What are the hours and when should I call?
KFC operates the call center for this 800-225-5532 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Sunday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 2,811 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the KFC call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this KFC phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like KFC staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call KFC is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Thursday, which averages 55% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 2,811 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

In summation, the best day to call KFC is Sunday.In this case, it's a no-brainer. Sunday is not only the least busy day for calling this KFC number, but it is also the day with the shortest hold times.
Calling KFC's number was fairly straightforward, as I was able to get connected with someone who could assist me with minimal wait. However, it's important to remember that this number is mostly for complaints and not information. When I dialed this number, I was first asked for English or Spanish and selected English. Once I got past this decision, I ran into a slight issue.
The number asked me whether I was calling about issues with a previous order or if I was calling about a specific store. As neither applied, I waited to see if another choice was coming, but no such choice was available. At that point, I heard the menu options again.
With no other option, I chose to contact about a previous order and take the conversation in the direction I wanted from there. I was immediately connected with a representative, who asked me to please give him the order number that I was discussing. I told him that there was no order number, but I was calling for information instead.
Specifically, I asked him about the KFC rewards program and when KFC rewards would expire, if they had an expiration date. He said that he did not know the answer off the top of his head, but he would check the information for me and answer after placing me on hold. I said that was fine and waited for about a minute.
At the end of the wait period, he checked that I was still on the line and told me that rewards would expire following 180 days of non-usage. Basically, if I earned a reward, I would have six months to use it before it disappeared. I thanked him for that and he reciprocated.
Based on this, I would use this number more for complaints, but I would use it with no issues.

As a last, sometimes only, resort- KFC customer service can be accessed through their website.
