The Company determined that the services it provides under its licensing agreements are primarily the rights to access and derive benefit from our symbolic intellectual property. As a result, the initial license fees and upfront fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license agreement as a component of management, license and incentive fee revenue on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Sales-based royalties are recognized as licensee restaurant sales occur.

Proceeds from the sale of gift cards and gift certificates are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue when redeemed by the holder. There are no expiration dates on the Company’s gift card and gift certificates and the Company does not charge any service fees that would result in a decrease to a customer’s available balance. Although the Company will continue to honor all gift card and gift certificates presented for payment, it may determine the likelihood of redemption to be remote for certain gift cards and gift certificates due to, among other things, long periods of inactivity. In these circumstances, to the extent the Company determines there is no requirement for remitting balances to government agencies under unclaimed property laws, outstanding gift card and gift certificate balances may then be recognized as breakage in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income as a component of owned food, beverage and other net revenues.
