Yellow Cab Pizza Co. is a pizza restaurant chain based in the Philippines, founded in April 2001 by Eric Puno, Henry Lee and Albert Tan. Yellow Cab Pizza is currently owned by Max's Group, which also owns the local fried chicken chain Max's Restaurant. Yellow Cab Pizza currently operates 159 branches in the Philippines and numbers in overseas, including branches in Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, China, Vietnam, Oman and the United States.




Overview



The first branch of Yellow Cab Pizza Co. opened along Makati Avenue in Makati in April 2001. Because of having "yellow cab" in its name, many people thought of the chain as a taxi business; however, the name is a reference to the way it frequently uses the colors black and yellow, a pattern seen on New York City taxicabs.
The company's delivery service uses Vespa scooters.
In addition, Yellow Cab formerly operates a sister restaurant called Army Navy Burger Burrito. The latter was not included in the sale of Yellow Cab to Max's Group, and has spun off as a separate company.




Expansion


In November 2016, Max's Group Inc. (MGI), owner of the Yellow Cab Pizza brand, signed a development agreement deal with the Qatar-based franchise operator Silver Group to open 22 stores in Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman over the coming five years, beginning in January 2017. The agreement is the seventh overseas franchise contract signed by MGI in 2016.
In January 2017, the first Yellow Cab Pizza restaurant opened in the USA. The restaurant, with an address of 801 Dillingham Boulevard at Alakawa Street, Honolulu, Hawaii, is located in a small strip center that's part of the Costco Iwilei complex, and is next to a Max's Restaurant.
In February 2017, MGI signed a development agreement with the Blue Star Food Corporation in Vietnam to establish at least 12 Yellow Cab stores around the country.
