Pandemic-Born Takoyaki Stall Expands Across with more than 30 branches in its first year

Small business owners can use milestones to track their progress as entrepreneurs. As they marked their first year anniversary, Otako Monsta hit a big milestone. They also hailed the success of Crazy Tori, a similar Japanese street food concept that was planned and introduced at the same time last July 2021. As he welcomed guests, Co-founder Gian Franco Go said, “This event is our way of showing gratitude to everyone who has been with us every step of the way, and we look forward to more fruitful years with you as our partners.” The event was filled with music, wonderful food, and beverages to honor their partners who have made a significant contribution to their company’s success.

Sharing their love for Japanese food inspired a group of young entrepreneurs to launch their business at ILEA Christmas Bazaar last December 2020 in Iloilo city. Bringing the same quality and taste of Takoyaki found in Osaka, Japan has always been at the core of their business. Their offerings are competitively priced at P99 for 6 pieces, and are only made with real seafood ingredients. Seasonal product introductions keep their menu updated and exciting. The brand is best known for Monsta – Takoyaki filled with scallops, shrimp, cheese, and topped with baby octopus. They’re also the first to introduce matcha dessert balls, perfect to be paired with Takoyaki, for the same price.

Those looking for a snack do not have to look far because Otako Monsta is widely available in Visayas and Mindanao. It ended their first year in operation with 32 branches and plans to double it to 60 stores nationwide by the end of 2022. The group kicked off their expansion to Luzon, opening a branch in Cavite last October 2021. Takoyaki lovers can expect more branches in NCR in the first quarter of 2022.

Otako Monsta has a fair franchising package and a proven business model, with their carefully planned mall branches achieving a ROI of 5-6 months, exceeding the initial projection of 8-12 months.
