KFC has apologized for accidentally sending an automated push alert to its app users in Germany that appeared to urge people to order food to commemorate the 84th anniversary of Kristallnacht — the “Night of Broken Glass” — when Nazis terrorized Jews throughout Germany and Austria.

KFC Germany said the notification was an “unplanned, insensitive and unacceptable message and for this we sincerely apologize."

KFC is starting off 2021 by entering the chicken sandwich wars. Starting Thursday, KFC's sandwich is available in select restaurants in Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Oregon, Louisville, Kentucky, Sacramento, California, and Tulsa, Oklahoma. In the spring, KFC tested the sandwich in Orlando, Florida, and the item nearly doubled its original sales projections. "Many customers hadn't considered KFC as a part of the chicken sandwich conversation, but anyone who tastes this sandwich will know, without a doubt, that we're playing to win," said Andrea Zahumensky, chief marketing officer of KFC U.S. The sandwich consists of a quarter-pound chicken breast filet that's been double breaded, a toasted brioche bun, pickles and either mayo or spicy sauce.

Last quarter, the chain saw its same-store sales fall 8%, hurt by lower demand from early morning and late-night customers. KFC's global same-store sales fell 4%, despite U.S. same-store sales growth of 9%.

Pizza Hut, the laggard of Yum's portfolio, reported even steeper same-store sales declines of 11% as sales in the U.S. and China fell. Excluding China, Pizza Hut's same-store sales fell 5% in the quarter. Taco Bell was the only brand to report positive same-store sales growth during the quarter.

Consumers stand in line at an Atlanta-based KFC throughout the day to be among the first to try Beyond Fried Chicken, a plant-based chicken made in partnership with Beyond Meat, on Tuesday Aug. 27, 2019. (Beyond Meat said on Wednesday it will supply plant-based "fried chicken" to several KFC stores in Tennessee and North Carolina, after a test conducted last year showed strong consumer demand. While those companies have rolled out imitation pork or beef patties, Yum Brand's KFC is the first to launch plant-based "chicken." The product is 80 calories per piece and looks a bit like a fried chicken nugget, with a sinewy texture designed to feel like chicken. It will be available next month in dozens of stores in and around Nashville, Tennessee, and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Yum Brands' $375 million acquisition of Habit Restaurants gives the owner of Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut an opportunity to break into the fast-casual industry at a time when fast-food restaurants are struggling. Habit operates Habit Burger Grill, a premium burger chain founded in 1969 with nearly 280 locations, including several in China. While the overall fast-casual industry has seen its traffic growth slow in recent years, it is still outpacing that of fast-food restaurants. Visits to U.S. fast-casual restaurants increased by 3% in the year ended November 2019, according to data from The NPD Group's Crest service. Habit will be Yum's first fast-casual restaurant acquisition since it went public more than two decades ago under the name Tricon Global Restaurants.

KFC is testing a chicken sandwich held together by donuts in place of a bun. Customers have two options: a chicken and doughnut basket meal for $5.49, which includes chicken tenders or bone-chicken plus a doughnut; or a chicken sandwich for $5.99, featuring a fried chicken patty between two doughnut buns -- the much more exciting option. Or maybe they're just trying to capitalize on some of the chicken sandwich craze. If weird fried chicken sandwich combinations are your thing, KFC also created a Cheetos chicken sandwich over the summer. So this might not be the last of the chicken sandwich game we see from KFC.

Taco Bell said in a release said it plans to "further innovate in this growing space."

Restaurant Brands InternationalRestaurant Brands International's most recent acquisition, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, announced a franchising deal last week to develop 1,500 stores in China over the next decade.

Apparently, KFC believes the answer to question is a big orange "no." The fast food giant unveiled its new Cheetos chicken sandwich to be sold nationwide starting on July 1.

"For years, people have been creating their own versions of a Cheetos-fied sandwich at home and now the fried chicken experts at KFC are launching the Cheetos Sandwich across the U.S. and giving fans the cheesy, crispy crunch that they’ll love," a press release said.
