How do we save KFC in America

[Anonymous No.16430116]

While KFC is doing great in other countries, it’s a dying brand in the US. Popeyes and Chick Fil A are massively beating it in every regard, and even with recent quality improvements it’s still outshined by them. Is there a chance to revive it, or is a dead brand?

Because it turns out just selling chicken was never really a business idea. You just wanted to turn a profit. You didn't go into this to give chickens better quality of life, improve sourcing, using more sustainable packaging, and helping clean up the planet with your profits. You dying as a corporate brand is the best thing thats ever happened on this planet. Our planet is dying.

Replace their shit "secret recipe" french fries with fries that don't suck
Add a chicken sandwich option that doesn't have pickles, does have lettuce and tomato, and isn't so tall that it's awkward to eat
Add a budget chicken sandwich option, maybe using dark meat
Add a chicken wrap with a chicken tender, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and taco bell sauce packets (it's the same damn company, it should be an obvious move)
Add a desert option other than a whole cake or a stale cookie. Something mid price range that people will actually go out of their way to buy
Put more effort into quality control, particularly the home office doing surprise inspections

It's only a dying brand because Americans insist on having constantly new stuff with a new name even if it's just the same. It's called consumerism/fast-growth economy. Change for the sake of change becomes the order of the day.
Gimmickry > innovation.
Change > stability.
Profit > survival.
Ridiculous TV commercials trying to make a mascot character which has never existed in KFC's history and thinking that's somehow better than what came before.
The good Colonel is based, and can (and should!) remain an icon, but don't try to portray him as some ridiculous comedian clown. Just leave him as pictures.

This is mostly bullshit, though. Most grocery deli fried chicken has taken a swan drive in quality. Out of high school I used to work at a grocery deli and we'd bread chicken the day before. It'd sit in that seasoned breading and make a delicious breaded paste for the next day, and through osmosis would season the chicken itself. We'd pressure fry it, dump it and break it apart, and then deep fry the last few minutes to get it crispy all over. It was probably the best fried chicken I ever had.

Then, because of "muh margins," they decided they'd only bread it just before serving and then it started to taste like shit. Now every store does this, you can see the breading cards they have set up to bread it just before they fry it. The texture is shit, the flavor is shit, and the chicken itself tastes barely seasoned.

Find a place that does it right or just do it at home.

KFC isnt the place to go if you want tendies, a bucket of chicken, or a regular sandwhich. Popeyes and Chic Fila do those way better. KFC needs to go full taco bell and start creating wild new shit on a bimonthly or seasonal basis. Except unlike taco bell they wouldn't get rid of their best menu items.

Then need to become cool or have a niche that others don't have.

What does Chick-Fil-A have? Nice, clean-cut, Christian, respectable area, and family-friendly. But most importantly is their consistency.

What does Popeye have? Extreme ghetto and dirty. I've never seen a high-quality Popeyes without a minimum of 3 homeless. And they're all in fucked locations. But this is a good thing! It subconsciously tells a message without words and appeals to the nigger/wigger crowd.

What does KFC have? Nothing. They're in random locations with no public appearance. They either need to appeal to slavery and racism with colonel sanders, or have some type of message.

The problem is with the people.
They need to poach ex McDonalds employees or steal their training manual or something. Too many people are standing around doing nothing, there are people waiting at the register not being served, there is no cleaner.
As for the food, why is everything so oil logged? put cooked chicken on a raised rack. If you need a fan going 24/7 and a vent to keep your shit crispy, do it.
As for the menu: display the whole thing. If there's a promotion advertise it in store, not just on billboards outside to solely gain new customers instead of impressing your existing ones.
Stop cutting good items off the menu needlessly. Sweet chilli twister gone. Why? can't stock the sauce? 20 nuggets for $10, next month no deal and no option to buy 20 nuggets for more. Watch as the same happens with the current 10 twister $10 promotion too.

KFC is absolute trash in New Zealand. The only saving grace is wicked wings. Original recipe is the soggiest, gummiest breading on the stringiest and driest chicken you've ever chewed.

My issue with KFC is it is literally a roulette of quality and is expensive. If you can find a good one where they actually give a fuck, it is decent. Problem is I have had too many of them either give soggy or cold chicken too many times. No one wants to pay a lot of money for crap.

The problem isn't KFC in and of itself. KFC when cooked and maintained properly is fucking delicious. The problem is that it's always soggy or dry, you frequently get pieces that any respectable restaurant would have considered rejects, the staff is usually sassy black women who get pissed off that you had the audacity to place an order, they're invariably in shitty locations, and everything I've listed is consistently bad.
