Jardine Restaurant Group (JRG), one of Asia’s leading restaurant groups, together with Pizza Hut Taiwan was honoured with three awards at the biennial Yum! International Franchise Convention 2023. Organised by Yum! Brands, the awards presentation at gala event was a highlight of the global convention well attended by franchisees across 100+ markets.

Being nominated and recognised at this highly coveted industry awards alongside so many incredible operators from around the world is a strong testament to our passionate teams and their achievements in delivering the delicious food and delightful experiences to our customers.”

At a glittering awards gala in Singapore, Pizza Hut Taiwan of JRG took home the headlining win of the evening, the Franchisee of the Year Award.
