Yum! Brands Inc., based in Louisville, Kentucky, is the world's largest restaurant company in terms of system restaurants with over 34,000 restaurants, which includes over 2,000 licensed restaurants, in more than 100 countries and territories. Four of the company's restaurant brands - KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Long John Silver's - are the global leaders of the chicken, pizza, Mexican-style food and quick-service seafood categories respectively. A&W Restaurants is the longest running quick-service franchise chain in America. In 2005, Yum! Brands generated more than $9 billion in total revenues, including company sales and franchise fees.
Yum! is building a vibrant global business by focusing on key growth strategies: building dominant restaurant brands in China, driving profitable international expansion, improving restaurant operations, and multibranding category-leading brands.
We have a great China business with tremendous scale and economics, and our goal is to continue to build dominant China brands. We also have a very strong and profitable broad-based international business, which we continue to grow. We are focused on running great restaurants and, we are the worldwide leader of multibranding – combining two brands and greater consumer choice under one roof.
The Yum! China Division (includes mainland China, Thailand and KFC Taiwan), based in Shanghai, has been reported separately since the beginning of 2005 due to its size, unique strength and importance. Today our Yum! China Division has more than 2,400 system restaurants (Q2 2006).
Mainland China is our number one market for new company restaurant development worldwide. In 2005, operating profits for the China Division were more than $200 million. Our strategy is to be the leader in every significant food service category in mainland China. KFC is the number one quick-service restaurant brand and Pizza Hut is the number one casual dining brand in mainland China.
Yum! Restaurants International (YRI), based in Dallas, Texas, is the largest division of Yum! Brands with more than 11,000 restaurants outside the U.S. (excluding Yum! China Division). In each of the last six years, YRI has opened over 700 new restaurants.
Outside the United States in 2005, the Yum! Brands' system opened about three new restaurants each day of the year, making it one of the fastest growing retailers in the world. We have a large, growing, profitable, high-return international business and a strong growth opportunity with two global brands, KFC and Pizza Hut.
Yum! Brands is the worldwide leader in multibranding, which offers consumers more choice and convenience at one restaurant location from a combination of KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, A&W or Long John Silver's brands. The company and its franchisees today operate over 3,400 multibrand restaurants.
Yum!'s formula for success is centered on putting people capability first because when we do that, we satisfy our customers and generate more profits.
Around the world, our 900,000 Customer Maniacs are striving each and every day to put a Yum! on our customers' faces around the world. We've been on a journey for the past three years and are training our team members once a quarter on how to be Customer Maniacs.
We're building an operating culture dedicated to 100% CHAMPS with a Yes! Attitude. CHAMPS is centered on the executional basics that deliver great customer service including Cleanliness, Hospitality, Accuracy, Maintenance, Product Quality and Speed. Our focus is to execute CHAMPS with passion, urgency and excellence, so that we will drive same store sales growth in every restaurant.
For the past four years, the company has been recognized as one of Fortune Magazine's "Top 50 Employers for Minorities." It also has been recognized as one of the "Top 50 Employers for Women" by Fortune, one of the "40 Best Companies for Diversity" by Black Enterprise Magazine for the past two years and one of Black Enterprise's "30 Hottest Franchises for 2006," one of the "Corporate 100 Companies Providing Opportunities for Hispanics" by Hispanic Magazine, one of the "Top 50 Corporations for Supplier Diversity" by Hispanic Trends Magazine and by BusinessWeek as one of the "Top 15 Companies for In-Kind Corporate Philanthropy."
In addition, Yum! also has been named the #1 company for Work/Life Balance in Louisville, one of the Best Places to Work in Kentucky and Pizza Hut has been named the #1 Best Place to Work in Dallas. We are very proud of these accomplishments because they reflect Yum’s commitment to diversity and to making the company a great place to work.
