Can you cancel your KFC subscription? Check eligibility and conditions
- Before preparation starts: Orders via the KFC Australia app/website can be cancelled if the restaurant hasn’t started making your food.
- Pickup orders: If you don’t check in at the store, the system will auto-cancel and you won’t be charged.
- After preparation starts: Cancellation isn’t guaranteed – contact the store or KFC support immediately.
- Third-party delivery (Uber Eats, DoorDash): Follows their cancellation rules – charges may apply once the restaurant accepts your order.
- Special cases: Store closures, stock shortages, or tech glitches may result in store-initiated cancellations and full refunds.
How to cancel a KFC subscription, service or order
