Who is KFC?
KFC, a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM.), is a global chicken restaurant brand with a rich, decades-long history of success and innovation.

Through digital innovation, our goal is to make KFC available everywhere, implementing a frictionless & friendly experience leveraging scalable technology stack and standards and accelerating rollouts via multiple channels. And we're growing... a new KFC restaurant opens somewhere in the world every six hours.

Our purposes is feeding people's potential, whether that means helping team members get through school, turn their passion for fried chicken into a career, or being a positive force in our communities.
