7.2
Yum Brands said on Feb. 5, 2025 that its Byte by Yum SaaS AI platform, announced in February 2025, is live in 38,000 restaurants and helped drive $11 billion in digital system sales with a 60% digital mix in Q4. The company reported component-level improvements — stockouts down up to 85%, aggregator ordering failures down up to 75%, and consumer satisfaction up to 10% — boosting same-store sales and unit economics.

Scoring Rationale
Official earnings metrics and broad adoption raise impact, but significance is mostly confined to Yum's ecosystem rather than industry-wide.
