In many countries around the world, the undisputed leader in the fast food category and
specifically in the burger line it is McDonald's or Burger King. In the
Peru, however, is a 100% Peruvian company that dominates the category: BEMBOS.
HISTORY:
BEMBOS was born on June 11, 1988, a difficult time for Peru. They started in a location
rented in Miraflores and set as a goal to develop the best hamburger of
country, a business little known at that time.
They worked hard to offer a different product, a grilled hamburger with flavor.

The waves of terrorist attacks that shook the country just when Bembos
was beginning to emerge as a company.
The approval of the capital investment treatment law (1993).
The macroeconomic policy applied by governments since 2001 privileged the
private initiative, the opening of the economy, free trade, and stability of
the prices and this gave way to a favorable environment to expand within the country
and beyond its borders.
The consequences of the El Niño phenomenon and the Asian crisis in 1997-1998,

daily occurrences and organizational phenomena are understood. It is recommended to find the
parameters established by this interpretive framework, since it is from there that
you will gain valuable insights to understand internal communication and, eventually,
to design the actions to be taken.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Regarding social responsibility, Bembos has always been concerned about its
team members in training, personal development, in their studies; however, their
the external approach has been slightly deviated so far with respect to the
importance of the economy of some sectors of the country, but this is not to diminish
importance but have dedicated their time to young people and the development of skills,
skills and virtues enhanced musical and personal with the 'Rock in Bembos'.
Over the years, Peruvians have relearned to value our own, this has its
best example in the BEMBOS chain that sells Peruvian products made by Peruvians
despite competing in the market with large transnational chains, it has become
the favorite when thinking about a fast food chain
1. Suppliers:
Foreign suppliers
French fries come from the United States, the meat from Argentina, Bolivia and
Chile, the toys from China. When reviewing the suppliers' website, it
notice that they have a very wide market all over the world, therefore Bembos
does not represent being its main buyer. Therefore, we conclude that in the case
from foreign suppliers, Bembos does not have high bargaining power,
That is why it diversifies its suppliers.
Local suppliers:
Regarding local suppliers, it is noted in the reading that the supplier
It is Bimbo. Bembos in Peru could be considered one of the companies that
consume more bread, since its field is the sale of hamburgers. Therefore
we consider that in this case, it does have influence over Bimbo, since by the
Bimbo considers the volume of purchases as one of its main customers.
Something similar is seen with Unilever, supplier of Hellmann's, due to the volume of
purchases, it is also a major local client; therefore it has significant influence.
On the other hand, the growth of construction projects has led to the
demand for land increases and consequently, the prices of land and
rentals are becoming increasingly expensive (according to capeco). This situation makes it so that
Bembos, who has the need to purchase or rent for its franchises, should
decrease their bargaining power, as the demand for the same land is
high.
Clients
Customers have several options in the fast food market.
The economically active population spends its income on food expenses.
The high accessibility to the products and services of this sector, in Lima, Callao and
provinces in the shopping malls.
From the above, it is concluded that the client has strong bargaining power,
since in these shopping centers the fast food service provides
diversity of options for the customer, at the same reach and at no additional cost, plus
that the differentiation between one price and another.
This is supported by the tastes and preferences of the customer, which are based on:
Customer loyalty with a good level of service, security, and above all with
a high quality product.
The change in consumer behavior.
Tastes, attitudes, food culture, values, etc., are changing.
continuously; we are moving away from the traditional concept of soup and a main course or
a home-cooked meal to a quicker and more informal one, for various reasons such as;
work schedule, distances between work and home adoption of new
tastes and values among others.
3. Substitutes: Among the possible substitutes, we have companies that have been around for many years.
and with very good seasoning that they could be a possible substitute, which is why
Bembos is constantly innovating, such as the market launch
from the hamburger to the plate, the chicken hamburger. Within the possible
we would have substitutes

MOTIVATION:
Regarding human resources, given that their staff is young and mostly...
university student cases, it is relatively easy to implement programs of
training and motivation. It is about enthusiastic people, whose own social circle
it coincides with BEMBOS' target market.
It sounds simple: good knowledge of your audience, differentiation, good service and
permanent innovation. BEMBOS, good ambassador of the Peru brand.

possible for better performance.
Recommendation:
Motivate and train store supervisors more so that they can pass it on to the
respective managers to work in a team and in a more pleasant environment
entrepreneur always seeking to achieve daily goals.
FOCUS:
Its approach...
To achieve leadership in the fast food sector in Peru, BEMBOS has managed to
adapt to the local culture to reach solidly to its target audience. Its strategy of
business is based on the differentiation of its products and a continuous improvement in
service quality. This implies constant communication with clients to generate
stable relationships with them. The Peruvian flavor of their hamburgers defines an advantage
important against its competitors, along with a constant development of products
new. Invest capital for the development of products aimed at children, desserts, tacos
and burritos; whole salads for the audience seeking healthy and nutritious products; and
sides like yuquitas, onion rings, chicken nuggets, cheese fingers, etc. Additionally
has added diet drinks to the range of soft drinks it offers since its
beginnings.
Another key factor of their strategy consists of their backward integration: sourcing
from bread and ground beef through consignment purchases.
The growth of the chain has involved not only more locations but also modifying its
internal processes. Standardizes all stages of the production process, with
it achieves a homogeneous quality at any of the fast food sales points.
Ello improves its cost efficiency and in mechanisms that allow just in time in the
arrival of supplies.
