Zimbabwean low-cost airline fastjet has partnered with Simbisa Brands to allow its customers to purchase tickets at Chicken Inn restaurants across Zimbabwe. Before visiting the restaurant to pay for your ticket, you must first visit fastjet’s website or any fastjet shop or airport office.
Next, you must select which currency you wish to use to pay for the ticket while remembering that payments for fastjet tickets can only be in US dollars or Zimbabwe dollars. Once you have selected your booking, you will be given a confirmation number. Please note this number as you will need it to purchase your ticket at any of the 72 Chicken Inn restaurants across Zimbabwe.

Tell the cashier your confirmation number
When paying for your ticket at a Chicken Inn, you will need to provide the cashier with your booking confirmation number, your surname, and the currency you selected for payment. Once you have paid for the ticket, you will receive a receipt from Chicken Inn and receive an email with a new booking number. This will serve as proof that you have paid for your ticket.
We are happy to announce our partnership with @fastjet. This is an amazing way to provide another payment option for customers at our @ChickenInnZW outlets across Zimbabwe. Just book online, choose to pay later then pay at any Chicken Inn outlet. pic.twitter.com/wRyJem8RFi

About Chicken Inn
The first Chicken Inn was opened on Speke Avenue in Harare in 1987. The goal of the fast-food restaurant was to focus on locally sourced ingredients and a menu that people could afford. Since its inception, the brand has gone from strength to strength due to a fried chicken menu that now includes chicken burgers, wraps, and spicy chicken wings. Chicken Inn is the largest fast-food outlet in Zimbabwe with 72 locations; Chicken Inn currently serves over 1.2 million Zimbabweans a month.
