Franchisees must meet the following requirements: college degree or above, identity with KFC corporate culture, entrepreneurial spirit, relevant experience, no criminal or bankruptcy record, and no conflict of interest with other brands operated by Yum! (such as Pizza Hut and Taco Bell). After passing the qualification examination and approval, franchisees will also receive 13 weeks of catering management training.

Joining KFC will be a long-term cooperative relationship, and the first phase of the franchise agreement will be at least 10 years. At the same time, joining KFC requires strong financial strength. At present, KFC's franchise fee ranges from 2 million to more than 8 million, depending on factors such as store area and profitability. This fund includes expenses such as restaurant decoration, equipment, profit and staff transfer, but does not include the purchase of real estate. Franchisees can arrange their own financing methods, such as bank loans and finding partners. However, the proportion of self-owned funds invested by franchisees in this project cannot be less than 70%. Click to learn more about joining the project.
