DALLAS — After testing gluten-free rolls and brownies in a Dallas market, Subway is expected to slowly expand the product trial further, according to QSR.com.

WASHINGTON — The owners at Rogue24, a Washington-based restaurant, have introduced a two-page reservation agreement that critics are calling a contract.

“[These policies] are not to be arrogant or mean, we’re really just trying to [provide] a great experience for everyone who comes,” RJ Cooper, the owner and chef of the restaurant, is quoted as saying in the Globe and Mail about the form that asks for party size, customer allergies and preferences.

DUBLIN, Ohio — Wendy’s Co., which operates 4,609 units in the U.S., has filed a lawsuit, charging trademark infringement and breach of contract, against its largest franchise group, Courtland, N.Y.-based WendPartners Franchise Group, which owns or controls 329 Wendy’s units in 20 states.

The suit charges that the Group has failed to install the specialized equipment required to prepare the brand’s new Dave’s Hot ’n Juicy cheeseburger. Wendy’s argues that going to market with the new burgers missing from a significant portion of its system undermines the proposed Oct. 3 rollout. The Dublin, Ohio-based chain is seeking a declaratory judgment that would compel the franchisees to install the equipment.
