Our Functions
As a global company with four iconic brands, we have opportunities across every aspect of our business – from the corporate level to within our restaurants – that allow our employees to make a difference. Here’s a look at each of Yum!'s teams.
Our Teams

Commerce
Launched in early 2021, the Yum! Commerce Platform provides core capabilities that can power Easy Experiences through our omni-channel ordering and marketing platforms, customer loyalty and payment features, and menu management functionalities. This requires a team of technology experts and web developers who can pivot along with technology and consumer shifts, while meeting the demands of our vast franchise ecosystem.
Corporate Communications & Impact
We know that what – and how – we say and do something matters to people as we work to build the world’s most loved, trusted and connected restaurant brands.

Decision Sciences
We build on the creation of Easy Experiences through the development of our Easy Insights platforms, designed to deliver key observations and analytical data that drive actionable strategies for scalability. Key to this success is the harmonized integration of our data operations system, which works in tandem with our analytical tools to drive global insights that reduce operational risks and enable the deployment of highly developed decision tools for growth. Our teams are dedicated to keeping our business safe and secure while keeping our teams well connected through global, cross-brand integrations.

Yum! Legal works to advance the company’s initiatives while ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Our team advises across a broad range of practice areas, including corporate and securities, franchise, employment, intellectual property, and compliance matters, as well as negotiating complex commercial transactions and agreements. Our sustainability department is also housed under legal, and those team members work to ensure that our restaurants run efficiently and that our supply chain is maintained, so our restaurants can deliver memorable dining experiences to our consumers.

We have a big business to run and take our jobs seriously as everything we do impacts our organization as a whole. From overseeing global operational procedures across each brand to ensure effective and organized processes overall, our team builds up others to ensure success. Our team handles a wide array of responsibilities so our people can rest easy knowing they’re backed by a powerful team dedicated to driving operational excellence and enabling them to provide the best experiences for our customers.
Quality Assurance
Food safety is our top priority as our quality assurance teams are dedicated to providing a consistent and safe dining experience throughout each of our 55,000 restaurant locations. This team works with our global supply chain partners to deliver the same kind of quality product across our brands that our customers have come to love and expect.
Strategy
Our goal is to help our brands grow faster and with more added value. To do that, we partner with our executive team to set the long-term vision and strategy for Yum! Brands. This means providing strategic direction on new business models, driving new growth channels through partnerships and scale, and unlocking future experiences through disruptive innovation.
