Yum! Brands expanding steps in logistics sector
July 1, 2014 Category Logistics, Logistics industry
More than 100 Yum! logistics vehicles travel nearly 10,000 kilometers across Beijing every day to deliver food to its restaurants. As the largest restaurant chain in the world, Yum! Brands made its debut in the distribution sector at the Third China (Beijing) International Fair for Trade and Services from May 28 to June 1. The group runs more than 40,000 restaurants in some 130 countries and regions worldwide. Yum! Brands China built a logistics center in Beijing’s Tongzhou district in 2004, covering 6,7000 square meters. It is the largest of its 18 logistics centers across the nation and its first world-class center. The warehouses for dry goods and frozen goods take up 28,000 sq m, where more than 2,000 categories of items are stored, ranging from meat, flour and cooking oil to cookers, paper cups and straws. The center delivers 18 million boxes of goods a year to more than 1,000 KFC, Pizza Hut, Little Sheep and Dongfang Jibai restaurants in the North China region, with a delivery range of some 1,000 km. Yum! executives said they have renewed the concept of logistics-it is no longer simply workers moving boxes, information flow is increasingly important. Orders from restaurants, customer service and delivery information are all processed and analyzed by computers. Even in the storing procedure, half of the time is used to process bills and orders.
