Why KFC Can't Compete With McDonald's In Israel

KFC has tried, but failed, three times to appeal to the Israeli market. Starbucks, Subway, and Dunkin' have all had to call it quits in Israel, but unlike its rivals, Yum! Brands' Kentucky Fried Chicken is refusing to admit defeat. The American fried chicken chain is looking to enter Israel for a fourth time.
Watch this video to find out why the American fried chicken chain is planning to try a fourth time to enter the Israeli market.
Israel seems to repel American fast food chains. Starbucks; Subway; Dunkin Donuts; They've all had to call it quits there. KFC has actually tried and failed three times to appease the Israeli market. But unlike its rivals KFC is refusing to admit defeat.
In fact the American fried chicken chain is trying again for a fourth time. The calculus reported that KFC plans to open 100 locations within five years of re-entering the market. That's especially ambitious considering that at its peak it had just ten restaurants in the country after spending 20 years trying to build a following.
KFC started as one branch in Tel Aviv in the 1980s. It didn't last, but was revived in 1993. Ownership then changed hands again in 2003. But by 2012 Euro Monitor says KFC had closed up shop for good. In Israel KFC is failure isn't all that shocking because of one simple but very big problem. Its menu.
Israel is a notoriously difficult market to crack because roughly 60 percent of the Jewish population keeps kosher meaning they follow a set of religious laws that restrict them from eating certain foods. One of the major rules don't mix meat and dairy products and that happens to be the very definition of classic Kentucky Fried Chicken.

    Not Jewish, never been to Israel... but I do remember Kentucky Fried Chicken before it became "KFC" and more importantly, I remember when the Colonel was alive. His old employees have said he was in the habit of visiting random franchisees' restaurants and sampling their fare. He took quality control seriously. After his death the numbers men took over and started looking for ways to boost profits. The end result is available at your nearest KFC, and trust me, it's nothing like the original.

    KFC doesn't taste the same as it did back in the 80's and 90's. There's something missing. Are they cutting costs and leaving out some of the 11 secret herbs and spices? Are they trying to save money? There are other brands of fried chicken or what is offered up as "southern fried chicken" which tastes way better than KFC these days.

    If you've been to Israel you'll understand why these big american chains don't succeed there: the street food in that country is amazingly delicious with falafel, shawarma and cafes with real tasty coffee and delightful ambiance. With so much wonderful flavors, you'd have to be crazy or stupid to eat the garbage sold by Starbucks or KFC.

    I can think of another reason: Israel has a huge "Schnitzel" culture (Breaded chicken breast), and honnestly, even a standard Schnitzel in Israel is very decent. The good Schnitzels in Israel are simply EPIC. So KFC may think it has a shot, where really the competition is fierce. Another important point: Schnitzel in Israel is often eaten in a baguette, which KFC does not offer. I think they are doing a huge mistake and it will never work.

    Well I never knew they switched to using milk powder .... I thought everyone knew that KFC chicken was always soaked in buttermilk for a number of hours before being coated in the flour and spice mix. The soaking in buttermilk is what keeps the chicken moist and tenderizes the meat. Otherwise KFC chicken would be horribly dry when its removed from the pressure cookers they use. A lot of TV chefs and KZreadrs have also mentioned soaking your chicken in buttermilk in the refrigerator for hours or over night prior to coating and frying.

    that was my question too. It is my understanding that fast food chains often adjust their recipes to appeal to the local cultures/tastes. It may not taste exactly the same, but as long as it tastes good, then it shouldn't matter if it's slightly different. And then, to have a Pizza Hut owner comment in the video! I can't imagine a pizza without both meat and cheese, yet somehow Pizza Hut thrives in Israel? How is that possible? (Sure, I enjoy a margherita pizza, or mushroom and spinach pizza, but a good sausage and pepperoni pizza is delicious). And there are strict rules about even separate kitchen utensils being used for meat/non-meat products, so operating a kosher PH must be very complicated.

    Because the people who like KFC are the people who don't keep kosher, and have eaten KFC abroad, when KFC came to Israel, it was very overpriced, so the people who liked it abroad ate it only once or twice, and those who keep kosher couldn't, KFC thought that they don't sell enough because it's not kosher, so they changed the formula, and that was disgusting. So both who do keep and don't keep kosher didn't like it.

    Kosher and Halal aren't that different in nature, meat would all be drained without blood and that makes any chicken dry af.

    @Kilo Byte I hate the term Antisemitic to use them exclusively for Jewish people. This is just not accurate. Just call it anti-jewish. Arab tribes are Semitic also and they're the majority of Palestinians and the whole Arabian peninsula.

    as a YUM investor I wish you would reconsider this approach @KFC I believe in taking on some risk and not simply giving up but why not just have one store and move from there if it feels organic to grow?

    In Tel Aviv most people don’t eat Kosher. And the problem was also the prices were way too high.
