Saucy has a pink colour scheme and contemporary design. It is expected to offer a modern customer experience with the latest industry technology.

Situated in the Waterford Lakes neighbourhood of Orlando, the restaurant will feature drive-through lanes, self-service kiosks and advanced back-of-house tech that utilises real-time data to improve service efficiency and food freshness.

The company will host live entertainment and other programmes at Saucy to enhance the customer experience. It aims to be a place where patrons can relax, enjoy their meals and spend more time.

The menu will be centred around its 11 signature sauces – a nod to KFC’s original 11 herbs and spices – ranging from Chimichurri Ranch to Sweet Teriyaki.
