Waffle Time Franchise: The Company and the Product

Waffle Time Inc. is the pioneer of selling hot, delicious stuffed waffles in the Philippines. Waffle Time boasts more than ten different flavors when it started in 1998.

The first store was erected in The Atrium Mall in Iloilo City where their small but elegantly designed cart flourished and attracted a lot of customers. They started expanding and soon opened their first business outlet in Metro Manila in June 2002. Soon, they expanded with outlets in Cebu, Cagayan, Davao and Dagupan, conquering the whole Philippines with their delicious crispy but soft waffles.

Waffle Time opened its doors to franchising in 2004, which paved way for the brand to further expand in the Philippines.
