 3 times a week.
Now that they are back to only having regular fries, McDo easily beats them. Their taste don't differ that much in my opinion but McDo serving more fries per order (nearly twice that of Jollibee's) and having the option to add flavor powders gives them a clear advantage.
Come to Colorado!
And open jollimcdo???
Two World class fast food chains. The winner is the customer because of the variety of food choices.
We’ll here in NYC, they don’t have a $5 meal deal.
Good for them . Their chicken tastes better than Kentucky. Their burger is better than McDonald but I never like those burgers anyway lol I go to In and Out for quick burgers.😊
I’m not a fan of the spaghetti lol 😂, I’m glad a shop opened nearby but no halo-halo!
I do recook the chicken , though, it tends to to be undercooked 🤔
I buy Palabok and chicken in Jollibee Fish fillets sandwich in McDo their coffee too is very good
Admin you forget one acquisition of jollibee mang inasal a local fast food chain famous on grilled chicken and unli rice
Tony Tan Caktiong is a representation of hardwork,dedication and vision
Mc Donalds is a close competition of jollibee it will not waver
Like And Share Done
Nice docu, however need more footage, visuals are so repetitive.
One problem for McDonald's in the philippines is the designed of the store / restaurant, they are designed to look modern and on high-end side which is a bit uncomfortable for simple or lower income filipinos while jolibee stores are designed to be more accommodating on majority of Filipinos.
No matter what you say I still go for Mc Donalds!
I have been comparing the 2 now and then
But i really miss the taste of jollibbee
another strategy that JFC applied is to "corner" every McDonalds branch with other dining options by locating Jollibee within the same vicinity and setting up other JFC affiliate Mang Inasal, Chowking, Burger King and Greenwich Pizza nearby.
Jollibee prepares food that suits Filipino taste buds.....many dislike sweet Filipino spaghetti but we like much.
It's because Mcdo doesn't suit our taste buds. I only like their chicken fillet. I don't know why Mcdo is dominant in other countries.
Edit: I didn't even know that my reason was right because I just started commenting before the video started playing.
