  1. KFC’s Multinational Differences Between China& The United States By: Joe Hornfield &ShannynHyland

  2. Company Background KFC was originally founded in Louisville, Kentucky and is now available in over 105 different countries. China being one of their most successful. KFC entered China in 1987 and was the first “quick-service” restaurant. KFC in China is currently the largest fast food chain which dominates the market in comparison to competitors such as McDonalds. In the United States, KFC is known for their famous southern style chicken recipe. As they expanded and entered new markets, KFC has evolved and now offers a wide variety of non traditional items which is key to their success.

  3. Target Markets United States China Similar to the United States. KFC targets families, young adults, and children. Busy, young professionals. Highly populated cities • Families consisting of 3 to 5 individuals • Gender: Both Males and Females • Age: 6-65, large range due to their family-meals (buckets) • Convenience: Affordable family size meals that are easy and quick. • KFC’s large target market is due to their unique family oriented menu as well as their individual items.

  4. Market Strategiesin China Create a localized menu. Enter into large, highly populated cities such as Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai. Branch out into smaller cities as brand preference increases. KFC’s success in China is due to their unique product modifications. Where other fast food chains kept their original recipes, KFC adapted to fit the cultures of their consumers.

  5. Market Strategies in the U.S. KFC has kept their original chicken recipe in the United States due to its popular demand. As health concerns increased, KFC has made slight modifications to their menu by offering alternatives such as grilled chicken. They primarily target moderate income level households and incorporate promotional offerings such as family-meals that are fast and affordable.

  6. Product ComparisonMenu Differences United States China China has an large menu consisting of the original recipe chicken as well as seafood, beef items, fresh vegetables, soups, desserts, and other items that appeal to the Chinese consumers’ taste. Some of their popular dishes include a spicy tofu chicken rice and a chicken wrap covered in a duck-sauce. • The U.S. menu still consists of the original chicken recipe with side dishes including macaroni and cheese, mash potatoes and gravy, corn and biscuits. • KFC also serves grilled chicken for the health conscious consumers. • Promotional items such as chicken-wings and chicken sandwiches are offered throughout the year.

China- Mainly located in large, highly populated cities. Promotion: U.S.- Coupons available via KFC website China- Coupons available via KFC website, home delivery is also offered

  10. Cultural & Legal Considerations American families,on average are much larger than Chinese families, so the traditional KFC family bucket is not relevant for many Chinese families. KFC is more prevalent in larger Chinese cities so the home delivery is ideal for people who do not have cars, or do not want to sit in traffic etc.Many American families have their own cars, and are more willing to pick their meal up. Seafood is an essential to many Chinese diets, while many Americans do not eat seafood regularly.
