Litigation

From time to time, we are a defendant in litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business, including claims resulting from “slip and fall” accidents, claims under federal and state laws governing access to public accommodations, employment-related claims and claims from guests alleging illness, injury or other food quality, health or operational concerns. To date, none of this litigation, some of which is covered by insurance, has had a material effect on us.

During the 3rd quarter of our fiscal year 2011, suit was filed against us alleging that we charge employees for required uniforms in violation of the Florida Minimum Wage Act. The Plaintiff is attempting to certify the suit as a class action and we are both defending vigorously against the class certification as well as the allegations contained in the lawsuit. This lawsuit is uninsured and an adverse decision could have a material effect on us.
