In plain English
Yum! Brands is a franchising machine behind some of the world's biggest fast-food names — KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and Habit Burger — running more than 63,000 restaurants across 155 countries. It barely operates restaurants itself: 97% are run by franchisees, so Yum mostly collects royalties and ad fees on the food they sell. After spinning off its China business in 2016, it agreed in June 2026 to sell Pizza Hut for ~$2.7B, sharpening its focus on KFC and Taco Bell.
