Kentucky Friend Chicken changes dress code for vegeterian Gujarat

AHMEDABAD: American multinational Kentucky Friend Chicken (KFC) will, for the first time, have its waiters wear different-coloured uniforms while serving vegetarian and non-vegetarian customers to placate protests in Ahmedabad, the Gujarat city it enters later this month. The steps for Ahmedabad include different coloured uniforms for staff members, separate counters for veg & non-veg orders, separate cooking areas indicated by markings on the wall, official sources said. The fast food chain will check into Alpha Mall, a property developed by Gurgaon-based Alpha G:Corp. The KFC outlet will open only by the end of the month."KFC will be opening by the end of October as scheduled. We respect the religious and cultural sentiments of the people of the state and so we have taken adequate care to segregate the vegetarian and non-vegetarian portions of our entire food court," said Prodipta Sen, executive director (retail) of Alpha G:Corp. KFC is one of the 80 national and international brands that will be part of the mall. The mall comes up in the vicinity of a temple and angry residents are on the streets putting up banners in their respective societies asking KFC to "go back". "Ours is a moral protest against KFC. The residential neighbourhood around the mall largely consists of Brahmins, Patels and Jains who are strict vegetarians. Moreover, there are a few temples in the immediate vicinity of the mall. We feel that KFC India  is a hardcore non-vegetarian store and is not in alignment with the culture of the residents living nearby," says Manish Shah, a resident of Sansariya society. KFC first set foot in India in 1996 but shut shop at most places, except for one store in Bangalore, as it ran into trouble with regulatory and animal rights protection bodies. It re-entered in 2005 with a changed strategy that dished out vegetarian menu as well. For Ahmedabad, besides separate utensils even oil used for for vegetarian and non-vegetarian preparations will be different.
