KFC is a global chicken restaurant brand with a rich, decades-long history of success and innovation. It all started with one cook, Colonel Harland Sanders, who created a finger lickin’ good recipe more than 75 years ago—a list of 11 secret herbs and spices scratched out on the back of his kitchen door. Today, we still follow his formula for success, with real cooks breading and freshly preparing our delicious chicken by hand in more than 27,000 restaurants in over 145 countries and territories around the world.
Colonel Sanders was a born innovator and founded KFC on values like hard work, hospitality and generosity that still live large in the KFC brand today. We believe in making chicken the right way, by using quality ingredients and freshly preparing them by hand every day. We also proudly welcome everyone to enjoy a seat at our table. From our more than 800,000 Team Members to our guests around the world, KFC treats everyone with generosity and like family.
We are grounded in our heritage but looking forward to the future. KFC is always evolving to make it easier for our guests to enjoy our chicken. We do this through digital innovation and building new restaurants with our valued franchise partners. In fact, every six hours, a new KFC restaurant opens somewhere in the world. As we grow, KFC is committed to doing so responsibly through commitments like our 2025 global plastic packaging goal, the realization of our 2018 commitment to stop purchasing chicken raised with antibiotics important to human medicine in the US and the KFC Harvest program, which to date has donated over 80 million pounds of food to our local communities around the world.
From KFC’s world-famous Original Recipe to our new signature flavors and formats, we are about making the most craveable, Colonel-inspired chicken in the world, the right way. If it’s not finger lickin’ good, it’s not us. And with the help of incredible franchise partners around the world, we’ll continue to be one of the fastest growing retail brands globally, both in emerging and developed markets alike.

More than 60 years ago, the Carney brothers borrowed $600 from their mom and set out to change the way the world experienced pizza. From our modest beginnings in 1958, Pizza Hut has grown to become the largest pizza company in the world. We have more than 19,000 restaurants in over 100 countries. No matter where you find us, we’re making sure each meal our customers enjoy is delicious, bold, and one-of-a-kind.
We don’t just make pizza. We make people’s days. Pizza Hut was built on the belief that pizza night should be special, and we carry that belief into everything we do. We deliver more pizza, pasta, and wings than any other restaurant in the world. A true innovator in the pizza category, we were not only the first to provide America with Pan Pizza, but we were also the first ever to deliver pizza in space! We understand how to best serve our customers through tried-and-true service principles. We create food we’re proud to serve and deliver it fast, with a smile.
All of this is made possible by unlocking the potential of our team members. We promise that at Pizza Hut, you can become your best, make friends and have fun. Because we’re the pizza company that lives life unboxed.
And yes, we are pizza people. But we’re also human people; we lead with our hearts and believe in giving back to the community. Through the U.S. BOOK IT! Program, Pizza Hut supports over 100,000 classrooms, 60,000 homeschool families and 120,000 parents each year by rewarding Pre-K-6th grade students who meet reading goals with pizza and praise. We have also committed to impacting the lives of 100 million people around the world and unlocking their potential through literacy and reading with BOOK IT! in the Community. One dollar for every BOOK IT! Bundle purchased goes to our non-profit partner, First Book, who supports underserved communities with diverse books, classroom materials and more.
We’re also focused on reducing food waste and fighting hunger in the communities we serve through our Harvest Program. Since 1992, Harvest has donated over 100 million pounds of food to local communities.

At Taco Bell, we’ve had innovation on our mind since Glen Bell started serving tacos at its first location in 1962 in Downey, California. Since then, we’ve grown to be a culture-centric, lifestyle brand that provides craveable, affordable Mexican-inspired food with bold flavors. Not only do we provide breakthrough value, but we also offer quality ingredients and are the first QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) restaurant to offer American Vegetarian Association (AVA)-certified menu items. Taco Bell and our more than 350 franchise organizations operate over 7,200 restaurants that serve more than 40 million customers each week in the U.S. Internationally, the brand is growing with more than 1,000 restaurants across over 30 countries across the globe.
We provide educational opportunities and serve the community through our nonprofit organization, the Taco Bell Foundation, and support fans and team members with their passions through programs such as the Live Más Scholarship. We provide access to sports, gaming, and new music through our Feed The Beat program. Outside of our restaurants, fans can access Taco Bell through our mobile app, desktop on Ta.co and delivery. Taco Bell became the first QSR to launch a mobile app in U.S. restaurants for both drive-thru and dining orders. In 2016, we were named as one of Fast Company’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in the World.
