    Another week, another JPS (Joint Planning Session). This time, we visited the beautiful country of Costa Rica, where KFC has more than doubled its footprint in the last few years! ⚡️Highlights: 🍗 Amazing products! Their chicken is world class, and I especially love the current Saucy Wings LTO! It was great to be able to recognize Marcelo, the cook who made them for us - because his job is truly the most important one in the brand! 🏠 Beautiful assets - Costa Rica opens great looking stores, and we loved visiting this new one in Santa Ana! 🚗 One of the very best drive-thru operators in our region! The team here has cracked the code on how to be fast and friendly! ❤️ Lovely team under the leadership of Rafael Abreu and Alfonso Gutiérrez Badilla! We greatly enjoyed the time we got to spend with you - thank you!! 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷 Here is to a great 2026! Flávia Guetter Alejandra Gonzalez Ximena Duque Roberta Groth Diego Gaitan Tess Michan

    We kicked our annual Joint Planing Sessions with our markets off in Jamaica this year, where KFC is celebrating its 50th anniversary! 🇯🇲 I don’t know of another market where our brand is sooo beloved! From the moment we land to the moment we leave (dressed in KFC gear, of course 🤣), every customs agent, hotel clerk, restaurant waiter, flight attendant etc talks to us about how much they love KFC Jamaica (followed by disappointment that we don’t have buckets of chicken with us 🫠) 🍗 Once you try our product there (especially the BBQ chicken and Zinger sandwich), you know why! 🎉 In addition to that, Tina Matalon and Andrei Roper do an amazing job really driving the brand in culture and making sure it shows up in all the spaces that are relevant to Jamaicans! 🙏🏻 Thank you, Team Jamaica, for hosting us, and thank you to my team Flávia Guetter Roberta Groth Diego Gaitan Rodrigo M. Ximena Duque for preparing and conducting a thoughtful and thorough planning session! Here’s to the next 50 years - no doubt they will be even better!! KFC LA&C

    Once a year, KFC LA&C comes together to celebrate Founders Day or the birthday of our very own Colonel Sanders. ✨ This year, we took the celebration to Nassau, Bahamas to celebrate side-by-side with our Team Members and RGM's - the true heartbeat of our business who make things happen every single day, brining our values to life and keeping operations running with passion, energy and care for our guests. Founders Day was the perfect mix of learning, connection, and celebration as we also launched our Breakthrough Training to lead with Smart, Heart and Courage. We closed the event with a vibrant Junkanoo Dinner filled with music, colors and joy - a perfect reflection of the spirit of our teams all while honoring the Colonel's legacy by celebrating those who keep it alive: Our People. ❤️🍗 Special thank you to our Team in Nassau! #KFCLAC #FoundersDay #PeopleFirst

    Meet Regina Borda 🌟 General Manager, KFC LA&C This October, Regina celebrates an incredible milestone, 22 years with Yum! Brands. Her journey has come full circle, starting with KFC LA&C, working across all Yum! Brands, and returning to KFC LA&C in recent years. Her career has been more of a zigzag than a straight line, spanning Marketing, Operations, Development, and Digital and now GM Leadership; and taking her to three countries and three U.S. states. Through it all, she’s learned one key lesson: “nothing happens without the right people, and nothing is real unless it’s real in the restaurant.” Outside of work, Regina is a passionate traveler and at home she embraces a multicultural life with her Swiss roots, Colombian husband, and together they have raised their three children in a way that has instilled empathy, resilience and laughter across cultures. What drives her most?  Impact: leaving the world a little better through people, projects, and daily choices. We are incredibly grateful to have Regina as part of our team — a bold, growth-mindset leader who inspires us all to aim higher and make a difference every day. #KFCLAC #Leadership

    We had a great 2026 Planning Meeting for KFC LA&C, led by the incredible Alejandra Gonzalez and her team! We tried copious amounts of new and delicious potential innovations (special shoutout to Roberta Piola for making it all happen!!), learned about the latest Global Trend from Greg Dzurik and the Collider team, got immersed in the Global KFC brand strategy with Valerie Kubizniak, received a master class in retail pricing and value from Nicholas Duminy, were surprised by a special VIP appearance by our CEO Scott Mezvinsky, plus delivered lots of recognition, had lots of fun, and, most importantly, walked away with solid first draft calendars and high enthusiasm for a great 2026 and beyond!

  • Earlier this month, we had the honor of welcoming our Global CEO, Scott Mezvinsky, along with the KFC Global Leadership Team and Market General Managers from around the world to Mexico City. This was more than just a visit. It was an energizing week of deep strategy discussions, future planning, and powerful reminders of what makes KFC special. From the scale of our global network to the strength of our people on the ground, every conversation reinforced how much opportunity lies ahead. We are incredibly proud that KFC MÉXICO had the chance to host this group. Thank you to everyone who helped make this a meaningful and memorable experience. #KFC #LeadTogether #KFCMexico

    Earlier this month, the KFC Global Leadership Team, Market General Managers (GMs) and I spent an incredible week in vibrant Mexico City. From in-depth strategy discussions and country-level showcases to detailed plans for the second half of 2025 and beyond, the energy and collaboration were truly inspiring. A big thank you to Regina Borda and the entire KFC LA&C team for being such thoughtful hosts during our visit.   A standout moment for me was the “Fryerside” chat with Yum! Brands incoming CEO Christopher Turner. His insights on how KFC leadership can leverage the scale of Yum! Brands as we race to meet the future consumer were both thought-provoking and motivating.   We also had the pleasure of a session with franchise partner Francisco Rovira, who shared the incredible story of growth in Mexico and his unwavering belief in our brand. Francisco reminded us that the Restaurant General Manager (RGM) is the #1 leader in our organization and that the success of KFC is a sum of the successes in every one of our restaurants. A heartfelt thank you to Francisco and the Premium Restaurant Brands team for hosting a fantastic food tasting in their restaurant.   Cheers to building on this momentum and achieving great things together. Let's keep pushing forward with passion and dedication!   #KFC #MexicoCity #LeadTogether

  • 🌿 Wellness in Action: A Day with a Lasting Impact 🌿 KFC LA&C took a meaningful pause to focus on something essential to how we live and work: our well-being. Our 2025 Wellness Day was more than just a break from the routine. It was a shared experience centered on health, balance, and connection. We began the day with optional biometric screenings to support our personal health goals, followed by a nourishing catered breakfast and fresh-pressed juices that gave us the fuel we needed. We spent time exploring a Yum! Brands benefits presentation that helped us better understand the tools and support available for our mental, physical, and financial wellness. We also made space to care for both body and mind: ✔️ Therapeutic massages to help unwind 💆 ✔️ Light, yet fun, movement challenges to keep us active 💪 ✔️ A calming sound healing session that helped us reset and reflect 🎚️ This day reminded us that wellness is not just a perk. It is a reflection of what we value as a team. When we take care of ourselves, we show up stronger for each other, for our work, and for the communities we serve. Here’s to creating more mindful moments, building healthier habits, and continuing to grow as a team that supports one another every step of the way. #WellnessDay2025 #KFCLAC #TeamCulture #EmployeeExperience #WorkplaceWellbeing #HealthyWorkplace #Gratitude
