KFC has partnered with DoorDash to provide on-demand delivery to its customers in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Orange County, with delivery expanding to other cities in the coming months, according to a company press release.
"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," said Chris Caldwell, KFC U.S. chief information officer. "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."
Coming on the heels of DoorDash's successful test and partnership with Taco Bell this summer, KFC marks the second YUM! Brands restaurant to pair their delivery offerings with DoorDash, further strengthening the relationship between the two companies, the release stated.
"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."
