SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

         Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires
the Company's directors and executive officers and persons who own more than 10%
of a registered class of the Company's equity securities to file various reports
with the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning their holdings of, and
transactions in, securities of the Company. Copies of these filings are required
to be furnished to the Company.

         During the year ended December 31, 2000, The Jacmar Companies failed
to file on a timely basis its initial report on Form 3, but the required
report was subsequently filed. In addition, The Jacmar Companies reported two
transactions late by filing a Form 5.

         To the Company's knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies
of such forms furnished to the Company and written representations from the
Company's executive officers and directors, the Company believes all other
filings required to be made by executive officers, directors and greater than
10% beneficial owners of the Company under Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 were made on a timely basis.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

         The Company entered into identical revised six-year term employment
agreements with Paul Motenko and Jeremiah J. Hennessy (sometimes referred to
herein as the "Executives"), effective as of January 1, 2001. Pursuant to such
agreements, Messrs. Motenko and Hennessy are each to receive annual cash
compensation of $225,000, subject to escalation annually in accordance with the
Consumer Price Index (the "CPI"). In addition, Messrs. Motenko and Hennessy's
employment agreements entitle each of them to receive two annual bonuses based
on


                                       7


the Company's financial performance, one for attainment of specified earnings
before interest, amortization, depreciation and income taxes ("EBITDA"), and one
for attainment of specified pre-tax income.

         The EBITDA bonus would entitle Messrs. Motenko and Hennessy each to
receive the following amounts if the following EBITDA amounts are attained for
each fiscal year during the term of their respective employment agreements:




                       EBITDA        CUMULATIVE CASH BONUS
                       ------        ---------------------
                                  
                     $2,000,000                   $ 25,000
                     $3,000,000                   $ 35,000
                     $6,000,000                   $ 80,000
                     $9,000,000                   $150,000


         For the year ended December 31, 2000, Messrs. Motenko, Hennessy and
Klinger earned a cash bonus of $35,000 based on the Company's EBITDA for the
fiscal year of approximately $3,018,000.

         The pre-tax income bonus would entitle each of Messrs. Motenko and
Hennessy to receive the following amounts if the following pre-tax income
amounts (as determined by the Company's independent public accountants in
accordance with GAAP) are attained for each fiscal year during the term of their
respective employment agreements, commencing with the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2001.




                       PRE-TAX
                        INCOME                       CUMULATIVE CASH BONUS
                        ------                       ---------------------
                                                  
                     $ 4,147,200                           $ 25,000
                     $ 8,294,400                           $ 75,000
                     $16,588,800                           $150,000


         For the year ended December 31, 2000, none of the Executives earned a
pre-tax income bonus.

         The pre-tax income levels required to receive each bonus level for each
fiscal year following the 2001 fiscal year are increased by 20% per year.


         Pursuant to their respective employment agreements, Messrs. Motenko and
Hennessy are each entitled to certain other fringe benefits including use of a
Company automobile or automobile allowance, life insurance coverage, disability
insurance, family health insurance and the right to participate in the Company's
customary executive benefit plans.

         Messrs. Motenko and Hennessy's employment agreements further provide
that in the event they terminate their employment with the Company for "Good
Reason" (as hereinafter defined) or they are terminated based on their
disability, each of them is entitled, on two


                                       8


occasions and subject to certain conditions, to demand that the Company prepare
and file a registration statement with the SEC for purposes of registering under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable Blue Sky authorities, the
shares of Common Stock held by him or issuable to him upon the exercise of
outstanding options.

         Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event (as hereinafter defined),
the Company may terminate the employment agreements. If such termination occurs,
Mr. Motenko or Mr. Hennessy, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive all
amounts payable by the Company under his respective employment agreement to the
date of termination. If the Company terminates the employment agreement for a
reason other than the occurrence of a Termination Event or if Mr. Motenko or Mr.
Hennessy terminates the employment agreement because of a breach by the Company
of its obligations thereunder or for Good Reason (as hereinafter defined), Mr.
Motenko or Mr. Hennessy, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive any and
all payments and benefits which would have been due to him by the Company up to
and including December 31, 2006 or any extension thereof had his employment not
terminated.

         "Termination Event" means any of the following: (i) the willful and
continued failure by the Executive to substantially perform his duties under the
Employment Agreement (other than any such failure resulting from the Executive's
incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after demand for substantial
performance is delivered by the Company specifically identifying the manner in
which the Company believes the Executive has not substantially performed his
duties; (ii) the Executive being convicted of a crime constituting a felony;
(iii) the Executive intentionally committing acts or failing to act, either of
which involves willful malfeasance with the intent to maliciously harm the
business of the Company; (iv) the Executive's willful violation of the
confidentiality provisions under the Employment Agreement; or (v) death or
physical or mental disability which results in the inability of the Executive to
perform the required services for an aggregate of 180 calendar days during any
period of 12 consecutive months. No act, or failure to act, on the Executive's
part shall be considered "willful" unless intentionally done, or intentionally
omitted to be done, by him not in good faith and without reasonable belief that
his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a Termination Event shall not have been deemed to have occurred
unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a
resolution, duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of
the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for
such purpose (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for
him, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that, in
the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive conducted, or failed to
conduct, himself in a manner set forth above in clauses (i)-(iv), and specifying
the particulars thereof in detail.

         For purposes of the Employment Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean (i)
any removal of the Executive from, or any failure to re-elect the Executive to
his current office except in connection with termination of the Executive's
employment for disability; provided, however, that any removal of the Executive
from, or any failure to re-elect the Executive to his current office (except in
connection with termination of the Executive's employment for disability) shall
not diminish or reduce the obligations of the Company to the Executive under the
employment agreement; (ii) a reduction of ten percent (10%) or more in the
Executive's then current base


                                       9


salary; (iii) any failure by the Company to comply with any of its obligations
to the Executive under the employment agreement; (iv) for any reason within 120
days following a Change of Control (as defined in the employment agreement); or
(v) the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of the employment
agreement by any successor to the Company, as provided in the employment
agreement.

On December 26, 2000, the Company's former President, Ernest T. Klinger,
voluntarily terminated his employment agreement with the Company under the
provision giving him the right to terminate upon a change in control of the
Company. Under the employment agreement, he has certain rights to receive
compensation equal to the amount of compensation to which he would have been
entitled under his agreement for its term. The Company has recorded an accrual
at December 31, 2000 for amounts due under the employment agreement.

         As of December 31, 2000, the Company's largest supplier of product and
paper goods, The Jacmar Companies, and their affiliates (collectively referred
to herein as "Jacmar") owned approximately 15.5% of the Company's outstanding
common stock. On December 20, 2000, Jacmar agreed to purchase 2,206,500 shares
from ASSI, Inc. (a shareholder of the Company), in a transaction that closed on
January 18, 2001. In addition, Jacmar agreed to purchase 661,358 shares of
Common Stock from Messrs. Motenko and Hennessy, the Company's Co-Chief Executive
Officer's, in a transaction that closed on March 13, 2001. These stock purchases
resulted in an increase in the percentage ownership of Jacmar and their
affiliates to approximately 53.0% of the outstanding Common Stock of the
Company. The Company agreed to grant registration rights to Jacmar on the shares
purchased from ASSI, Inc. and Jacmar agreed to assist the Company in obtaining
additional financing for new restaurant projects.

         In connection with the sale of shares by ASSI, Inc. to Jacmar in
December 2000, the Company agreed to issue an option to ASSI, Inc. in exchange
for a release of any claims of ASSI, Inc., including any rights it might have
had to purchase additional shares from the Company under an agreement that was
pending immediately prior to the Jacmar transaction. The option is exercisable
for 200,000 shares at an exercise price of $4.00 per share, and expires on
December 31, 2005.

         On February 22, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to sell an
aggregate of 800,000 shares of common stock to Jacmar at $2.50 per share. This
transaction is scheduled to close on April 30, 2001 and Jacmar will then own
57.4% of the Company's outstanding stock. In addition, the Company has agreed to
sell Jacmar up to an additional 3.2 million shares at $2.50 on or before August
15, 2001. The exact number of shares to be purchased and the date of purchase
are to be determined by Jacmar, provided that the Company's obligation to sell
the shares to Jacmar expires on August 15, 2001. This agreement was approved by
an independent committee of the Board of Directors. The sale of the up to 3.2
million shares to Jacmar is subject to a shareholder vote and the receipt of a
favorable fairness opinion. The Company agreed to grant registration rights on
the shares purchased by Jacmar under this agreement.

         The Company has approximately 8 million warrants outstanding, which,
before the sale of additional shares to Jacmar, have an exercise price of $5.50
per share. The sale of the 800,000 shares of common stock to Jacmar in April
2001 triggerred the anti-dilution provision of the warrant agreement, resulting
in an adjustment of the exercise price of the warrants to $5.35 per share. If
the entire 3.2 million additional shares are purchased by Jacmar pursuant to the
agreement, the warrant exercise price would be adjusted to $4.89 per share.
