Sad to hear. The government has **no justification** for this 10pm curfew. Most stores closes from 7:30 pm because of it. It greatly impacts businesses. Why can't it be 2 hours later at least?

You really think 2 hours of potential sales at a fast food restaurant was the thin line between firing and retaining persons? I am seriously asking, seems a little questionable to me. Why not open an hour earlier - I honestly believe ppl would buy Kentucky 10 or 11 in the morning, why try and boost online orders.

Maybe you should open your own KFC since you have it all figured out.

Sigh, typical Bahamian man. When did I suggest that? You and your ilk only understand abuse and ignorance. So here we go, If you were capable of reading to comprehend you would grasp that I asked a question. It is ok, I understand that you are only capable of engaging in discourse with persons who agree with whatever opinion you hold.

Relax...

don't know about KFC but it's said the restaurant business as a whole operates on thin margins. I can see 10-12 Thr-Sat nights being a busy time. If they serve 1 customer per minute thats 60 * $10 * 2 *4=4800 * 4=19200 per month lost.
-1 customer per minute inside and drive through...its possible
-$10 - avg price customer spends
-2 hours per day (increase because employees have to be home by 10, it's probably more like a loss of 4 hours)
-4 days a week
-4 weeks per month

That's just one store. I have no idea how accurate that is but food is big business and Kentucky don't lack for customers so I wouldn't be surprised if it's low.

That's a salary for 19 people that now has to come out of what used to be profit. and might be reserves under COVID

True, pre covid I thought kfc closed at 11. I would imagine They stopped taking orders after a certain period anyway. So I’m wondering how much sales they lost in this time span - or is it less ppl buying kfc for economic or health reasons? would opening an hour early mitigate? Are other fast food chains feeling the same pinch? For example does it have anything to do with competition, are more ppl buying bamboo shack and Popeyes. Is the competition feeling the same need to downsize?

Minnis is no doubt saying to himself that these KFC layoffs are really a good thing because too many of his lowly plebes are already grossly overweight from eating too much greasy fast food.

Apparently the switch staff every so many years. Happened before.

Well you don't run the business so how would you know what they make and when and how?

At least closing the economy was worth it right 🤔...the big bad virus with 99.9%+ survival rate had to be stopped at all costs. More joblessness to come.

You have a valid point ........ KFC might not present a problem for community spread after 10pm ....... but other places surely will ...... But look at WHO owns KFC and then try figure out where this "layoff excuse" is coming from

This screams as a smoke screen for KFC to conduct mass firings to hire newly employed lower paid, no entitlement staff and blame the government at the same time. I think if a company can get newspaper coverage to blame something like this, they should at least show some statistical data of the decline, otherwise it's a newspaper allowing political mischief without any evidence of truth.
