History
TK Takoyaki was officially founded in August 2008 by its principal entrepreneur, Mrs. Maritess G. Villaflor. At first, her distinct indulgence to this popular Japanese street food became a home hobby enabling her to develop her own flavor, taste combination and eventually a "Filipinized" version of takoyaki. One morning, while she was cleaning her takoyaki plate on her garage, she had an idea of trying out her invention that same moment. Neighbors became curious and started to inquire about the egg-shaped snack she was molding. Out of the crowd's encouraging curiosity, she decided to showcase her product to her neighbors first by sampling it to some. Armed with the sweetness of her sauce, generous fillings and unique appearance of takoyaki, greater majority from across the streets heard of her product on her garage and decided to visit and try the public madness of the day. That day, even with a short span of public introduction, she was able to sold all of her products leaving others mystified and still curious about her takoyaki taste.
As the day ended, one student from a university invited her to showcase her product to their university event. Shocked and unbelieving, she then first entered the field of food cart as a sponsoring entrepreneur at this particular university. In this one day event, the full potential of TK Takoyaki was realized. On her first opening and sponsorship in this event, her earnings surged up to Php 13,000.00 in 12 hours of selling. From that day, not only she realized the potential of her product but also the body of students, administrators and professionals who had tasted her Takoyaki. Offers from different establishments guided her to establish her own variety of Takoyaki. Finally, her first branch of Takoyaki managed initially by her opened at Odeon Mall, Recto. Daily sales became consistent with fast tracked expansion of market awareness. Odeon branch sales played from Php 6,000.00 to Php 10,000.00 per day during their first quarter and became consistent even up to this day.
As the days of public exposure increased, TK Takoyaki have branched to several areas of Manila, such as U.S.T P. Noval, Dapitan, Espaņa, Plaza Fare, Zurbaran and Newton Plaza, within a short period of six months. Appeal of the company's products to Filipino consumers, professional service and unique taste have enabled their fast tracked expansion. TK Takoyaki provides two principal products - (1) takoyaki and (2) Red Gulaman. Meanwhile, other specialties, such as siomai and Beefy-Yaki innovations, are also available serving as the menu diversification. The developer of the product is Maritess Villaflor together with her associates - Mark Anthony G. Villaflor (eldest son) and Antonio R. Villaflor (husband). The developer of the company was able to develop her own derivation of takoyaki product from the Japanese traditional cuisine customizing the recipe to better suit Filipino consumers. As a family business, these three individuals have diversified their market strategies into branching, system development and product development to further fast-tracked expansion and consumer awareness. In terms of market potentials, TK Takoyaki has already proven its market appeal with the many consumers supporting and availing its primary commodities. The company is currently on the process of branching and product diversification targeting mainly the potential marketable areas of Metro Manila. Indeed, TK Takoyaki - evolving from a simple garage food experiment to a quick expanding food-line business - has proven its potential towards the market appeal.
