Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events On October 9, 2012, the Company began informing certain former employees with deferred vested balances in the YUM Retirement Plan of a limited opportunity to voluntarily elect an early payout of their pension benefits. The payout can be in the form of a lump sum payment equal to the present value of the participant's pension benefit or through a monthly annuity. These former employees will have until November 30, 2012 to make their election. The Company expects to make the lump sum payments and commence the monthly annuity payments beginning in December 2012 and intends to fund the payments from existing pension plan assets. The Company expects to record a pre-tax non-cash settlement charge in the fourth quarter of 2012 between $25 million and $75 million as a result of these payouts. The amount of the charge will depend upon the number of participants electing the lump sum payment option.
