  > Perhaps Yum Brands has the data

This is a decision made by two large California franchisees. Yum Brands was quoted in the original BI article that they had nothing to do with this.

  > Pizza Hut, owned by the Taco Bell parent company Yum! Brands, said the company was "aware of the recent changes to delivery services at certain franchise restaurants in California."
  > "Our franchisees independently own and operate their restaurants in accordance with local market dynamics and comply with all federal, state, and local regulations while continuing to provide quality service and food to our customers via carryout and delivery," Pizza Hut told BI.

I had to look up whether PacPizza LLC was just a subsidiary of YUM for California or something else when I read the article. IMO pointing out that this is a franchise, even if it’s a big one, is probably significant information that shouldn’t have been left out of the article.
