KFC Costa Rica

About KFC Costa Rica

Do you already know the fast-food restaurant with the best fried chicken in the world? Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) was founded in 1930 when Colonel Harland Sanders, at 40 years old, created the secret recipe and perfected it until he achieved the famous blend of 11 herbs and spices, which has been used in KFC kitchens ever since and is always finger-lickin' good. Colonel Sanders managed to develop a method so that the cooking time for fried chicken went from 30 minutes to only 8 or 9 minutes. His "original recipe" has been top secret for eight decades and has been franchised worldwide. It has over 25,000 restaurants in more than 145 countries and territories. In Costa Rica, KFC arrived in 1970 and its first restaurant was located in Paseo Colón. 56 years later, it now has 69 restaurants around the country. The fast-food franchise continues to grow exponentially with the opening of more locations, thanks to consumer preference, the commitment to offering a unique experience in impeccable restaurants, and preparing the best fried chicken in the world to make the customer feel like the most important person. The dedication to continuous improvement is transmitted by its collaborators, who now number over 1,000 people in Costa Rica, whom they constantly train to specialize in this industry and in the beloved KFC brand. Each team member is part of the secret recipe, which characterizes them and positions them as the best operation in Latin America and the Caribbean in Operations.
