After the $1 Zinger horror show on Sat 1st July, we can only hope for some solace today. With $5 for the combo - there should be less of a rush. 3-5pm only

On the 3rd Day of Deals, the proof is in the CRUNCH. Get your Zinger® Crunch Burger with the bonus regular chips and drink 🍴 That’s a Christmas meal for a fiver.

FAQ:

Q:Can I order and pickup after 5pm?
A: Yes, you can order anytime between 3-5pm AEST and then check-in to collect atleast 30mins before the store closing hour. For e.g if your preferred store closes at 6pm, the last time you can check-in is 5.29pm

Conditions: Pick up only and whilst stock lasts. Available today only, not everywhere.

      haha ikr - I'm hoping they've learnt their lesson! If not, I'd say ban KFC store from OzB. I know for a fact they really profited on Sat by getting customers into their store, not honoring the $1 deal, and getting them to spend higher on other menu items. Waiting for a response from KFC otherwise it qualifies for an ACCC complaint.

        Was this anything more than their servers shitting the bed? Not going to read 9 pages on the other deal.

          Probably, some are claiming it was deliberate but there was probably massive demand for $1 burgers.
          Some stores honoured it in store, others denied it.

          I did and it was mainly comments to neg the deal. Seemed like it was the app dying for the whole promo period until the last 20-40 minutes in WA which is when you got a bunch of people showing off they live in the best state

          • NeggerOfDeals on 03/07/2023 - 14:22

            We need to take this to the ombudsman solely because of this.

        • AutomationGuy on 03/07/2023 - 14:04

          Probably not, but if the same thing happens every time they host a major sale offer (which does happen for KFC), then it is entirely predictable that they will not be able to honour the promotion.

      ik ik - but I'll give them the benefit of doubt given it was Day1. Yesterday the app seemed to work fine for the 30 nuggets although I didn't buy since it was poor value if you can air fry or oven bake the same at home for less than half of KFC's promo price. Just shows how overpriced Maccas & KFC nuggs are!

  • doddsyv1 on 03/07/2023 - 11:52

      I don't think $10 for nuggets was nearly as popular and server-demanding than the $1 burger would have been

        In comparison, imagine how Maccas managed to supply $1 McChicken in its past promos. Hats off to Maccas for pulling that off flawlessly.

          Yeah, KFC servers were quite poop on Saturday. Must be the new app, because I remember their promotions working fine enough the previous years

          Operations management on point… order $1 mcchicken and less than 3 minute wait, with order number 20 from first call out. They were hammering out the specials.

          Great scaling operation.

    If the app works for this one I wonder if I'll be able to edit the burger, get rid of the corn chips and slaw and get lettuce instead.

    • nsingh21 on 03/07/2023 - 12:15
      +2

      yes you WILL be able, subject to the app/server not crashing at 3pm. Removing the slaw and corn chips will degrade this to a normal zinger burger. Although you might wanna remove slaw and load up on lettuce instead.

        Companys average cost a hundred to get a new customer by ads or promotion and don't even need to download the app also waste about 10 mins just trying to log in on 1st,not going to try the luck and deleted the app already.

      KFC has been around in Australia since 1968.

      You're calling them a scam company because you couldn't get $1 burger? They clearly underestimated the number of ozb users/advertising for the promotion and servers were overwhelmed for the 1st day of promotion.

      Companys average cost a hundred to get a new customer by ads or promotion and don't even need to download the app also waste about 10 mins just trying to log in on 1st,not going to try the luck and deleted the app already.

      You think they got new customers from people not being able to use the app for any purchases? They would also have lost sales from regular users who wanted to use the app to buy something during that time too.

      • yuisakas on 03/07/2023 - 13:13

                  Do you believe that KFC intentionally withheld the burgers from people? That they ran this promotion without ever intending to honour the deal (despite honouring these deals dozens of times in the past)?

                  Do you have proof of this? Because if you do, ACCC would probably love to hear it. If you have no proof then… where is your definition fitting into the word "scam"?

      Fancy customers feeling entitled to something that was advertised prominently for days in advance by the company on social media, in-store, and on their app; many of whom would have made a special trip to the place to avail themselves of the advertised deal.

      Yes, but remember you MUST check-in 30mins prior to your store closing hours. E.g if your store closes at 6pm, you will have to check-in by 5.29pm and arrive there before 6pm. Note: your food will be getting cold between 5.29 to the time you actually arrive.

        you are correct although my local kfc is being sly because even though they close at 10pm and i have until 9:30pm to put the order, i've recently found out that they are closing by 9pm and not accepting any orders or anyone in the shop even though the app allows you to order till 9:30pm.

      • CodeXD on 03/07/2023 - 14:08

        You can add promo items to your cart and make the purchase. Then during dinner, you go to kfc and actually check-in on the app and that is when they start making it.

        So you can still get it fresh during dinner time if you managed to check out.
