Yum! Brands subsidiaries

Taco Bell is owned by Yum! Brands, parent company to Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and Pizza Hut. With over 29 thousand restaurants worldwide, KFC has the most establishments of the Yum! Brands subsidiaries. Although there is a large difference in the number of units, Taco Bell is only slightly less successful than its sister company in terms of revenue - generating 2.64 billion U.S. dollars revenue in 2023. Comparatively, the revenue of KFC amounted to around 2.83 billion U.S. dollars in that year. 

Customer satisfaction

Despite its growing number of stores worldwide and increasing revenue, Taco Bell ranked below the average quick service restaurant's American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) score in 2023. During that year, Taco Bell received a score of 71. Taco Bell also ranked below both of its affiliate companies, KFC and Pizza Hut, who were awarded scores of 81 and 78 respectively.
