For the family of Joseph and Vicky Mojica, there is nothing sweeter than being able to run a business in the Philippines. The couple owns the popular Angel’s Burger food kiosk that has more than a thousand outlets all over the country.
They started the business in 1997 and it was mostly a daring leap of faith on their part.
Their independent venture, however, was not an overnight success. By 1999, the business was struggling and their financial situation reached a point where even paying for their daughter’s tuition was a big challenge.
However, the couple persevered and now, Angel’s Burger is one of the most popular food kiosks in the country. It is successfully run not only by the husband-and-wife tandem but also by their children Cholo, Angel, and, Joma.
BDO Unibank has been providing support to Angel’s Burger since the start. Even before the venture was established, Vicky and Joseph had already been BDO clients since 1994, and the bank has proven to be a reliable partner through good times and tough times.
“BDO handles our payroll service. They set it up so that our employees could access their payroll anywhere, from any ATM. We appreciated this so much especially during the pandemic when people were having a hard time moving around. During this crisis period, people really need their salaries. It’s safer for them to get their salaries through ATM rather than having to go to our office,” she said.
Cholo, who is now president of the company, added BDO’s Cash Management Services greatly helped them adapt to the new normal. Angel’s Burger is now using a BDO Corporate Cash Deposit Machine (CCDM).
Once the BDO CCDM is in place at a secure location, a business no longer needs to go to a BDO branch to make a deposit–whatever deposit they make to the machine is credited to their account: it’s as good as having made the deposit at the bank itself.
“I was reluctant at first. I didn’t think it was necessary considering we already have the cash pick-up. But this pandemic proved how advantageous it was. It was so convenient–being able to deposit anytime to your account while in the premises of your own company.
This is a great product. BDO did well with this product,” he shared
The newest service that Angel’s Burger is enjoying from BDO is the franchise stock payment facility. Through the service, Angel’s Burger franchisees send their stock payments online through the BDO Online App.
