GCash teams up with Jollibee Group to help customers shift to a cashless lifestyle

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — Payment solutions provider GCash has earned the trust of the country’s largest restaurant cluster Jollibee Group, which operates Jollibee, Chowking, Greenwich, Red Ribbon, Mang Inasal, as well as Burger King, Panda Express, and Yoshinoya in the Philippines.

“We recognize that the pandemic brought shifts and lasting changes to customer behavior such as greater use of digital and heightened convenience and safety,” said Glenn Mendoza, VP & Head of Jollibee Group Digital Technology - Philippines. “The partnership with GCash, combined with our efforts in digital transformation, will enable Jollibee Group to emerge as a stronger company and organization.”

Mendoza said that Jollibee Group is targeting to implement the acceptance of GCash in all Jollibee Group stores in the Philippines. “GCash helps us deliver faster service and minimize the queuing in our stores. We are continuously innovating and working to bring delight and joy to our customers.”

GCash has become the lifeline of most consumers and business owners during the pandemic. For most businesses, it has become a strong partner in providing innovative financial solutions enabling an inclusive, cashless ecosystem.

For Jollibee Group, GCash is also one of its partners in getting the public to actively participate in its advocacy efforts. GCash users can easily donate directly to the Jollibee Group Foundation — the social development arm of the Jollibee Group. Proceeds benefit JGF’s scholars on agro-entrepreneurship and other technical-vocational courses.

“As the No. 1 e-wallet in the Philippines, financial inclusion is at the very core of GCash. But for us to be able to scale and really help Filipino people adapt, we make GCash highly accessible,” explained Martin Limgenco II, AVP & Cluster Head of GCash Enterprise Sales. “We have payment solutions in most Jollibee branches and their website. We offer payment solutions in deliveries.”

GCash has helped create a safer and more convenient retail environment both for enterprise partners and consumers. Enabling QR payments for these enterprises allow them to adapt to the needs of their customers who have switched to the cashless lifestyle.

“With Jollibee Foods Corporation — given that it is highly critical for them to provide a delightful dining experience for their customers — this is something that we put value to. And whenever we see the customers of our customers happy and content, these are clear signs that we have done our part in this journey,” Limgenco added.

Gwen Fausto, Industry Head of GCash Enterprise Sales believes GCash now plays an important role in leading restaurant groups like Jollibee Group, making cashless experiences available to every Filipino.

“It’s safe because it minimizes physical contact during transactions; and it’s faster, more secure, and efficient. Whether you want to dine-in, take out, or drive-thru with the whole family, paying with GCash is just one scan away,” she shared.
