“KFC has always been about delivering an exceptional food experience for our guests. Whether it’s grilled chicken or baking biscuits, the RATIONAL combi oven has revolutionized how we operate.” - Greg Halling, Market Manager, KFC.

KFC and RATIONAL – A Perfect Partnership.

The RATIONAL combi oven is the recommended oven for KFC franchisees in North America because of its excellent performance and the total cost of ownership. It helps operators to increase both employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction, all while reducing energy costs. KFC operators around the world use more than 18,000 RATIONAL SelfCookingCenter® combi ovens to prepare biscuits, cookies, flan, egg tarts, mac and cheese, potpies, chicken pizza, chicken nachos, roasted wings, and grilled chicken by simply touching a button.

KFC franchisees are able to select a unit size that will work best for their store. With five pan and three pan capacities approved, the RATIONAL combi can fit almost anywhere. Many franchisees opt to add the UltraVent Plus recirculating hood, which enables them to cook grilled chicken without investing in additional hood space. Most municipalities do not require a hood for just baking.

A win-win solution.

Many KFC operators have “rationalized” their kitchens by installing the one device that applies innovative combi technology to perfectly grill, steam, bake, roast and much more, all in a single self-cleaning piece of kitchen equipment. RATIONAL has a longstanding partnership with KFC International built on the shared goal of preparing great tasting food in a way that enables franchisees and their employees to cook more with less space, waste, energy, labor cost and stress.

At the end of the day, RATIONAL was selected as the recommended KFC platform because the SelfCookingCenter®:

  • Grills juicy chicken offering guests a healthier option
  • Bakes perfect biscuits that are consistently golden across the entire pan
  • Monitors the cooking process, enabling staff to focus on other tasks
  • Removes user error because its ease of use ensures delivery of desired results
  • Cleans itself, even overnight, freeing employees from this unpleasant task
