CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Introduction

Many countries around the world claim the empanada as one of their own.
Empanadas are in spain, portugal, caribbean, latin america, and in philippines and
empanada is very essentially stuffed pastry. From morning, most of us frequently
buy breads from a vendor who used bike or other vehicles to sell their products
across different streets or we usually buy breads to our valid home based
bakeries, bread can also be at snack time it can be partnered with hot choco, fruit
juices or other beverages. Empanadas are complete little meals unto themselves;
everything you need is meat, vegetable, cheese, sauce -that is neatly wrapped
into a tasty crust, ready to travel. Like all great street food, empanadas can be
eaten on the go with little fuss or mess. They taste good at room temperature,
but they heat up quickly in the microwave or toaster oven, making them ideal for
breakfast on the go. Their flaky crust soaks up the flavor of the filling and
enhances it, whether it's vegetable, chicken,beef or seafood. the name comes
from the spanish verb Empanar, meaning to wrap coat in bread. Usually the
empanada is made by folding a thin circular-shaped dough patty over the stuffing,
creating its typical semicircular shape. Empanadas are also known by a wide
variety of regional names. It is likely that the Latin American empanadas were
originally from Galicia, Spain, where an empanada is prepared similar to a pie that
is cut in pieces, making it a portable and hearty meal for working people. The
empanada is usually prepared with cod fish or chicken.

This feasibility will provide satisfaction to the by making different variety

flavors of empanada. The researchers will aim to know what variety of flavors
does the individual wants by conducting evaluation and strategies.

Building a household name: The success story of Julie's Bakeshop

An ordinary housewife making ends meet by selling bread did

not expect she could build a corporation and then some. “I asked God for only
one,” says Julia Gandionco, her grateful way of saying she was given much more.
Indeed, the community bakeshop turned bakery chain that is Julie’s Bakeshop is
not just a simple family venture but a household name. A bakery chain that traces
its roots from a small town in Mandaue City in Cebu, Julie’s Bakeshop grew from a
small store that supplied bread to canteens to become the country’s largest
network of bakeshops with a total of more to date.
Joseph Gandionco, president and CEO of Julie’s Franchise Corp. Saw how the
family’s humble bakery came to be what it is now. “From Day 1, I was there
helping [my mother Julia]. I was the one available at that time. The older ones were all
working, the younger ones were studying. I just graduated then,” he says.
This was in the 1970s, and Julia was managing three canteens that needed a steady supply of
bread.

With nothing to do just yet, young Joseph helped out by picking up bread from various
bakeshops. During one of those deliveries, a baker suggested they put up their own bakeshop
since they needed so much bread every day. Without any bakery experience, Julia took up
the idea. Source: http://pinoyandpeso.blogspot.com/2012/01/julies-bakeshop-success-story.html
