Internationally (outside of the US), Taco Bell has over 1,100 restaurants, with a bold goal to sit at 3,000 restaurants by the end of 2025. The brand's steady growth and strong business model have earned it the #1 position on Entrepreneur's "Franchise 500 list" two years running and has been named "Most Innovative Company" by Fast Company and AdAge "Marketer of the Year." As part of Yum, alongside our sister brands - KFC, Pizza Hut and The Habit Burger Grill - we are famous for career growth and development, as well as constantly pushing innovation and inspiration in the QSR sector.

Much of Taco Bell's everlasting appeal with its fans and legendary connection in lifestyle culture are rooted in first-ever, buzzy marketing campaigns, like selling out "The Bell Hotel"- the first-ever QSR-themed resort hotel-in less than two minutes; the brand continues to push the boundaries of becoming a "Category of One" with young, diverse audiences. We encourage our fans to "Live Mas" and connect with them through sports, gaming and new music via our Feed The Beat music program. Taco Bell also provides education opportunities and serves the community through its nonprofit organization, the Taco Bell Foundation, and connects fans with their passions through programs such as the Live Mas Scholarship program.
