...I. SUMMARY Goldilocks Bakeshop, Inc. started as a family business and has been experiencing great success since starting in 1966 by expanding by over 60 outlets by 1997. As Goldilocks grew, the family realized that its management ability would be limited. In 1995, the company hired ex–San Miguel executive, Mr. Winston Marbella, to professionalized the company and bring it to market leadership. For Goldilocks, product development had become an important feature of the company. The company had over 800 products and its business could be classified into two major categories: The Bakeshop, offering cakes, pastries, breads, and native delicacies; and The Food shop, serving Filipino main food fare and desserts. Goldilocks is dominating the bakeshop industry by having a huge market share of about 70% while its closest competitor Red Ribbon was a distant second with about a 14% market share. Expansion and marketing strategy for the future was on the minds of Goldilocks management like increasing retail outlets and opening stores outside of Metro Manila. Goldilocks did not just stop there, but they set a goal to at least get 30% revenue growth every year for the next three years which could be difficult considering the economic environment after the recent Asian regional crisis.

The most famous and largest bakeshop/restaurant based in the Philippines is expanding beyond the book to better serve its loyal and growing customers.

Today, the company continues to reach out to its growing customer base at home and abroad, while sticking true to its Filipino roots. “Fairy tale” beginnings The story of Goldilocks began where most fairy tales start: with family. In 1966, two close half-Filipino/Chinese sisters, Milagros Yee and Clarita Go, and their sister-in-law, Doris, were baking sweets in their humble Makati City apartment to provide for hospital patients and family friends, who were their first dedicated customers. Nicknamed “The Two Moms,” the sisters were known for their ambitious work ethic and special homemade recipes—especially...

...Goldilocks was first opened in 1966 as a family business and started in a one-door apartment of a two-story structure on Pasong Tamo Street, Makati City. It has established 192 branches throughout the islands. Two young women, sisters Milagros Leelin Yee and Clarita Leelin Go, now affectionately known by everyone else in the business as "The Two Moms", started the original Filipino Goldilocks, buoyed by the compliments they received on their home baking, particularly the fabulous cakes they took to their friends and relatives on every occasion. Along with their sister-in-law, Doris, started this team long before there was a bakeshop. They decided to open a small bakeshop along to the Pasong Tamo Street, Makati. The sisters have already been dabbling in the business for some time ---Milagros, by supplying chiffon slices to a number of Manila’s canteens, and Clarita, by baking and decorating cakes during special occasions in Bicol --- when they decided to take their hobby one step further. They began in the family kitchen, with their family as their first "customer." And when they decided to open a full-fledged bakeshop, another sister suggested the name Goldilocks. The fairy tale character, they agreed, seemed to suggest luck. On the first day of operation, all Goldilocks products were sold out. It had a little to do with luck, of course, Goldilocks' brazo de mercedes, sansrival, marble and butter slices, among other bestseller goodies, were sold just as fast they could bake...

...Street in Makati. A third sister, Maria Flor, suggested that they name the enterprise “Goldilocks“, after the character in a fairy tale. The intention was to make it easier for children and their mothers to remember the bakeshop’s name, and also because it suggested luck and prosperity. Little did the founders know that this “Once Upon a Time” would flourish into a real-life “Happily Ever After”: through hard work, dedication, and an uncompromising commitment to total customer satisfaction, Goldilocks is now the largest Filipino-owned bakeshop chain in the world. Being the leading Quick Service Restaurant in the Filipino Food Category as well, the company has expanded to more than 350 stores in the Philippines, with nine manufacturing plants strategically located across the country. Consequently, the opening day total sales of P574 back in 1966 has multiplied thousands of times over, reaching system-wide sales of over P6 billion as of latest financial records.

...QUALITATIVE - OBSERVATION - RECOMMENDATIONS Store Inside/ Outside From the outside, the store is very attractive because it displays its cakes and pastries which look very delicious. And when you enter, inside the store is clean but the space is limited. You have to fall in line when choosing what to buy, then you have to fall in line again to pay for your order, it is because of the limited space. Even the tables and chairs are placed close to each other. If expanding the store is inconvenient, then maximizing the space and organizing the store should be their priority. Order-Taking In taking our orders, the crews of Goldilocks are not that accommodating. They are snob because they did not even ask us what we would like to order as an additional to our prior order. They simply input what we order then that’s it. They are very mechanical. Even the security guard, he looks so tired of what he does. Another thing is that they have a lot of counters but only one counter is open. They must manifest some hospitality as what the Filipinos are best known. They must also hire more people to satisfy or serve their customer properly and for them to always have open counters especially during peak hours. Dining Experience Because of the limited space, it makes difficult for us to sit and place all our orders on our table, not because we ordered a lot but because the table was small. But the overall dining experience was good. The service personnel are all helpful. One thing...

...Goldilocks & The Three Bears: Summary The adapted version of Goldilocks and The Three Bears by Heidi Anne Heiner takes place in the middle of the woods where three bears live. The story starts off by introducing the bears as the protagonist characters by describing them as “good Bears — a little rough or so, as the manner of Bears is, but for all that very good-natured and hospitable” (Heiner). One day they decided to make porridge and go out for a walk to give it time to cool. As they are gone, Goldilocks, a naughty little girl, enters the bears’ home. Goldilocks then goes on to try each one of the three bears’ porridge. She ends up finishing all of the littlest bears porridge because it is not to hot or cold, but “just right”. Next she sees the bears’ chairs and decides to try out each one of their chairs. She ends up liking the littlest bear’s chair the best, but unfortunately ends up breaking it. She finally feels tired and then goes upstairs to lie down. She tries each bed and ends up falling asleep in the littlest bear’s bed. The bears come back and find that their house has been tampered with. They go through each item and talk about how there is something wrong with their stuff. Then once they reach the beds, the littlest bear finds Goldilocks in his bed and Goldilocks wakes up to quickly run out the window. The author does not explain exactly what happens to Goldilocks after this, but she is never seen or heard from again. Authentic Variant Plan ...

...1 / 18 I. Background Information / Additional Perspectives It was on April 22, 1998; during the Global Earth Day Celebration that Goldilocks Bakeshop became a recipient of an award that is not something to be proud of. Goldilocks received the Lason Award from the Sagip Pasig Movement (SPM) and was cited as one of the top six polluters of the Pasig River. It was its bread plant in Sta. Mesa, Manila that discharged a heavy load of water waste due to their unfinished waste water treatment facility on the Pasig River that triggered the SPM in giving them the award. Under the Executive Order No. 192, series of 1987, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) was mandated as the primary government agency possible for the sustainable management and development of the country’s natural resources. Together with Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), they carry out regulatory and law-enforced functions with provisions on environmental management, particularly on water quality monitoring, conservation of natural resources, and community-based natural resource management. 2 / 18 One of the most looked after body of water both by the DENR and LLDA here in the Philippines is none other than the infamous Pasig River. The river, which stretches for 25 kilometers from Laguna de Bay to Manila Bay, serves as a major transport route, source of water, and lifeline of Laguna de Bay (one of the biggest freshwater lakes in the world) as such it is...
