Chowking, the #1 Chinese quick service restaurant brand in the Philippines, has recently unveiled the all-new Spicy Chao Fan – made with the perfect blend of spices for that signature Spicy Wok-Sarap flavor. The new product was launched by celebrity actress and longtime endorser Kim Chiu at the #ShareTheSpice press event held on July 3, 2023.

This flavorful and hearty meal is ready to spice up your life, and it’s too good to not share.

At the press event last July 3, Kim Chiu introduced the #ShareTheSpice challenge, where she invited everyone to try the new Spicy Chao Fan. To join the movement, all you have to do is try the product, post about it on any social media platform with the hashtag #ShareTheSpice and #SpicyChaoFan, then tag two of your friends who you want to share the spice with. When you post and join the movement, you get the chance to win gift certificates and special prizes from Chowking!

“When we were creating the Spicy Chao Fan, we deliberately wanted it to have the right level of spice that everyone can enjoy. It’s not spicy for spicy’s sake, it has just the right Spicy Wok-Sarap kick that will leave you wanting more,” said Jonathan De Quiroz, Chowking Brand Director for Chao Fan & Brand Operations.

Looking to get your favorite meals in one place? You can now enjoy doing so as Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) opens its latest multi-brand store concept at the CityMall Bacalso in Cebu City.

Mix, match, and enjoy your favorites from Jollibee, Greenwich, Chowking, and Mang Inasal at the JFC Multi-Brand Concept (MBC) Store at CityMall Bacalso. This is the third MBC store after Bocaue and Arayat.

The 3rd multi-brand store of the country’s largest food company opened on December 1, bringing together all-time favorite meals like Jollibee’s Chickenjoy, Mang Inasal’s Chicken Inasal, Chowking’s Halo-halo, and Greenwich’s Lasagna in one place. With the multi-brand store concept, families and friends alike can feast on a wide selection of delicious food from these well-loved brands.

‘’We at JFC are always looking for ways to better serve our customers. We know that there are times when we just want to enjoy all our favorites but would end up having to choose one from the other. And with the multi-brand store concept, pwede nang i-enjoy lahat ng cravings mo from Jollibee, Mang Inasal, Chowking and Greenwich, so sure na mas masaya at masarap ang bonding time with your family and friends”, said Luis Berba, Senior Marketing Manager.

Ordering at your favorite JFC fast food restaurant is now just a chat away! Jollibee Foods Corporation and PayMaya pioneer conversational commerce with ‘cashless’ ordering chatbot

Tweet

Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) along with all of its food and restaurant brands in the country has begun piloting an interactive mobile ordering system via chatbot, with a seamless payment experience powered by PayMaya.

Customers in select areas can now use their credit, debit, or prepaid cards as well as their PayMaya e-wallet accounts to pay for their favorite food items and meals via the Facebook Messenger channels of Jollibee, Burger King, Chowking, Mang Inasal, and Red Ribbon -- which are all currently running on beta version. This will soon be available in the Facebook messenger of Greenwich as well.

All they need to do is type “#order” and send this to the Facebook chatbot of their favorite JFC restaurant, select the meal they’d like to order, pay by selecting their preferred cashless payment option, and wait for their food to be delivered in their homes.

As an added treat, customers can get up to 100% cashback when they pay using their PayMaya registered mobile number upon ordering via chatbot with a minimum spend of P500.

“As we implement more stringent safety measures in this 'new normal', the availability of PayMaya’s cashless payments solutions helps ensure that both our customers and frontliner workers are protected, while at the same time giving them a more joyful experience when they order their favorite food from any of our brands," said Jollibee Global Brand CMO, JFC Philippines Country Business Group and concurrent Jollibee PH Marketing Head Francis Flores.

Offering cashless payment options via the Facebook chatbot is just the next step in the partnership between PayMaya and JFC. In 2019, this partnership also helped pave the way for the launch of digital payments through self-ordering kiosks in Jollibee, Burger King and Chowking stores via the One by PayMaya Point-Of-Sale Device, and now has expanded its cashless payment option in 300 Jollibee stores.

“Over the past months we've seen an acceleration in the evolution of 'conversational commerce', with businesses and entrepreneurs harnessing their networks through chat apps to continue selling their products. During this time, businesses like JFC's brands need to be present where their customers are, and today most of the customers are online–so offering a wide variety of digital payment options ensures a safe and seamless ability for them to meet their business and customer needs," PayMaya President Shailesh Baidwan said.

Soon, JFC will also be rolling out PayMaya’s Digital Invoice solution when ordering online via its various brand's delivery websites or through their respective hotlines, allowing customers to receive an invoice with a payment link via SMS or email so that they can also pay using any card or using their PayMaya account.

Aside from enabling the cashless payments acceptance of various JFC brands, PayMaya has also partnered with Jollibee Group Foundation to allow them to receive donations from anywhere around the world via the #OneAgainstCOVID19 campaign website (pymy.co/jollibee) or through the Pay Bills function of the PayMaya app.

PayMaya is the only end-to-end digital payments ecosystem enabler in the Philippines with platforms and services that cuts across consumers, merchants, and government. Aside from providing the payments acceptance for the largest e-Commerce, food, retail and gas merchants in the Philippines, PayMaya is enabling national and social services agencies as well as local government units with digital payments and disbursement services.

Through its PayMaya app and wallet, it is providing millions of Filipinos with the fastest way to own a financial account with over 40,000 Add Money touchpoints nationwide, more than double the total number of traditional bank branches in the Philippines combined. Its Smart Padala by PayMaya network of over 30,000 partner agents nationwide serves as last mile digital financial hubs in communities, providing the unbanked and underserved with access to services.

Kris Aquino as newest Chowking franchisee

Tweet

Taste of success: the result of good luck and hard work

Chowking welcomes Kris Aquino as newest franchisee. Last October 29, 2014, Wednesday, the newest Chowking franchisee, Ms. Kris Aquino, talks about how to become as successful as an Empress by achieving harmony between luck and skills. 

‘Just an endorser’ no more. Today, the Philippines’ Queen of All Media will open her first Chowking franchise this November 2014, located at Ali Mall in Cubao, Quezon City.

Endorsements play a big part in Kris’ incessantly thriving career, that’s why it isn’t new to see her on TV or billboards mounted along highways all across the country. Between businesses and promotions, however, one brand seemed to harmonize well with Kris’ taste and beliefs.

“I feel that if you’re going to endorse a brand, it should be something that’s both aspirational and reachable,” says Kris. “But it’s different if it’s about being a franchisee. One should invest on something they really trust and love.

For a hardworking career mom like Kris Aquino, a woman who juggles acting, hosting, endorsing, and parenting, finding time to celebrate success seems almost impossible. But being the type of person whose passion is fueled by happiness, Kris has learned to appreciate every day wins, no matter how big or small.

From squeezing in a home-cooked meal after a long day of taping, to planning short out of town trips with her two boys, Kris makes sure to reward herself for her hard work.

“A lot of things happened this year—good and bad—but I see them all as contributors to building my character,” Kris shares. “I can say that I am really blessed with everything that has come my way so it’s important for me to find ways to celebrate every day wins.”

In spite of Kris’ triumphs, she doesn’t stop pursuing more. “I want to be successful for my kids. They keep me going.”

“That’s what I felt when I chose to partner with Chowking. Not only do I really love their food, it’s a brand I’ve found that’s comforting and one I trust that can bring me more success.”

Kris recounts how making stops at Chowking during long road trips for KrisTV tapings has been a ritual for her crew. 

“I really love their menu! Believe me, I’ve had countless takes in the shoots and the food is just irresistibly good,” she shares.

The partnership between Kris and Chowking says a lot about the trust and harmony between Kris and the largest network of Chinese restaurants nationwide—an ultimate testament of support, a clear indication that the relationship is not just for “commercials”. 

The union commenced when Kris endorsed some of the fast food’s Chinese favorites earlier this year, Chinese-Style Fried Chicken and Chunky Asado Siopao. 

A harmonious partnership

At present, Chowking currently boasts of over 400 branches in the Philippines. Some of the leading delicious Chinese favorites in their roster are the Chinese-Style Fried Chicken, Chunky Asado Siopao, Pork Chao Fan, and the Meaty Wanton Mami.

Ferns Yu, President, Chowking

“We have always served our food to satisfy and energize our customers, keeping in mind that they deserve only the best as a reward for putting in the effort to create better lives every day for themselves and for their loved ones,” says Ferns Yu, President, Chowking.

Yu notes that Kris’ practice of celebrating every day wins is in sync with the brand’s principle behind serving good food to its consumers and, ultimately, key to Chowking’s success.

“2014 has been yet another positive year for Chowking. We are aggressively renovating and opening new stores and this move with Kris is one of the best highlights of this endeavor,” says Yu. “It’s a rare opportunity to have your endorser as a franchisee. Perhaps, there’s really harmony between Kris and the brand.”

Yu adds that they knew how Kris favors home-cooked meals, as she mentioned it during the interviews they had during the shoots for the ads. “But it’s really heartwarming to know that she wouldn’t mind having a Chowking take-out to share with her family during the days that it’s really impossible for her to cook. 

“That’s why this partnership says a lot about Chowking—it complements her taste and her appreciation towards good food; and given that we are a brand that continues to grow because of hard work, we find her as the best embodiment of our success.” 

Indeed, when you see a celebrity shopping from the store of the brand he or she endorses, you could probably say that it’s an expected commendation. But when that endorser becomes a franchisee, it becomes a totally different story—a bond forged in trust and harmony.

The great Chowking feast as we try our luck, bringing us fortune and prosperity, held at the White Space, 2314 Don Chino Roces Ave. Ext., Makati City.
