KFC’s Fighting for the Last Domain
“KFC is taking the leading role of China’s fast food industry”, quoted CBN. Statistics have shown that, by the year of 2004, Captain Sanders has defeated McDonald’s by opening chain stores twice as rapidly as its main opponent. After the operation of KFC’s latest branch in Sanya Hainan, the total amount of fast-food restaurants of KFC has overwhelmingly reached 1200 in China. Only in the coastal city Shanghai in 2004, the number of KFC’s shops had hit 143 with 35 new operations, whereas McDonald’s had pathetically added merely 4 new chain stores.
This is an absolute triumph for KFC and the trophy for the victor is the total turnover by 2004 of 6 billion RMB and the favor of 1.2 billion Chinese people. Considering such a colossal cake of China’s fast food market with few domestic competitors, McDonald’s doubtlessly will fight KFC as drastically as it can till the last standing man. So will the other fast food tycoons such as Burger King, which has recently landed in China, plunging into the strife.
However, competition between Cpt. Sanders and Uncle McDonald has never been so incandesced, for Mr. Sanders was always a loser. Providing a tour around Europe and America, it will be convenient for you to notice that McDonald’s and Burger King have ruthlessly occupied almost all the airports, department stores and downtown areas, leaving no room for newcomers. In a nutshell, KFC in those two continents is no match for McDonald’s.
Nevertheless, in 1990s a glimpse of hope from China, a then virgin land for fast food industry, illuminated the head of KFC. It decisively made for China, exceeding its rivals and, as a result, the past decade manifested that this decision was utterly excellent.
It is believed that there are three main reasons leading to the success of KFC in China. First and foremost, KFC just picked the best timing. When KFC invaded China’s food market, it was right the crackle of China’s economy and the people were thirsty for foreign products. Thereby, it should be no wonder why KFC grew so rapidly in China. Second, the strategy for material selection. As we all know, the chief meat used in KFC’s snacks is chicken, not beef or steak that are widely used in McDonald’s. Chicken is milder and softer than beef and steak, therefore fitter to Chinese digestive system and dietetic traditions. Last but not least, KFC has managed to accommodate itself to Chinese culture vice versa. It applies Chinese traditional recipe to western cooking method, herefrom presenting authentic Chinese-savored food like Spicy Diced Chicke inspired from Sichuan, Egg Tart from Macao, and Dragon Twister from Peking.
To conclude, KFC’s marvelous victory in China is another business miracle owing to fine business skill and foresight. Humorously, some Chinese attribute the success to the wise choice of the mascot, that is, a more sophisticated image of a fatherly white-bearded rather than a ludicrous clown.
