Yum! was founded in 1997, yet our four iconic brands have decades of experience with rich histories.
Born of the ambitions and grit of passionate entrepreneurs, our KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and Habit Burger & Grill brands have grown to include 63,000+ restaurants in 155+ countries and territories, operated primarily by our approximately 1,500 franchisees. Our brands and franchisees open a new restaurant nearly every two hours, making Yum! Brands the world’s largest restaurant company.

It’s our mission to grow the most loved, trusted and connected restaurant brands globally, and our brands and franchisees live out this mission daily by delighting millions of customers with craveable food and memorable experiences.
Everything we do ladders up to our Recipe for Good Growth grounded in the idea that our growth and brand relevance will only endure if our brands are accessible, sustainable and reflective of evolving employee, franchisee and stakeholder needs.
Leading this charge is our unrivaled talent.
Yum! is where the best belong. It's why TIME Magazine named Yum! to its annual list of the “Best Companies for Future Leaders” for three consecutive years. We attract and grow world-class talent, and every person who’s part of the Yum! story – past, present and future – contributes to the winning culture that is our greatest strength and fuels our performance. We bring our best daily, being smart in our decisions, courageous in our ambition and led by heart in all we do.
