>It is well attested that Harland Sanders asked Bill Summers of Marion-Kay Spices in Brownstown, Indiana, US to recreate his secret blend of 11 herbs and spices.[23] While alive, Sanders recommended the Marion-Kay seasoning to franchisees over the corporate version, as he believed the latter had been made inferior by its owners.[23] In 1982, after Sanders' death, KFC brought a lawsuit against Marion-Kay and the latter was barred from selling its mixture to KFC franchises.[23] The Marion-Kay seasoning is still sold under the name "99-X," and according to Sanders biographer Josh Ozersky, it is indistinguishable from the original KFC recipe.[23]

Interesting, the corporate recipe turned to shit while Colonel Sanders was still alive. Luckily you can still buy a Colonel Approved seasoning mix that is true to the original.

People will wait for good food.

Carl's Jr, In-N-Out, Five Guys take longer than most fast food places and they still get plenty of customers.

Unless KFC is targeted at poverty areas with high black population, then I don't see why KFC can't just do the old recipe.

This. I worked at Mcdonalds for 4 1/2 years but loved to frequent In-n-out. Seeing people understand the concept of waiting for good food was pretty interesting.

I bet if tested the IQ's of Mcdonalds customers would be much lower.

I always thought it was funny when people complained about cold old food yet got angry if they didn't receive it in 3 minutes or less

Corporate headquarters that want maximum profit with least outflow of capital.
It's easier to make a cheap product that gets it's flavor from grease and salt than to make a quality product that gets it's flavor from quality ingredients. That's fast food in a nutshell, dude. AND, I'm including the so called "fast casual" places in that statement as well.

If it was built before the 90s and the building actually has a red hut then it has a dining room and most likely a Ms PacMan machine. If it was built after the 90s then it most likely has no seating area and only serves as a delivery hub

Really this, but also the market in the states for fastfood is extremely price focused.

I lived in Switzerland for a while where an average McDonalds meal would cost about 10 euros. When they started introducing value menu items, people wouldn't buy them out of the general suspicion.

Hopefully the rice. Gravy goes on roasted chicken. Honey or hot sauce goes on fried chicken.
