KFC belongs to Yum! Brands, one of the largest catering groups in the world. Since 1987, the first restaurant in Chinese mainland has opened in Qianmen Street. After more than 20 years of development, KFC has opened more than 3,000 chain restaurants in more than 500 cities in Chinese mainland, covering all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in Chinese mainland except Tibet. It is one of the largest and fastest-growing fast food chain enterprises in China.

"not starting from scratch" joining mode

In August 2000, the first KFC franchise store was officially handed over in liyang city, Changzhou. With the continuous development of franchisees, the proportion of franchisees in KFC is increasing. In the future, franchise business will be one of the most important business sectors of KFC.

KFC adopted a "not from scratch" joining mode in China. The franchise of "not starting from scratch" is to transfer a mature KFC restaurant to a franchise applicant who has passed the qualification evaluation, and at the same time authorize it to continue to operate under the KFC brand. That is to say, franchisees take over an already opened KFC restaurant instead of opening a new one, so franchisees don't have to build from scratch, avoiding a lot of complicated work of choosing their own sites, preparing to open stores and recruiting and training new employees. Site selection is often the key to success. Taking over a mature KFC restaurant from Yum! in China will greatly reduce the risk of franchisees and increase their chances of success.

According to KFC's franchise development plan, choose a suitable "alternative franchise store" from the existing KFC restaurants. For applicants who have passed the qualification evaluation, restaurants within the scope of "alternative franchise stores" are recommended for evaluation. Applicants cannot specify the restaurant or city to join.

Kfc joining application conditions

At present, only the franchise mode of "not starting from scratch" is open, and KFC will not accept applications for opening new stores in a certain area for the time being.

KFC adopts the form of single-store franchise, and all franchisees do not enjoy exclusive rights in regions or business districts.

If the applicant has insufficient funds, he can apply together with the partners, but the proportion of his own funds must be greater than 30%. After joining successfully, the main applicant should play the role of "main operator", that is, be responsible for handling daily business matters and managing the restaurant personally, and the partners will not participate in the daily operation and management of the restaurant.
