In general I find KFC's service/personnel better these days in China then McDonalds (both still stingy with ketchup though). Not sure though if Pizza Hut's main item (pizza's) will stay as popular as before as the Chinese middle class/rich in large cities move onto more exotic tastes (Japanese, finer westen food...).

It's about 20 years ago that the first McD opened in Shenzhen.

^ And they know that the market here is vast. Like VAST. Everyone eats it; kids, teenagers, office staff, shop staff, married couples, old people, even the homeless. They have less franchises here - they know that the profit is huge so that want that profit direct.
