  • Taco Bell employs more than 143,000 people in company-operated and franchised units and corporate offices in the US.
  • Nearly 150 million people see a Taco Bell commercial once a week - more than half the US population.
  • Over 2 billion tacos and 1 billion burritos of all varieties are served in Taco Bell restaurants each year.
  • In an average year in the US, Taco Bell consumers, company and franchise restaurants, consume:
    • 3.8 billion corn and flower tortillas
    • 62 million pounds of pinto beans
