When we say successful, we mean it; Growth, Financial Stability and Corporate Social Responsibilities for the communities. You cannot say that you’re a successful entrepreneur if you don’t have those 3 mentioned since those are the proof of success.
One of the
young leaders of this generation with proven success. The person behind the
success of Shawarma Shack is its Founder, President, and CEO, Walther Uzi
Buenavista. In the seven years that Buenavista has been managing the
business, his direction is always laser-focused on his three main motivations: Growth,
Innovation, and Employment.

Thus, what
started as a simple food stall in Divisoria in February 2015 has now become a
leading innovator in the food cart business. Buenavista's "distinctive
visioning ability" facilitated the growth of the company.
Growth
This growth
was also felled by his desire to bring their products closer to the customers.
Shawarma Shack now has stores in key locations across the country with over 700
branches and still counting. "It presented a significant growth in
terms of augmenting the demand from our customers and expanding enterprise
sales,” Buenavista pointed out.
Because of
the company's growth, Francorp Philippines gave Shawarma Shack a “One to
Many The Millennial Club Award” in October 2017. This award is given to
businesses that were able to reach double-digit number of branches in three
years. In 2017, Shawarma Shack already had 28 outlets, the
same year
when Buenavista was just 28 years old while Shawarma Shack was only two years
old.
Heart for
the country
He is also
very active in having relief efforts to the Filipinos who were badly hit by the
typhoons here in our country as his way of giving back to the community.
For this
year, Rising Tigers Magazine, the most distributed magazine right now in
