We operate and franchise domestic fast casual restaurants (“Pie Five Units”) under the trademarks “Pie Five Pizza Company” or “Pie Five” ~~and operate~~ and franchise pizza buffet restaurants (“Buffet Units”), delivery/carry-out restaurants (“Delco Units”) and express restaurants (“Express Units”) domestically and internationally under the trademark “Pizza Inn.” We provide or facilitate the procurement and distribution of food, equipment and supplies to our domestic and international system of restaurants through our Norco Restaurant Services Company (“Norco”) division and through agreements with third party distributors.

We have offered consumers affordable, high quality pizza since 1958, when the first Pizza Inn restaurant opened in Dallas, Texas. We awarded our first franchise in 1963 and opened our first buffet restaurant in 1969. We began franchising the Pizza Inn brand internationally in the late 1970’s. In 1993, our stock began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market, and presently trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the ticker symbol “RAVE.” In June 2011, we opened the first Pie Five restaurant in Ft. Worth, Texas. We signed our first franchise development agreement for Pie Five in 2012.

Our principal executive offices are located at 3551 Plano Parkway, The Colony, Texas 75056, and our telephone number is (469) 384-5000.

We operate and franchise restaurant concepts under two distinct brands: Pie Five and Pizza Inn.

Pie Five is a fast-casual pizza concept that creates individualized pizzas which are baked in 140 seconds in our specially designed oven. Pizzas are created at the direction of our customers who choose from a variety of freshly prepared and displayed toppings, cheeses, sauces and doughs and complete their purchase process in less than five minutes. Customers can also get freshly prepared entrée and side salads, also made to order from our recipes or at the customer’s direction. They can also choose from several baked daily desserts like brownies, cookie pies, and cakes. A variety of soft beverages are available, as well as beer and wine in some locations.

Pie Five restaurants typically occupy leased, in-line or end-cap space of between 1,800 and 2,400 square feet in retail strip or multi-unit retail space. The restaurants typically are located in high traffic, high visibility urban or suburban sites in mid to large size metropolitan areas. With seating for 65 to 85 customers in most units, and patio seating when available, Pie Five restaurants primarily serve lunch and dinner to families, adults and children of all ages. Sales are predominantly on-premise though carry out is offered as well. We recently began implementing online and mobile ordering capability. Future sales growth initiatives may include delivery, drive-through and catering services. Due to the relatively compact footprint of the restaurants, and other operating advantages, we also believe Pie Five is well suited for non-traditional locations such as airports and college campuses.

As of the date of this prospectus, we owned and operated 13nine Pie Five restaurants and had 7173 franchised Pie Five restaurants.

We ~~operate~~franchise Buffet Units, Delco Units and Express Units under the Pizza Inn brand. Buffet Units and Delco Units feature crusts that are hand-made from dough made fresh in the restaurant each day. Our pizzas are made from a proprietary all-in-one flour mixture, real mozzarella cheese and a proprietary mix of classic pizza spices. In international markets, the menu mix of toppings and side items is occasionally adapted to local tastes.

Buffet Units offer dine-in, carryout and catering service and, in many cases, also offer delivery service. Buffet Units offer a variety of pizza crusts with standard toppings and special combinations of toppings in addition to pasta, salad, sandwiches, appetizers, desserts and beverages, including beer and wine in some locations, in an informal, family-oriented atmosphere. We occasionally offer other items on a limited promotional basis. Buffet Units are generally located in free standing buildings or strip center locations in retail developments in close proximity to offices, shopping centers and residential areas. The current standard Buffet Units are between 2,100 and 4,500 square feet in size and seat 120 to 185 customers. The interior decor is designed to promote a casual, lively, contemporary, family-style atmosphere. Some Buffet Units feature game rooms that offer a range of electronic game entertainment for the entire family.

Delco Units offer delivery and carryout service only and are typically located in shopping centers or other in-line retail developments. Delco Units typically offer a variety of crusts and some combination of side items. Delco Units occupy approximately 1,200 square feet, are primarily production facilities and, in most instances, do not offer seating. The decor of the Delco Unit is designed to be bright and highly visible and feature neon lighted displays and awnings. We have attempted to locate Delco Units strategically to facilitate timely delivery service and to provide easy access for carryout service.

Express Units serve our customers through a variety of non-traditional points of sale. Express Units are typically located in a convenience store, food court, college campus, airport terminal, travel plaza, athletic facility or other commercial facility. They have limited or no seating and solely offer quick carryout service of a limited menu of pizza and other foods and beverages. An Express Unit typically occupies approximately 200 to 400 square feet and is commonly operated by the operator or food service licensee of the commercial host facility. We have developed a high-quality pre-prepared crust that is topped and cooked on-site, allowing this concept to offer a lower initial investment and reduced labor and operating costs while maintaining product quality and consistency. Like Delco Units, Express Units are primarily production-oriented facilities and, therefore, do not require all of the equipment, labor or square footage of the Buffet Unit.

As of the date of this prospectus, we had domestic franchises for 93 Buffet Units, 11eight Delco Units and 5758 Express Units, as well as international franchises for 12 Buffet Units, 4140 Delco Units and eight Express Units.

Since 2013, we have funded the rapid expansion of our Pie Five chain primarily from operating cash flow and the proceeds of at-the-market sales of shares of our common stock under registration statements on Form S-3. To date, we have sold an aggregate of 2,083,372 shares of our common stock and have realized aggregate gross proceeds of $16.1 million from such at-the-market offerings. However, as a result of declines in our stock price, our board of directors determined that continued at-the-market sales of shares of our common stock were unnecessarily dilutive to our existing shareholders. At the same time, decreases in average weekly sales and comparable store sales for Pie Five restaurants diminished the available operating cash flow.

As an interim measure, our largest shareholder, Newcastle Partners, L.P., provided the Company a $1.0 million short term loan in December 2016. The loan is presently payable on the earlier of September 1, 2017, or the Company’s receipt of at least $2.0 million in additional debt or equity capital. In March 2017, we also completed a rights offering of our 4% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022, through which we raised gross proceeds of $3.0 million. However, additional capital is required to continue development of the Pie Five concept and provide necessary working capital.

On February 10, 2017, we received notice from The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) that, based on our Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 25, 2016, we were not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standard for minimum stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million. The notice further advised that, as of February 10, 2017, we also did not meet the alternative continued listing standards of either (a) market value of listed securities of at least $25.0 million, or (b) net income from continuing operations of $0.5 million for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years. Nasdaq has granted us an extension until August 9, 2017, to regain compliance with its listing standards. The completion of this offering is the first step in our plan to increase our stockholders’ equity above Nasdaq’s $2.5 million requirement.

Our board of directors believes that this rights offering provides the best means for satisfying our current cash needs by providing our existing shareholders the opportunity to participate in funding these needs while maintaining their percentage ownership in the Company. However, our board of directors is not making any recommendation as to whether you should exercise your subscription rights.

~~The exercise of your subscription rights for shares of~~Investing in our common stock involves a number of risks. Before you decide to ~~exercise subscription rights to purchase~~buy shares of our common stock, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below, in any applicable prospectus supplement and in the materials incorporated by reference herein.

The inability to successfully implement any aspect of our growth strategy could adversely affect our revenues and operating profits.

Our growth strategy includes developing new ~~Company-owned and~~ franchised Pie Five restaurants, as well as franchised Pizza Inn restaurants reflecting our updated Buffet Unit concept. Our growth strategy also relies on increasing Pie Five chainwide average per store sales, which have recently declined. We may be unable to achieve all or any of these objectives, which could adversely affect our revenues and operating profits.

~~We may be unable to maintain or accelerate the pace of development of new restaurants in accordance with our growth strategy.~~

Our ability to open new Company-owned Pie Five Units is largely dependent on our ability to identify and secure suitable locations, to manage and fund the development of such locations and to train and staff the restaurants. The rate at which we will be able to expand both concepts through franchise development is determined in part by our success in attracting and selecting qualified franchisees, by our ability to identify satisfactory sites in appropriate markets and by our ability to continue training and monitoring our franchisees. Accordingly, we may not be able to open restaurants in markets now targeted for expansion or otherwise meet our growth targets, thereby adversely impacting our revenues and operating profits.

~~The development of new Company-owned Pie Five Units is partially dependent on the availability of adequate capital.~~

Our ability to develop new Company-owned Pie Five Units depends, in part, on the availability of adequate capital to finance development and pre-opening costs and other growth-related expenses. We expect to fund planned capital expenditures primarily from operating cash flow supplemented by the proceeds of this offering. We do not presently have any bank credit facilities in place. As a result, lower than anticipated revenues, increased expenses, changes in our operating plans, or other events could result in the need for additional capital for us to timely develop the desired number of new Company-owned Pie Five Units. If such additional capital is not available on acceptable terms, or at all, our growth strategy could be compromised which, in turn, could adversely affect our revenues and operating profits.

We may be unable to consistently develop high performing new ~~Company-owned and~~ franchised Pie Five Units.

Our growth strategy relies, in part, on increasing Pie Five chainwide average per store sales primarily by developing new ~~Company-owned and~~ franchised Pie Five Units with higher average per store sales. Increasing average per store sales is largely a function of customer traffic, customer experience and the average check per customer. These factors may be influenced by, among other things, general economic conditions, the quality of restaurant sites, competitive pressures, consumer preferences, consumer perceptions of our reputation and product offerings, and customer experiences in our restaurants. If newly developed Pie Five Units do not perform as we expect, our revenues will be adversely affected and we may experience difficulty attracting new franchisees, thereby impeding our growth strategy and adversely affecting our business and operating profits.

The closure of existing restaurants or abandonment of development sites could offset the development of new restaurants.

A significant number of franchised Pizza Inn restaurants have been closed in the past decade. In addition, several Company-owned and franchised Pie Five Units have been closed during the last 18 months and several locations leased by us for future development of Company-owned Pie Five Units have been abandoned. If these trends continue, the successful development of new restaurants could be partially or wholly offset by the closure of existing restaurants or abandonment of development sites. Therefore, although closed restaurants are typically underperforming units and abandoned sites are considered no longer attractive, the continued closure of restaurants or abandonment of development sites could undermine our growth initiatives and adversely impact our revenues and operating profits.

Unfavorable resolution of lease disputes with respect to abandoned development sites could adversely affect our cash flow and results of operations.

We have determined to close several Company-owned Pie Five Units and abandon several locations leased by us for future development of Company-owned Pie Five Units. The leases for these closed stores and abandoned development sites have ten year terms. We previously reached agreements with the landlords to terminate the leases at most of these locations. However, we are continuing to negotiate with the landlords to terminate the leases with respect to several remaining sites. If we are unable to negotiate reasonable terms for termination of these remaining leases, our cash flow and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We may be harmed by actions taken by our franchisees that are outside of our control.

A significant portion of our earnings comes from royalties paid by our franchisees, as well as food and supply sales to franchised restaurants. Franchisees are independent operators whose personnel are not our employees. We provide training and support to franchisees, but the quality of franchised restaurant operations may be diminished by any number of factors beyond our control. Consequently, franchisees may not successfully operate restaurants in a manner consistent with our standards and requirements, or may not hire and train qualified managers and other store personnel. If they do not, our image and reputation may suffer, and revenues could decline. Our franchisees may take actions that adversely affect the value of our intellectual property or reputation. The failure of our domestic and international franchisees to operate their franchises successfully could reduce the amount of royalties payable to us and/or the amount of food and supply sales by us. Further, since domestic franchisees are only required to purchase certain proprietary items from Norco, changes in their purchasing practices could diminish our sales of food and supplies. Additionally, if one or more of our key franchisees were to become insolvent or otherwise were unable or unwilling to pay amounts due to us, our business and results of operations would be adversely affected.

Some of our Pie Five franchisees may be unable to satisfy their obligations under franchise development agreements.

Pie Five franchisees typically enter into multi-year development agreements for the opening of Pie Five Units. Each development agreement is scaled relative to the estimated development potential of the specified geographic area and requires the franchisee to achieve specified unit development milestones over a period of time, typically five years, to maintain their development rights in the area. If these unit development milestones are achieved, the franchisee typically has the option to develop up to a specified number of additional Pie Five Units in the territory. However, certain of our Pie Five franchisees have experienced difficulty in achieving their unit development milestones, and we may be required to waive or amend some of these unit development milestones or terminate the development agreements. As a result, we may not achieve the number of franchised Pie Five Units for which we have signed development agreements within the anticipated time frame. Any delay or inability to open additional franchised Pie Five Units could adversely impact our results of operations and financial position.

Loss of key personnel or our inability to attract and retain new qualified personnel could hurt our business and inhibit our ability to operate and grow successfully.

Our success will depend to a significant extent on our leadership team and other key management personnel. We may not be able to retain our executive officers and key personnel or attract additional qualified management. Our success also will depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel to oversee our restaurants, distribution operations and international operations. The loss of these employees or any inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

We face risks of litigation from customers, franchisees, employees and others in the ordinary course of business, which diverts our financial and management resources. Any adverse litigation or publicity may negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.

Claims of illness or injury relating to food quality or food handling are common in the food service industry. In addition to decreasing our sales and profitability and diverting our management resources, adverse publicity or a substantial judgment against us could negatively impact our financial condition, results of operations and brand reputation, hindering our ability to attract and retain franchisees and grow our business. Further, we may be subject to employee, franchisee and other claims in the future based on, among other things, discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination and wage, rest break and meal break issues, including those relating to overtime compensation. Franchisees may also assert claims alleging breach of a franchise or development agreement, unfair trade practices or failure to satisfy franchise disclosure obligations, especially in circumstances where we have terminated a franchise or development agreement. If one or more of these claims were to be successful or if there is a significant increase in the number of these claims, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed.

Shortages or interruptions in the delivery of food products could adversely affect our operating results.

We and our franchisees are dependent on frequent deliveries of food products that meet our specifications. Our Norco distribution division provides product sourcing, purchasing, quality assurance, research and development, franchisee order and billing services, and logistics support functions. We outsource warehousing and delivery services to third party restaurant distribution companies that deliver products to all domestic restaurants. Interruptions in the delivery of food products caused by unanticipated demand, problems in production or distribution by Norco, our suppliers, or our distribution service providers, inclement weather (including tornadoes, hurricanes and other natural disasters) or other conditions could adversely affect the availability, quality and cost of ingredients, which could adversely affect our operating results. Further, ~~although our Company-owned domestic restaurants purchase substantially all food and related products from Norco,~~ domestic franchisees are only required to purchase certain proprietary items from Norco. Therefore, changes in purchasing practices by domestic franchisees as a result of delivery disruptions or otherwise could adversely affect our financial results.

An increase in the cost of commodities such as cheese, or other operating expenses, including utilities and labor, could adversely affect our profitability and operating results.

An increase in our operating costs could adversely affect our profitability. Factors such as inflation, increased food costs, increased labor and employee benefit costs and increased energy costs may adversely affect our operating costs. Most of the factors affecting costs are beyond our control and we may not be able to pass along these increased costs to our customers or franchisees. Most ingredients used in our pizza, particularly cheese, are subject to significant price fluctuations as a result of seasonality, weather, availability, demand and other factors. Sustained increases in utility costs could also adversely affect the profitability of our restaurants. Further, government initiatives, such as health care reform and minimum wage rate increases, could increase our operating costs and adversely affect our operating results.

If we are not able to continue purchasing our key pizza ingredients from our current suppliers or find suitable replacement suppliers, our financial results could be adversely affected.

We are dependent on a few suppliers for some of our key pizza ingredients. Domestically, we rely upon sole suppliers for our cheese, meat toppings, sauce and certain other proprietary products. Alternative sources for these key ingredients may not be available on a timely basis or be available on terms as favorable to us as under our current arrangements. Any disruptions in our supply of key ingredients could adversely affect our operations.

We are subject to extensive government regulation, and any failure to comply with existing or adopted regulations could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We are subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations, including those relating to:

If we fail to comply with existing or future laws, rules and regulations, we may be subject to governmental or judicial fines or sanctions. In addition, our capital expenditures could increase due to remediation measures that may be required if we are found to be noncompliant with any of these laws or regulations.

We are also subject to a Federal Trade Commission rule and to various state and foreign laws that govern the offer and sale of franchises. These laws regulate various aspects of the franchise relationship, including terminations and the refusal to renew franchises. The failure to comply with these laws and regulations in any jurisdiction or to obtain required government approvals could result in a ban or temporary suspension on future franchise sales, fines or other penalties, or require us to make offers of rescission or restitution, any of which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We may be required to defend our intellectual property rights, which could negatively affect our results of operations.

We depend on our Pizza Inn and Pie Five brand names and rely on a combination of trademarks, copyrights, service marks and similar intellectual property rights to promote these brands. We believe the success of our business depends on our continued ability to use our existing trademarks and service marks to increase brand awareness and further develop our brands, both domestically and abroad. We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or we may be required to resort to litigation to enforce such rights. Litigation or settlements could result in high costs and diversion of resources, which could negatively affect our results of operations, regardless of the outcome.

Information technology disruptions or security breaches could adversely impact our operations and business.

We rely on our computer systems and network infrastructure for numerous aspects of our operations. Our operations depend upon our ability to protect our computer equipment and systems against damage from physical theft, fire, power loss, telecommunications failure or other catastrophic events, as well as from internal and external security breaches, viruses, worms and other disruptive problems. In addition, any actual or alleged security breach of the credit or debit card information of customers of our Company-owned restaurants could result in lawsuits, require notification of customers and/or result in adverse publicity. Therefore, any damage, failure or breach of our computer systems or network infrastructure could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our current insurance coverage may not be adequate, our insurance premiums may increase and we may not be able to obtain insurance at acceptable rates, or at all.

Our insurance policies may not be adequate to protect us from all liabilities that we incur in our business. In addition, in the future our insurance premiums may increase and we may not be able to obtain similar levels of insurance on reasonable terms, or at all. Any such inadequacy of, or inability to obtain, insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Although our common stock is currently traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, it may be subject to delisting.

On February 10, 2017, we received notice from Nasdaq that, based on our Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 25, 2016, we were not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standard for minimum stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million. The notice further advised that, as of February 10, 2017, we also did not meet the alternative continued listing standards of either (a) market value of listed securities of at least $25.0 million, or (b) net income from continuing operations of $0.5 million for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years. Nasdaq ~~has~~ granted us an extension until August 9, 2017, to regain compliance with its listing ~~standards. The completion of this offering is the first step~~standards which we were unable to timely satisfy. As a result, on August 10, 2017, Nasdaq advised that trading in our ~~plan~~common stock would be suspended unless we appealed such determination. We timely appealed the delisting determination and Nasdaq has now granted a further extension until February 6, 2018, subject to ~~increase our stockholders’ equity above Nasdaq’s $2.5 million requirement. Depending on our results of operations and other factors, we may need~~certain conditions, to ~~raise additional equity capital to maintain such compliance.~~regain compliance with its listing standards. If we fail to timely regain and maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards, our common stock will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq, which may cause the price of our common stock to decline or impair your ability to sell shares of our common stock.

Although our common stock is currently traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, it has less liquidity than the stock of many other companies.

The trading volume in our common stock on Nasdaq has been relatively low when compared with larger companies listed on the Nasdaq Global Market or the other stock exchanges. Shareholders, therefore, may experience difficulty selling a substantial number of shares for the same price at which shareholders could sell a smaller number of shares. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of our common stock in the market, or the availability of shares of common stock for sale in the market, will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the market, or the potential for large amounts of sales in the market, may cause the price of our common stock to decline or impair our future ability to raise capital through sales of our common stock.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate in the future, and these fluctuations may be unrelated to our performance.

General market price declines or overall market volatility in the future could adversely affect the price of our common stock, and the current market price may not be indicative of future market prices.

We do not expect to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future and, therefore, our shareholders may be required to liquidate their shares in order to realize a return on their investment.

We have never paid a dividend on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and dependent on our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and other relevant factors. Therefore, the holders of our common stock will likely be required to sell all or a portion of their shares in order to realize any return on their investment.

Certain provisions of state law could discourage certain transactions that our shareholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interest.

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Missouri. Although there are no provisions in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws intended to prevent or restrict takeovers, mergers or acquisitions, certain provisions of Missouri corporate law could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers of our Company. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which our shareholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests. See, “Description of Common Stock -- Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Statutory Provisions.”

Our primary shareholder group may be able to exert significant influence over shareholder decisions.

Newcastle Partners L.P. and its affiliates, including our Chairman, Mark E. Schwarz, ~~and one of our other directors, Clinton J. Coleman,~~ collectively own or control approximately ~~28%~~35% of our outstanding common stock. Therefore, this group may be able to exert significant influence over any matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, including the election of directors. As a result, other shareholders may be discouraged from proposing, or unable to pass, any initiatives requiring shareholder approval, including the election of an alternative slate of directors.

~~Shareholders may have their interest in the Company diluted as a result of this rights offering.~~

Shareholders may have their proportionate voting and ownership interest in the Company reduced as the result of this rights offering. Shareholders who do not fully exercise their subscription rights will not have the opportunity to offset this dilution by their purchases of additional shares of common stock. The magnitude of the reduction of your percentage ownership will depend upon the extent to which you fail to exercise your subscription rights.

~~This rights offering may adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.~~

The subscription price per share equals 66.2% of the current market price of our common stock (based on the average closing price of our common stock for the five trading days ending August 4, 2017). This discount, together with the number of shares we will issue if this offering is completed, may result in an immediate decrease in the market value of our common stock. This decrease may continue after the completion of this offering.

~~We have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this rights offering, including the repayment of indebtedness held by affiliates.~~

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering. A portion of such net proceeds is expected to be used to repay approximately $1.0 million in debt owed to Newcastle Partners, L.P., the largest shareholder of the Company and an affiliate of our Chairman, Mark E. Schwarz, and one of our other directors, Clinton J. Coleman. The remaining net proceeds are intended to be used for continued restaurant development activities, working capital and general corporate purposes that have not yet been specified. Therefore, you may not agree with the manner in which we allocate and spend these net proceeds.

~~The net proceeds of this rights offering may not be adequate to sustain our current operations or implement our growth plans.~~

In recent periods, we have experienced negative cash flow largely as the result of losses from operations and significant capital expenditures, in both cases primarily attributable to our efforts to develop new Company-owned Pie Five Units and expand the Pie Five franchise network. There can be no assurance that the net proceeds of this offering will be adequate to sustain our current level of operations or implement our future growth plans. If the net proceeds are insufficient for these purposes, we may be required to raise additional capital, scale back our current operations and/or defer some of our growth initiatives, any of which could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and share price.

The subscription price per share is not an indication of our value and you may not be able to sell shares purchased upon the exercise of your subscription rights at a price equal to or greater than the subscription price.

The subscription price per share was determined by our board of directors, and does not necessarily bear any relationship to the market value of our assets or to our operations, cash flows, earnings, financial condition or other established criteria for value. As a result, you should not consider the subscription price as an indication of the current market value of our company or our common stock. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell shares purchased in this offering at a price equal to or greater than the subscription price.

Once you exercise your subscription rights, you may not revoke the exercise. Therefore, even if the offering period is extended, there is a decline in the market price of our common stock, or other circumstances arise that cause you to change your mind about investing in our common stock, you will nonetheless be legally bound to proceed with your investment.

~~Because we may terminate this rights offering, your participation in the offering is not assured.~~

~~If we decide to terminate the rights offering for any reason, we will have no obligation with respect to the subscription rights except to return any subscription payments, without interest.~~

~~If we terminate this rights offering for any reason, your subscription payments will be returned to you without interest.~~

~~The subscription rights are not transferable and there is no market for the subscription rights.~~

You may not sell, give away or otherwise transfer your subscription rights. The subscription rights are only transferable to your affiliates and by operation of law. Because the subscription rights are non-transferable, there is no market or other means for you to directly realize any value associated with the subscription rights. You must exercise the subscription rights and acquire common stock to realize any value.

~~You need to act promptly and follow subscription instructions to avoid your subscription being rejected.~~

Shareholders who desire to purchase shares in this rights offering must act promptly to ensure that all required forms and payments are actually received by the subscription agent prior to 5:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, on the expiration date. If you fail to complete and sign the required subscription forms, send an incorrect payment amount, or otherwise fail to follow the subscription procedures that apply to your desired transaction, the subscription agent may, depending on the circumstances, reject your subscription or accept it only to the extent of the payment received. Neither we nor our subscription agent undertakes to contact you concerning such errors or to correct an incomplete or incorrect subscription form or payment. We have the sole discretion to determine whether a subscription exercise properly follows the subscription procedures.

If we are not able to compete effectively, our business, sales and earnings could be adversely affected.

The restaurant industry in general, as well as the pizza segment of the industry, is intensely competitive, both internationally and domestically, with respect to price, service, location and food quality. We compete against many national, regional and local businesses. There are many well-established competitors with substantially greater brand awareness and financial and other resources than we have. Some of these competitors may be better established in markets where we or our franchisees operate restaurants. A change in the pricing or other marketing or promotional strategies, including new product and concept developments, of one or more of our major competitors could have an adverse impact on sales and earnings and our chainwide restaurant operations. We could also experience increased competition from existing or new companies in the pizza segment of the restaurant industry. If we are unable to compete effectively, we could experience downward pressure on prices, lower demand for our products, reduced margins, the inability to take advantage of new business opportunities and the loss of market share, all of which would have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

We also compete on a broader scale with quick service, fast casual and other international, national, regional and local restaurants. The overall food service market and the quick service restaurant sector are intensely competitive with respect to food quality, price, service, convenience and concept. We also compete within the food service market and the restaurant industry for management and hourly employees, suitable real estate sites and qualified franchisees.

Norco is also subject to competition from outside suppliers. If other suppliers who meet our qualification standards for non-proprietary items offer lower prices or better service to our franchisees for their ingredients and supplies and, as a result, our franchisees choose not to purchase these non-proprietary items from Norco, our financial condition, business and results of operations would be adversely affected.

Changes in consumer preferences and perceptions could decrease the demand for our products, which would reduce sales and harm our business.

Restaurant businesses are affected by changes in consumer tastes, national, regional and local economic conditions, demographic trends, disposable purchasing power, traffic patterns and the type, number and location of competing restaurants. For example, if prevailing health or dietary preferences cause consumers to avoid pizza and other products we offer, or quick service restaurant offerings generally, in favor of foods that are perceived as more healthy, our business and operating results could be harmed.

Poor economic conditions could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The restaurant industry depends on consumer discretionary spending. Weak, volatile or uncertain national, regional or local economic conditions can negatively impact consumers’ ability and willingness to spend discretionary funds thereby decreasing customer traffic and/or average check per customer at our restaurants. If these poor economic conditions persist, consumers could permanently alter their dining habits and reduce the frequency with which they dine out. Therefore, such poor economic conditions could have a short-term or long-term adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We will retain broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from our sale of ~~shares~~our common stock under this prospectus. A portion of such net proceeds are expected to be used to repay approximately $1.0 million in debt owed to Newcastle Partners, L.P. pursuant to a promissory note dated December 22, 2016, which bears interest at 10% per annum and matures on the earlier of September 1, 2017, or the Company’s receipt of at least $2.0 million in additional debt or equity capital. Newcastle Partners, L.P. is the largest shareholder of the Company and an affiliate of our Chairman, Mark E. Schwarz, and one of our other directors, Clinton J. Coleman. We currently anticipate that the ~~remaining~~ net proceeds will be used to fund continued restaurant development activity and provide working capital for general corporate purposes.

Our board of directors has declared a dividend of subscription rights to holders of record of our common stock as of the record date of August 1, 2017. You are entitled to one right for each share of common stock owned on the record date. Each right entitles you to purchase 0.3351393 shares of common stock for the subscription price of $1.40 per share.

The subscription rights will expire if they are not exercised by 5:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, on September 8, 2017, which we refer to as the expiration date. We may extend the expiration date for up to 30 days in our sole discretion.

To exercise subscription rights, holders must return by the expiration date a properly completed subscription rights certificate and any other required documents, along with full payment of the subscription price for all rights for which subscriptions are exercised. Any subscription rights not exercised by the expiration date will expire without any payment to the holders of those unexercised subscription rights and become worthless.

This rights offering is subject to receipt of subscriptions for all shares offered. Until the offering is fully subscribed, subscription payments will be held in an escrow account with our transfer agent, Securities Transfer Corporation. We may cancel this rights offering at any time prior to the expiration date for any reason. If we cancel the rights offering, all subscription payments will be promptly returned without interest or deduction.

~~Our common stock is quoted on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “RAVE.”~~

We are distributing to holders of record of shares of our common stock on August 1, 2017, at no cost, one nontransferable subscription right for each share of our common stock they owned on the record date. The subscription rights will be evidenced by rights certificates. Each right entitles you to purchase 0.3351393 shares of common stock. You are not required to exercise any of your subscription rights. If the exercise of your subscription rights would result in your receipt of fractional shares, the aggregate number of shares issued to you will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. You will not receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

Subject to the allocation described below, each subscription right also grants the holder an over-subscription right to purchase additional shares of our common stock that were not subscribed by other rights holders pursuant to their basic subscription rights. You are entitled to exercise such over-subscription right only if you exercise your basic subscription right in full.

If you wish to exercise your over-subscription right, you should indicate the number of additional shares that you would like to purchase in the space provided on your rights certificate. When you return your rights certificate, you must also send the full purchase price for the number of additional shares that you have requested to purchase (in addition to the payment due for shares purchased through your basic subscription right). If the number of shares remaining after the exercise of all basic subscription rights is not sufficient to satisfy all requests for shares pursuant to over-subscription rights, then the available shares will be allocated proportionally (subject to eliminating fractional shares) in the proportion which the number of shares you purchased through the basic subscription right bears to the total number of shares that all over-subscribing stockholders purchased through the basic subscription right. However, if your pro-rata allocation exceeds the number of shares you requested in your rights certificate, then you will receive only the amount of shares that you requested, and the remaining shares from your pro-rata allocation will be divided among other rights holders exercising their over-subscription rights.

As soon as practicable after the expiration date, Securities Transfer Corporation, acting as our subscription agent, will determine the number of shares of common stock that you may purchase pursuant to the over-subscription right. If you are a record owner, you will receive certificates representing these shares as soon as practicable after the expiration date and after all allocations and adjustments have been effected. If you request and pay for more shares than are allocated to you, we will refund the overpayment, without interest. In connection with the exercise of the over-subscription right, banks, brokers and other nominee holders of subscription rights who act on behalf of beneficial owners will be required to certify to us as to the aggregate number of subscription rights exercised, and the number of shares requested through the over-subscription right, by each beneficial owner on whose behalf the nominee holder is acting. If you hold your shares through a brokerage account, you should note that most brokerages permit the beneficial owner to exercise their rights on one occasion only. Accordingly, if you plan to exercise your over-subscription right, you should do so at the time that you submit your subscription to your broker.

The subscription price under the subscription rights is $1.40 per share of common stock subscribed. The subscription price was determined by our board of directors, and is approximately 66.2% of the current market price of our common stock (based on the average closing price of our common stock for the five trading days ending August 4, 2017). The subscription price does not necessarily bear any relationship to our past or expected future results of operations, cash flows, current financial condition, or any other established criteria for value. No change will be made to the cash subscription price by reason of changes in the trading price of our common stock prior to the closing of this offering.

Our board of directors set all of the terms and conditions of this offering, including the subscription price. In establishing the subscription price, our board of directors considered various factors, including the historic and current market price of our common stock, the historic volatility of the market price of our common stock, our business prospects, our recent and anticipated operating results, general conditions in the securities markets, our need for equity capital, alternatives available to us for raising equity capital, the amount of proceeds desired, the pricing of similar transactions, the liquidity of our common stock, and the level of risk to our investors.

After taking these factors into account, our board of directors determined that $1.40 represented a fair subscription price. We did not seek or obtain any opinion of financial advisors or investment bankers in establishing the subscription price for the offering. You should not consider the subscription price as an indication of the value of our company or our common stock. We cannot assure that you will be able to sell shares purchased during this offering at a price equal to or greater than the subscription price.

The rights offering will expire at 5:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, on September 8, 2017, unless we decide to extend the rights offering. Any subscription rights not exercised on or before the expiration date will have no value and expire without any payment to the holders of the unexercised subscription rights. We will not be obligated to honor your exercise of subscription rights if the subscription agent receives the documents relating to your exercise after the rights offering expires, regardless of when you transmitted the documents, unless you have timely transmitted the documents under the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

We have the sole discretion to extend the expiration date from time to time for up to 30 days by giving oral or written notice to the subscription agent on or before the scheduled expiration date. If we elect to extend the expiration date, we will publicly announce the extension no later than 9:00 a.m., Dallas, Texas time on the next business day after the most recently announced expiration date.

We may cancel or terminate the rights offering at any time prior to the expiration date. Any cancellation or termination of this offering will be followed as promptly as practicable by public announcement of the cancellation or termination and any money received from subscribing rights holders will be promptly returned, without interest or deduction.

We reserve the right to withdraw or terminate this offering at any time for any reason. In the event that this offering is withdrawn or terminated, all funds received from subscriptions by stockholders will be returned. Interest will not be payable on any returned funds.

~~We reserve the right to amend the terms of this offering. If we make an amendment that we consider significant, we will:~~

~~The extension of the expiration date will not, in and of itself, be treated as a significant amendment for these purposes.~~

~~Except in the limited circumstances described below, only you may exercise your subscription rights. You may not sell, give away or otherwise transfer your subscription rights.~~

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may transfer your subscription rights to an existing 401(k), IRA or other similar investment plan (subject to all of the rules, regulations and restrictions of such plan) established for your benefit, or that plan may transfer such rights to you, provided that, in each case, such transfer is otherwise in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. Your subscription rights also may be transferred to any of your affiliates or by operation of law. For example, a transfer of rights to the estate of the holder upon the death of the holder would be permitted. As used in this paragraph, an affiliate means any person (including a 401(k), IRA or other similar investment plan subject to all the applicable rules, regulations and restrictions of such plan, or a partnership, corporation or other legal entity such as a trust or estate) which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with you. If your rights are transferred as permitted, evidence satisfactory to the subscription agent that the transfer was proper must be received prior to the expiration date of this offering.

~~You may exercise your subscription rights by delivering to the subscription agent on or prior to the expiration date:~~

You should carefully read and follow the instructions accompanying the rights certificate. You should deliver your rights certificate and payment to the subscription agent as provided below under “Delivery of Subscription Materials and Payment.”

We reserve the right to reject any exercise of subscription rights if the exercise does not fully comply with the terms of the rights offering, is not in proper form or would be unlawful. We will not pay you interest on funds delivered for the exercise of subscription rights.

Signatures on the rights certificate do not need to be guaranteed if either (a) the rights certificate provides that the shares of common stock being subscribed are to be delivered directly to the record owner of the subscription rights, or (b) the rights certificate is submitted for the account of a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States. Signatures on all other rights certificates must be guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution, as defined in Rule 17Ad-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which include banks, brokers, dealers, credit unions, national securities exchanges and savings associations.

You should deliver your rights certificate and payment of the subscription price or, if applicable, notice of guaranteed delivery, to the subscription agent by mail, by hand or by overnight courier to:

You are responsible for the method of delivery of your rights certificate and subscription payment to the subscription agent. If you send your rights certificate and subscription payment by mail, we recommend that you send them by registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested. You should allow a sufficient number of days to ensure delivery to the subscription agent prior to the expiration date of this offering.

~~Do not send your rights certificate or subscription price payment to us. Your delivery to an address other than the address set forth above will not constitute valid delivery.~~

Your payment of the subscription price must be made in U.S. dollars for the full number of shares of common stock that you are subscribing for (including any exercise of your over-subscription right) by:

~~Your payment will be considered received by the subscription agent only upon:~~

Please note that funds paid by uncertified personal check may take at least five business days to clear. Accordingly, if you wish to pay by means of an uncertified personal check, we urge you to make payment sufficiently in advance of the expiration date to ensure that the subscription agent receives cleared funds before the expiration date. We also urge you to consider payment by means of a certified or cashier's check or money order.

If you do not indicate the number of subscription rights being exercised, or do not forward full payment of the total subscription price for the number of subscription rights that you indicate are being exercised, then you will be deemed to have exercised your basic subscription right with respect to the maximum number of rights that may be exercised with the aggregate subscription price payment you delivered to the subscription agent.

~~Your Funds Will be Held by the Subscription Agent Until Shares of Common Stock are Issued~~

The subscription agent will hold your payment of the subscription price payment in a segregated account with other payments received from other rights holders until we issue your shares to you. If this offering is not completed, or we do not apply your full subscription price payment to your purchase of shares of our common stock, the subscription agent will return promptly, without interest, all excess subscription payments.

Once you deliver your rights certificate and payment to the subscription agent, you cannot revoke the exercise of your subscription rights, even if the subscription period has not yet ended, we extend the expiration date, you learn information about us that you consider to be unfavorable or the market price of our common stock declines.

Stock certificates for shares purchased in this offering will be issued as soon as practicable after the expiration date. Our subscription agent will deliver subscription payments to us only after consummation of this offering and the issuance of stock certificates to our stockholders that exercised rights. Unless you instruct otherwise on your rights certificate, shares purchased by the exercise of subscription rights will be registered in the same name as the person exercising the rights.

If you wish to exercise your subscription rights, but you do not have sufficient time to deliver the rights certificate to the subscription agent on or before the expiration date, you may exercise your subscription rights by the following guaranteed delivery procedures:

Your Notice of Guaranteed Delivery must be delivered in substantially the form provided with the “Instructions as to Use of Rights Certificates” distributed to you with your rights certificate. Your Notice of Guaranteed Delivery must come from an Eligible Guarantor Institution, or other institutions which are members of, or participants in, a signature guarantee program acceptable to the subscription agent.

You may deliver your Notice of Guaranteed Delivery to the subscription agent in the same manner as your rights certificates at the address set forth above under “Delivery of Subscription Materials and Payment.” Alternatively, you may transmit your Notice of Guaranteed Delivery to the subscription agent by facsimile transmission to (469) 633-0088. To confirm facsimile deliveries, you may call (469) 633-0101.

We will decide all questions concerning the timeliness, validity, form and eligibility of your exercise of your subscription rights, and our determinations will be final and binding. We, in our sole discretion, may waive any defect or irregularity, or permit a defect or irregularity to be corrected within such time as we may determine. We may reject the exercise of any of your subscription rights because of any defect or irregularity. We will not accept any subscription until all irregularities have been waived by us or cured by you within such time as we may decide, in our sole discretion.

Neither we nor the subscription agent will be under any duty to notify you of any defect or irregularity in connection with your submission of rights certificates and we will not be liable for failure to notify you of any defect or irregularity. We reserve the right to reject your exercise of subscription rights if your exercise is not in accordance with the terms of this offering or in proper form. We will also not accept your exercise of rights if your ownership of shares of common stock could be deemed unlawful under applicable law or is materially burdensome to us.

If you are given notice of a defect in your subscription, you will have five business days after the giving of notice to correct it. You will not, however, be allowed to cure any defect after the expiration date of this offering. We will not consider an exercise to be made until all defects have been cured or waived.

If you are a broker, a trustee or a depositary for securities who holds shares of our common stock for the account of others at the close of business on the record date, you should notify the respective beneficial owners of such shares of this offering as soon as possible to find out their intentions with respect to exercising their subscription rights. You should obtain instructions from the beneficial owners with respect to the subscription rights, as set forth in the instructions we have provided to you for your distribution to beneficial owners. If the beneficial owner so instructs, you should complete the appropriate rights certificate and submit it to the subscription agent with the proper payment. If you hold shares of our common stock for the accounts of more than one beneficial owner, you may exercise the number of subscription rights to which all such beneficial owners in the aggregate otherwise would have been entitled had they been direct record holders of our common stock on the record date, provided that you, as a nominee record holder, make a proper showing to the subscription agent by submitting the form entitled “Nominee Holder Certification” which we provide to you with the offering materials.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock or will receive your subscription rights through a broker, custodian bank or other nominee, we will ask your broker, custodian bank or other nominee to notify you of this offering. If you wish to exercise your subscription rights, you will need to have your broker, custodian bank or other nominee act for you. If you hold certificates of our common stock directly and would prefer to have your broker, custodian bank or other nominee exercise your subscription rights, you should contact your nominee and request it to effect the transaction for you. To indicate your decision with respect to your subscription rights, you should complete and return to your broker, custodian bank or other nominee the form entitled “Beneficial Owner Election Form.” You should receive this form from your broker, custodian bank or other nominee with the other offering materials. If you wish to obtain a separate rights certificate, you should contact the nominee as soon as possible and request that a separate rights certificate be issued to you.

Upon the issuance of the shares of common stock offered in this offering, 14,227,980 shares of our common stock will be issued and outstanding. This would represent approximately a 25.1% increase in the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock.

We have appointed Securities Transfer Corporation as subscription agent and escrow agent for this offering. We will pay the fees and certain expenses of the subscription and escrow agent, which we estimate will total approximately $15,000. Under certain circumstances, we may indemnify the subscription and escrow agent from certain liabilities that may arise in connection with this offering.

Other than fees charged by the subscription agent, you are responsible for paying any other commissions, fees, taxes or other expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of the subscription rights. Neither we nor the subscription agent will pay such expenses.

We are not making this offering in any state or other jurisdiction in which it is unlawful to do so, nor are we selling or accepting any offers to purchase any shares of common stock from rights holders who are residents of those states or other jurisdictions. We may delay the commencement of this offering in those states or other jurisdictions, or change the terms of this offering, in order to comply with the securities law requirements of those states or other jurisdictions. We may decline to make modifications to the terms of this offering requested by those states or other jurisdictions, in which case, if you are a resident in those states or jurisdictions, you will not be eligible to participate in this offering.

We will not be required to issue to you shares of common stock pursuant to this offering if, in our opinion, you would be required to obtain prior clearance or approval from any state or federal regulatory authority to own or control such shares if, at the expiration date of the offering, you have not obtained such clearance or approval.

An investment in shares of our common stock must be made according to each investor’s evaluation of its own best interests. Accordingly, our board of directors makes no recommendation to rights holders regarding whether they should exercise their subscription rights.

If you have questions or need assistance concerning the procedure for exercising subscription rights, or if you would like additional copies of this prospectus, the “Instructions as to Use of Rights Certificates” or the “Notice of Guaranteed Delivery,” you should contact Timothy E. Mullany, our Chief Financial Officer, or the subscription agent at the following addresses and telephone numbers:

Our authorized capital stock consists solely of 26,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, ~~10,656,551~~14,282,558 shares of our common stock were outstanding. In addition, ~~1,903,840~~1,603,770 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance under our equity compensation plans. Our common stock is currently traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “RAVE.”

The following description of our common stock is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, the provisions of Missouri corporate law and other applicable state law.

Dividend, Liquidation and Other Rights. Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends that may be declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds. Our board of directors will determine if and when distributions may be paid. However, we have never paid dividends on our common stock and our board of directors intends to continue this policy for the foreseeable future in order to retain earnings for development of our business. The holders of shares of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights. All shares of our common stock to be outstanding following this offering will be duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to shareholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities.

Voting Rights.Each outstanding share of our common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters presented to our shareholders for a vote. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock constitute a quorum at any meeting of our shareholders. Assuming the presence of a quorum, directors are elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares represented in person or by proxy at the meeting. Our common stock does not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock can elect all of our directors. Amendments to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of our common stock. Assuming the presence of a quorum, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote and represented at the meeting in person or by proxy is required for the approval of substantially all other matters.

There are no provisions in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or our Amended and Restated Bylaws intended to prevent or restrict takeovers, mergers or acquisitions of our Company. However, certain provisions of Missouri corporate law could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers of our Company. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which our shareholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Missouri corporate law contains provisions governing “control share acquisitions.” These provisions generally provide that any person or entity crossing a 20%, 33.33% or 50% threshold in ownership of the outstanding voting shares of a publicly-held Missouri corporation will be denied voting rights with respect to any shares above the threshold, unless such voting rights are approved by the holders of a majority of all outstanding voting shares and a majority of the outstanding voting shares held by disinterested shareholders. The shareholders or board of directors of a Missouri corporation may elect to exempt its stock from the control share acquisition statute through adoption of a provision to that effect in the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation. However, neither our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation nor our Amended and Restated Bylaws exempt our common stock from the Missouri control share acquisition statute. Therefore, the statute could discourage persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of our Company, regardless of whether such acquisition was in the best interest of our shareholders.

Shares acquired directly from the corporation or upon conversion of debt securities are not considered in calculating the ownership thresholds of the Missouri control share provisions. Therefore, the exercise of rights to purchase our shares of common stock is not expected to implicate these control share provisions.

Missouri corporate law also contains provisions governing “business combinations” with interested shareholders, which may also have an effect of delaying or making it more difficult to effect a change in control of our Company. The statute prevents an “interested shareholder” in a Missouri corporation from entering into a “business combination” with such corporation or any subsidiary of such corporation unless certain conditions are met. An “interested shareholder” is defined as the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a Missouri corporation, or an affiliate or associate thereof. A “business combination” includes any merger or consolidation with an interested shareholder, the sale, lease exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of 10% or more of the corporation’s assets to an interested shareholder, and certain other issuances, adoptions and reclassifications involving an interested shareholder.

A corporation affected by these Missouri statutes may not engage in a business combination with an interested shareholder for a period of five years following the date on which such interested shareholder became an interested shareholder, unless such business combination or the purchase of stock was approved by the corporation’s board of directors on or prior to such date. If pre-approval was not obtained, then after the expiration of the five-year period the combination may be consummated with the approval of a majority of the voting power held by disinterested shareholders or if the consideration to be paid by the interested shareholder is at least equal to the highest of certain specified thresholds.

Missouri law also governs “takeover bids.” A “takeover bid” is the acquisition of or offer to acquire, pursuant to a tender offer or request or invitation for tenders, any equity securities with voting rights, if after acquisition the offeror would own more than 5% of any class of equity securities. An “equity security” is any stock, bond or other obligation of a target company, the holder of which has the right to vote for the board of directors of the target company.

The statute prohibits any takeover bid by a person or entity unless a special registration statement is filed with the commissioner of securities and delivered to the target company. The special registration statement must include a significant amount of information including, among other things, all informational material that the offeror proposes to disclose to the offerees, the identity and background of all persons and entities on whose behalf the acquisition is to be effected, the exact title and number of shares outstanding being sought by the offeror, and the source and amount of funds or other consideration to be used in the acquisition.

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws include indemnification provisions under which we have agreed to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permissible by law. These provisions may discourage derivative litigation against our directors and officers even if such action, if successful, might benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, our shareholders may be adversely affected to the extent we are required to pay the costs of defense, settlement or damages on behalf of our directors or officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Securities Transfer Corporation.

The following discussion is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of (i) the dividend by us of subscription rights to holders of common stock that hold such stock as a capital asset for federal income tax purposes, and (ii) the exercise of such rights. This discussion is based on laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in effect on the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) and to differing interpretations. This discussion applies only to holders that are U.S. persons, which is defined as a citizen or resident of the United States, a domestic partnership, a domestic corporation, any estate (other than a foreign estate), and any trust so long as a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust. Generally, for federal income tax purposes an estate is classified as a “foreign estate” based on the location of the estate assets, the country of the estate's domiciliary administration, and the nationality and residency of the domiciliary’s personal representative.

This discussion does not address all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to holders in light of their particular circumstances or to holders who may be subject to special tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including holders of options or warrants, holders who are dealers in securities or foreign currency, foreign persons (defined as all persons other than U.S. persons), insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, banks, financial institutions, broker-dealers, holders who hold common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion or other risk reduction transaction, or who acquired common stock pursuant to the exercise of compensatory stock options or warrants or otherwise as compensation.

We have not sought, and will not seek, an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the federal income tax consequences of the distribution of the rights or the related share issuance. The following summary does not address the tax consequences of the distribution of the rights or the related share issuance under foreign, state, or local tax laws. ACCORDINGLY, EACH HOLDER OF COMMON STOCK SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE RIGHTS OR THE RELATED SHARE ISSUANCE TO SUCH HOLDER.

~~The federal income tax consequences for a holder of common stock on the receipt of subscription rights and the exercise of such rights are as follows:~~

We ~~are offering the shares~~may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of ~~our common stock underlying the subscription rights directly to you. We have not employed~~ any ~~brokers, dealers~~ or underwriters in connection with the solicitation of exercise of subscription rights in this offering and no commissions, fees or discounts will be paid in connection with this offering. Securities Transfer Corporation is acting as our subscription agent to effect the exercise of the rights and the issuance of the underlying shares of common stock. Therefore, we anticipate that the role of our officers and employees in this offering will be limited to:

time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.

We ~~intend to distribute and deliver~~may use this prospectus ~~by hand or by mail only,~~ and ~~not by electronic delivery. Also, we intend~~any accompanying prospectus supplement to ~~use printed prospectuses only,~~offer and ~~not any other forms of prospectus.~~

We are distributing to the holders of record of our common stock on August 1, 2017, at no charge, one nontransferable subscription right for each share of our common stock they own on the record date. Each right entitles the holder to purchase 0.3351393 shares of common stock at the subscription price of $1.40 per share. You may exercise any number of your subscription rights, or you may choose not to exercise any subscription rights. We will not issue any fractional shares or pay cash in lieu of fractional shares, but will round down the aggregate number of shares you are entitled to purchase to the nearest whole number.

We do not expect that all of our shareholders will exercise all of their basic subscription rights. By extending over-subscription rights to our shareholders, we are providing shareholders that exercise all of their basic subscription rights the opportunity to purchase the shares that are not purchased by other shareholders.

If you wish to exercise your over-subscription right, you should indicate the number of additional shares that you would like to purchase in the space provided on your rights certificate. When you send in your rights certificate, you must also send the full purchase price for the number of additional shares that you have requested to purchase (in addition to the payment due for shares purchased through your basic subscription right). If the number of shares remaining after the exercise of all basic subscription rights is not sufficient to satisfy all requests for shares pursuant to over-subscription rights, then the available shares will be allocated proportionally (subject to eliminating fractional shares) among those who properly exercised over-subscription rights based on the amount of shares each rights holder subscribed for under the basic subscription right. However, if your pro-rata allocation exceeds the over-subscription amount specified in your rights certificate, then you will receive only the number of shares that you requested, and the remaining shares from your proportionate allocation will be divided among other rights holders exercising their over-subscription rights.

As soon as practicable after the expiration date, Securities Transfer Corporation, acting as our subscription agent, will determine the number of shares of common stock that you may purchase pursuant to the over- subscription right. If you request and pay for more shares than are allocated to you, we will refund the overpayment, without interest. In connection with the exercise of the over-subscription right, banks, brokers and other nominee holders of subscription rights who act on behalf of beneficial owners will be required to certify to us and to the subscription agent as to the aggregate number of subscription rights that have been exercised, and the number of shares of common stock that are being requested through the over-subscription right, by each beneficial owner on whose behalf the nominee holder is acting.

We will pay Securities Transfer Corporation, the subscription and escrow agent, a fee of approximately $15,000 plus expenses, for its services in connection with this offering. We also have agreed to indemnify the subscription and escrow agent under certain circumstances from any liability it may incur in connection with this offering.

~~We expect that~~sell shares of our common stock ~~issued upon~~in any of the ~~exercise~~following ways:

If underwriters are used to sell the securities, we will enter into an underwriting agreement or similar agreement with them at the time of ~~subscription rights~~the sale to them. In that event, underwriters may receive compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of the securities for whom they may act as agent.

To the extent required by applicable law, a prospectus supplement relating to any such offering of shares of our common stock will set forth:

The shares of our common stock may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more of such firms. Unless otherwise set forth in an applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of underwriters or dealers to purchase the shares will be ~~traded~~subject to certain conditions precedent and the underwriters or dealers will be obligated to purchase all the shares if any are purchased. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid by underwriters or dealers to other dealers may be changed from time to time.

The shares of our common stock may be sold directly by us or through agents designated by us from time to time. Any agent may make sales in privately negotiated transactions or by any other method permitted by law, including by an “at-the-market” offering through sales made directly on the Nasdaq Capital Market or through sales to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the shares in respect of which this prospectus and a prospectus supplement is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by us to such agent will be set forth, in any required prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

If so indicated in the prospectus supplement, we may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers from certain specified institutions to purchase securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. Such contracts will be subject to any conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement and the prospectus supplement will set forth the commissions payable for solicitation of such contracts. The underwriters and other persons soliciting such contracts will have no responsibility for the validity or performance of any such contracts.

Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled under agreements entered into with us to be indemnified by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the ~~symbol “RAVE,”~~Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribution by us to payments which they may be required to make. The terms and conditions of such indemnification will be described in an applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ~~same symbol under which our currently outstanding~~ordinary course of business.

Any underwriters to whom securities are sold by us for public offering and sale may make a market in such securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for any securities.

Certain persons participating in any offering of shares of our common stock ~~now trade.~~may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the shares offered. In connection with any such offering, the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, may purchase and sell securities in the open market. These transactions may include overallotment and stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the shares. Syndicate short positions involve the sale by the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase from us in the offering. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, whereby selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the shares sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if such shares are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the shares, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Capital Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. These activities will be described in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, shares of our common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states shares of our common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available.

The validity of the ~~securities~~shares of common stock offered hereby ~~and the description in this prospectus of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of this offering~~ will be passed upon for us by McGuire, Craddock & Strother, P.C., Dallas, Texas.

The following table sets forth the expenses expected to be incurred by registrant in connection with this registration statement. All items below are estimates, other than the registration fees payable to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Section 351.355(1) of the Missouri General and Business Corporation Law (“MGBCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Section 351.355(2) of MGBCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no person shall be indemnified as to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability and in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses that the court deems proper.

Section 351.355(3) of MGBCL provides that, except as otherwise provided in the corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsection (1) or (2) of Section 351.355 of MGBCL, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.

Section 351.355(5) of MGBCL provides that expenses incurred in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding as authorized by the board of directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

Section 351.355(7) of the MGBCL provides that a corporation may provide additional indemnification to any person indemnifiable under subsection (1) or (2) of Section 351.355 of the MGBCL, provided such additional indemnification is either (i) authorized, directed or provided for in the corporation’s articles of incorporation or an amendment thereof, or (ii) is authorized, directed or provided for in any bylaw or agreement of the corporation which has been adopted by a vote of the shareholders of the corporation, and provided further that no person shall thereby be indemnified against conduct that was finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct.

Article XI of registrant’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Article XI of registrant’s Amended and Restated Bylaws require that registrant indemnify the persons specified in subsection (1) or (2) of Section 351.355 of MGBCL to the full extent permitted thereby. Article XI of registrant’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation also permits the registrant to enter into agreements with any of its directors or officers, or any person serving at its request as a director or officer of another corporation, providing such indemnification as deemed appropriate to the extent permitted by law.

+ To be filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K in connection with a specific offering.

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs 1(i), 1(ii) and 1(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(8) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(9) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of The Colony, State of Texas, on the ~~7th~~27th day of ~~August,~~October, 2017.
