History

Red Rooster (Kelmscott WA) was founded in 1972 by the Kailis Family of Western Australia. Chicken Treat was founded in 1974 and joined with Big Rooster joins to form Australian Fast Foods Pty Ltd in 1989. Australian Fast Foods sold Red Rooster to Coles[1] in 1992, which then bought Big Rooster stores and amalgamated them, and then sold it back in 2002. First outlets were established in New Zealand.[2] in 2005.

In 2007 Mr Romano bought out Mr Tana's share in Australian Fast Foods, and with Quadrant formed Quick Service Restaurant Holdings, which now owns Red Rooster and Chicken Treat.[1]
