KFC Didn’t Cut Costs — They Engineered Speed
How KFC Barbados Saved $400K a Year by Taking Control of Delivery
What happens when a franchise giant says “no more” to third-party chaos?
In Barbados, KFC wasn’t just battling hunger cravings—it was fighting a silent war against inefficiency. With rising costs, late orders, and zero insight into delivery performance, the franchise knew something had to change. Fast.
Instead of paying their way into more problems with Uber Eats-style apps, they built their own solution.
And the results? Game-changing.
The Problem: Third-Party Delivery Was Draining More Than Just Profits
KFC Barbados, operated by Restaurants of Jamaica Ltd., runs multiple locations across the Caribbean. Their challenge wasn’t attracting customers—it was delivering consistently, efficiently, and profitably.
Here’s what was slowing them down:
- Sky-high commissions from marketplaces slashing margins.
- Manual dispatching of gig drivers leading to late deliveries.
- Customer complaints ballooning due to poor support visibility.
- Zero tracking of drivers, delivery time, or customer satisfaction.
- No scalability across locations with fragmented systems.
During lockdowns and rush hours, things only got worse.
The Solution: Smart Delivery Built to Scale
Instead of handing off control to third-party apps, KFC Barbados built a delivery system they owned—and it changed everything.
With the help of our technology at Ordering.co, they launched a branded delivery system with:
- Auto-dispatch engine that instantly assigns drivers
- Route optimization and ETA tracking in real-time
- Fleet management dashboard to monitor every vehicle
- In-app coordination between kitchen and drivers
- Centralized control across all store locations
They didn’t just solve problems. They built a long-term asset.
The Results: Faster, Smarter, More Profitable
Let’s break down what happened after the switch:
