INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 1 to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule
13E-3, first filed December 23, 2004 (this "Schedule 13E-3"), is being filed by:

Friedlander; (7) John C. Firth; and (8) William R. Schonsheck. The preceding
persons are collectively referred to herein as the "Filing Persons," and
individually as a "Filing Person."
This Schedule 13E-3 relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as
of November 9, 2004 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and between the QDI Merger
Corp. and the Company. If the Merger Agreement and Merger (as defined below) are
approved by the Quality Dining shareholders and the other conditions to the
closing of the Merger are satisfied or waived, QDI Merger Corp. will merge with
and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company continuing as the
surviving corporation.
In the Merger, the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, no
par value per share (the "Common Stock"), other than those shares held by QDI
Merger Corp. and Quality Dining, will be converted, without any action on the
part of the shareholders, into the right to receive $3.20 in cash per share.
Options will be treated as described more fully in the Proxy Statement (as
defined below). Any shares of the Common Stock held by the Company or QDI Merger
Corp. will be cancelled without payment being made therefor. Each share of QDI
Merger Corp. common stock outstanding will be converted into one share of
newly-issued Quality Dining common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
Concurrently with the filing of this Schedule 13E-3, the Company is filing
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to its
preliminary proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") under Regulation 14A of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), relating to
the special meeting of shareholders of the Company at which the shareholders of
the Company will consider and vote upon, among other things, a proposal to
approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger.
