LOUISVILLE, Ky. and
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
Kentucky Fried Chicken and DoorDash are excited to announce the
world's best fried chicken is available for on-demand delivery.
Customers are now just a few clicks, swipes and taps away from a
valuable, whole meal replacement from KFC delivered straight to
their door by DoorDash. DoorDash will initially deliver from KFC
restaurants in the San Francisco Bay
Area, Los Angeles and
Orange County, with delivery
expanding to other cities in the coming months.
The Colonel believed that families deserve a break from the
kitchen and that meal replacements should be plentiful and valuable
when made "the hard way" by KFC cooks. Now busy families can enjoy
the world's best chicken, which is hand prepared in-store every
day, without having to leave the comfort of home. Via DoorDash, KFC
is offering delivery of complete meal replacements, such as the
$20 Family Fill Up which comes with 8
pieces of chicken, 2 large mashed potatoes and gravy, 1 large
coleslaw and 4 biscuits; making dinner time for a family of four
even easier.
"Decades ago, people traveled from miles around to visit Colonel
Sanders' original Corbin, KY
restaurant to taste his now world famous Original Recipe Chicken.
Through our partnership with DoorDash, customers will now be able
to order an affordable meal combination like the $20 Family Fill Up or individual $5 Fill-Up, or choose from the menu a la carte
style," says KFC US chief information officer, Chris Caldwell. "When we began exploring
delivery options for KFC, we quickly found DoorDash was the right
choice. Both companies believe the customer comes first and
DoorDash's commitment to customer experience made them the best
partner for us to get the world's best fried chicken directly to
our customers' doors."
Today's partnership with KFC highlights DoorDash's growing
momentum leading the on-demand delivery space as it continues to
work with top-tier brands and expand into more cities across the
country. Coming on the heels of DoorDash's successful test and
partnership with Taco Bell this summer, KFC marks the second YUM!
Brands restaurant to power their delivery offerings with DoorDash,
further strengthening the relationship between the two
companies.
"Just two years ago, DoorDash was in one market and three
cities. Today we're in 18 markets, more than 250 cities, and
forging strategic partnerships with national brands like KFC," said
Tony Xu, CEO and Co-founder of
DoorDash. "Thanks to our data-powered routing algorithm and our
innovative machine learning technology, we're proud to be bringing
fast, simple and affordable on-demand delivery of people's favorite
food to every corner of the country."
"KFC is a perfect partner for our business," said Prahar Shah,
Head of Business Development for DoorDash. "Their focus on fast,
convenient and valuable family meals aligns perfectly with
DoorDash's vision for easy and delightful delivery. We're proud
that our partnership with YUM! Brands continues to expand and
excited to be bringing an incredible variety of food -- from tacos
to chicken and more -- directly to people's doors."
