Why This Café Is the Next Big Franchise Opportunity for the New Generation

 The name “I Want Cofi” was inspired by a simple, everyday craving—the moment when you want something comforting and familiar. While coffee is at the heart of the brand, I Want Cofi was created to be more than just a coffee shop. “It’s a journey in every cup.”

 

At first glance, the cafe may appear as a cute dessert spot where you can hang out and relax. Nonetheless, upon closer inspection, IWantCofi Maginhawa operates a single storefront service similar to one of the Philippines' largest fast-food restaurants.

 

You can order at the counter, scan its QR code, use the automated machines, all of which offer several options for your convenience, or use the QR code on our visual with the IWC Maginhawa logo and address on the lower right of the photo. It's current, trendy, technological, and intuitive!

 

Definitely, it's a new storefront with character!

 

IWantCofi Maginhawa is also a fast-food-inspired café enterprise committed to a specific mission. You may enjoy their exceptional and delicious offerings, opt for additional opportunities if you are heavily involved in franchising and interested in advertising and promoting IWantCofi Maginhawa, or both.

 

A mutually beneficial outcome in all circumstances for entrepreneurial minds, motorbike drivers not affiliated with any delivery services, and just about anyone who desires to earn extra.

(Isang kapaki-pakinabang na pagkakataon para sa mga utak negosyante, mga driver ng mga motor na hindi konektado sa anumang serbisyo sa delivery, at sa kung sinumang nagnanais na kumita ng dagdag.)

 

Believe me, it's top-notch marketing savvy! A full-service franchise, a 'one-stop shop' right at your fingertips.

 

Moreover, IWantCofi Maginhawa, as a café, operates a POS system unlike any other. By all accounts, it's modern café comfort. But first, let's look at what they're offering!

 

I Want Cofi is a concept that extends beyond coffee. It serves coffee, non-coffee beverages, comfort food, and sweets, making it an all-day café for everyone.

 

First and foremost, they are firm believers that convincing begins with what they provide.

 

Non-coffee offerings include soda juices, fresh juices, frappes, yogurt drinks, and yogurt shakes. Food and desserts include fries, chicken wings, pasta, waffles, and specialty desserts. IWantCofi may add more as it progresses.

 

Mind you, this cafe's servings are just hefty and delish too!

Built a Nation, Abandoned by It: The Silent Battle of the Jeepney Pioneer

Image
Francisco Motors Corporation  (FMC) is one of the country's pioneering jeepney builders. Over the years, FMC transitioned from refurbishing war-era jeeps to designing its iconic models, including its modern electric jeepney launched around 2018. FMC’s modern electric jeep costs around ₱985,000/unit— far cheaper than government-endorsed modern jeepneys priced between ₱1.3 and 3 million. 85% locally built (body, motor, chassis); batteries still imported, but for the first 1000 units only. These modern jeeps are designed with urban routes in mind, offering a 150 km range (approximately five trips) and utilizing 50 kWh batteries, which can be charged via the CCS2 standard. As add-on options, the package includes modern features: AC, CCTV, GPS, cashless fares, wheelchair ramps for PWDs, speed limiters, and emergency exits—while keeping the classic jeepney aesthetic. Although FMC produces affordable, culturally resonant units, several obstacles hinder its inclusion in the governmen...

Bakit Napakaraming Bakanteng Condominium Units sa Bansa?

Image
  Sobrang natuwa ang mga developers noong kasagsagsagan ng Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO), kung kailan nagdagsaan ang mga online na pasugalan at online sex rings sa bansa mula China. Nangunguna ang mga Chinese sa pagbili at pagrenta ng mga condominium units. Kabilaan ang nagsitayuang mga condominium buildings hindi lamang sa Metro Manila kundi na rin sa iba't ibang bahagi ng Pilipinas.   Mula sa pre-pogo period na P1.8 million ay tumaas ang mga presyo ng bawat room o unit na isang pad, isang kuwarto, o dalawang kuwarto sa average na P5 million.   Ngunit ipinatigil ni Pangulong Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos Jr ang mga pogo operations sa bansa noong Hulio 2024, at sa pag-alis ng mga pogo operators at mga trabahador, biglang nabawasan ang mga bumibili ng condo units.   Mahigit-kumulang P300 thousand ang hinihinging down payment ng mga ahente ng real estate bukod na sa "murang" reservation fee na P25 -P50,000 at P18-P50,000 monthly rent-to-own charges bago pa m...

Affordable Prefab Homes for Every Filipino Dream

Image
 Like everything else, every company starts small and simple. This pioneering firm, which began modestly, was inspired by shipping containers—thanks to the father—and improved through clear ideas and innovation by the son. Mr. Christopher Kyle Malig , CEO and President, leads this exceptional and valuable venture, along with a team of professional architects and engineers, including the general manager, department heads, and skilled workers, who all helped create this once-in-a-lifetime project. Each person played a vital role in helping the company provide the best possible services. The move was a significant boost for Filipinos both locally and abroad, offering new hope for affordable homebuilding among kababayans, and foreign expat retirees alike , starting in August 2015. The company is fully Filipino-owned. As urbanization continues and housing demand exceeds supply in the Philippines, alternative building solutions like SmartHouse Philippines are stepping up to transf...
