Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Financial Statement Presentation	Financial Statement Presentation We have prepared our accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, we suggest that the accompanying Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (“ 2019 Form 10-K”). Yum! Brands, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Company,” “YUM,” “we,” “us” or “our”) franchise or operate a system of over 50,000 restaurants in more than 150 countries and territories. As of June 30, 2020 , 98% of these restaurants were owned and operated by franchisees. The Company’s KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands are global leaders of the chicken, pizza and Mexican-style food categories, respectively. The Habit Burger Grill, a concept we acquired on March 18, 2020, is a fast-casual restaurant concept specializing in made-to-order chargrilled burgers, sandwiches and more. As of June 30, 2020 , YUM consisted of four operating segments: • The KFC Division which includes our worldwide operations of the KFC concept • The Pizza Hut Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Pizza Hut concept • The Taco Bell Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Taco Bell concept • The Habit Burger Grill Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Habit Burger Grill concept YUM's fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends December 31 of each year, with each quarter comprised of three months. The majority of our U.S. subsidiaries and certain international subsidiaries operate on a weekly periodic calendar where the first three quarters of each fiscal year consists of 12 weeks and the fourth quarter consists of 16 weeks in fiscal years with 52 weeks and 17 weeks in fiscal years with 53 weeks. Our remaining international subsidiaries operate on a monthly calendar similar to that on which YUM operates. Our Habit Burger Grill Division operates on a weekly periodic calendar where each quarter consists of 13 weeks, except in fiscal years with 53 weeks when the fourth quarter consists of 14 weeks. Our preparation of the accompanying Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The accompanying Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly, when read in conjunction with our 2019 Form 10-K, the results of the interim periods presented. Our results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders' deficit for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Our significant interim accounting policies include the recognition of advertising and marketing costs, generally in proportion to revenue, and the recognition of income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate. We have reclassified certain other items in the Financial Statements for the prior periods to be comparable with the classification for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2020 . These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported Net Income. COVID-19 In late 2019 a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was first detected. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, and governmental authorities around the world have implemented measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, including restrictions on travel outside the home and other limitations on business and other activities as well as encouraging social distancing. As a result of COVID-19, we and our franchisees have experienced significant store closures and instances of reduced store-level operations, including reduced operating hours and dining-room closures. Recently, COVID-19 cases have been increasing in the U.S. and certain other regions of the world, which has resulted in some governmental authorities re-imposing restrictions on business and other activities that were previously lifted or reduced. The impacts of COVID-19 significantly impacted our results in the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2020. As a result of the impact of COVID-19 on the Habit Burger Grill's results as well as general market conditions, we recognized an after-tax goodwill impairment charge of $107 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 related to our Habit Burger Grill reporting unit (See Note 2 ). There were no other significant impairments recorded during the year to date ended June 30, 2020. Due to the uncertainty surrounding our current assumptions regarding the expected severity and duration of the impact of COVID-19 on our and our franchisees' operations, we currently believe it is reasonably possible that certain significant estimates underlying long- lived asset and goodwill impairment evaluations as well as expected credit loss assessments within these Financial Statements will change in the near term. The effect of such a change may be material. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a standard that requires measurement and recognition of expected versus incurred credit losses for financial assets held. As required, we adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 which resulted in the recording of a cumulative adjustment to Accumulated deficit of $8 million primarily to establish an expected credit loss liability for the contingent aspect of our financial guarantees. Substantially all of our financial guarantees relate to lease payments that our franchisees are primarily liable for and for which we are secondarily liable. See Note 14 . Upon adoption of the standard the Company's accounting policy for the measurement of credit losses related to our primary financial asset, our receivables from our franchisees, is as shown below. Expected credit losses for uncollectible franchisee receivable balances consider both current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions. Current conditions we consider include pre-defined aging criteria as well as specified events that indicate we may not collect the balance due. Reasonable and supportable forecasts used in determining the probability of future collection consider publicly available data regarding default probability. In January 2017, the FASB issued a standard that eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, an impairment charge is recognized based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. We adopted this standard, which requires prospective application, beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2020. As a result, the goodwill impairment charge related to our Habit Burger Grill reporting unit (See Note 2

Note 2. Habit Burger Acquisitio

Note 2. Habit Burger Acquisition (Notes)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2020
Business Acquisition [Line Items]
Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block]	Habit Burger Grill Acquisition On March 18, 2020, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of The Habit Restaurants, Inc. As of the date of acquisition, The Habit Restaurants, Inc. operated 245 company-owned and 31 franchised Habit Burger Grill restaurants across the U.S. and in China, offering a flavor-forward variety of made-to-order items chargrilled over an open flame. We expect Habit Burger Grill to benefit from the global scale and resources of YUM and that the acquisition will accelerate and diversify YUM's growth. Total cash consideration paid in connection with the acquisition was $408 million , net of acquired cash of $20 million . This included $9 million for the settlement of existing share-based awards previously issued to The Habit Restaurants, Inc. employees and $53 million associated with an obligation to former shareholders of The Habit Restaurants, Inc. related to a tax receivable agreement entered into in connection with its initial public offering in 2014. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on management's analysis, including preliminary work performed by third party valuation specialists, as of March 18, 2020. We will continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair value of net assets acquired during the measurement period. There were no changes to this preliminary purchase price allocation during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The components of the preliminary purchase price allocation upon the March 18, 2020 acquisition were as follows: Total Current Assets $ 12 Property, plant and equipment, net 129 Habit Burger Grill brand (included in Intangible assets, net) 98 Operating lease right-of-use assets (included in Other assets) 163 Other assets 22 Total Assets 424 Total Current Liabilities (68 ) Operating lease liabilities (included in Other liabilities and deferred credits) (165 ) Other liabilities (2 ) Total Liabilities (235 ) Total identifiable net assets 189 Goodwill 219 Net consideration transferred $ 408 The Habit Burger Grill brand, which includes the related trademarks, was valued by applying the income approach through a relief from royalty analysis and it has been assigned an indefinite life and, therefore, will not be amortized. The brand asset will be tested for impairment on an annual basis as of the beginning of our fourth quarter or more often if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate impairment might exist. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary estimated fair value of the net, identifiable assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill were several strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized by Habit Burger Grill from the acquisition. These benefits include leveraging YUM's scale and resources in unit development, primarily through franchising, supply chain and global brand-building. Goodwill determined through the purchase price allocation will be entirely allocated to the Habit Burger Grill Division and goodwill of approximately $200 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Habit's total operating lease liabilities represent the present value of minimum lease payments, including rental payments for lease renewal options we are reasonably certain to exercise. The nominal value of these minimum lease payments as of June 30, 2020 approximated $225 million . Additionally, the nominal value of minimum lease payments associated with Habit leases that have not yet commenced approximated $35 million as of June 30, 2020. The pro forma impact on our results of operations if the acquisition had been completed as of the beginning of 2019 would not have been significant. During the first quarter of 2020, the operations of substantially all Habit Burger Grill restaurants were impacted by COVID-19. As a result, we performed an interim impairment test of the Habit Burger Grill reporting unit goodwill as of March 31, 2020. This test of impairment included comparing the estimated fair value of the Habit Burger Grill reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill, as originally determined through our preliminary purchase price allocation. The fair value estimate of the Habit Burger Grill reporting unit was based on the estimated price a willing buyer would pay for the reporting unit and was determined using an income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis using unobservable inputs (Level 3). The most impactful of these inputs included future average unit volumes of Habit Burger Grill restaurants as well as restaurant unit counts. The fair value was determined based upon a probability-weighted average of three scenarios, which included assumed recovery of Habit Burger Grill average unit volumes to a pre—COVID-19 level over periods ranging from the beginning of 2021 to the end of 2022. Factors impacting restaurant unit counts were near-term unit closures as the result of COVID-19 as well as the pace of expected new unit development. Unit counts assumed were correlated with the expected recoveries in average unit volumes. Based upon this fair value estimate, we determined that the carrying value of our Habit Burger Grill reporting unit exceeded its fair value. As a result, during the first quarter of 2020 we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $139 million to Other (income) expense and a corresponding income tax benefit of $32 million

Cash paid for interest during the years to date ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $243 million and $253 million , respectively. On March 24, 2020 we borrowed $525 million under our Revolving Facility in order to increase our liquidity position in light of the impacts on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic. This borrowing, together with $425 million borrowed under the Revolving Facility on March 18, 2020 to fund amounts associated with the acquisition of The Habit Restaurants, Inc., resulted in an aggregate of $950 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility as of March 31, 2020. In the second quarter, we made repayments of $375 million under the Revolver Facility that resulted in an outstanding balance of $575 million as of June 30, 2020 . YUM Senior Unsecured Note Issuance On April 1, 2020, YUM! Brands, Inc. issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% YUM Senior Unsecured Notes due April 1, 2025 (the “2025 Notes”).

Interest on the 2025 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2020. The indenture governing the 2025 Notes contains covenants and events of default that are customary for debt securities of this type, including cross-default provisions whereby the acceleration of the maturity of any of our indebtedness in a principal amount of $100 million or more or the failure to pay the principal of such indebtedness at its stated maturity will constitute an event of default under the 2025 Notes unless such indebtedness is discharged, or the acceleration of the maturity of that indebtedness is annulled, within 30 days after notice.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	Derivative Instruments We use derivative instruments to manage certain of our market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Interest Rate Swaps We have entered into interest rate swaps with the objective of reducing our exposure to interest rate risk for a portion of our variable-rate debt interest payments under our Term Loan B Facility. At both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , our interest rate swaps expiring in July 2021 had notional amounts of $1.55 billion and our interest rate swaps expiring in March 2025 had notional amounts of $1.5 billion . These interest rate swaps are designated cash flow hedges as the changes in the future cash flows of the swaps are expected to offset changes in expected future interest payments on the related variable-rate debt. There were no other interest rate swaps outstanding as of June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019 . Gains or losses on the interest rate swaps are reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into Interest expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the same period or periods during which the related hedged interest payments affect earnings. Through June 30, 2020 , the swaps were highly effective cash flow hedges. Foreign Currency Contracts We have entered into foreign currency forward and swap contracts with the objective of reducing our exposure to earnings volatility arising from foreign currency fluctuations associated with certain foreign currency denominated intercompany receivables and payables. The notional amount, maturity date, and currency of these contracts match those of the underlying intercompany receivables or payables. Our foreign currency contracts are designated cash flow hedges as the future cash flows of the contracts are expected to offset changes in intercompany receivables and payables due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Gains or losses on the foreign currency contracts are reported as a component of AOCI. Amounts are reclassified from AOCI each quarter to offset foreign currency transaction gains or losses recorded within Other (income) expense when the related intercompany receivables and payables affect earnings due to their functional currency remeasurements. Through June 30, 2020 , all foreign currency contracts related to intercompany receivables and payables were highly effective cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , outstanding foreign currency contracts related to intercompany receivables and payables had total notional amounts of $53 million and $20 million , respectively. These foreign currency forward contracts all have durations that expire in 2020. As a result of the use of interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts, the Company is exposed to risk that the counterparties will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, we only enter into contracts with major financial institutions carefully selected based upon their credit ratings and other factors, and continually assess the creditworthiness of counterparties. At June 30, 2020 , all of the counterparties to our interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts had investment grade ratings according to the three major ratings agencies. To date, all counterparties have performed in accordance with their contractual obligations.

The fair value of our investment in 2.8 million shares of Grubhub, Inc. common stock we own was determined primarily based on closing market prices for the shares. The other investments primarily include investments in mutual funds, which are used to offset fluctuations for a portion of our deferred compensation liabilities and whose fair values were determined based on the closing market prices of the respective mutual funds as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 .

Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies	Contingencies Lease Guarantees As a result of having assigned our interest in obligations under real estate leases as a condition to the refranchising of certain Company-owned restaurants, and guaranteeing certain other leases, we are frequently secondarily liable on lease agreements. These leases have varying terms, the latest of which expires in 2065. As of June 30, 2020 , the potential amount of undiscounted payments we could be required to make in the event of non-payment by the primary lessee was approximately $450 million . The present value of these potential payments discounted at our pre-tax cost of debt at June 30, 2020 , was approximately $375 million . Our franchisees are the primary lessees under the vast majority of these leases. We generally have cross-default provisions with these franchisees that would put them in default of their franchise agreement in the event of non-payment under the lease. We believe these cross-default provisions significantly reduce the risk that we will be required to make payments under these leases, although such risk may not be reduced in the context of a bankruptcy or other similar restructuring of a large franchisee or group of franchisees. The liability recorded for our expected losses under such leases as of June 30, 2020 was not material. Legal Proceedings We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, real estate, environmental and other matters arising in the normal course of business. An accrual is recorded with respect to claims or contingencies for which a loss is determined to be probable and reasonably estimable. Yum! Restaurants India Private Limited (“YRIPL”), a Yum subsidiary that operates KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants in India, is the subject of a regulatory enforcement action in India (the “Action”). The Action alleges, among other things, that KFC International Holdings, Inc. and Pizza Hut International failed to satisfy certain conditions imposed by the Secretariat for Industrial Approval in 1993 and 1994 when those companies were granted permission for foreign investment and operation in India. The conditions at issue include an alleged minimum investment commitment and store build requirements as well as limitations on the remittance of fees outside of India. The Action originated with a complaint and show cause notice filed in 2009 against YRIPL by the Deputy Director of the Directorate of Enforcement (“DOE”) of the Indian Ministry of Finance following an income tax audit for the years 2002 and 2003. The matter was argued at various hearings in 2015, but no order was issued. Following a change in the incumbent official holding the position of Special Director of DOE (the “Special Director”), the matter resumed in 2018 and several additional hearings were conducted. On January 29, 2020, the Special Director issued an order imposing a penalty on YRIPL and certain former directors of approximately Indian Rupee 11 billion, or approximately $145 million. Of this amount, $140 million relates to the alleged failure to invest a total of $80 million in India within an initial seven-year period. We have been advised by external counsel that the order is flawed and have filed a writ petition with the Delhi High Court, which granted an interim stay of the penalty order on March 5, 2020. The stay order continues until the next hearing scheduled for October 1, 2020. We deny liability and intend to continue vigorously defending this matter. We do not consider the risk of any significant loss arising from this order to be probable. We are currently engaged in various other legal proceedings and have certain unresolved claims pending, the ultimate liability for which, if any, cannot be determined at this time. However, based upon consultation with legal counsel, we are of the opinion that such proceedings and claims are not expected to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Litigation, Nature	On January 29, 2020, the Special Director issued an order imposing a penalty on YRIPL and certain former directors of approximately Indian Rupee 11 billion, or approximately $145 million. Of this amount, $140 million relates to the alleged failure to invest a total of $80 million in India within an initial seven-year period. We have been advised by external counsel that the order is flawed and have filed a writ petition with the Delhi High Court, which granted an interim stay of the penalty order on March 5, 2020. The stay order continues until the next hearing scheduled for October 1, 2020. We deny liability and intend to continue vigorously defending this matter. We do not consider the risk of any significant loss arising from this order to be probable.
