1. Introduction: What Is Mix and Match Jollibee?
Mix & Match (sometimes written “Mix and Match Jollibee”) is a promotional offering by Jollibee in which customers can build their own combo meals by choosing from a selection of main dishes plus sides or drinks/desserts, all at a bundled price. Rather than picking a fixed combo, the Mix & Match format gives more flexibility, letting customers mix different mains and pair them with their preferred sides or drinks.
In 2025, the Mix & Match offering is back and active, touted as an affordable “sulit-sarap” (value + delicious) option offered via dine-in, take-out, or drive-thru. FlingerosPhilippines.com
2. About Jollibee: Context & Brand History
To understand Mix & Match in context, a quick overview of Jollibee helps:
-
Jollibee is a Filipino fast food chain, flagship brand of Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC). Wikipedia+1
-
It began in 1978, growing from an ice cream shop into a full fast-food chain. Wikipedia
-
Known for local-flavored menus (e.g. Jolly Spaghetti, Chickenjoy fried chicken, Burger Steak) as well as burgers, desserts, etc. Wikipedia+1
-
Jollibee has expanded internationally, with branches in many countries outside the Philippines. Wikipedia+1
Thus, Mix & Match is one of their strategies to appeal to local customers with flexible, value-driven options.
3. The Mix & Match Concept Explained
At its core, Mix & Match works like a modular combo builder:
-
Select a Main — this is your primary dish (protein, pasta, sandwich, etc.).
-
Select a Side / Drink / Dessert — add a complementary item from a predetermined list.
-
The combo is offered at a single bundled price, which is typically lower than the sum of buying both items separately.
-
There are usually tiers: a base tier with simpler mains, and an upgraded tier with more premium mains, each with its own price point.
In 2025, Jollibee’s Mix & Match is described as having two tiers:
-
Combo A (P78) — a basic tier with a few main dish choices and side options. FlingerosPhilippines.com+2Jollibee Menu+2
-
Combo B (P88) — a higher-tier main selection (hotdogs, cheesy burgers, chicken sandwich, nuggets) with similar side / dessert / drink options. FlingerosPhilippines.com+2Mix and Match Jollibee+2
Thus, depending on which main you choose, the price differs but remains within a “budget combo” range.
4. Menu Options: Mains, Sides & Drinks
The success of Mix & Match depends heavily on which mains and sides customers can choose from. Based on available information, here are the known options for 2025:
Mains (Combo A, P78 tier)
These are among the “core” mains typically included in the base tier:
-
Yumburger
-
Jolly Spaghetti
-
1-pc. Burger Steak
-
Tuna Pie (sometimes included) Jollibee Menu+2Mix and Match Jollibee+2
Mains (Combo B, P88 tier)
These are “premium” mains, at slightly higher cost:
-
Jolly Hotdog
-
Cheesy Yumburger
-
Crunchy Chicken Sandwich
-
4-piece Chicken Nuggets with Dip Mix and Match Jollibee+2Jollibee Menu+2
Side / Drink / Dessert Options (for both tiers, selectable)
Options for the side / complementary item typically include:
-
Jolly Crispy Fries
-
Peach Mango Pie
-
Choco Sundae
-
Soda Float
-
Pineapple Juice
-
Iced Latte Mix and Match Jollibee+2Jollibee Menu+2
Thus, for any main you choose, you can pair it with one of those sides/drinks/desserts. The number of possible combinations can be quite high (e.g. 7 mains × 6 side options = 42 combinations, as stated in a Jollibee post) Facebook+1
5. Pricing & Combo Tiers
Pricing is central to the appeal of Mix & Match. Based on the latest (2025) data:
-
Combo A (base tier) starts at ₱78 (Philippine pesos). Jollibee Menu+1
-
Combo B (premium tier) is priced at ₱88 Mix and Match Jollibee+2FlingerosPhilippines.com+2
These prices give customers access to a main + one side / drink / dessert. Compared to buying those items separately, customers are supposed to get savings.
For example, one source gives:
“If you choose an item from the original category (1-Pc Burger Steak, Tuna Pie, Yumburger, Jolly Spaghetti) and pair it with a side, your meal will cost just ₱78.” Jollibee Menu+1
“For upgraded mains like Cheesy Yumburger, Jolly Hotdog, Chicken Nuggets … paired with a side or drink … ₱88.” Mix and Match Jollibee+3Mix and Match Jollibee+3FlingerosPhilippines.com+3
These prices may vary by location, local taxes, and other overheads, and perhaps countries outside the Philippines may have different pricing.

7. Benefits & Appeal
Why do customers and Jollibee itself favor Mix & Match? Some of the advantages:
-
Flexibility & Personalization
Customers get to pick combinations they like instead of being forced into preset combos. You can combine favorites and try new pairings. -
Perceived Value
Bundled pricing gives savings compared to buying items individually. For people on tight budgets, this is attractive. -
Increased Ordering Options
More variety means people can experiment with menus or mix savory + sweet or main + dessert combos. -
Competitive Edge
In markets crowded with fast food chains, giving customers more choice can differentiate Jollibee from competitors. -
Marketing Appeal & Promo Buzz
The “Mix & Match is back” promotions generate excitement and foot traffic. FlingerosPhilippines.com -
Operational Efficiency
Because the product combinations are limited to certain mains + sides, kitchen preparation remains manageable even with many possible combos.
8. Possible Limitations & Challenges
While Mix & Match offers many benefits, it also faces challenges:
-
Margin Pressure
Bundling discounts may cut into profit margins if not managed carefully, particularly if customers pick costlier mains + sides. -
Operational Complexity
More combinations mean more permutations the kitchen has to handle, possibly increasing errors or complexity in inventory management. -
Ingredient / Supply Constraints
If a certain side or dessert is out of stock, that combination becomes unavailable, which could frustrate customers. -
Regional / Branch Variation
Not all branches may support Mix & Match (due to space, menu constraints, or local rules). In some areas, the menu may differ. -
Pricing Sensitivity / Inflation
In times of inflation or rising costs, maintaining very low bundle prices (like ₱78) may be hard; price increases might reduce the appeal. -
Customer Decision Fatigue
While flexibility is good, too many choices could overwhelm some customers who prefer simple combos.
9. Tips for Getting the Most Out of Mix & Match
-
Know the Margins (if you care): Choose mains that give you more value relative to their standalone price.
-
Try contrast combos: e.g. savory main + sweet dessert (like Jolly Spaghetti + Choco Sundae) for balance.
-
Check availability early: Some sides / desserts may run out later in the day, so choose earlier.
-
Use delivery / app promos: Some online platforms may offer additional discounts or free delivery on Mix & Match combos.
-
Share combinations: If dining with friends, pick different combos and share sides or desserts to taste multiple pairings.
-
Watch for limited-time specials: Jollibee may rotate in new mains or sides under Mix & Match during holidays or promotions.
-
Plan for budget: Use the base tier (₱78) combos when you want value; upgrade to ₱88 tier if you want more luxury.
10. Future Prospects & Innovations
What might be next for Mix & Match? Some possibilities:
-
Expanded Main / Side Offerings
Introducing more mains (e.g. Chickenjoy variants) or sides (salads, new desserts) under Mix & Match. -
Tiered Premium Bundles
Higher priced versions including more items (e.g. 2 sides + drink) for slightly more cost. -
Regional Localization
In international branches, local flavors or local sides may be added to the Mix & Match menu to suit tastes. -
Dynamic Pricing
Using data analytics, Jollibee might adjust pricing or available combinations depending on time of day or demand. -
App-Only / Digital Exclusive Combos
Some combos may be exclusive to the mobile app or delivery. -
Sustainability Options
Option to swap certain sides for healthier or eco-friendly options (e.g. fruit, water) under the same bundle. -
Promotional Tie-ins
Tie-ins with events, holidays, or brand partnerships to introduce limited edition sides or mains under Mix & Match.
Given Jollibee’s track record of frequent menu innovation, Mix & Match is likely to evolve further.
