"KFC said more than 97% of its restaurants were now open for business, but there would be "some limited menus" before full service was resumed."

If they still have 3% of sites shut then whoever handles logistics needs a kick up the ass.

On a semi-related note, in my younger years I was the manager for a KFC in Manchester, and even 20 years ago the planning to balance orders in advance against usage and wastage was a nightmare. I once ran out of fresh chicken bits (except burger stuff) because the IRA decided to plant some "devices" under bridges on the M6, and my delivery was fecked. Had all sorts of wisecracks from the locals.

They fuedup. They did a big bang start up, not enough staff, lots of Dhl senior managers for the chop. In fairness to Dhl it was a joint fup with Qsl.

I wonder what price they stated hehe

I'm surprised to see no mention of any resignations, at KFC and at DHL. You would expect a head or two to have rolled at each.

Well that's good that they sorting it but the local Mps should be getting behind my demand for enquiry and apology for KFC that I am tweeting on my twitter

Even a leg or a few drumsticks would have been a start........
