13. Key Findings: Many Respondents Planned to Use KFC And then sought out the Catering Service on-line. Respondent Quotes: • My son loves KFC. I can't remember how I learned about catering. I assumed they would because it seems almost every company does catering. I went to web and searched KFC and city. I knew it would bring up the tools & info I needed. • I looked a several places. KFC had the best combination of food combined with price. • KFC was the most convenient and not far from me. They said they would provide plates, serving dishes, and utensils. Everyone else was very expensive and were not offering serving utensils. KFC was over and beyond. • I like KFC food. I liked the pricing. • I wanted grilled chicken with the other meat we were serving. • Had tried KFC before (not catering) and had a good experience.

14. Key Findings: Most Respondents Discovered KFC Catering For The First Time When Visiting KFC Website A few considered other options, but the majority went directly to KFC.com

15. Key Findings: Respondents Really Liked The Ease of On-line Ordering Respondent Quotes: I was planning the event late at night and went online to look at menu. I didn’t know about catering, but saw it on the site and ordered. I do everything online. Easy, simple. It is just what we do. Went to KFC website to see if I could place an order. I didn’t know they offered catering but saw it when I arrived. Didn’t assume they had online ordering or catering. Thought I would find the phone number and call but saw the tab on the website so I used the on-line ordering instead. I visited the website first hoping they had catering and looking for pricing. I hate calling and talking to people. Anytime we do any kind of large food order, we do it online. We expect food restaurants to have online ordering. Catering was important to us. I was searching for options on the web. It’s easier to order online from my desk than driving over there.

16. Key Finding: When asked to articulate the key benefit, “online ordering” is cited most frequently, with “taste/quality” and “catering services” as the next most frequently mentioned. * Catering service includes packaging, utensils, quick pick up

17. Key Findings: Consumers Value And Seek Out the Online Ordering Process And Appreciate the Easy On-Line Ordering Features at KFC Catering. Respondent Quotes: • Ordering was the easiest because it was online. We have a budget and the system was continually telling us where we were with our budget. We could play with it online until we got to where we wanted to be. We didn’t have time to go anywhere to order. It is difficult to leave work to place an order. We usually order over the phone but I prefer KFC’s on-line ordering over the phone. It is a very easy way to order and pick up exactly what you need. Online was very clear about number of people to serve, how to order… Very easy It is easier to place online because all of the options are presented I saw the options and simply picked what I wanted. I placed the order late in the evening after business hours. I don’t necessarily expect businesses to have an on-line ordering feature, but am pleased when they do.

18. Key Findings: While Not Always Identified as the Most Important Benefit, the Features of the Catering Service were a Nice Surprise! Came with GREAT serving spoons, thought we'd have to pay for them! They gave me everything I needed, didn't need anything else. • Packaging made it easy for me to pull everything out and display for my guests. Very user friendly. I love the one stop shopping -- forks, spoons, napkins, plates, food. Didn’t have to go to Walmart to get the cups etc. Respondent Quotes: We were very pleased. Absolutely easy the way they set everything up. The manager put everything in big boxes and carried it to my vehicle with plates, napkins, serving dishes. Never thought it a million years that it would be that nice. They should advertise the catering. I didn't know it existed and will definitely use it again! Plates and napkins, condiments, everything we needed. All we had to do was open the box and it was all there.
