Beginning in London with additional trials to be phased in other locations throughout the year, KFC is launching its first delivery-only kitchens in the United Kingdom.
Recently opening it 1000th restaurant in the UK, the fried chicken giant said the kitchen will improve the experience of customers, team members and delivery drivers, and take the pressure off existing restaurants.
Customers will be able to order from the delivery-only kitchen locations through Deliveroo, JustEat, UberEats, and via KFC’ website and app.
“We’re excited by the potential of our delivery only kitchens,” expressed James Whitehorn, KFC UK & Ireland’s chief development officer.
“This launch presents an opportunity for us to reach more people than ever and let them enjoy KFC’s delicious fried chicken in their own homes. WE can’t wait to see the results.”
Each kitchen will create 30 new jobs and KFC noted that the locations have been selected due to their continued sales growth via a range of channels and delivery platforms including drive-thru, front counter, kiosks, and delivery.
