Subsequent Event

In November 2014, the Company announced a plan to reduce its general and administrative expenses. The plan includes a realignment and reinvestment of resources to focus primarily on accelerated restaurant development and consumer-facing restaurant technology to drive long-term growth. The Company expects to achieve the majority of the expense reductions through the realignment of its U.S. field operations and savings at its Restaurant Support Center in Dublin, Ohio. As a result, the Company expects to incur total costs aggregating approximately $20,000 to $25,000 primarily in the fourth quarter of 2014 and first half of 2015, comprised of severance and related employee costs of approximately $17,000 to $20,000 and recruiting and relocation costs of approximately $3,000 to $5,000, which will be recorded to “Facilities action charges, net” in our consolidated statement of operations. The Company anticipates this initiative will be substantially completed by the end of the second quarter of 2015.
