colonel’s cooking is available in more then 82 countries around the world. When the
colonel was six, his father died. His mother was forced to go to work, and young
Harland had to take care of his three year old brother and baby sister. This meant
doing much of the family cooking. By the age of seven, he was a master of a score of
regional dishes. At age 10, his first job working on a nearby farm for $2 a month.

years, first as a 15-year-old streetcar conductor in New Albany, Ind., and then as a
16-year-old private, soldiering for six months in Cuba. After that he was a railroad

stopped at his service station in Corbin, KY. He didn’t have a restaurant then, but
served folks on his own dining table in the living quarters of his service station. As
more people started coming just for food, he moved across the street to a motel and
restaurant that seated 142 people. Over the next nine year, he perfected his secret
blend of 11 herbs and spices and the basic cooking technique that is
still used today.

KFC Facts

Presently KFC has provided employment to over 1200
Pakistanis, which adds up to 6000 individuals directly
dependent on KFC Pakistan.
The Government of Pakistan receives over Rs.10 to 11 million per month from
KFC Pakistan as direct taxes.
95% of all food and packaging material used in KFC Pakistan is procured
locally, which sums up to a purchase of over Rs.35 million per month.
Organizational Structure:
The KFC adopted traditional structure for their outlets that other
food chains are following. There is one General Manager for Pakistan. The outlet is
leaded by the Manager, assisted by two
assistant managers, and one shift in-charge for each shift, that supervises the
performance of counter workers and kitchen workers.
Competition:
KFC does not consider Mc Donald’s are its direct competitors. As Mc
Donald’s has a limited menu and cater to different segments of society
e.g. Mc Donald is catering to lower middle society of Pakistan. Though
KFC has faced a little competition from local restaurants but their
breakeven in terms of revenue has been done and they are planning to
expand further to other cities like Islamabad and Peshawar.
Customers
KFC’s customer market consists solely of the consumer market (Kotler et al 2003).
KFC’s products are bought by individuals (males, females, singles, and families).
Therefore, the product range KFC offer should appeal to as many people within this
consumer market as possible, to ensure that the maximum amount of products can

Porters Five Force Analysis
Entry
For the current Pakistan market for fast food, it is not difficult for a fast food
restaurant to enter the market. However, it would be extremely difficult to take
over already running major fast food chains' dominancy in Pakistan or even make
a significant amount of profit. While there are enough people in urban Pakistan for
any restaurant to survive, KFC holds the first-mover advantage into the 'non-veg
food specialty food segment' that gives them free reputation. Customers, especially
children who are used to going to KFC as a treat or reward from their parents or
grandparents, are not going to want to go to other restaurants they’ve never heard
of. The brand name is already established. Also, there is already a large variety in
the numerous western-style dining places in Pakistan, such as
McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, Domino's and Subway, and any new fast-food entrants
would just be presenting something very similar to what’s already there. While
small
14
Neighborhood restaurants generally have low barriers to entry,
these are the barriers to entry for similar restaurant businesses
to enter the fast-food chain market.
As mentioned above, there are a few major competitors in the fast-food industry
in Pakistan for KFC, namely McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, Domino's and Subway. The
substitute products, in this case, would be burgers, pizza, and sandwiches. Though
they are competitors, their primary products differ greatly from each other, in that
they sell, chicken, burgers and fries, pizzas, and sandwiches, respectively.
Traditional
Pakistan dining, home-cooked meals, and grocery stores with ready-to-eat foods
are also substitutes, as families could choose any one of these over fast food for a
meal. These substitutes are definitely considered healthy as compared to the fast
food chains. Even foods from street vendors count as substitute goods.
While other fast foods serve as substitute to KFC, they can also serve as
complements for fast foods as a whole. If the general price of fast foods goes up,
KFC’s price rises as well, and the same can be said of the quantity sold of these
products, which make them complements to each other. KFC also sets up stores
located near popular tourist attractions, so tickets to these tourist spots are also
complementary goods because the more people tour these attractions, the more
customers KFC will get.
Rivalry
Unlike what one would expect, KFC has little rivalry with similar fast-food
15
chains in Pakistan. The primary reason is that their core
products are different, as in they sell different kinds of fast
foods with very different tastes and styles. For example, if
KFC raised its price for chicken by a small amount, Pakistan
chicken lovers who may not be as accepting to pizzas (many Pakistan people
strongly dislike the taste of cheese) are not going to switch to Pizza Hut just
because the price for KFC increased. In addition to that, these restaurants
have such different target customers that the fluctuation of price for one
restaurant is not going to affect the others. For example, a full meal at KFC
ranges about Rs. 100, whereas a full meal at Pizza Hut can cost over Rs. 300.
The drastic difference in price assures no price competition between these
restaurants.

Boston Consultancy Group (BCG) Matrix
Question Mark:
Currently KFC have launched a new product in the market. They have also tried to
come into the beverages market by launching its new brand of shakes called
KRUSHERS. As it is a fairly new product it comes in the category of the Question
Mark in the BCG Matrix. It has a low market share thus brings low revenue. KFC is
advertising a lot to popularize this product so there is a lot of expenditure on it. This
product is individually not bringing any profits and is a cash drain for the
company. Company may decide to completely remove this product from the market
if it does not do well soon and start bringing in revenue.
DOG:
KFC’s Veg Thali comes under this category. Although company had launched this
product much earlier, it has still failed to become a success. As KFC is known more
for its non-veg food, this also results in low demand for this item. It has a low
market share and although low on expenditure (as company does not spend on its
promotion), it does not bring in much revenue as demand is low. The product is
mostly CASH NEUTRAL.
CASH COW:
KFC’s Chicken Bucket is the most successful product of the company. It has the
highest market share amongst all the other products. It has good demand in the
market and brings in huge sales revenue. The development and other expenses are
also low and thus this product is a CASH SIRPLUS for the company.
STAR:
The star product of the company is its crispy Boneless Chicken. It has a high market
share and brings in high revenue. But it also has high developmental expenditure
involved. The profit therefore is generally not very high brought in by this product.
This product is CASH NEUTRAL for the firm.The company is trying make this
product a cow as well, by reducing the expenditure.
KFC fast-food chains are currently under the restaurant division of PepsiCo
Incorporated. Some major threats include the changing attitudes of society toward
healthier eating habits, KFC has more than 9,800 outlets located in 77 countries. In
marketing, KFC restaurants are not restricted from locating within close proximity
of other KFC restaurants. There are two alternative strategies for KFC. The first
strategy involves keeping PepsiCo beverage division and snack foods division
together, and a divestiture of PepsiCo restaurant division; selling Taco Bell, Pizza
Hut, and KFC.

KFC Target Market:
KFC targets the young generation, as here in this country
the young generation is more towards eating out and is more
energetic. It targets the early single segment that is the upper class.

Market Segmentation:
Previously they were focusing on single segment that was through Niche
Marketing by offering “Combo Deals”. Now they are focusing more on other
classes as well. They are dealing in masses by introducing value deals; most
recently introduced “Zinger Junior”.
Benefits:
Colonel’s value combo meals introduced previously were expensive and so
there were less sales but through their recent offers, they have increased the sales by
offering low prices.
Purpose:
Inflation highly affects the purchasing power of the customers. And here the
purchasing power of many customers is low. To cover this major segment, they
have introduced affordable meals, so that it is in reach of the masses.

The people here need a friendly and family restaurant, which must be
affordable for them.
