Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Going Concern [Policy Text Block]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION - Going Concern
 
The Company has incurred cumulative losses totaling $(6,358,147) a working capital deficit of $(129,971) and a net income of $200,607 at December 31, 2013. Because of these conditions, the Company will require additional working capital to develop business operations. The Company intends to raise additional working capital through the continued licensing of the brand with its current and new operators. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve the level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to support the Company’s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any future use of licensing, are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available, the Company may not increase its operations.
 
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Principles of consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Inter-company items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Cash and cash equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments, with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. There are times when cash may exceed $250,000, the FDIC insured limit.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying value of cash, trade receivables, prepaid expenses, other receivables, related party payable and accrued expenses, if applicable, approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of debt were also estimated to approximate fair value.
 
The Company utilizes the methods of fair value measurement as described in ASC 820 to value its financial assets and liabilities. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:
 
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
 
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
  
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
Licensee Receivable And Reserves [Policy Text Block]
Trade receivables and reserves
 
Accounts deemed uncollectible are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts had a balance of $-0- and $-0- for the December 31, 2013 and 2012 periods. In reviewing any delinquent royalty or note receivable, the Company considers many factors in estimating its reserve, including historical data, experience, customer types, credit worthiness, financial distress and economic trends. From time to time, the Company may adjust its assumptions for anticipated changes in any of above or other factors expected to affect collectability.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]
Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for the plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation. The standard requires entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options based on the grant-date fair value of the award, and to recognize the cost over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award.
 
There were no stock options or warrants issued during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, hence the Company has recorded no compensation expense. If the Company were to issue equity rights for compensation, then the Company would recognize compensation expense under Topic 718 over the requisite service period using the Black-Scholes model for equity rights granted.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Revenue recognition
 
The Company records revenues earned as royalties under its license agreements as they are earned over the term of the license agreements. The terms of the royalties earned under these license agreements vary from a flat monthly fee to a percentage of the revenues of the licensee on a monthly basis. If a license agreement is terminated then the remaining unearned balance of the deferred revenues are recorded as earned if applicable.
 
Revenues earned under its royalty agreements are recorded as they are earned.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10-25, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
 
The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $6,100,000, which expire in the years 2018 through 2034. The related deferred tax asset of approximately $2,690,000 has been offset by a valuation allowance. The Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may have been limited, pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code Section 382, as to the utilization of such net operating loss carryforwards due to changes in ownership of the Company over the years.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Income per Share
Under ASC 260-10-45, “Earnings Per Share”, basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares assumed to be outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Accordingly, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, is the same for purposes of computing both basic and diluted net income per share for such years.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
The Company is charged a monthly fee for operating expenses and overhead as a result of the use of a shared facility and employees of an affiliate.
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
The Company earns predominately royalty revenues and to a lesser extent merchandise sales from 9 licensees.
 
With regards to 2013, concentrations of sales from 5 licensees range from 16% to 21%, which there are receivables from the 3 licensees ranging from 13% to 51% on these licensees for 2013. Included in these amounts for 2013 is 1 licensee considered a related party. Sales from this licensee are 21%.
 
With regards to 2012, concentrations of sales from 5 licensees range from 14% to 29%, which there are receivables from the 5 licensees ranging from 14% to 32% on these licensees for 2012. Included in these amounts for 2012 is 1 licensee considered a related party. Sales from this licensee are 29%. There are receivables from 1 related party licensee of 18%.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2013-11 on “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”.  The amendments in this ASU are to improve the current U.S. GAAP because they are expected to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist.  Current U.S. GAAP does not include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This Update applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013.  Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted.
  
All other new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective or adopted have been deemed not to be relevant to us, hence are not expected to have any impact once adopted.
