Beyond that first step into what you can only describe as heaven, the luscious smell of succulent chicken spreads through the air as you take a giant whiff of the fresh, tender loins. Time skips a moment as you can’t help but salivate as all your dreams and urges are fulfilled in this one moment of time. Your heart skips a beat thinking about eating those succulent chicken breasts as you summon the courage to satisfy and throw yourself into those dirty, mouthwatering urges and almost… forbidden impulses. But before you give into the luscious crispy taste of dead chickens, you can't help but wonder what magical secrets lie on the other side of the counter. Forget about the Willie Wonka factory, the true wonders of this world lie behind that KFC counter…

THE OPEN KITCHEN
On Saturday 23rd August 2014 we're opening our kitchens so you can see first hand all the work and care that goes into making your favourite chicken.

      What does KFC have to do with how their suppliers work? They don't raise their own chickens.

      • fantombloo on 28/07/2014 - 12:56
        +1

        No, but the amount they pay their suppliers ensures what sort of standards are (not) being kept.

      • Mr Matyo on 28/07/2014 - 18:37
        +1

        they could easily demand certain conditions if they actually cared. the supplier would provide chickens as per kfc's exact specifications. they can't pass the buck on that, although them and people who want to justify allowing cruelty to make money or eat cheap food will try

      Good for you. Why did you comment on a deal about a fast food chicken place? Was it so you could make a big deal about your voluntary diet?

    Real smart KFC, allowing people to book up to 6 tickets at a go.

    Sensibly speaking, only 12-18 ppl in each tour group so as to be manageable, all you need is for 3 clowns to book 6 tickets each and it's sold out.
    Even if you run 2 sessions only 6 clowns needed to wipe out the whole thing.

    Why don't you just restrict it to 2 tickets per person and give everyone a chance?

    • shmahoo on 28/07/2014 - 11:17

      ofey - "Even if you run 2 sessions only 6 clowns needed to wipe out the whole thing."

        I actually admire the teenagers who work in fast food restaurants. They are learning important lessons about the value of money. The training, processes, and corporate structure of companies like KFC and McDonalds are highly effective and intelligent and serve people well as they progress in their careers too.

        • t_c on 28/07/2014 - 13:00

          And also learn that the true value in a human being is not the 120 volts as the matrix would have them believe but rather the tax dollars one earns for the government each week.

    Hi OzBargainer and OzB's Brother

    Thanks for signing up to KFC Open Kitchen Day however I am sorry to say that due to a booking issue with the suburb store we will need to cancel your upcoming visit.

    I do apologise for any disappointment this may cause and in an effort to make it up to you I would like to send you out a voucher so you can enjoy some KFC on us.

    If you can get back to me with your best mailing address and I will ensure this is arranged for you.

    Kind Regards

      You still got a voucher out of it though!

      If that's not enough, you could always express that you are still extremely interested in a kitchen tour and ask them to consider what could be arranged.

      • nailsforlunch on 21/08/2014 - 18:06

        I hope it's a free voucher though. If they try and send me a BOGOF voucher… >:(

        and was actually kinda interested in the tour. I'll un-neg if my voucher is half good. They said they'd send A voucher… yet two of us going… If we only get 1 voucher for food for 1 of us…

        Happy to un-neg depending on result.

  • mini2 on 23/08/2014 - 12:54

    Went to the Chatswood store, apparently no one turned up to the 10am session even though it's fully booked out and we are the only people that turned up at the 11am session. Extremely pleased with our host's effort and definitely can see most staff are genuine about putting their workplace on display. Great effort, gave us a large meal instead of small ans fresh chicken > stuff we usually get!

    • BewareOfThe Dog on 23/08/2014 - 17:29

      Yes my host gave me extras (as per my thread), but I would have been happy with the 2 piece feed. I even offered to pay for my 600ml Pepsi Max before I started the tour. I am still full from earlier, & still don't feel hungry. ;-)

  • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2014 - 15:06

    I slept in and didn't go to it. Feel kinda bad now.

  • BewareOfThe Dog on 23/08/2014 - 17:24

    Hi I went. Regrettably I was the only one there as my daughter had a migraine & my son had to look after her. My host was very good and stressed how everything is made as fresh as possible. I was given a smell of the seasoning, and he was interested what I could pick in regards to the 'Herbs & Spices'. Having done a great deal of research & tried to copy, the process is next to impossible unless you have one of their 'hennypenny' pressure cookers. The process from putting the chicken in, until the final product is ready takes " 15 minutes. The guy who does the seasoning is brilliant & very thorough. No doubt this varies from store to store. The gravy is a powder mixed with leftover stock etc from the pressure cookers.
    The other thing he wanted to stress is that the reason sometimes orders may take so long is when a large order is in place, and this takes up most of their screen ( I suggested that it might be time to update to some bigger screens). Also, when you have an order where one person orders several burgers, and has each one customised, can delay any simple orders.
    My host also gave me more than the minimum specified, but I didn't tell you that. ;-)

  • BewareOfThe Dog on 23/08/2014 - 17:26

    My host also said, that if today is successful all round, they may have further tours in the future at selected stores.
