INTRODUCTION
Industry Profile
Gibbs Hot Wings is in the food service industry. According to the 2015 Annual
Survey of Philippine Business and Industry (ASPBI) released by the Philippine Statistics
Authority (PSA) in October 2018, there are 27,028 establishments that engage in
accommodation and food service activities, with restaurants in the lead at 6,652
establishments in total (24.6% of the total number of establishments). Fast food chains
kiosks, and counters at 3,772 establishments (14%). The report also shows that the food
service industry has generated a lot of income; in fact, the food service industry has a
total income of PHP 471.3 billion. Restaurants are the major contributors, with a total
income of PHP 158.1 billion (33.5%); fast food chains contribute PHP 144.8 billion
(30.7%).
This figure shows that the food service industry is definitely booming and it
continues to improve through the years. The food service industry, as observed, is
strongly influenced by the current fast-paced lifestyle of Filipinos in the country. With
the increasing purchasing power of the consumers today, the demand for convenience has
also become stronger, which has establishments in the food service industry expanding
Euromonitor International, chicken fast food was the strongest retail format in 2016, with
a growth rate of 8% and a total global sales of $65.6 billion. Chicken, as mentioned in an

article on BusinessWorld, has a universal appeal - unlike pizza or burgers, which are
regional-specific. Every place in the world serves chicken, and chicken can easily adapt
to the preferences of local consumers in any particular region. In fact, in the Philippines
alone, Jollibee Foods Corporation is the market leader of chicken fast food - with a total
sales of $1.67 billion in 2012, followed by McDonald’s Corporation with $533 million
total sales.

While Gibbs’ Hot Wings has these strengths, the researchers have also identified
the company’s weaknesses on the marketing aspect. The company has a limited amount
of choices provided in the menu. The main reason for this is because their main product
and signature dishes are the chicken wings, and the company chooses to give more
importance to their signature dishes. Although there is an upward trend of chicken wings
in the industry, millennial customers tend to look for something new, and usually vary in
food choices. Thus, the lack of focus on other food choices is considered a weakness for
Gibbs’ Hot Wings. Another weakness identified is the continuous increase in the prices
of menu items and beverages, which is affected mostly by the increase in the prices of the
raw ingredients and materials used. In addition to these, the company also has only two

and managers for each of their branches, as this would be too costly already on their part.
Another weakness is that the company is labor intensive. The chicken wings are

advanced kitchen equipment, which is quite labor - intensive. Another weakness is they
have high employee wages. Although this is considered as an advantage on the part of

products and other offers on social media. Gibbs’ Hot Wings should also continue to
create more music events such as Acoustic Nights, and events such as the Spicy Wing
For market development, Gibbs’ Hot Wings should consider expansion in other
key cities in Cebu, such as Mandaue City, Lapu-lapu City, and even in the developing
South Road Properties of Talisay City. The company may also want to consider putting
up branches inside malls such as Ayala Center Cebu, SM City Cebu, and Robinsons
Galleria Cebu; and, in the long run, more branches across other key areas in the
Philippines, such as in Bohol, Bacolod, Iloilo, Manila, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, and
Zamboanga.
For product development, Gibbs’ Hot Wings should continue to create more
distinct flavors, such as different levels of spiciness and maybe more sweet flavors of
their chicken wings to attract customers. Aside from chicken wings, the company can
also add more menu items such as grilled pork belly, pork barbecue, and baby back ribs,

Wings might want to consider opening a fast food restaurant. They can enter into
partnerships with local fast food conglomerates such as Jollibee and Mang Inasal to

investments, and this is also more secure on the part of Gibbs’ Hot Wings since the

representation of the company’s products in terms of market share position and growth
rate. This helps the company evaluate which products are strong in the industry, and
which products need more development. The BCG Matrix is composed of four quadrants,
40
Ref: Strategic Management 13e by Fred David
of Gibbs’ Hot Wings spicy intense wings, and the upcoming chicken wing flavors. Those
under this quadrant have a low relative market share position, but still are able to
compete in a high-growth industry. The reason for the low relative market share position
of these is because only a few people usually order the intense spicy wings. It is also
uncertain as to whether the new flavored wings would be a hit in the industry. Thus,
Gibbs’ Hot Wings must strengthen their intense spicy wings and new flavors through
active promotion on social media, in order to attract and expand their current market.
Gibbs’ Hot Wings can also add more items to their menu and continue to develop the
The products in Quadrant II are labeled as star products. In this case, Gibbs’ Hot
Wings has the Angel wings as the star products. The Angel wings have achieved a high
market share and a high industry growth rate. Thus, Gibbs’ Hot Wings can make use of
Quadrant III is composed of cash cow products. These are the products that have
a high relative market share position but compete in a low growth industry. Gibbs’ Hot
Wings’ cash cows are composed of the Original spicy wings, and alcoholic beverages
such as beer, vodka, and tequila. These products are considered cash cows since they are
highly consumed, and generate cash exceeding their needs. It is important to maintain
the strong position of these cash cows. Some good strategies for these include product

enhanced flavors.
this case, Gibbs’ Hot Wings’ appetizers such as french fries, and pasta such as carbonara
and spaghetti and meatballs are the dog products. These are products that have a low
market share, and are competing in a slow market growth industry. It has been observed
by the researchers that not many customers consume appetizers, as chicken wings can be
consumed alone. Thus, to minimize risks, Gibbs’ Hot Wings can put them together with
the chicken wings as combo meals. This strengthens the consumption of both the

creating alternative strategies. The Grand Strategy Matrix is evaluated based on two
dimensions: market growth and competitive position. The results from the Grand Matrix
This means that Gibbs’ Hot Wings has achieved a rapid market growth, with an
annual sales exceeding 5 percent, and is strong in terms of competitive position. Gibbs’
Hot Wings is at an excellent strategic position; thus, the company should focus more on
expanding their current markets (market penetration and market development), and
once Gibbs’ Hot Wings has reached a level where the resources are excessive, then
backward, forward, or horizontal integration may be used. With the limited product line
of Gibbs’ Hot Wings, related diversification may also be utlitized to reduce this risk.
Gibbs’ Hot Wings can also take advantage of expansion opportunities, and may take risks
Porter’s Generic
For the Porter’s Generic Matrix, there are 3 different generic strategies for
Cost Leadership Strategy and Focus Strategy. Among the 3 strategies, Gibbs’ Hot Wings
chooses the Differentiation strategy where a firm seeks to be unique that is widely valued
by customers.
There are many things that differentiate Gibbs’ from other restaurants that also
sell chicken wings. But among all of these differences, the one thing that sets them apart
is their chicken wings that offer different levels of spiciness. The spiciness level ranges
from level 1 – 5, with 1 being the mildest and 5 being the spiciest, and the customers can
43
Ref: Strategic Management 13e by Fred David
choose their desired level. Other restaurants many have unlimited wings and drinks but
letting the customers choose their preferred spiciness level is something that other
This meets that the customers’ needs since there are some customers who are not
fond of spicy foods and there are other customers who want their food spicier than
normal. By allowing them to choose their desired level, they can enjoy the taste as they
eat. As the spiciness level increases, so does the price but it is worth it for the customers

MARKET DEVELOPMENT
This is where the business seeks to sell its existing products into new markets.
There are 2 strategies Gibb’s can do to ensure Market Development. The first would be
44
Ref: Strategic Management 13e by Fred David
the expansion to other branches in Cebu. By doing so, the brand will be introduced to
new markets and will gather new customers. The second is to expand the Target Market.
The current target market for Gibb’s are Millennials ages 20 – 34 years old who usually
go in groups. The company should consider expanding it to high school students to adults
DIVERSIFICATION
This is where the business markets new products in new markets. The only thing
Gibb’s needs to watch out for is the High Risk, especially for the new products.
Releasing new products to a new market always has high risks to it because it is unsure if
the product will actually survive in the market in the short and long run.
MARKET PENETRATION
This is where the business focuses on selling existing products into the existing
markets. For market penetration, Gibb’s implements 2 strategies. The first one would be
to launch promotions every now and then. This will peak consumer’s interest and can
gather potential customers. The second would be to continue innovating the products,
especially their specialty which is their spiciness level. Loyal customers would already
know about their challenge and by furthering the challenge and adding new flavours then,
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
This is where the business aims to introduce new products into existing markets.
Product Development can happen by improving customer service by shortening time and
improving quality. This will result in much more delicious products and faster service
time making customer satisfied with the experience Gibb’s offers and will be more than
45
Ref: Strategic Management 13e by Fred David
willing to come back. Another strategy would be to develop related products or services
such as fries to go with the chicken wings rather than the rice. This will give customers
more choices to choose from allowing them to choose one to their desired liking.

The Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix, or QSPM, helps the company examine
sets of strategies and evaluate these strategies on how effective it is. This matrix draws
attention to certain important things that affect strategy decision. It is recommended that
big or small businesses use this matrix to analyze and evaluate which strategy is good
enough or which to apply first. Based on the table above, Gibb’s current location is a
decent environment for eating however there are many indirect competitors in the area.
These competitors also offer promos that are unlimited however Gibb’s morale is superb.

Cutting Costs. Cutting costs can help the business increase their
sales. To cut costs, the company must look for cheaper suppliers but at the same
time keeping the quality of the product. This is generated from the Finance
objective that states that food cost should be at least 40% of all revenue.
In order for the business to see what they should improve or work on, they can
have the employees’ rate on how the business is going and how the customers react to
certain things. The business can also have the customers rate or evaluate the service or
products offered. The company can put up evaluation in their website or print several
copies. That way, the company can identify which side is good, needs improvement and
what strategy is best used or implemented in order for the business to run better and for
the customers to be fully satisfied at all times. After analyzing a strategy, it is best to
implement it afterwards and observe if there are good changes or if a new strategy is
needed. A study of quick restaurant services should also take into consideration in order
to analyze strategy for good and fast services during peak hours.

industry. They are indeed one of the market leaders in the food service industry,
particularly the chicken retailer category. However, despite this, they still have some

Recommendations
Based on the study, the researchers recommend the following for Gibbs’ Hot
Wings:
Market penetration. Gibbs’ Hot Wings should continue to attract their current
market, composed of millennials aged 20-34 years old, who dine with family and friends.
One way of doing this is by increased promotional efforts, especially through social
media sites such as Facebook and Instagram. Gibbs’ should maintain an active presence
online, and continue to promote their products on these platforms. Moreover, Gibbs’
should have a more structured marketing department tasked to do these. Gibbs’ Hot
Wings should also focus more on providing discounts, especially during special
occasions and holidays. They can also have a membership card to increase further the
their business plans. Some potential locations for expansion include other malls in Cebu,
such as Ayala Center Cebu, SM City Cebu, Robinsons Galleria Cebu, Parkmall, J Centre,
and SM Seaside Cebu. They should also consider expanding to different key cities
besides Cebu City, such as Mandaue City, Lapu-lapu City, and Talisay City. Moreover,
they can also expand to other key regions in the Philippines, especially Bohol, Bacolod
and Iloilo in Visayas, Davao City in Mindanao, and the National Capital Region.
innovate different, distinct flavors for their chicken wings, such as higher levels of
50

spiciness, or more sweet flavors. Moreover, they should expand their menu items by
adding entrees such as grilled baby back ribs, pork belly, pork barbecue, and so on.
Gibbs’ can also consider adding healthier alternatives as part of their menu in the future,
such as salads, vegan burgers, and fruit shakes. Having varied products attracts diverse
