Out of the current 1,181 branches nationwide, the re-opened Jollibee Katipunan store is the 33ml newly renovated store that features a contemporary and fresh, cool vibe that is sure to appeal to customer of all ages. From its modern store design, brightly-colored digital menu board, sleek lighting and fixtures, and vibrant murals, customers stepping inside the Level Up Joy Store will be transported to a new and elevated world of joy that will make their dining experience and bonding moments extra joyful and Special.

Jollibee Katipunan has two floors, with a total seating capacity of 404 and has two Spacious party areas for celebrations and gatherings. It also features a multi-level and secure parking area for customers within its compound.

Jollibee’s first Level Up Joy Store features many innovations that seek to offer greater convenience and more pleasant dining experiences to time and energy-starved fast-food goers, including the most discerning ones who expect both great ambiance and food.

One such major innovation is the Self-Order Kiosks which was first piloted by Jollibee in 2018. The new Jollibee Katipunan has three self-order kiosks, enabling customers to order at their own pace and giving them the option to customize their orders according to their preference. It also has a user-friendly interface that enables customers to get their Jollibee favorites in three simple steps: order, pay, and claim.

"We’re very happy to note that our Self-Order Kiosks users who are a mix of different age groups {find that it's easy to use, very convenient, and offers a faster order time," says Jollibee Philippines Restaurant Head Jon Villanueva. He shares that the response from its initial launch has been positive so far, receiving 63% usage from customers with a 51%-time improvement in total customer experience.

The Jollibee Katipunan Level Up Joy Store also features a wireless charging station where busy and onthe-go customers can automatically charge their phones by simply placing them on top of the charging terminals. Charger cables won't be necessary and customers will be able to stay connected and attend to other things while enjoying their favorite Jollibee meals.

Customer convenience remains a topmost priority indeed for Jollibee as its new and improved delivery website is also slated to be relaunched on November 7 in Metro Manila with enhanced features and more importantly, updated security to further strengthen data protection of customers.

Doing their share for the environment 

Going all modern and high-tech also extends to the brand's commitment to do its part for the environment. In partnership with ECOS Environmental Foundation inc. and supported by the Department of Transportation, Jollibee has taken an initial step toward bringing an environment-friendly way to deliver meals to its customers with the pilot roll-out of its E-bikes.

The road legal E-bikes, which have been pilot tested in Jollibee branches in Emerald Avenue in Ortigas Center, BGC Triangle in Taguig. and Molino, Cavite, will also be used to cater delivery orders of the new Jollibee Katipunan.

As a way of giving back to its roots, Bo’s Coffee incorporates the symbols and elements of Sagada and Philippine coffee to its Coffee Card design. The design includes Sagada's scenery and the weave pattern of the Cordillera Autonomous Region. The details on the card are hand-painted. Also highlighted are first of the five Philippine coffee origins—Matutum, Kitanglad, Apo, and Benguet.

The Bo's Coffee Planner, which comes in Black and Maroon (the brand's colors), also highlights the elements of the Philippine flag and coffee. Some of the planner cover elements are hand drawn to focus on Filipino artistry and there are indigenous weaves in the pattern. The Bo's Coffee Planner is nationalistic, well-designed and functional and is your perfect partner for 2020.

You can get the Bo's Coffee Planner, Bo’s Coffee Electronic Gift Certiicates,  and other rewards by earning points through the Bo’s Coffee Mobile Application, which is another part of the brand's digital initiatives.
