News Desk, News Nation 360 : Since the first KFC restaurant opened its doors in India in 1995, the company has established a strong presence there and is dedicated to providing scaled-up, mouthwatering food through inclusive, equitable, and sustainable business practices. KFC opened its 1000th location in India as evidence of its commitment to expanding deliberately alongside the nation. This marks an important turning point in the company's more than 25-year history. In terms of operations and products, the brand has also been at the forefront of tech disruptions in the QSR sector. Modern technology powers over twenty of KFC's all-digital Smart Restaurants, facilitating much faster and easier access for customers. Additionally, the fast food chain has installed self-ordering digital kiosks and app ordering throughout its locations. In celebration of the 1000th restaurant's launch, KFC has promised to provide food rations to 1000 impoverished families in India. Moksh Chopra, General Manager, KFC India & Partner Countries said that KFC is honoured to be a part of franchise partners' and India's growth story. KFC is a national brand with a local heart that is dedicated to expanding within the country. They are particularly proud of their restaurant teams, especially the specially-abled teams, who have been instrumental in their success. They are appreciative of the nation's citizens' love and eager for India and its future to continue growing together. KFC's strong commitment to both people and the environment is what drives its growth. The primary Diversity and Inclusivity initiative of KFC, Kshamata, aims to close the gender and ability gap by doubling the number of Special KFCs (restaurants run by employees with speech and hearing impairments) and growing the company's female workforce by two times. In ten years, KFC has expanded to 42 Special KFC locations and employs more than 220 people with speech and hearing impairments. In an attempt to help 1000 local eateries and fast-food chains rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic, the company introduced KFC's India Sahyog in 2021. The 1000th KFC restaurant can be found at DLF Cyber Hub, a well-liked shopping destination in Gurgaon. It is the brand's first restaurant in India with 100% table service, run and managed entirely by women.
