Leadership History
3 leaders · 2015 to present
Yum! Brands is one of the largest restaurant franchisors in the world, operating through KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and Habit Burger & Grill. Its economics are built around franchise fees, royalties, brand advertising funds, and development agreements rather than directly owning most restaurants.
Yum earns royalties and franchise fees from restaurants operated mostly by independent franchisees, plus company-operated restaurant sales in selected markets. The company supports brand marketing, technology platforms, supply chain programs, menu innovation, and new unit development.
