It is an affordable, filling, ready-to-eat meal aimed at students, teachers, and workers in and around Boac, Marinduque who need a quick, budget-friendly meal.
Mission
To serve delicious, affordable, and freshly-made chicken pastil that gives every Marinduqueño a satisfying meal — while supporting local suppliers and student entrepreneurship.
Vision
To become the most-loved local pastil brand in Marinduque within five years, with several stalls and a small commissary that provides jobs to the community.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP)
Bigger chicken servings at a student-friendly price of ₱25, freshly cooked daily, and wrapped in real banana leaf for that authentic aroma — sold right where our customers already are: the school and the town center.
Highlights
- Market opportunity: hundreds of students and workers near the school buy a low-cost lunch every day.
- Expected growth: from 60 pieces/day in Year 1 to 110 pieces/day by Year 3.

Success Factors
- Ready market of students and staff at a fixed, high-traffic location.
- Low price, low overhead, and simple operations that are easy to manage.

Business Description
The nature and scope of the business.
Legal Structure
Hot Chicks Chicken Pastil is registered as a partnershirp, owned and managed by the proprietor. This keeps registration simple and gives the owner full control of decisions and profits.
Business Name & Location
Registered name: Hot Chicks Chicken Pastil. The main stall is located at Marinduque National High School, Isok 1, Boac, Marinduque, with online ordering through a Facebook page for pre-orders and deliveries within Boac.
Industry Overview
The business operates in the food and beverage / ready-to-eat meals industry. Pastil is a well-loved, fast-growing Filipino street food because it is cheap, filling, and convenient. Demand for affordable "ulam-and-rice-in-one" meals continues to rise as more students and workers look for value meals under ₱30. Competition exists but is small-scale, leaving room for a consistent, well-branded local seller.

Production / Operational Plan
How the product is made and delivered.
Production Process
- 1. Preparation: wash and cook rice; boil, season, and shred the chicken into adobo flavor.
- 2. Assembly: scoop rice onto cleaned banana leaf, top with shredded chicken.
- 3. Wrapping: fold the banana leaf into the classic pastil pack.
- 4. Steaming: steam the wrapped packs to seal in aroma and warmth.
- 5. Serving: keep warm and sell fresh; pack for take-out or delivery.
Facilities & Equipment
- Selling stall / food cart at the school and a home-based prep kitchen.
- Two rice cookers, a large steamer, cooking pots, chopping boards, knives, tongs, and food-grade containers.
- Basic point-of-sale: a cash box and a simple sales notebook or phone app.
Suppliers & Inventory
Rice, chicken, spices, and banana leaves are bought from the Boac public market and local farmers. Perishables are purchased fresh every 1–2 days using a first-in, first-out (FIFO) system to avoid spoilage. A simple daily stock list tracks what to re-order.
Capacity & Scheduling
Target capacity is 60–110 pieces per day. Preparation runs early morning before school hours; selling happens during recess, lunch, and dismissal — the peak times. Operations run about 26 days a month.
Quality Control
Standard recipe measurements keep the taste consistent. Ingredients are checked for freshness, banana leaves are cleaned and blanched, and cooked food is sold within the day. Staff follow proper handwashing and sanitation rules.

Marketing Plan
How the business attracts and keeps customers.
Market Analysis
Target market: junior and senior high school students, teachers, and nearby workers aged 12–45 with an average daily food budget of ₱30–₱60. The school population alone provides a steady base of hundreds of possible buyers each day, and the town center adds walk-in customers.
Competitor Analysis
- Direct competitors: other pastil and rice-meal vendors. Strength: established; weakness: smaller servings, inconsistent supply.
- Indirect competitors: canteen snacks, instant noodles, fishball stands. Weakness: less filling as a full meal.
- Our advantage: bigger serving, consistent taste, friendly branding, and a location right where customers are.
Marketing Strategy (The 4Ps)
- Product: flavorful chicken pastil with strong "Hot Chicks" branding, clean banana-leaf packaging, and a friendly logo; polite service and quick reordering.
- Price: cost-plus & competitive pricing at ₱25 base; bundle discounts (5 for ₱115) and occasional student promos.
- Place: direct selling at the school stall, plus Facebook pre-orders and delivery within Boac.
- Promotion: social media posts and reels, tarpaulin and flyers, word-of-mouth, "buy 10 get 1 free" loyalty card, and launch-day taste tests.
