KFC customer support overview
KFC Australia, part of Yum! Brands, serves millions of customers every year and offers support for feedback, complaints, and order issues through multiple channels, including an online contact form, customer service hotline, and email.
While many problems can be resolved directly with a store manager on the spot, KFC’s national support team is there to handle escalations, delivery problems, and post-visit feedback.
The brand’s customer service reputation is mixed. Positive stories often involve quick resolutions with vouchers, refunds, or replacement meals, while complaints usually stem from in-store experience, order accuracy, or delivery issues. KFC aims for a “100% satisfaction” approach, resolving most genuine concerns fairly quickly.
Common KFC customer issues and complaints
Frequent issues reported by KFC customers include:
- Wrong or missing items: Especially common in drive-thru or delivery orders.
- Food quality concerns: Cold meals, undercooked chicken, or inconsistent taste.
- Slow service: Long waits in-store, drive-thru, or for delivery.
- Cleanliness and staff attitude: Dirty dining areas, overflowing bins, or unhelpful staff.
- Delivery and app problems: Cancelled orders, app errors, or delays in processing refunds.
While negative reviews often focus on individual stores, corporate support typically offers remedies (such as vouchers, replacement meals, or refunds) when issues are reported.

KFC complaints submitted through Ajust
I tried contacting KFC after receiving really dry chicken from my local store, and even after providing all the details they asked for, no one ever got back to me. Waiting for a simple follow-up left me feeling ignored, and it made the whole situation more frustrating than it needed to be. - Mario
I spent days trying to get support for an issue with my order, making more than a dozen calls only to be redirected again and again with no real help. All I wanted was someone to contact me directly so I could finally sort it out, but it felt impossible to reach anyone. - Jason
I went back to KFC hoping for answers after a long string of poor experiences, but even then I couldn’t get a proper reply. I was left waiting for written communication that never came, and it felt like no one was interested in actually addressing the problems I raised. - Michael

KFC Contact FAQs
How do I get the fastest response from KFC customer support for a wrong or missing order?
The fastest way to fix a wrong or missing KFC order is to contact the store manager immediately while you’re still at the location or right after delivery. This usually leads to an instant replacement or correction. If you’ve already left or used delivery, sending the order ID, store, and photos through KFC’s online Support Assistant speeds things up, especially for busy consumers who want the issue resolved without long back-and-forth.
What can I expect from KFC’s refund policy if my order was cold, inedible or undelivered?
KFC typically offers a refund or replacement when food is cold, undercooked, or not delivered. Refunds usually go back to your original payment method. If the store can’t process the refund locally, corporate support or the delivery app handles it, depending on how you ordered. Knowing this helps you save time and avoid chasing multiple channels.
Who should I contact if my KFC delivery through Uber Eats or DoorDash is wrong or missing items?
For delivery partner issues like Uber Eats or DoorDash, you must request a refund or fix directly through the delivery app. KFC stores cannot process these refunds themselves. If the problem is severe, such as food safety concerns, you can still alert KFC support so they can investigate the store and prevent repeat issues.
How do I get a quick resolution if KFC hasn’t responded to my complaint or support request?
If KFC hasn’t replied, resubmit through the online Support Assistant using your original case details, then follow up by phone using 1300 553 899 or 1800 865 182 for delivery orders. Including photos, timestamps, and the exact store improves your chance of a fast outcome. This approach helps busy consumers avoid delays and get clear next steps without repeating the entire story.
