The company started the journey when YUM! DIGITAL & TECHNOLOGY was incorporated in January 2021. We operate as a growing software start-up within Yum! putting engineering first. We’re as passionate about the quality of our code as the impact of our work and focus on three main products: digital commerce platform-as-a-service, in-restaurant point-of-sale and a proprietary menu management system that defines what we sell and at what price. These tools are designed to drive sales, improve unit profitability, and provide lasting competitive advantages for our brands.

We love open source, volunteering in our communities and collaborating heavily with all other technologists within other Yum! divisions and countries. Join our team, and you’ll never feel like you work in a silo, but instead, what you do will impact the world’s largest restaurant company!.

We’re building the largest restaurant digital commerce engine in the world. At a time when omnichannel sales are ramping up in every market, we’re meeting the need by accelerating product delivery and ensuring flexibility across menu, tax and POS systems through Android-based technology.
