Net Promoter Score : KFC VS MCD VS PIZZAHUT – Survey Report

America may be synonymous with fast food, but with several franchises going international, fast food is a growing global phenomenon. Several popular American fast food chains in Indonesia include KFC, McDonald’s and Pizza Hut. These three brands are among the Top 100 Brands in the US. As well, they are among the top brands in Indonesia as evident by their prominence in the foodservice industry. Yum! Brands Inc., which owns both Pizza Hut and KFC collected 1.7% of the total foodservice market share in 2012 and McDonald’s came in 3rd after Top Food Indonesia PT with 0.4% of the total market share (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, 9).

We wanted to find out how loyal Indonesians are to these three brands so we at JakPat conducted a survey to measure people’s “likeliness to recommend these brands online to their friends.” The survey results come from 2866 respondents.

Net Promoter Score

One way to measure loyalty is through a Net Promoter Score (NPS). The number is obtained by finding the difference between the percentage of promoters (those who answer with a 9 or 10) and the percentage of detractors (those who answer with a value up to 6). The higher the score, the greater the number of promoters which indicates greater loyalty.

From this JakPat survey, we got the following NPS -

KFC: -62.34%

McDonald’s: -63.31%

 Pizza Hut:-42.10%

What this indicates is that of the three, the full-service restaurant Pizza Hut has stronger loyalty among consumers followed by KFC and McDonald’s not too far behind.

Coincidentally, this trend is also the case in the United States based on NPS Benchmarks’ reporting from 2013 – Pizza Hut (22), KFC (14), McDonald’s (-8). However, the biggest difference is that in Indonesia, there are not as many people who are strong promoters and loyal to these brands.

Let’s take a look at the data for some more information.

Given a score of 1 which means “not recommend at all,” McDonald’s got the most respondents out of the three at 19.36%. That means that almost 1 in 5 people would not suggest online that their friends visit McDonald’s!

On a gender breakdown, females tend to offer a higher NPS in comparison to males.

Looking only at the provinces with the largest numbers of respondents, we find out that for all three chains, the highest NPS comes from respondents from DKI. The lower scores come from DIY.

It seems that for the most part, respondents are indifferent to the brands, meaning that they do not have strong loyalty, but they do not necessarily have strong rejection either. Generally speaking, most respondents gave a score of “6” on how likely they are to recommend the chain to a friend. What is really interesting though is that while a mid-score was most common, a score of 1 was not too far behind.

It is a tough market to please because Indonesians know what they are looking for when shopping for food.
