WORLDWIDE RESTAURANT CONCEPTS, INC. ANNOUNCES

JOINT VENTURE WITH THE MINOR GROUP

SHERMAN OAKS, Calif. — November 19, 2004 — Worldwide Restaurant Concepts, Inc. (NYSE: SZ) announced that it has entered into a joint venture agreement with the Minor Food Group Pcl, a subsidiary of Royal Garden Resorts Pcl, to develop franchise opportunities for Sizzler restaurants in China. Two franchised restaurants are expected to be operating in the country within the next twelve months. “With China continuing as a burgeoning economic powerhouse, Sizzler’s development in this country is a natural and logical extension of the presence we already have in the Pacific Rim with franchised restaurants in Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan,” said Chuck Boppell, CEO of Worldwide Restaurant Concepts. “The joint venture agreement allows for the franchising of Sizzlers throughout China. Accordingly, the joint venture has executed a multi-unit franchise agreement with Beijing LeJazz Food & Beverage Co. Ltd. to develop up to ten Sizzler restaurants in Beijing over the next five years,” concluded Mr. Boppell.

“We are excited to be able to partner with a well established and recognized business leader in the rapidly growing Asian market. For Sizzler, we feel this is a significant step in our on-going international expansion,” said Mr. Boppell. Royal Garden Resorts Pcl is a leading Asia-Pacific hospitality and food service operator and its subsidiary, The Minor Food Group, is Thailand’s largest food service operator with over 456 outlets system wide under many well recognized brand names including Sizzler.
