"Recorded in the March 20, 2025 ethics submission as one of the restaurants and related entities the owner will resign from and divest if confirmed. In addition to the brand itself, the owner says he will step down from an associated philanthropic entity (the Friends of the Future Foundation). The filing reiterates that he will forfeit promised severance, receive deferred compensation as a lump sum, maintain only a passive interest, and that he “will not provide services material to the production of income.”" - Courtney E.
