KFC runs out of chicken

[BrabusMog]

I'm amazed they have allowed this to go so wrong. Some ops guys are surely for the chop after this.

Fun fact - Nando's and KFC get some of their chickens from the same supplier.

Looks like the chickens are coming home to roost for KFCs recent supplier change...

People who work at KFC only ever seem to have half clue. If you go to McD, then the people there have noticeably more clue.

I've been to KFCs in normal opening hours, without any meat substitution crisis, and they have still been out of chicken.

Never ceases to amaze me how KFC outlets at motorway services always fail to predict lunch time rush hour and are woefully underprepared.

On that topic, I notice that Eurotunnel failed to predict the half term rush last week.

They use CHICKENS?

To drive the trucks. You couldn't make it up.

Meanwhile, the chickens organise themselves...

John Boulter, managing director of retail at DHL Supply Chain UK & Ireland, said: “ We intend to re-write the rulebook and create a stock management, distribution and reverse logistics model based on best practice from a range of sectors including foodservice logistics.”

Certainly rewrote the rules about delivering on time!

is that like Jamie Oliver and Wetherspoons getting their steak form the same place.

Although in this instance not for much longer with the wobbly tongued cheeky chappy it seems

One assumes that DHL, when bidding for the contract, would have made assurances that they could handle it and would have made internal logistical arrangements to cover it

Meanwhile...in the real world
Bid for contract.
Undercut everyone else.
Panic when they accept.

Private sector- they actually have to account for their actions/failures.

Several days ago numerous KFC's across the South West closed as they reported they did not have chips! All smacks of a bit of a balls up all round, our local KFC has been closed since last Thursday.
