franchisees must meet the following requirements: college degree or above, identity with KFC corporate culture, entrepreneurial spirit, relevant working experience, no criminal or bankruptcy record, and no conflict of interest with other brands operated by Yum! (such as Pizza Hut and Taco Bell). After qualification approval, franchisees will also receive 13 weeks of catering management training.

joining KFC will be a long-term cooperative relationship, and the initial term of the franchise agreement is at least 1 years. At the same time, joining KFC requires strong financial strength. At present, KFC's joining fee ranges from 2 million to more than 8 million, depending on factors such as store area and profitability. This fund includes expenses such as restaurant decoration, equipment, profit and employee transfer, but does not include the purchase of real estate. Franchisees can arrange their own financing methods, such as bank loans and finding partners. However, the proportion of self-owned funds invested by franchisees in this project cannot be less than 7%. Click to learn more about joining projects.
