KFC Has a Problem in Britain: Not Enough Chicken
The chain, owned by Yum Brands, said its new delivery partner was experiencing "a couple of teething problems." Getting fresh chicken to 900 outlets across the country, KFC added, "is pretty complex!" GMB, a trade union, said it had warned the company against making the switch, and
that the closing of a Bidvest depot after it lost the contract had resulted in the loss of 255 jobs.

LONDON — In Britain, KFC has added a twist to the perennial riddle, "Why did the chicken cross
the road?" "The chicken crossed the road," the fast-food chain said on its website.
John Boulter, a managing director for DHL, said in a statement
that the company was working hard with another partner in the supply chain, QSL, to rectify the "unforeseen interruption of this complex service." He added that, "Whilst we are not the only party responsible for the supply chain to KFC, we do apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment caused to KFC and their customers by this incident."

Steve Biswell said that If you’re going to run a franchise of this size, you would expect them not to run out of chicken,
"Just not to our restaurants." The company found itself on Tuesday in the throes of a massive chicken shortage for
a third day running, after a hiccup in its supply chain forced half of its 900 outlets in Britain to close.
Chicken shops abound in Britain, the largest European market for fast-food chicken according to Euromonitor International.
