ABOUT KFC

Especially for Malaysians


We are an establishment that is run by Malaysians and managed by Malaysians; we took it upon ourselves to create a selection of food that would make Malaysia proud on the international scene. Kentucky Nuggets, for example, was conceived in Malaysia and then found its way to KFC worldwide. Today, Kentucky Nuggets is one of KFC's successes.

The first KFC restaurant was opened in 1973 on Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman. Today there are more than 500 KFC Restaurants nationwide and still counting. Great tasting chicken has become synonymous with KFC; and has been enjoyed by Malaysians ever since. In fact, KFC Malaysia has developed a distinctive Malaysian personality of its own. KFCH, operates over 620 KFC outlets comprising of Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Cambodia and India.

"Meals on Wheels" was also developed in Malaysia. It was created for the purpose of bringing great tasting chicken to places where a KFC Restaurant might not be available. So, any offices or companies can hold functions at any place and anytime! All our achievements add to our Malaysian identity. But it has only been possible because you invited us to share your lives.

Just for Kids


Then we wanted something really special for our younger customers because they are integral part of our lives. So, the KFC Kids' Chicky Club was developed exclusively for kids. Even 'Chicky', KFC's mascot, takes an active interest in all the KFC Kids' Chicky Club activities. We wanted to give every child something they can look forward to as a treat every weekend or on any special occasion. We sincerely hope that their childhood will be filled with wonderful memories. Thank You, Malaysia... Ultimately, KFC Malaysia has a lot to thank Malaysians for. Especially their support through the years.

finger lickin' good food every year. This year marks the 10th Anniversary of Projek Penyayang. This in turn, was followed by Tabung Penyayang KFC, a charitable fund, whose sole purpose was to help orphanages in Malaysia. Tabung Penyayang was founded in 1997, to help children and the needy through various CSR programme. Tabung Penyayang KFC is a unique fund as it represents a percentage of revenue generated from the sale of KFC's Kids' Fun Meals.In August 1999, KFC introduced its 'Tabung Penyayang' KFC Collection Box as an extension to the Tabung Penyayang KFC Programme. Collection boxes are placed at all KFC restaurants enabling customers to contribute and be apart of this charitable effort. Today, 3 of KFC Restaurants are run by speech and hearing-impaired staffs that was designed to serve physically challenged individuals. They serve to dispel the myth that a disability impede a person from leading a normal life and gives them a sense of confidence and selfesteem.These 3 restaurants are located in Peninsular and East Malaysia. First is at Sentul Raya, in Kuala Lumpur, second is at Saujana, in Sarawak and the third is at Tanjung Aru, Sabah.Currently, we are still conducting other programmes for Malaysian charities. And we will continue to extend a corporate helping hand whenever and wherever we can.

Apart from serving finger-licking good food, we continuously aim for high quality and are committed to ensure food safety by stringent control to maintain our standards.

Above all, we follow strict temperature control and shelf life to ensure the food served to our customers is fresh and safe. We have a Mystery Customer Program known as CHAMPSCHECK which evaluates customers experience in our KFC restaurants. We have appointed a reputable surveillance company to check against the CHAMPS concept. Every restaurant is subjected to a visit by a Mystery Customer and the dine-in / take-away experience is evaluated and scored. KFC sets a minimum standard of 90% as passing score for this evaluation. Feedbacks taken from this evaluation is used and studied for continuous improvement in our restaurants.

KFC HACCP Programme We have also established a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) Programme for KFC restaurants. HACCP is a management system for the assurance of food safety. The process includes identifying, evaluating and controlling hazards i.e. physical, biological and chemical to ensure food safety. It is applied from receiving of raw materials at our restaurant until serving to our customers. KFC KLCC has been audited and certified by a reputable certification body since 2005. All the established Critical Control Points (CCPs) are now included in our Daily Operations Checklist which is used by all the KFC restaurants in the country. Sanitation / Personal Hygiene Our daily operations manual clearly highlights each step of the sanitation procedure to ensure strict compliance to the KFC requirement. Each staff has to undergo the Food Handlers Course conducted internally by KFC which is recognized by the Ministry of Health. We have implemented a handwashing procedure to ensure each staff washes his/her hands at least once every hour and whenever necessary. The procedures include wetting hands first, then rubbing the hands together, fingers between fingers, around the wrist and up to the elbow with liquid antibacterial handsoap, for 30 seconds. Then the hands are rinsed with clean water under the hands-free tap, and dried with single-use paper towels. No bare hands are allowed to touch any finished products. Instead, we constantly stress on the importance of using

disposable gloves, sanitized scoops or tongs. All our restaurant teams including managers are immunized against Typhoid upon employment. Pest Control Due to the encouraging conditions in the tropical climate, pest control is indeed a challenge. However, we relentlessly continue to maintain our standards and have engaged reputable pest control companies to assist us in this matter. The trained service teams conduct regular inspections which include night treatment after operation hours and also provide follow-up checks during operation hours whenever needed, in every restaurant. There is a detailed checklist to ensure that no steps are missed. All pesticides are approved by Pesticide Board and have Material Safety Data Sheet on file for staff reference. Each pest control company will present periodic trend reports of pest activity to the management for corrective actions and remedy. The total cost for all the services nationwide is approximately half a million ringgit annually.
