IV. Proposed Solution
Francisco “Paco” Magsaysay, the man who built Carmen’s Best from the dairy farm his
father built and started selling with products that are made out of milk (e.g. pastillas, milk,
cheese), which they didn’t know at first that they were going to make ice cream. They
started with four flavors: Salted Caramel, Brazilian Coffee, Malted Milk and Butter Pecan,
which today are their best sellers. Paco even said that, they made it to a point that they
should only use the best ingredients when they create new flavors. They never use
shortcuts. And each one of his flavors have a distinct character and inspiration. The first
Carmen’s Best store Paco opened was in Alabang and he admitted that their sales wasn’t
that high at the moment because they were selling out ice cream in cups and the excitement
was not there. Then they opened a store in Power Plant Mall in Rockwell, which he used
the old POS he had in Alabang, he was surprised there was a long line of people in front of
their store but despite that, there were also customers leaving because of the long line.
Then he decided to upgrade the POS he had. Since Carmen’s Best is already selling ice
creams in cone, Paco needs to know how many cones did he sell on that day, with the help
of the POS system of Genietech, Paco managed to know how many cones were sold
therefore he would know how much batter he needs to make for the next day. Not only did
Genietech help Paco solve the long line of people, it also helped him keep track of his
inventory.
Paco recommends Genietech to businesses, specially those who are in the food service
business, since he found in Genietech the solution to his problem.
