KFC have really dropped DHL in it, very blatantly blaming the issues on their new delivery partner. Surely an operation of that size and importance requires both companies to work together on the delivery schedule. Not convinced the problems can be 100% attributed to one partner.
Well, I'd assume the restaurants haven't moved and nor have the suppliers. The orders will be pretty much the same as usual, barring perhaps some extra stock in areas where it's half term...I'd say it looks very like it's close to 100% DHL's fault, yeah.
hmmmm, maybe bidvest sabotaged the transition?

Good job the weather isn't better or it would be the London Riots all over again.
Thankfully, London is owned by >insert witty variation< independent 'chicken shops' to keep the locals fed.
Yes, Morley's and Favourable Chicken to name but two.

I used to love Morley's in Elephant & Castle. So, so cheap.

There was also a great chicken shop next to Mile End tube station, can't remember the name but it was just a 2 mins walk from mine, when I first started working from home I used to go there every day for lunch. I got fat very quickly!

I bet DHL only got the contract because they offered to do it for a paltry sum....

My money is on this or perhaps just st DHL management, which has been known in the past.

Although you do have to give DHL credit where it's due, they've had the F1 contract for over a decade and all the kit seems gets to the circuit every week or so and the races go ahead.

Maybe you get what you pay for... Though F1 is more predictable for volume and timings.
