  • Pizza Hut Owner Flynn Group Pledges $10 Million to Expand in Australia

    Pizza Hut Owner Flynn Group Pledges $10 Million to Expand in Australia

    Flynn Group will invest $10 million to overhaul Pizza Hut Australia and open 100 outlets across the country. The expansion aims to add 300 jobs and lift the chain from its current footprint of roughly 300 stores.

    US-based Flynn Group, which acquired the master franchise from private equity firm Allegro Funds in 2023, plans to roll out redesigned store layouts, updated menus and upgraded ordering hardware. The chain has traded in Australia since 1970, but recent financial filings from Flynn Group’s local operating division showed a $1 million loss for the previous financial year.

    Digital Sales And Store Redesigns

    Online channels now generate roughly 80 per cent of all sales for the brand in Australia. Flynn Group said the business has recorded seven straight years of same-store revenue growth, with average sales per location doubling over the past five years despite the recent bottom-line loss.

    “This isn’t a lick of paint; it’s a complete reinvestment in the product, the stores, and the people behind them, moving at a pace this category has never seen,” said Richard Wallis, president of Flynn Group Apac.

    Turning Around Australian Losses

    Across Asia-Pacific, legacy quick-service restaurant chains face tight margins from wage inflation and delivery aggregator fees, forcing operators to downsize dining rooms and automate order processing. Flynn Group is testing whether streamlined formats and higher store density can convert steady same-store sales momentum into sustainable net profits in a crowded fast-food sector.

    The group has not named the locations for the first batch of new outlets, leaving the timeline for reaching the 400-store mark as the primary metric for the turnaround plan.

  • Yum China Opens 300Th Pizza Hut Burger Bar as Fast-Food Demand Grows

    Yum China Opens 300Th Pizza Hut Burger Bar as Fast-Food Demand Grows

    Yum China opened its 300th Pizza Hut Burger Bar in Wuhan, expanding a side-by-side restaurant format that reached the threshold within ten months of its national rollout.

    The concept grew from zero to more than 200 locations in its first six months, relying on shared kitchen space and existing staff inside established Pizza Hut outlets to keep capital expenditures low.

    Shared Kitchens and Dough Buns

    Pizza Hut entered the burger category two years ago by using baked pizza dough as buns. The Burger Bar format formalised that experiment into a dedicated counter model, preparing patties on a hot griddle in an open kitchen beside the main dining room.

    The 300th unit in Wuhan introduced regional menu items, including a crayfish crispy lotus root cheeseburger, tailoring offerings to local tastes. Management expects total burger sales across regular restaurants and dedicated Burger Bars to top RMB1 billion (US$148.6 million) this year. That total represents between 5 per cent and 6 per cent of Pizza Hut China’s overall revenue.

    Chasing Fast-Food Growth

    Fast-food chains across Asia are leaning heavily into lower-cost, single-diner formats to capture shifting customer habits. Smaller household sizes, tight consumer budgets and a preference for fast, individual meals have turned Western fast food into a contested segment in mainland cities.

    Market researcher Emergen Research valued China’s burger sector at US$18.4 billion in 2025, forecasting an annual growth rate of 8.7 per cent through 2035. While western burger chains continue adding standalone stores, Yum China is using its existing Pizza Hut footprint to capture market share without the overhead of building new restaurant shells.

    Yum China raised its expansion targets for the broader Pizza Hut chain, aiming for more than 800 net new store openings annually in 2027 and 2028, up from its earlier guidance of 600.

  • Indian Fast Food Titans Merge: KFC and Pizza Hut Unite under $933M Deal

    Indian Fast Food Titans Merge: KFC and Pizza Hut Unite under $933M Deal

    In a significant move within India’s quick-service restaurant (QSR) industry, Devyani International and Sapphire Foods India, two of the nation’s largest franchise operators for KFC and Pizza Hut, have agreed to join forces. The merger, approved by parent company Yum! Brands, is a $933 million deal that consolidates the operations of the two QSR chains under a singular operator in India.

    Details of the Deal

    The merger process is expected to be completed within 12 to 15 months, subject to regulatory and shareholder approval. Stock exchange filings reveal that Devyani will acquire exclusive franchise rights for the entire Indian market as part of the agreement. Moreover, Devyani will assume control of 19 KFC outlets in Hyderabad, currently directly managed by Yum! India.

    In recent times, Yum! Brands’ Indian operations have been divided between Devyani and Sapphire Foods. While Devyani, a part of Ravi Jaipuria’s RJ Corp, runs several outlets, Sapphire Foods, backed by Samara Capital, operates its own distinct territories.

    Objective of the Merger

    The primary aim of this consolidation is to generate efficiencies driven by scale in the face of increasing costs, escalating competition, and fluctuating consumer demand.

    Ravi Jaipuria, non-executive chairman of Devyani International, expressed confidence that the merger would “allow us to realize meaningful economies of scale, leverage a unified technology platform, and strengthen our supply-chain capabilities.” He added that these advantages would “unlock sustained value creation and long-term growth for our shareholders, customers, employees, and partners.”

    About the Companies

    Devyani International, one of India’s largest QSR operators, manages over 2,000 outlets across India and international markets. It operates several other renowned global food and beverage brands, including Costa Coffee, Tea Live, New York Fries, and Sanook Kitchen.

    On the other hand, Sapphire Foods India, which was established in 2015, operates more than 1,000 KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell restaurants across India and Sri Lanka in dine-in, takeaway, and delivery formats.

    Yum Brands Eyeing Potential Pizza Hut Sell-Off Amid Underperformance

    Yum Brands, the parent company of Pizza Hut, is currently exploring strategic alternatives for its pizza arm, which may include a potential sale.

    Yum Brands has noted that no specific timeline has been set for the completion of this strategic review. Likewise, the company has not guaranteed that this process will result in a transaction.

  • Yum China calls time on Chinese brand

    Yum China calls time on Chinese brand

    Yum China Holdings, the owner of the KFC and Pizza Hut restaurant chains in China, has decided to shut down its struggling fast-food brand, East Dawning, after it failed to survive the Covid-19 pandemic.

    The company said in its annual report that the remaining five outlets of the Chinese-style quick-service restaurant (QSR) brand would cease to operate within 2022.

    “The brand was severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic,” the report said. “As a result, we have decided to wind down operations of the brand.”

    The annual report, filed to the Hong Kong stock exchange, did not provide financial data for East Dawning, which was established by Yum on the mainland in 2005. The chain kicked off with about 100 restaurants nationwide located mainly at airports and train stations. But the number has fallen drastically over the years amid stiff competition. By 2012, the chain had dwindled to 30 restaurants, and by 2020 only eight outlets of the brand remained.

    Disease outbreak dealt a fatal blow to the brand, but it has not been successful over the past decade due to stern challenges from a raft of local restaurant chains,” said Chen Xiao, CEO of Shanghai Yacheng Culture, a consultancy dealing with marketing and branding for foreign and local companies. “After all, the five outlets and the brand are of little value to Yum’s businesses in China.”

    East Dawning, in Chinese, literally means that the east is lit up by the light of dawn.

    Su Shi, a poet during the Northern Song dynasty (960-1127) wrote in his poem the Red Cliffs that a group of friends were so obsessed with a dinner party on a boat that they did not notice the east was lit up by the light of dawn.

    East Dawning was the first Chinese-style fast-food brand created by Yum to tap the market potential on the mainland. It combines KFC’s business model with Chinese cuisine. The menu includes steamed pastries such as buns, and Chinese tea.

    The fast-food brand has been eclipsed by the rise of Chinese restaurant chains such as Da Niang Dumpling and Yang’s Dumplings which are adept at cooking Chinese food to appeal to local tastes.

    China’s catering sector has taken a beating from the coronavirus outbreak over the past two years as lockdown measures and social distancing rules have kept customers at bay.

    In 2020, restaurants across the mainland reported total revenue of 3.95 trillion yuan (US$625 billion), down 15.4 percent on the year, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.

    In the first half of 2021, the catering industry raked in sales of 2.17 trillion yuan, up 48.6 per cent from a year ago, but virtually unchanged from the same period of 2019.

    Yum China, whose other brands include Little Sheep, Huang Ji Huang and Coffii & Joy, operates more than 11,700 outlets on the mainland.

    It reported net profit of US$525 million in 2021, down 15 per cent from the previous year. Revenue grew 19 per cent to US$9.85 billion.

    Its shares trading in Hong Kong were changing hands at HK$378 (US$48.37) on Monday afternoon, having slumped 8 per cent from their initial public offering price of HK$412 in September, 2020.

  • Pizza Hut, KFC sales shrink in China as Covid-19 locks restaurants out

    Pizza Hut, KFC sales shrink in China as Covid-19 locks restaurants out

    Running restaurants in China is tough when a big part of the population stays home to avoid catching the coronavirus.

    Yum China , operator of KFC and Pizza Hut in the country, gave a glimpse of the current predicament in results posted after the U.S. close Wednesday. It has temporarily closed more than 30% of its restaurants in China, and business has been bad even for the ones that remain open. Sales during the Lunar New Year holiday were down 40%-50% compared with last year, excluding newly opened outlets.

    The company, which was spun off from Yum Brands in 2016, said it may report operating losses for this quarter—and even for the full year if the trend continues. Yum China’s New York-listed shares fell 3% in after-hours trading.

    KFC and Pizza Hut aren’t the only chains that have had to shut restaurants because of the outbreak, which has infected nearly 30,000 and killed more than 500 so far. Starbucks and McDonald’s have also temporarily closed some of their outlets in China. The former, in particular, could get hurt as customers opt to stay at home instead of chilling out in its coffee shops.

    Yum China could soften the blow with its delivery business, which accounted for nearly a quarter of its revenue last quarter. It said it would also try to reduce its costs. Some of these—food, labor, advertising and rent—are variable, but the company will still incur substantial fixed costs through the closure period.

  • Yum China Lifts Off Beyond Burger in KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell

    Yum China Lifts Off Beyond Burger in KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell

    Yum China has entered into a partnership with plant-based meat manufacturer Beyond Meat to trial a burger at selected KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell locations within the country.

    The agreement marks the introduction of Beyond Meat’s Beyond Burger in Mainland China.

    “We see great potential for the plant-based meat market in China,” said Yum China CEO Joey Wat. “This latest introduction … is expected to capture valuable consumer feedback across different regions in China. It will enable us to optimize flavors and processes and help assess the potential for larger-scale rollouts in the future.”

    Beyond Meat founder and CEO Ethan Brown said Chinese consumers are seeking out the nutritional and environmental benefits of plant-based meats.

    The burger will be available at five KFC locations in Beijing, Chengdu, Hangzhou and Shanghai. The Pizza Hut offering will launch at six Shanghai locations and will constitute part of the brand’s first-ever burger offering. Taco Bell will offer a taco made with the plant-based Beyond Burger patty at three stores in Shanghai.

    All Beyond Burger promotions will be sold as a three-day limited offer.

    The move follows Starbucks China launching a range of foods using plant-based meat alternatives, including two pasta dishes and a wrap featuring Beyond Meat and another dish using OmniPork.

  • Yum China reopens most stores, reports recovering footfall

    Yum China reopens most stores, reports recovering footfall

    Yum China says it is witnessing “early signs of recovery” in Mainland China as business gradually resumes and people return to work.

    However, the company, which operates KFC, Pizza Hut and Little Sheep chains, said in an update to shareholders that restaurant traffic remains “heavily impacted” as people continue to implement social-distancing measures.

    Store closures peaked in mid-February when about 35 percent of the company’s network was closed, the remainder offering only delivery and takeaway services. However, trade for those still trading significantly declined. Same-store sales for Yum China were down by between 40 percent and 50 percent year on year during the Chinese New Year holiday period.

    This week, about 95 percent of Yum China’s stores had reopened either fully or partially and about 15 percent of those continued to offer only takeaway or delivery services.

    In its update, Yum China said that while customer volumes were slowly building, they remained well down on pre-outbreak levels.

    “The pace of recovery varies by region and is slower during weekends as people avoid going out. In recent days, same-store sales were down approximately 20 percent. Sales performance fluctuates as the recovery is uneven, and the situation continues to evolve,” the company said.

    Yum China launched contactless delivery in late January, which proved popular and supported the delivery business during a period of lower dine-in traffic. “Delivery sales grew year over year, and its mix as a percentage of company sales approximately doubled.”

    Yum China also launched contactless pick-up and corporate catering services as highly sanitary options for consumers and corporate customers.

    Now that the coronavirus crisis appears to have passed its peak in Mainland China, the company is considering resuming its network expansion program. Currently paused – largely due to a shortage of construction workers and traffic restrictions – the company says it will “continue to monitor the situation and work with local authorities, resuming new store openings when conditions allow”.

    “Despite a challenging start to the year, Yum China is here for the long run, and will ensure that it remains well-positioned for the long-term growth opportunities in China.”

    Swedish furniture chain Ikea and Pizza Hut Hong Kong have teamed up to create a full-sized pizza table shaped exactly like the tiny plastic table (the “sava”) included in pizza boxes.

    The product is part of a collaboration that has also resulted in a new pizza recipe using Ikea’s meatballs – and comes packed in a genuine pizza box for good measure.

    The collaboration has been advertised throughout Hong Kong in a campaign designed by Ogilvy.

    “We’ve been absolutely thrilled to see the launch of the new Ikea and Pizza Hut pizza with a fun, cheeky campaign that has proven to be quite popular with the fans already on the first day,” said Ogilvy Hong Kong executive creative director John Koay. “This is a great pizza, and this campaign really shows how collaborations can really benefit the fans – not just the brands.”

    “This campaign shows the playful side of Pizza Hut,” said Pizza Hut Hong Kong marketing director Wendy Leung, “and that our credentials can move beyond the kitchen into new and interesting collaborations with other brands.”

    The Ikea and Pizza Hut collaboration has already proven popular with 67 percent of units already sold.

    Restaurant Brands posts lift in 2Q sales despite Starbucks exit

    Restaurant Brands posted a lift in quarterly sales largely due to the success of its 97 KFC stores in the country.

    The fast food retailer posted total sales of $259.7 million for the quarter to September 9, a 3.5 per cent increase from the previous corresponding period’s $8.8 million, despite its exit from Starbucks in October last year.

    Restaurant Brand’s New Zealand arm, which accounts for more than half of its revenue, posted a 1.5 per cent rise in operation sales to $134.8 million and a 5.4 per cent increase on a same store basis.

    Its operating divisions in Australia and Hawaii also showed strong same-store sales growth with sales increases of 5.8 per cent and 9.6 per cent respectively.

    Local KFC outlets posted an 8.8 per cent lift in sales to $113.5 million, more than making up for the group’s exit from Starbucks, which contributed $7.3 million.

    Australian KFC outlets produced sales of $62.0 million, up 5.8 per cent on both a total basis and a same store basis. Hawaiian operations sales were $62.9 million, up 6.4 per cent on a total basis and 9.6 per cent on a same store basis.

    There was 5.9 per cent decline in second quarter sales for Restaurant Brands-owned Pizza Hut stores to $10.6 million from the same period last year. Same store sales for the quarter decreased by 4.3 per cent.

    Total Carl’s Jr. sales for the second quarter were $10.7 million, an increase of 8.3 per cent on the equivalent period last year following the introduction of delivery via the UberEats platform. Same store sales for the quarter were up by 8.2 per cent.

    Total Taco Bell sales were up $38.1 million on the back of several successful promotions, an 11.1 per cent increase.

    Pizza Hut Hawaii sales were flat, $24.7 million, compared to the prior year.

    The retailer’s year to date sales rose 2.7 per cent to $442.6 million compared to the previous corresponding period.

    Company store numbers were down by 20 on the equivalent period last year to 285, primarily from the sale of the 22 Starbucks Coffee stores.

  • Yum China speeding up expansion plans

    Yum China speeding up expansion plans

    Yum China plans to invest up to US$525 million opening between 800 and 850 new stores in the current financial year.

    Most of the new stores will be KFC outlets and of its new cafe chain Coffii & Joy.

    The protections were included in the company’s second-quarter results released overnight, which showed total system sales up 10 percent year on year to US$2.12 billion, with KFC leading the way at 12 percent. Sales at Pizza Hut rose by 4 percent.

    While sales were up, much of the growth was driven by network expansion. Same-store sales grew 4 percent, with a 5-per-cent increase at KFC and a 1-per-cent increase at Pizza Hut.

    Restaurant margin slipped from 15.1 percent to 14.7 percent, however, operating profit rose 6 percent from $193 million to $204 million.

    Net Income increased 24 percent from $143 million to $178 million, primarily due to the increased operating profit and a gain from the company’s equity investment in Meituan Dianping.

    During the quarter, Yum China opened 178 new restaurants taking its store count to 8751 across more than 1300 cities.

    “We continued to capitalise on market opportunities across China with aggressive, KFC-led store expansion,” said Yum China CFO Jacky Lo. “With a strong cash payback period for new KFC stores and many untapped opportunities, we intend to continue to rapidly expand our store footprint in the second half of the year.

    “Looking forward, we expect overall sales growth to moderate as KFC begins to lap several key sales drivers, including successful value campaigns that we initiated in the second half of last year. However, we remain confident that our strong foundation and commitment to innovation throughout our business will power continued growth for Yum China. We will continue to create new and exciting menu items, and leverage our leadership in digital, data and delivery to meet the evolving needs of our consumers.”

  • Mexican investor Bought three quarters of Restaurant Brands

    Mexican investor Bought three quarters of Restaurant Brands

    Restaurant Brands has announced Mexican investor Finaccess Capital SA de CV now has a controlling stake in the company after acquiring three quarters of the company’s shares.

    The deal closed on March 26 following Finaccess’ offer through its subsidiary, Global Valar SL, for up to 75 per cent of Restaurant Brands New Zealand shares at NZ$9.45 cash per share.

    Finaccess informed Restaurant Brands, the New Zealand franchise operator of Pizza Hut, KFC and Carl’s Jr, on Tuesday that it has paid shareholders for shares taken up under the partial takeover.

    The Mexico-based company, which also has a stake in AmRest, which operates KFC and Pizza Hut among other brands across Europe and China, said in its offer letter last year that it chose not to make a full takeover bid because there were benefits to Restaurant Brands remaining on the NZX and ASX.

    “By remaining a public company, Restaurant Brands will have access to capital to fund future growth while also providing existing shareholders an opportunity to continue participating in the business over the long term,” Finaccess said at the time.

    Restaurant Brands today also announced the appointment of Jose Pares Gutierrez and Emilio Fullaondo Botella as directors, and resignation of Stephen Copulos, Vicky Taylor and David Beguely as directors.

    As required by the NZX Listing Rules, Gutierrez and Botella will each stand for re-election at Restaurant Brands’ next annual meeting of shareholders.

    Ted van Arkel and Hamish Stevens will each remain on the board as independent directors, and Van Arkel will continue as chairman, until Restaurant Brands’ next annual meeting of shareholders on July 10. Both have announced their intention to retire as directors at the conclusion of that meeting.

    Gutierrez, the CEO of Global Valar SL and its parent, Finaccess Capital, is also the chairman of the board and a proprietary director of AmRest Holdings SE, the director of the board of Crown Imports, Chicago, Il, vice chairman of the board of MMI, Toronto, Canada, director of the Board of DIFA, Mexico, and former member of the Beer Chamber of Mexico.

    Botella, a senior executive with over 23 years of experience in the beer industry, has previously worked in a number of finance roles for Grupo Modelo, including four years as chief financial officer.

    Following the acquisition of Grupo Modelo by AB InBev in 2013, Gutierrez oversaw significant cultural and organisational changes at AB InBev (Mexico) as vice president, human resources (to 2017) and vice president, Projects until his resignation in January 2019.

Most of all, it was a meeting of minds and we believe this is fundamental to any successful partnership,” says Joyce Tan, Senior Director, Marketing & Food Innovation, Pizza Hut Singapore. “We launched ‘Your Slice of Simple’ campaign last year and believe that BLKJ is a strong partner to help reinforce and cement this positioning for our brand.”
