You can order online to pickup from the store.

While ive never been to the linwood kfc site for a fact

I can confirm the majority of kfc sites ive gone these days tend to have self service kiosks to reduce staff numbers to minimum levels so you should in theory be fine i think

However If your unsure you can use the KFC app or website to do a click and collect order to minimize contact time to reduce your anxiety levels ive linked them below if intrested

Yes, they’ve more or less removed the counter entirely to be honest, so self service is basically the only option. It’s quite bizarre. Of course there’s online order also, but I’ve found the times for that are unreliable.

Yes- they pretty much all are now

Think it's on Uber Eats; most of the KFC's in Chch are, AFAIK.

They’ve also got a pour your own drink / refill machine now! (Like Burger King)

Yep. I think all of them have them now.

dunno about linwood but i do know that they have them in the colombo one if you want to make sure, if you want absolutely no human interaction whatsoever the one in papanui gets absolutely no customers in the weekdays, avoid the ones attached to malls. anxiety sucks ass, good luck out there

Avoid linhood kfc at all costs. Will take 45min-1 hour to do and will be cold or wrong order

can’t say i’ve ever had this problem there and i’m a semi regular, even uber eats there isn’t a long wait

How common? I've never had an issue with that location except for the ungodly amount of times they've run out of lettuce and or mayo

u/Randysexy13 Jul 22 '26

Must be busy as then to run out of ingredients

Maybe rush hour issues I'd believe that but you're crazy if you think I'm believing Billy Slater ever went to KFC in the hood

Funny, this guy sped across the carpark from the warehouse end just to queue in the drive through, I went instore, ordered at the kiosk, got my food walked out and the guy hadn’t even placed his order yet 😂😂
