RC Tiongson, Chief Operating Officer for Olive Garden in the Philippines, discussed the Bistro Group’s aggressive strategy in the face of a recovering post-pandemic economy, and worrying crises in inflation, importation, logistics, and supply. “If you’re asking why we keep on opening, we take that opportunity to keep on opening while the others are closing. We’re very aggressive with getting new concepts and opening more restaurants for this year.

You need more volume for this kind of brand and concept,” she said. “We’re sticking with it because we know exactly that, that will be our edge compared to others.” “That’s something that we’re very strict on, as well. Whatever markets around the world we open, that has to be there,” he said about the company’s culture.
