Litigation

On June 2, 2015, two of our former employees (the “plaintiffs”) filed a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) and putative class action under New York state law against us in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York. The claim alleges that we have a policy or procedure requiring employees who receive compensation in part through tip credits to perform work that is ineligible for tip credit compensation at a tip credit rate in violation of the FLSA and New York state law. On September 27, 2016, the plaintiffs amended their complaint to include putative class action claims under the laws of seven additional states: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. We intend to vigorously defend this lawsuit. We believe there is a reasonable possibility of loss related to these claims, however, given the early stage of the case, we are currently unable to determine the potential range of exposure, if any.

In addition to the litigation described above, we are involved in various other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these other matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
