Easy Insights – Decision Sciences
We are creating an advanced centralized data strategy that acts as a global data hub, facilitating the seamless flow of data between various sources including our restaurants, franchise organizations, delivery aggregators, customer marketing platforms and regional brand offices. Our dedicated team is driven by ambition and relentless innovation, constantly aiming to enhance the power of our data.
Every week our restaurant managers face the complex task of ordering the right amount of food and paper products to meet customer demands. Our Recommended Ordering is an AI module that uses robust demand forecasting and machine learning capabilities to predict the right amount of product, thereby reducing waste and overall costs.
Determining the right price for our iconic products is critically important for franchisees to manage their profitability. That’s why our team builds and continuously updates a full suite of pricing optimization services and tools that help our franchisees maintain profitability and transaction volumes in any macroeconomic environment.
Our Demand Forecasting Platform uses a series of complex algorithms to generate precise, store-level forecasts that power important restaurant applications. This means our restaurant managers can order inventory, determine labor scheduling needs and better plan in all aspects of their store operations.
Through a combination of machine learning and econometric modeling, Kvantum’s Marketing Performance Analytics Platform measures the effects of marketing tactics in designated geographies across owned, paid and earned channels. This helps Yum! optimize more than $700M in marketing spend in more than 155 countries and territories.
“After 25+ years in the Entertainment and Travel and Hospitality business, I was excited to join Yum! as they embarked on their Digital and Data transformation. Harnessing the power of Data and AI, we unlock hidden insights, optimize operations, and drive growth. Our data is the secret ingredient in transforming the way we innovate, operate, connect with customers and create crave-able products. Together, we continue to elevate this industry to new heights, one byte at a time.”
Cameron Davies Chief Data Officer, Yum! Brands
"I joined Yum! as part of an acquisition and coming from a startup to a $50B+ enterprise was a huge cultural shift for me. But Yum! welcomed the whole team with love and support. As part of decision sciences, I’m able to work with all four brands globally and I get to solve strategic business challenges by leveraging data and machine learning/AI. It has been a rewarding experience to build and deliver the analytics capabilities that empowers Yum! Brands."
Shilpi Sharma Chief Strategy Officer, Kvantum
“With 18+ years of expertise in analytics, engineering, and data science, I joined YUM Brands because I saw that it would be a place where I could contribute at a high level and make a significant impact in creating solutions that would positively impact employees and customers around the world. Since I’ve joined, our innovative culture, fearlessness in experimentation, and global scalability have continued to give me fun and exciting challenges. Here, I get to collaborate with talented data scientists from diverse backgrounds in a startup-like environment. Since becoming part of the Yum Brand’s team, I have been invigorated by our innovative culture, unwavering commitment to experimentation, and the remarkable scalability we possess on a global scale.”
Rocky Yost Senior Manager, Machine Learning, Yum! Digital
“In 2019, after 14 years of performing a string of data engineering and architecture jobs across a range of industries, I came to Yum! to work in a cutting-edge, greenfield start-up environment positioned in an industry with a lot of economic flexibility and room for growth. In the years since, I have grown personally and professionally in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Stepping into a management position during the uncertainty of COVID, scaling our data globally into the digital domain, and rapidly pivoting our strategy to accommodate that shift, while continuing to build & foster a culture that treats employees like humans, celebrates risk-taking, and promotes work-life balance (half-day Fridays!) as a core value, has been challenging. However, it has also been, and continues to be, far more rewarding.”
