Did you know that an New KFC opens every five hours? And they plan on ramping that up. This morning I was reading about how KFC wants to triple the number of stores they have. Right now there are a little over 25,000 around the world. They want it at 75,000. A lot of that growth is in China, but they’re also eyeballing Russia and the Middle East. KFC is the biggest chain in China and they’re actually considered upscale in some countries. When I was in Jamaica, locals told me that people will dress up and take the whole family in on special occasions.
KFC also has plans to utilize more robotics and they plan on working augmented reality glasses into employee training.
I’m really curious about the augmented reality glasses thing. Are they going to be able to pull up computer screens and menus out of thin air? Or maybe it’ll let them remotely control cooking equipment. Maybe some teenager can be on his mom’s couch and still dip some wings in a fryer. Or, and this would be the best thing in my book, maybe it’ll help them learn how to count change back.
