KFC for convicts

[Nerfherder]

this ....... way way less than R30 a head. Sickens me what I see in the old age homes and these dregs and savages get bloody KFC

Well they couldn't find a caterer to supply at those prices. I think that there are no small businesses that can scale up their operations to that size at the drop of the hat.
KFC have the most amount of branches of any franchise in the country, so they are able to scale up like that. It looks like a bad thing but its the thing that works.

KFC is actually sif, its not a luxury. This is bottom of the barrel stuff. Streetwize is the cheapest (most available) thing on the market.


You also have to compartmentalize these things, yes we have orphans, aged, sick and needy to also look after but you can't take from one to make more for the other. The money is divided already the orphans have their money already... if we want more money for the orphans and aged then we need more tax income, then we need more productive members of society coming out of prisons.

and perhaps that means every once in a while they have a day outside the prison where they get encouraged to feel like normal people and have some KFC

Death penalty. Get rid of oxygen sucking parasites.

 

[Kosmik]

The minister was right though when she explained that whoever got that tender to do the catering would have severely over charged the department.

I understand her reasoning but whatever happened to making the inmates cook their own food. They would have had to have been fed anyway that day so surely they could have leveraged the normal process?

I thought I was a narrow minded idiot.

 

[Batista]

Give them a taste of the outside world.The way to a mans heart is through his stomach.Maybe they will behave so they can get out and go work in KFC.KFC should offer inmate programs like they do in the States.

Maybe you thought right.

I hope Zizo911 doesn't commit a crime just to get in there.

haha. I wonder where he is..

Pap is cheap, and it's the staple of many Africans, what makes them criminals special?? Follow the money, some ANC cadre just bought a whole lot of KFC franchise or supply chickens to KFC.

Stop being such a snowflake about the situation.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

This I'll gladly be a snowflake for. Like I said, I offer my time and money to old age homes and see first hand how much worse off than prisoners some of them are. Maybe if more self centered shytes spent less time being big men online, the problem, among many, could be alleviated a touch. Knowing your type though, that's a certainty never to happen

Okay SJW, if you feel manly now.

Buy a R10m franchise on the basis of a one time order for R60K, that'd be really stupid?

 

[Lucas Buck]

It's a once off so I don't see what the fuss is about. It's not like they had some lekker extravagant meal it was a R30 kfc meal (per prisoner), that people are getting their panties in a bunch about.

I give Meals on Wheels a few bob each month...they say they're able to feed a person for R15.00 (the aged as far as I know - probably eat less :erm.

The breyani thing reminded me of what happens in India...there's a charitable organisation that cooks up huge quantities of vegetarian meals each day for prisoners. I'm talking humongous quantities...I'll try to find some details about it.

Go to prison and eat your veggies.

 

[Lucas Buck]

The government has monthly programs where pensioners are taken out for a day and given a free meal. Funds have been allocated for that. This looks like something similar but for prisoners which I doubt even happens on a regular bases.
A larger monthly allowance should be given to pensioners, but I doubt that it's the money that spent on prisoners that's taking the food out of the mouths of pensioners.

Having been done event organization at university.
You can't just choose anyone you want for catering, they have to be on the system and getting on the system takes time.
I assume government is the same.
Payment also takes time, so I assume KFC can handle the delay.

the procurement admin is besides the point, Lion...we've been talking about the cost all this time. Besides, it probably takes time to become an approved vendor because the person choosing the contractors is weighing up whose under-the-table payments package is the best

Anyway, this is what I was referring to - simple meals made on a large scale and given away for free and all funded by donations.

“Anyone can eat for free here and on an average we serve food to 100,000 people. On weekends and special occasions double the numbers of people visit the langar. The langar never stops and on an average 7,000 kg of wheat flour, 1,200 kg of rice, 1,300 kg of lentils, 500 kg of ghee (clarified butter) is used in preparing the meal every day,” says Harpreet Singh, manager of this huge kitchen.

“The free kitchen uses firewood, LPG gas and electronic bread makers for the cooking and we use around 100 LPG cylinders and 5,000 kilograms of firewood every day,” he adds.

The kitchen is run by 450 staff, helped by hundreds of other volunteers.

Coming from Durban and seeing most catering companies that deal in briyani etc. As pointed out before, they cannot scale and also payment would be a problem.

No, man...not specifically Indian food. I can't see that going down to well (pun intended!) in a prison - the last thing you want is a fired-up violent offender who bit into a cardomom pod

But the proof of concept is there.

If you're a begger on the street, sleeping under a pile of boxes at night, empty stomach ... Doesn't the prison sound like an exclusive getaway retreat ?

If you want to get raped, then yes.
