Taco Bell’s sales surged, thanks to the Mexican Pizza

The Mexican fast-food chain’s same-store sales rose 8% last quarter. But sister chains KFC and Pizza Hut did not fare nearly as well.

The pizza chain revamps and diversifies its pasta lineup with four new recipes made with premium ingredients and a different noodle shape.

Yum Brands says a deal to transfer its KFC assets to a local operator is almost done.

The Bottom Line: Pizza chains are struggling to find enough drivers. They are increasingly turning to delivery services, which are not having the same problem.

The pizza chain’s sales fell, much like Domino’s, because of the driver shortage. But the company says operators that have used aggregators are seeing sales benefits.

The pizza chain’s domestic same-store sales fell 6% and executives blamed a shortage of delivery drivers. Taco Bell and KFC sales both increased.

SOC Investment Group wants other shareholders to vote against a pay package for the KFC owner’s top executives, citing one-time awards based on unit count growth.
