Note 13 – Segment reporting
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who began serving as the Company’s CEO on October 30, 2017 and has been deemed the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, manages the business and allocates resources via a combination of restaurant sales reports and segment profit information (which is defined as revenues less operating expenses) related to the Company’s three sources of revenue, which are presented in their entirety within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We have revised our segments to align with how our CEO manages the business.
