my guide and mentor Mr.Vikram , for his valuable guidance and the
confidence he instilled in me, that helped me in the successful completion of
this project report. Without his help, this project would have been a distant
affair.
His thorough understanding of the subject and professional guidance was
indeed of immense help to me.
Also, this acknowledgement would remain incomplete without thanking the
staff of KFC (RAJOURI GARDEN), New Delhi for their whole-hearted and
kind co-operation.

Company overview:
Colonel Harland sanders, born September 9, 1890, actively began
franchising his chicken business at the age of 65. Now, the Kentucky fried
chicken business he started has grown to be one of the largest retail food
service systems in the world. And colonel sanders, a quick service restaurant
pioneer, have become a symbol of entrepreneurial spirit. More than two
billion of the colonels finger lickin good chicken dinners are served
annually. And not just in America. The colonels cooking is available in
more then 82 countries around the world.
When the colonel was six, his father died. His mother was forced to go to
work, and young Harland had to take care of his three year old brother and
baby sister. This meant doing much of the family cooking. By the age of
seven, he was a master of a score of regional dishes. Ate age 10, his first job
working on a nearby farm for $2 a month. When he was 12, his mother
remarried and he left his home near Henryville, Ind., for a job on a farm in

Greenwood, Ind. He held a series of jobs over the next few years, first as a
15-year-old streetcar conductor in New Albany, Ind., and then as a 16-year-
old private, soldiering for six months in Cuba. After that he was a railroad
fireman, studied law by correspondence, practiced in justice of the peace
court, sold insurance, operated an Ohio River steamboat ferry, sold tires, and
Operated service station. When he was 40, the colonel began cooking for
hungry travelers who stopped at his service station in Corbin, KY. He didnt
have a restaurant then, but served folks on his own dining table in the living
quarters of his service station. As more people started coming just for food,
he moved across the street to a motel and restaurant that seated 142 people.
Over the next nine year, he perfected his secret blend of 11 herbs and spices
and the basic cooking technique that is still used today.

Entry
For the current Indian market for fast food, it is not difficult for a fast food
restaurant to enter the market. However, it would be extremely difficult to
take over already running major fast food chains' dominancy in India or even
make a significant amount of profit. While there are enough people in urban
India for any restaurant to survive, KFC holds the first-mover advantage into
the 'non-veg food specialty food segment' that gives them free reputation.
Customers, especially children who are used to going to KFC as a treat or
reward from their parents or grandparents, are not going to want to go to
other restaurants theyve never heard of. The brand name is already
established. Also, there is already a large variety in the numerous western-
style dining places in India, such as
McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Domino's and Subway, and any new fast-food
entrants would just be presenting something very similar to whats already
-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
19/78
there. While small
Neighborhood restaurants generally have low barriers to entry, these are the
barriers to entry for similar restaurant businesses to enter the fast-food chain
market.
Buyer/Supplier Bargaining Power
The customers of KFC, especially as individual buyers, have almost no
bargaining power because if only one customer threatens to no longer eat at
KFC, the store is not going to lower its price because the cost of losing one
customer is not very great. The suppliers, like the buyers, have very little
bargaining power.
In terms of food, KFC, upon its move into India, urged many of its U.S.
suppliers to also extend branches into India. KFC also began helping local
suppliers by giving them technological support to improve their products.
This is a brilliant strategy because the supplies that KFC would otherwise
need to import from the
U.S. can now be obtained domestically, and if the U.S. suppliers decide to
raise their prices, KFC can easily switch to the local suppliers. This gives us
a brilliant strategy. With this strategy, KFC created competition among its
suppliers, lowering the supplier
bargaining power. In terms of human resources, labor cost is extremely low
-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
20/78
because the supply of non-skilled workers great exceeds the demand for
them. With so little buyer and supplier bargaining powers, KFC is able to
have a very tight control over its prices and expenditures.
Substitutes and Complements
As mentioned above, there are a few major competitors in the fast-food
industry
in India for KFC, namely McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Domino's and Subway.
The substitute products, in this case, would be burgers, pizza, and
sandwiches. Though they are competitors, their primary products differ
greatly from each other, in that they sell, chicken, burgers and fries, pizzas,
and sandwiches, respectively. Traditional
Indian dining, home-cooked meals, and grocery stores with ready-to-eat
foods are also substitutes, as families could choose any one of these over fast
food for a meal. These substitutes are definitely considered healthy as
compared to the fast food chains. Even foods from street vendors count as
substitute goods.
While other fast foods serve as substitute to KFC, they can also serve as
-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
21/78
complements for fast foods as a whole. If the general price of fast foods
goes up,KFCs price rises as well, and the same can be said of the quantity
sold of these products, which make them complements to each other. KFC
also sets up stores located near popular tourist attractions, so tickets to these
tourist spots are also complementary goods because the more people tour
these attractions, the more customers KFC will get.
Rivalry
Unlike what one would expect, KFC has little rivalry with similar fast-food
chains in India. The primary reason is that their core products are different,
as in they sell different kinds of fast foods with very different tastes and
styles. For example, if KFC raised its price for chicken by a small amount,
Indian chicken lovers who may not be as accepting to pizzas (many Indian
people strongly dislike the taste of cheese) are not going to switch to Pizza
Hut just because the price for KFC increased. In addition to that, these
restaurants have such different target customers that the fluctuation of price
for one restaurant is not going to affect the others. For example, a full meal
at KFC ranges about Rs. 100, whereas a full meal at Pizza Hut can cost over
Rs. 300. The drastic difference in price assures no price competition
between these restaurants.

31/78
Income of the people of urban areas is normally high and they can
afford to purchase such products, which are slightly higher in price as
compared to prevailing prices of local food in the market.
People of Urban Areas are more quality conscious than the people of
Rural Areas.
In Urban Area there lived people from every walk of life and profit
generation is easier than in Rural Areas.
Population density is higher in Urban Areas as compared to Rural
Areas, so the number of customers are more in Urban Areas.
Competitive analysis
Competitors

afford to ignore there competitors. It is very important for a marketing
managers to monitor the activities of there competitors, what they are doing?
KFC adopted such sort of strategy that there is no competitor for spicy
chicken, which is made by KFC.

Economic Analysis of Market
A market in this context refers to a number of all actual and potential buyers
of a product (Kotler et al 2003).
These buyers have a need to satisfy
their needs through exchange
(Graphic 1). These needs make up
the demand for particular products and services. Several components must

Communication

-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
34/78
be considered, as all these components have a direct or indirect impact on
KFCs success.
Changes in the below described components over the last couple of years
have led to big changes in peoples attitudes towards healthy food. It
explains why Australians today want to eat healthy and nutritious-rich food
in order to keep themselves healthy and that KFC must adjust their range of
product and their company image to appeal to these new expectations,
people have. (http://www.marketresearch.com).
Macro environment
KFC operates in a larger macro environment of forces that creates
opportunities, but also threats. (Kotler et al 2003). A company such as KFC
usually cannot influence trends in the macro environment, as they affect
people and organisations on a larger scale.
However, KFC has to carefully examine macro environmental trends and
must create competitive responses to such trends. There are six major macro
environmental forces KFC has to take into account.

Micro environment
The microenvironment consists of
all forces that are close to KFC, and
on which KFC has an impact. They
directly affect KFCs ability to
serve its customers. (Kotler et al

COMPETITORSCOMPETITORS
Because the fast food market in India is highly competitive, KFC faces a
wide number of direct and indirect competitors. KFCs main competitors are
fast food chains such as McDonalds and Dominos, which are already well
established throughout India.
McDonaldss in particular is a direct competitor, as they have already
successfully introduced their Salads plus line (http://www.theage.co.in),
which directly targets healthy food conscious Indians. But, there are a
number of other competitors that is also focusing on chicken types
products. All this competition makes it quite difficult for KFC to maintain or
even broaden their customer base. However, with the introduction of a new
and healthy product range, KFC can differentiate itself from most
competitors and will gain a competitive advantage.

37/78
CUSTOMERSCUSTOMERS
KFCs customer market consists solely of the consumer market (Kotler et al
2003). KFCs products are bought by individuals (males, females, singles,
and families). Therefore, the product range KFC offer should appeal to as
many people within this consumer market as possible, to ensure that the
maximum amount of products can be sold. The characteristics of these
individuals and a segmentation of them are discussed later in this report.
Strengths and weakness of competitor
S trengths: 38 products, Attractive Outlets, Huge Marketing, Budget, More

How they compete their competitors?
It is found that KFC compete its competitors by five ways:
KFC compete its competitors through marketing strategy
They offered different packages at different events like ramdan offer,
midnight offer etc.
KFC compete there competitors by providing good services
They must hired the hard selling persons to market their product in the
market and motivate their employees for the sake of organizations and
employees do well and they compete there competitors
KFC has quality products and through these quality products they
compete their competitors

Current Sales Analysis
Market ShareMarket Share
KFC has a very long history and has the most recognize able brand in
chicken with over 50% of the market share. It becomes difficult for the
companies like Sub way, Mc Donalds, Chicken planet, Dixie or those who
may want to enter in the market of fast food restaurants.
Due to with over 50% of the market share in fast food industry KFC has
recognition around the world and has been globally positioned for many
years in India and to capture the market share in India adopts champs
philosophy

Environmental factors and opportunities
Political :
The operations of KFC are affected by the government policies on the
regulations of fast food operation. Currently government are controlling the
-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
41/78
marketing of fast food restaurant because of health concern such as
cardiovascular and cholesterol issue and obesity among the young and
children in the country. Governments also control the license given for open
the fast food restaurant and other business regulation need to follow such as
for a franchise business. Good relationship with government in giving
mutual benefits such as employment and tax is a must for the company to
succeed in any foreign market.
Economic:
Though for last 1 year their was economic slowdown all across the globe but
the sales of KFC and other fast food chains did not slow down to that extent
that of other sectors in. The GDP (Purchasing Power Parity) is estimated at
2.965 trillion U.S. dollars in the year 2010. The GDP- per Capita (PPP) was
2700 U.S. dollars as estimated in 2008. The GDP- real growth rate in 2007
was 8.7%. India has the third highest GDP in terms of purchasing power
-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
42/78
parity just ahead Japan and behind U.S. and China. Foreign direct
investment rose in the fiscal year ended March 31 2007 to about $16 billion
from just $5.5 billion a year earlier. There is a continuous growth in per
capita income; Indias per capita income is expected to reach 1000 dollars
by the end of 2007-08 from 797 dollars in 2006-07. This will lead to higher
buying power in the Hands of the Indian consumers. So taking into
considerations the economic factors of India KFC is safe. The only danger to
it will be if there is a terrorist attack in India and the victim is KFC.
Socio cultural:
India is the second most populous nation in the world with an approximate
population of over 1.1billion people. This population is divided in the
following age structure: 0-14 years 31.8%, 15-64 years 63.1% and 65
years and above 5.1%.
There has also been a continuous increase in the consumption of fast food in
India. The social trend toward fast good consumption is changing and India
-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
43/78
has seen an increase of 90% fast food consumption from the year 2002-
2007. This increase is far greater than the increase in the BRIC nations of
Brazil (20 per cent), Russia (50 per cent) and China (almost 60 per cent).
Thus this shows a positive trend for fast food industries in India.
Technological:
The Indian fast food Industry is heating up with a lot of foreign players
entering the Indian market. The technological knowhow and expertise will
also enter the Indian market with an increase in competition. With the lower
rates and increase technology the fast food counters are attracting youth by
-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
44/78
giving them attractive deals. For e.g. KFC and Dominos pizza. For a fast
food restaurant, technology does not give a very high impact on the
company and it is not a significant macro environment variables. However
KFC should be looking to competitors innovation and improve itself in term
of integrating technology in managing its operation. For example in
inventory system, supply chain management system to manage its supply,
easy payment and ordering systems for its customers and wireless internet
technology. Implementation of technology can make the management more
effective and cost saving in the long term. This will also make customer
happy if cost savings results in price reduction or promotional campaign
discount which will benefits them from time to time.
Environmental:
As one of world largest consumer of beef, potatoes and chicken, KFC
always had been critics for world environmentalist. This is because high
consumption of beef causing the green house effect by methane gasses
coming from the cows ranch. Large-scale plantation has effect the
environment and lost of green forest opening for plantation activities.

45/78
Vegetarian environmentalist criticizes the fast-food giant for cruelty to
animals and slaughtering. In America, once KFC want to introduce whale
burger causing uproar because whales are endangered species. Before using
paper packaging, KFC once had been criticized for being insensitive to
pollution because of using ne based packaging for its food products. Imagine
millions of people purchase from fast food operator and how is the impact to
world environment by throwing away those hard to recycle packaging.
Our world is getting concern on environment issue and business operating
here should not just care for profit, but careful usage of world resources for
sustainable development and care for environment safety and health for our
future generation. Critics and concern from all public or activist should be
review and support if necessary to ensure we play our social responsibility
better.
Legal factors:
As a certified fast food operator, there are many regulations and procedures
that KFC should follow. For example is the Halal certification that becomes
a concern to Muslim consumers. KFC should protect its integrity and
consumer confidence by ensuring all materials and process are as claimed or
must followed.
-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
46/78
Other legal requirement that the business owner should follow as stipulated
in laws are such as operating hours, business registration, tax requirement,
labor and employment laws and quality & environment certification (such as
ISO) in which the outlet has been certified. The legal requirement is
important because the offenders will be fined or have their business
prohibited from operating which can be disastrous.

KFC India - BCG Matrix
CrispyBonelessChicken
Krushers
ChickenBucket
VegThali
?
Boston Consultancy Group (BCG) Matrix
Question Mark:
-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
48/78
Currently KFC have launched a new product in the market. They have also
tried to come into the beverages market by launching its new brand of
shakes called KRUSHERS. As it is a fairly new product it comes in the
category of the Question Mark in the BCG Matrix. It has a low market share
thus brings low revenue. KFC is advertising a lot to popularize this product
so there is a lot of expenditure on it. This product is individually not
bringing any profits and is a cash drain for the company. Company may
decide to completely remove this product from the market if it does not do
well soon and start bringing in revenue.
DOG:
KFCs Veg Thali comes under this category. Although company had
launched this product much earlier, it has still failed to become a success. As
KFC is known more for its non-veg food, this also results in low demand for
this item. It has a low market share and although low on expenditure (as
company does not spend on its promotion), it does not bring in much
revenue as demand is low. The product is mostly CASH NEUTRAL.
CASH COW:
-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
49/78
KFCs Chicken Bucket is the most successful product of the company. It has
the highest market share amongst all the other products. It has good demand
in the market and brings in huge sales revenue. The development and other
expenses are also low and thus this product is a CASH SIRPLUS for the
company.
STAR:
The star product of the company is its crispy Boneless Chicken. It has a high
market share and brings in high revenue. But it also has high developmental
expenditure involved. The profit therefore is generally not very high brought
in by this product. This product is CASH NEUTRAL for the firm. The
company is trying make this product a cow as well, by reducing the
expenditure
Summary of current situation
-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
50/78
SWOT analysis mean strength, weakness, opportunities and threats and the
SWOT analysis of KFC are:
STRENGTHS
Goodwill and reputation: The company certainly has earned a good
name and reputation by its previous products and services in the
market. It is even more recognised in other markets outside India,
where the company is among the leading fast food giants. The brand
is recognised and trusted in India for its quality products, price, and
customer service. It therefore has a good head start and enjoys a good
chance of becoming a leader in Indian fast food industry.
-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
51/78
Employee Loyalty: Employee Loyalty is one of the major strengths
of KFC. The turnover rate in the company is amongst the lowest in the
industry.
Customer Loyalty: Despite gain by Boston Market and Chick-fill
A, KFC customer base remained loyal to the KFC brand because
of its unique taste. KFC has continued to dominate the dinner and
take out segment of the Industry.
Ranks highest among all chicken restaurant chains for its
convenience and menu variety. It generates $1B revenue each
year.
WEAKNESSES
-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
52/78
KFC was losing market share as other Chicken chain increased
sales at a faster rate.
KFC share of Chicken Segment sales fell from 71 percent 1999 , to
less than 56 percent in 2009 , a 10 -years drop of 15 percent.
Huge competition in this segment.
India is still mostly a vegetarian dominated cultured society .
South India is especially very much so. This may reduce the market
share of the company.
KFC has not yet invested much on R&D, and innovating new
products for Indian Markets. This may lead to failure of their
products as they are not in line with the Indian mind set, peoples
taste and preferences and their likes and dislikes. This may prove
fatal for the company.

53/78
OPPURTUNITIES
New Markets: Globalisation has opened doors for new markets for
the company. As the developed markets are mostly saturated, the
developing countries like India and China promises a good market and
generation of demand in the future. With more than 70% of the
markets in india being unexplored and un organised, KFC has a good
scope of expanding its operations in the country.
Cross Culture: Generally there is a good acceptance of American
culture of fast food in India. People are opening up to fast foods more
regularly in their daily lives and not just keeping it a once in a month
affair. Thus Indian mindset is fast changing.
Large Youth population: India has a very large share of youth
population a compared to other countries. More than 60% of the
population is under the age of 30yrs. As the young generation are
more open to fast foods and demand it more, this is a good news for
the company.
New variety: Company can also come up with new variety in the
menu like Pizzas, garlic breads to attract more customers.

54/78
THREATS
Competition: Competitor companies like McDonalds are fast
catching up with the market.McDonalds with sales of more than
19 billion in 1999, accounted for 15 percent of the sales of the
nations top 100 restaurant chains.
Organisations like PETA People for Ethnic Treatment for Animals have
given a bad name to the company which may prove disastrous to the
image of the firm. Currently, KFC is under massive attacks from animal
organisations, questioning the way KFCs suppliers are threatening the
chicken, before they got slaughtered. Anti-KFC campaigns, such as the
one from PETA are affecting KFCs brand image in a negative way and
result in direct dollar losses, as less people are consuming KFC chicken
Saturated US Market: Now KFC cannot rely on just its home
market to generate sales. As the US markets are already saturated
and leave no or little scope for growth, company necessarily needs
to look at offshore foreign markets to generate sales and keep up
the profits.

BRAND:
There are three brands of the KFC:
1) Taco bell
2) Pizza Hut
3) Long john silvers
Pricing:
KFC during pricing their products keep the different points in the mind like
they adopt the cost base price strategy. Pricing of the product includes the
Government taxes and excise duties and then they come at final stage of
determine the price of their products. KFC prices of products are a bit high
according to the market segment and it is also compatible to the stander of
their products.
Calculation of the price under Cost Based Pricing Strategy:
-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
60/78
Total Pounds of Chicken Served in KFC Restaurant Annually = 1.914
Billion
Total KFC Chicken Pieces Sold Annually = 5.89 Billion
Total Retail Sales = $8.9 Billion
Sales Price of per Chicken Piece = Total Retail Sales / Chicken Pieces
sold
= $8.9 Billion / $5.89 Billion
=$1.51
We assume that Fixed Cost is = $6000000000
Variable Cost = $675000000
Profit Margin is Or Mark Up = $225000000(25% of Sales)
Per Unit Variable Cost = $675000000 / 5890000000
= $ 0.115
Unit Cost = Variable Cost + Fixed Cost / Chicken pieces Sold
= 0.115 + 6000000000 / 5890000000
= 0.115 + 1.02
-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
61/78
= $1.135
Now suppose manufacturer wants to earn 25% mark up on sale. The
manufacturer mark up price is calculated:
Mark Up Price = Unit Cost / (1 Desired Return on Sales)
=1.135 / (1-.25)
= 1.135 / 0.75
= $1.51
Promotion:
Promotion is one of the necessary plates in any form of business or in other
words you can say that promotion is the key of success. If you promote your
product at the right time. KFC also known the importance and significance
of promotion so they uses the bill boards the major source of advertisement
and one of the most important thing that they uses media especially the
newspapers to promote their products. They are also creating awareness
among the masses about their existing product range as well they tell us
about the future product.

Marketing efforts to be taken by the restaurant:
Paste delivery posters at petrol pumps, flats, colleges, plazas, and
departmental stores.
Distribution of delivery flyers in residential areas, markets, plazas and
institutions (as per the plan)
Visit offices and business places.
Placement:
In the case of the KFC the placement of the product is not important but the
placement of the restaurant is important. The products of the KFC is cooked
at the sport and then served after that. KFC Cavalry branch opened in June
1998, in the main commercial zone of Cavalry Grounds near the Jinnah
Flyover. The restaurant is a three-story building including the basement
(where the chicky play area is located). It is ideally located in the center of a
main commercial and residential area of Lahore. The area that KFC Cavalry
caters for is the residential and office area of Cavalry Grounds and Cantt, as
-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
63/78
the main target market. Another branch the KFC opened in the Lahore is in
Garden Town (opposite to Barkat Market). KFC also target the Faisalabad
and open its branch in D ground. Now we can easily judge that the KFC
target the place for their restaurant, which is well known and is in the
Porsche area where the income level of the people is high then the middle
class level. Because the prices of the KFC products is high with comparison
to the local products manufacturer who are dealing in the same kind of
product in which KFC is dealing but the prices of the KFC is high due to
special taste, high quality, and due to international brand, it is the world
recognized fast food restaurant all around the world. So, for the placing
strategy, KFC chose the well income class area for their restaurants.

Packaging
We are asked as many questions on our packaging as our products by our
customers. The
packaging forKFC products is chosen according to performance against
three key criteria:
Heat Retention
Moisture removal
-
7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
66/78
Grease absorption
The packaging material and carton design are all adapted to maximise
performance against these three criteria.
Recycled Paper
All our clamshells and chicken boxes contain as much recycled material as it
is legally
allowed. By law we are required to have virgin fibre board in any part of the
packaging that is in contact with food. Any virgin fibre comes from board
suppliers who use pulp bought from managed forest in Scandinavia. This
ensures that any wood cut for paper production is replaced with new
plantings.
Environmental concerns
Over and above ensuring our packaging is supplied via recycled or
renewable resources;
KFC are enthusiastically complying with the new environmental directives
on recovery and recycling of packaging waste.
Litter
We at KFC UKI are aware of our responsibilities to the Management of
Litter and all our packaging carries the Keep your Country Tidy signs

Branding
This research measured and compared the brand identity of Kentucky Fried
Chicken (KFC) in India. Brand identity was defined as the customer
impressions of four different KFC identity elements - properties, products,
presentations, and publications. A survey of young consumers in the
countries (n = 795), showed that the respondents were more apt to eat within
KFC restaurants, and spend more time doing so, than the Americans. The
Chinese also had much more positive impressions of KFC. Brand identity
-

impressions were correlated with overall customer satisfaction and with
future patronage intentions for both groups. These findings support a model
where differences in cultural frames of reference lead consumers to actively
localize the brand identity of this nominally globalized product.
Promotion Issues
Sales promotion
For the sales pormotion KFC introduced their goods like watches ,
keychain, e.t.c to the customers.

The advert titled Pool was done by OGILVY & MATHER, New Delhi
advertising agency for KFC ZINGER BURGER (KFC company) in INDIA.
It was released in the June 2009. Business sector is Fast food outlets &
restaurants.
One of KFC's latest advertisements is a commercial advertising its "wicked
crunch box meal". The commercial features a fictional black metal band
called "Hellvetica" performing live, the lead singer then swallows fire. The
commercial then shows the lead singer at a KFC eating the "wicked crunch
box meal" and saying "Oh man that is hot".
In 2007, the original, non-acronymic Kentucky Fried Chicken name was
resurrected and began to reappear on company marketing literature and food
packaging, as well as some restaurant signage.

Thank You
The data we received is as follows:
We did a survey on KFC on people with age group of mostly 20-25yrs.
Mostly all were open to non-veg food, and following were the results. As
seen below KFC has shown a good report on all the micro factors that we
considered.

7/28/2019 23243334 Kfc Project on Market Research (1)
77/78
DATA INTERPRETATION -
It is clear from the above report that a high number of people actually like to
order from their home or workplace rather than coming. This may be due to
more convienence, time shortage or just not willing to come and dine.
Certainly the home delivery market is huge and KFC can take well
advantage of the situation. Thus it would be in the best interest of the
company to start the service as soon as possible and capitalise on the
opportunity. KFC expects a rise in the orders by at least 20% by starting this
service.
Therefore, to conclude we would say that KFC should definitely have a
home delivery service.
