Jollibee Group - Brand Operating System (BOS)

Use Cases & Technical Overview

Prepared by Contino | November 25, 2025


Executive Summary

The Brand Operating System (BOS) is an AI-powered platform designed to eliminate brand inconsistency across franchisees of brands of Jollibee Group. By replacing PDF-based standards with an intelligent chat interface and asset validation system, BOS will reduce time-to-answer from hours to minutes, ensure brand compliance at the point of creation, and provide actionable insights into franchisee behavior.


Core Use Cases

Use Case 1: Brand Standards Q&A

Scenario: A franchisee in Malaysia wants to run a Valentine's Day promotion but doesn't know the approved color palette, typography rules, or promotional layout guidelines.

Current State:

  • Hunt through 300+ pages of PDF guides, including brand guidelines
  • Call Manila customer service and wait for response
  • Hire a junior local designer ($25-50/hr) with no brand context
  • High probability of non-compliant output

BOS Solution:

  • Franchisee asks: "What are the guidelines for Valentine's Day promotional materials?"
  • System returns: Approved colors, typography, layout grids, photography style, logo placement rules, and templates for Valentine's Day
  • Response time: Under 30 seconds
  • Confidence level: Verified against official brand standards

Technical Approach:

  • RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) pipeline ingests all brand documentation
  • Vector embeddings enable semantic search across standards
  • Response synthesis ensures complete, contextual answers
  • Source attribution shows exactly which guideline sections apply

Use Case 2: Asset Compliance Validation

Scenario: A franchisee's designer creates promotional artwork and needs verification before printing/publishing.

Current State:

  • Submit to Manila for manual review (24-72 hour turnaround)
  • Inconsistent feedback depending on reviewer
  • Often discover issues after materials are already printed

BOS Solution:

  • Designer uploads artwork to BOS portal
  • System analyzes against brand guidelines:
    • Logo placement and sizing ✓
    • Color accuracy (hex/RGB matching) ✓
    • Typography usage ✓
    • Photography style compliance ✓
    • Clear space and margin rules ✓
    • (Other brand guideline rules checking) ✓
  • Returns pass/fail with specific feedback:
    • "Logo positioned 15px too close to edge. Minimum clear space: 40px. See Section 3.2 of Brand Guidelines."

Technical Approach:

  • Multi-agent architecture with specialized validators:
    • Logo Compliance Agent: Analyzes logo usage, sizing, placement, clear space
    • Color Compliance Agent: Validates color palette adherence via color space analysis
    • Typography Agent: Checks font usage, hierarchy, and styling rules
    • Composition Agent: Evaluates layout against approved grid systems
    • Photography Agent: Assesses image style, quality, and brand fit
  • Agents run in parallel for speed, results aggregated into unified report card
  • Each violation links to specific guideline section and remediation steps

Use Case 3: Franchisee Onboarding

Scenario: A new franchisee needs to learn brand requirements and how to use BOS.

Current State:

  • Receive PDF documents with no verification of understanding
  • No standardized onboarding across regions

BOS Solution:

  • Short onboarding course covering brand basics and how to use BOS
  • Simple quiz to verify understanding
  • Completion required before accessing full system

Technical Approach:

  • Web-based course module with localization support
  • Quiz with pass/fail tracking

Technical Architecture Overview

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

1. System Prompts

  • Define agent identity, capabilities, and guardrails
  • Specialized prompts per use case (Q&A, validation, onboarding)

2. Tools

  • Validation engines: Image analysis, color matching, layout checking
  • Escalation: Human support handoff when needed
  • LATER: Aprimo API: Digital asset retrieval

3. RAG Pipeline

  • Vector database storing all brand documentation
  • Semantic search for contextual answer retrieval
  • Metadata filtering by brand, region, campaign
  • Query alignment to maximize retrieval accuracy

4. Evaluation & Observability

  • Response quality tracking (user feedback, human review)
  • Cost and latency monitoring
  • Self-improvement cycles based on failed queries
  • Comprehensive audit trail for compliance

Multi-Agent Validation Architecture

For asset compliance checking, we employ specialized agents rather than a single general-purpose validator:

                    ┌─────────────────┐
│ Uploaded Asset │
└────────┬────────┘

┌──────────────┼──────────────┐
│ │ │
▼ ▼ ▼

│ │ Agent │ │
│ └────┬─────┘ │
│ │ │
└──────────────┼──────────────┘

┌────────▼────────┐
│ Aggregator │
│ Report Card │
└─────────────────┘

Why Multi-Agent?

  • Each agent specializes in one domain → higher accuracy
  • Agents run in parallel → faster response times
  • Easier to maintain and update individual rule sets
  • Clear accountability for each compliance dimension

Self-Improvement Cycle

A key differentiator of BOS is its ability to get smarter over time:

User Question


Agent Attempts Answer

├── Success → Log & Learn Patterns

└── Cannot Answer → Escalate to Human


Human Provides Answer

Future Questions Answered Automatically

Every escalation becomes training data. Every failed query identifies a documentation gap. The system continuously improves without manual intervention.

Enterprise Requirements

Security & Compliance:

  • GDPR compliant data handling
  • Role-based access control
  • Audit logging for all actions
  • Data encryption at rest and in transit

Scalability:

  • Designed for 5,000+ concurrent users
  • Regional deployment options for latency optimization
  • Load-tested for campaign peak periods

Integration:

  • LATER: Aprimo REST API connection
  • SSO/SAML for enterprise authentication
  • Webhook support for external system notifications

Implementation Phases

Phase 1: Pilot (Chow King)

  • Brand standards documentation ingestion
  • Chat interface deployment
  • Asset validation MVP
  • Testing with 10-15 real franchisees

Phase 2: Refinement

  • Optimize based on real usage data
  • Expand validation capabilities
  • A Primo deep integration
  • Self-improvement system activation

Phase 3: Scale (Jollibee + Additional Brands)

  • Multi-brand architecture
  • Full enterprise rollout
  • Advanced analytics dashboard
  • Continuous improvement operations

Why This Approach Works

  1. Specialized over General: Multi-agent architecture ensures each compliance dimension is handled by an expert system, not a general-purpose AI that might miss nuances.

  2. Self-Improving: Unlike static rule engines, BOS learns from every interaction. New questions become new answers. Failed validations reveal documentation gaps.

  3. Human-in-the-Loop: Critical edge cases escalate to humans. Their resolutions feed back into the system. Brand judgment is preserved, not replaced.

  4. Observable & Measurable: Full tracing of every query, every validation, every cost. You'll know exactly how the system performs and where to improve.

  5. Built for Scale: Architecture designed for enterprise deployment across 60+ countries with thousands of concurrent users.
