In India, because of lack of infrastructure, you can order food from KFC without giving your name, address or any cash up front. The delivery guy simply tries to find the location you indicated and hopes that you show up with cash. I am guessing KFC simply pushes any losses downwards onto the branches or drivers.
It's fine for India, but I don't think a lot of the business models and know-how that works in India transfers easily to conditions in the U.S.
- Alterlife 8y agoI live in Bangalore and it sounds like this is out of some kind of paralell reality. KFC/pizza hut/dominoes don't set up shop in remote places 'without infrastructure'. It doesn't make "business sense". They are mostly limited to cities. They don't deliver long distances, food delivery in general is limited to 2km, and they certainly don't deliver without a name, contact number and delivery address.
- aedron 8y agoThe point is you can give them any name, address or phone number you want. In most cases they won't even use the phone number, except for the driver if he can't find you when he is delivering the food.

- plainoldjavadev 8y agoThat is definitely not how it works, name address and phone number are mandatory with almost all delivery services. COD - Cash on Delivery is an additional option available because old time folks are not comfortable sharing their banking information with 3rd party services. Please take a look at Swiggy or Zomato.
