By San José, Costa Rica — KFC Costa Rica has launched a new unified mobile application, “KFC CR,” designed to elevate the customer experience through enhanced digital integration. Available on both Google Play and the App Store, the app provides a streamlined platform for ordering, accumulating loyalty points, and accessing exclusive promotions across all official channels.
This new app replaces the previous “Club del Coronel” app, seamlessly transferring existing user points while simplifying the loyalty program. Customers now earn 8% of their purchase value in points, redeemable like cash on future orders at any of the 63 KFC restaurants nationwide. These benefits extend across all ordering channels, including in-store, drive-thru, kiosks, the app, and the website, ensuring a consistent and rewarding experience.
To understand the legal implications surrounding app-based food delivery services like the KFC Costa Rica App, we spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an attorney at Bufete de Costa Rica.
The KFC Costa Rica App, like other food delivery apps, raises several key legal considerations. Consumer protection is paramount, encompassing accurate representation of products, transparent pricing, and data privacy. Additionally, the contractual relationship between KFC, the app user, and the delivery driver is complex, potentially involving issues of liability in case of accidents or service disputes. Furthermore, adherence to Costa Rican advertising and data protection laws is crucial. These apps operate within a rapidly evolving legal landscape, and staying compliant is essential for both businesses and consumer trust.

Lic. Arroyo Vargas rightly highlights the intricate legal web surrounding these increasingly popular delivery apps. The convenience they offer must be balanced with robust consumer protections and clear legal frameworks. As these digital platforms become more integrated into our daily lives, ensuring transparency and accountability will be key to fostering a healthy and sustainable digital economy. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his valuable contribution to this discussion.
Key features of the “KFC CR” app include real-time order tracking, pick-up and delivery options, purchase and redemption history access, electronic invoicing, address and payment method management, and gift card usage.
The app also offers exclusive coupons and promotions, adding value for customers and strengthening their relationship with the brand. This strategic move underscores KFC’s commitment to providing a convenient and personalized experience, catering to the evolving needs of its consumer base.
Comfort and personalization are priorities for our consumers. This app allows us to provide a complete digital experience that is fast, secure, and convenient, while rewarding customer loyalty with real benefits.
