Hi, need to submit a 2000 words paper on the topic Contemporary Hospitality Management: KFC Franchisee Chain. A franchise hospitality business would have the additional advantages in that it would have reduced research and development costs, more access to training, more access to franchisor’s marketing and advertising campaigns and guaranteed quality control and standards.

Sanders’ signed up his first franchise in 1952. KFC changed management several times and was under John Y. Brown and Jack Massey, Heublein and R. J. Reynolds. By the time KFC was acquired by PepsiCo in 1986, it had grown to approximately 6,600 units in 55 countries and territories. Now it is under Tricon. It is important to observe that despite frequent management turnover the KFC continued to have a very detailed and effective franchise agreement which allowed substantial leverages to franchisee units to improve the group working by their innovative methods. This unit would like to attempt the same by taking special initiatives in the use of technology.&nbsp.
