Yum! Brands, Inc.

Yum! Brands, Inc. is the world's largest restaurant company, running a global quick-service portfolio built on four brands: KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and fast-casual burger chain The Habit Burger Grill. Founded in 1997 as a spin-off from PepsiCo, the company today encompasses more than 62,000 restaurants across over 155 countries and territories, with annual system sales of more than $65 billion. Approximately 1,500 franchisees operate the majority of the estate, and a new restaurant opens nearly every two hours.

Employment at Yum! spans that system: the company and its franchisees together account for over 1 million team members and franchise employees, serving millions of customers a day. Roles range from restaurant operations and franchise management to technology, marketing and corporate functions, within a business organised around its Good Growth strategy and its four growth drivers: Unrivaled Culture and Talent, Bold Restaurant Development, Unmatched Operating Capability, and Relevant, Easy, Distinctive (RED) Brands. The company states that its approach is grounded in People, Food and Planet pillars.

Technology is a substantial part of the operation. Digital channels generate over $30 billion in annual sales, and the company invests in AI and machine learning capabilities and data assets to shape customer experience and drive growth. Yum! Brands was recognised by TIME Magazine as one of the "Best Companies for Future Leaders" for 2025.
