If you've seen the hit TV show Breaking Bad, you might know that the fictional restaurant Los Pollos Hermanos is fast food chicken joint where crystal meth cookers played by Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul launder money. Hundreds of people lined up to get the Breaking Bad experience when Los Pollos Hermanos opened up in New York City for real. The opening took place ahead of the release of the third series of Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul and served to reveal that the restaurant would also feature in the new series. Los Pollos Hermanos, meaning "The Chicken Brothers" in Spanish, specialises in fried chicken. In the show, the restaurant was used a cover for illegal activities and money laundering, but you can bet that the real life version will be clean as a whistle. If you loved Breaking Bad and want to try an authentic Los Pollos Hermanos experience for yourself, you might have to make the trip to New York City.
KFC China has started using a new kind of technology to deliver a new type of experience for its customers. Believe it or not, if you stop in to order chicken at the KFC in Beijing’s Fuxingmen district, you will have your face scanned and the KFC computer will recommend a meal for you based on your appearance. The facial recognition technology is designed to remember customer's faces as well as their orders and to make suggestions based on customer data gathered over time. The Kentucky Fried Chicken Chinese branch has partnered with the country’s search giant Baidu to build a new location for its artificial intelligence and augmented reality technology. The new device is capable of analysing a customers’s facial features, and makes use of traits such as age, gender and facial expression to determine what each person should be eating at any given time. Even though the ability of artificial intelligence to detect behavioural traits using physical variables, called physiognomy, has not yet been developed to be completely effective, KFC China's pioneering use of facial recognition technology is certainly going to change customer experience and may even change how we think about fast food in general.
