In every country KFC never show the prices.
This is why you need tools like EF to show these.
Check out france and germany.

If the moderators chopped off a subset of this thread with a decent price list and good tags, it would come up top on a google search.

For me - my decade and a half quest is over.

Was thinking of complaining to kfc about no english on thier website and the chicken gravy being a bit crap, but then I thought why bother. They want all my details.

I put a comment on 20 minuten about how I enjoyed the chicken on the first day - did it in my wife's name - and got so many dislikes by vegans,vegatarians, migros chiceria fans or whoever - that I also decided why bother.

Will pop down to Geneva when I can kill 2 birds with one stone - one of them being a dutch chicken coated in the colonel's secret recipe.

I'm waiting for the 12pc bucket to come to me.

Why would you expect them to have english on their Swiss website?

Tourists
Also no romansh

What the hell sort of a terrible tourist comes to Switzerland to eat KFC? And if they are the type who'd do that then I doubt they'll be carefully studying the website beforehand, more likely they'll just waddle on in spontaneously.

25% of the population is non Swiss and the most common language for non Swiss language speakers is English?

Ok I am a terrible tourist and have searched KFC since 1978 when I was in LA. Eaten it all over the world and searched it out before internet existed.
Namibia, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand (the best). It is a hobby for me. Blackpool, Munich, Singen, Mulhouse, Frankfurt, flying to Luton airport for a bucket when my wife was ill in hospital (also a kfc addict) Australia and even India. Never consistant like Mc Donalds - this is why I like it.
I even remember sharing a bucket in Japan (after a visit to the hospital).
So to answer your question. The first thing I do when I go to a new place after booking it is to google "kfc place name in english". I am sure that I am not alone.
When I was in the Geneva place on Tuesday - 30% of the customers and service people were speaking some variant of english. Ok it was the opening day.
The floodgates are open - enjoy the chicken. Maybe they can make fondue variant?

Yes, I do that too.

I mean, who the hell wants to eat what the locals eat when abroad?

Wow, they should make you some kind of special member

I decided against KFC last time in Frankfurt in favour of Ethiopian dinner So it's still been decades since I tasted any KFC.

Haven't missed out on much either!

That is the second day - after I have tried an local version of an Indian (if one exists).
Why has this thread got over 100,000 views?

Of that 25%, most are not English speakers.

Tom

It's over 12.5 years old.

That makes for a lot of views, I guess.

Up until a few days ago, this was the thread that came up on a Google search of "KFC Switzerland". (even after a lot of thread merges)
Now EF has been changed to come up with 3 negative KFC threads and no info.
Looks like a few backhanders from Migros Chiceria people to the Local.
I think someone is worried that KFC might work this time.

So what do you believe is the most common language (not native language) within that 25%?

Portuguese.

Oops, wrong.

"9% are speaking languages other than the four national languages of Switzerland: The largest groups being Serbo-Croatian (2.5%), followed by Albanian, Portuguese, Spanish, English, Turkish and Kurdish."

With English at number 5, that would put English speakers at 1% or less.

Tom

Yes.
Most prolific non-European language is AFAIK Tamil.

"The 10 most common nationalities in the permanent foreign resident population are Italian (316 525), German (303 525), Portuguese (268 660), French (126 970), Kosovar (109 352), Spanish (83 337), Serbian (68 767), Turkish (68 744), Macedonian (65 486) and Austrian (41 855)."

No English-speaking countries in the top-10, and Portuguese are the largest non-Swiss language group.

Geneva is special. English being the lingua franca hearabouts.

Most common language means which language should you use so most non-Swiss language speakers will understand you.
The answer is English because many people have some English ability.even when it is not their native language. This why many Swiss web sites for large companies offer English as an alternative to the Swiss languages.

Examples are Swisscom, Sunrise, UBS, Credit Suisse, UPC Cablecom and more.

They do not offer Portugese or Serbo Croat or whatever.

You only have to look at EF to see how many nationalities also know English

Got it now
