Xedric Lloyd F. Alvarez Riña Pril P. Sta. Teresa What is KFC? • KFC (short for Kentucky Fried Chicken) is an American fast food restaurant chain headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky that specializes in fried chicken. • KFC was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders, an entrepreneur who began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky during the Great Depression. Sanders identified the potential of the restaurant franchising concept and the first "Kentucky Fried Chicken" franchise opened in Utah in 1952. • Filipinos have always been quick to adapt to new ideas, amd since the fast food concept burst onto the local scene, they have become some of the most enthusiastic customers in the world. • KFC (it is nolonger called Kentucky Fried Chicken) has been warmly welcomed into the Philippies since its inception. Chicken is a particular favorite food of all Filipnos throughout the country and,to them, the special secret recipe coating that gave the succulent chicken added flavor was specially appealing. • KFC in the Philippines continues its expansion program more by customer demand which continually rises every year. THE MARKET • The fast food market in the Philippines is big now, and set to get even bigger. since quick service restaurants were launched in the USA in the late 1950s the concepts have evolved into an integral part of the lifesyle of busy people in the late 20th century. • Indeed the the busier they get, the more important the fast food industry is to them. There is now quick service restaurant is the USA for every 1400 people- an astonishing statistic which suggests just how the market still has to grow in the rest of the world. ACHIEVEMENTS • KFC’s greatest achievement worlwide is undoubtedly to have reached an astonishing level of success without compromising quality indeed it has consitently pushed standards up. • Since the 1950s, when the legendary Colonel Sanders founded the group with a US$150 social security check, KFC has grown into a 10,00 restaurant chain, operating in 68 counries and generating an average turnover of US$7 billion. • Everyday, 6.6 million people enjoy a KFC meal and the company has become as it describes itself- “the chicken expert”. • The establishment of KFC in the Philippines has had dramatic effects on the local economy, providing employment both in KFC and for the many suppliers of products, including poultry breedersand growers, their feed suppliers, farmers and more. HISTORY • The founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken was the legendary Colonel Harland Sanders. The Colonel’s bespectacled face with its trademark goatee beard has become such an icon that there are people who believe he is a fictional (not to say mythical) figure a creation, perhaps, of the advertisers. • It was in the late 1930s, as the operator of a service station in Corbin, Kentucky, that Sanders renewed his interest in cooking. he had no restaurant at the time, but served food to hungry travellers from his own living quarters. • Before long customers were turning up just for the food. So he moved across the street and opened up a 142-seater restaurant in a motel, and operated this for nine years under the name of Sanders. • During this time he devised his secret recipe for fried chicken. His restaurant became so popular that State Governor Ruby Laffoon made Harland Sanders a Kentucky Colonel in honor of his fine contribution to state cuisine. • However, there were stormy times ahead. The Colonel’s thriving little bussiness could not survive the plans to open a new highway in the 1950s, which by passed the town of Corbin. The Colonel auctioned off his bussiness. • As a man in his sixties, he was finally left with US$150 social security check with which to face the future. • It didn’t daunt the Colonel. He used the money to set up his own franchising bussiness, and called it Kentucky Fried Chicken. He travelled across the country, cooking in different restaurants for customers and employees. As his special recipes found favor, he entered into handshake agreements with the restaurant owners who would pay him a nickel for every chicken the restaurant subsequently sold. BRAND VALUES • In KFC’s philosophy the customer is number one. KFC lives by this, insisting on quality product and fast, efficient, and friendly service. • The KFC customer care program demonstrates the thinking behind the KFC brand: it aims to deliver 101% customer satisfaction at all times. • This was the policy of Colonel Sanders himself, whose personality remains a powerful driving force behind the company’s success. • His image is an important selling point, a symbol of benign familiarity to the KFC consumer. His reputation as a perfectionist is legendary, and his dedication to quality and consumer service has remained the hallmark of KFC’s success to this day. MAP COUNTRY OUTLETS
