Rent starts in August so it could be - but then we would waste the free
rent time now

Feb 18, 2016, 8:56 PM from Jared Leonard

I know... The numbers may not totally make sense, but I know by June
we'd have resources to do it.. Food for thought...
Feb 18, 2016, 8:58 PM to Jared Leonard

I was thinking if we partnered in general on the concept we could just

split costs on both as we went along
Feb 18, 2016, 8:59 PM to Jared Leonard

I feel like really basic awesome fried chicken chain could scale fast
Feb 18, 2016, 9:00 PM from Jared Leonard

I also might have a solution for buyout for you - intro lawyers
Aug 25, 2016, 5:21 PM from Jared Leonard

Ok - can you shoot me an idea of what you're thinking for buyout $$?
Aug 25, 2016, 5:24 PM to Jared Leonard

Not sure - just thought down payment then monthly payments and
royalties

Aug 25, 2016, 5:24 PM to Jared Leonard

Equity goes back to you

Do email intro
Aug 26, 2016, 10:44 AM to Jared Leonard

Why use the same lawyer from bunny? It's not going to help keep
smooth if he's already pissed.
Aug 26, 2016, 10:45 AM from Jared Leonard

it was just a referral... I Didn't know he knew you.. Came highly

recommended from a business colleague of mine.. It'll go smooth..
Aug 26, 2016, 10:46 AM to Jared Leonard

Yea - he's probably good but are you set on using him?
Aug 26, 2016, 10:46 AM to Jared Leonard

Better if a fresh start since he's bunny lawyer

Aug 26, 2016, 10:51 AM from Jared Leonard

He said he knows Mazen well and has good relationship.. I have a good
feeling about it.. I'm gonna keep it clean & simple, I'm not angry about
any of it - just trying to do what's right for the brand...

Aug 31, 2016, 4:23 PM to Jared Leonard

I'm trying to be reasonable but it seems you guys are not obeying our
operating agreement - how long do we wait?
Aug 31, 2016, 4:27 PM to Jared Leonard

agreement as partners until we see how we can sell if possible.

Is he advising you to behind my back take control of the company and

steal It from us? Sure feels so.
Sep 1, 2016, 3:04 PM from Jared Leonard

I Tried to call you back, I'm working... We'll try to connect later..

Sep 1, 2016, 3:07 PM to Jared Leonard

Jared - as biz partners I've never wronged you but you're wronging me
right now.
Sep 1, 2016, 3:10 PM from Jared Leonard

I'm protecting a brand I built long before you let me move into
Broadway. Don't ruin something I built / or take credit for it.. I stood up
for you guys for a long time, but I can't have my brand confused with
the issues at FF/bow truss.. Let me have my brand and we'll go on with
fixing our own stuff.. Time for a call?
Sep 1, 2016, 3:11 PM to Jared Leonard

You can't just take it this is the real world with laws and rules
Sep 1, 2016, 3:11 PM to Jared Leonard

Step one
Sep 1, 2016, 3:11 PM from Jared Leonard

So let's be fair and realistic about what you put in to Budlong..

Sep 1, 2016, 3:11 PM to Jared Leonard

Okay the cash spent on the initial one 350k

Sep 1, 2016, 3:13 PM from Jared Leonard

me..
Sep 1, 2016, 3:14 PM from Jared Leonard

I can move into a lot of built out spaces , I'm talking about my branding,
my creation.. Just be fair man.. That's all I ask.
Sep 1, 2016, 3:14 PM to Jared Leonard

Sep 1, 2016, 3:14 PM to Jared Leonard

I'm trying to see if it makes sense don't steal it from us

Sep 1, 2016, 5:10 PM to Jared Leonard

We introduced you to revival we reached out to get initially FYI - you're

dissing me and I've been good to budlong and you

Sep 1, 2016, 5:18 PM to Jared Leonard

Sep 1, 2016, 5:23 PM from Jared Leonard

Sep 1, 2016, 5:26 PM from Jared Leonard

Revival was my idea, my hard work built this brand. The whole thing
from creative to implementation to our investor came from me. Revival
wanted to dump us after crains article. They Made me promise you
wouldn't be involved. Our entire restaurant quit after the crains article.
My brand would have died that day, but I worked 16-18 hours/day the
past 3 months keeping it alive and growing it ..

Sep 1, 2016, 5:27 PM to Jared Leonard

Regardless we are partners and you can't just change your mind
Sep 1, 2016, 5:28 PM to Jared Leonard

I'm sorry you're upset you still know the rules

Sep 1, 2016, 5:29 PM from Jared Leonard

I didn't just change my mind. None of the commitments from the OA

ever happened on your side. (Payroll, taxes, licensing done right, patio
permits). Aside from all of that, the fact that people are now
boycotting our product because of the affiliation with you was the final
straw. I don't deserve bad press because of stuff you're being accused
of.
Sep 2, 2016, 2:37 PM to Jared Leonard

Giving landlords ultimatums that you will not pay rent unless the lease
is in your name? Jared you're being so nasty. What's this side of you?
Sep 2, 2016, 2:40 PM from Jared Leonard

Not sure what you're talking about.

Sep 2, 2016, 2:40 PM to Jared Leonard

Well two landlords called me

Sep 2, 2016, 2:40 PM to Jared Leonard

So are they both lying?

Sep 2, 2016, 2:40 PM to Jared Leonard

Also - the bank?

Sep 2, 2016, 2:41 PM to Jared Leonard

When do you obey the OA?

Sep 2, 2016, 2:41 PM to Jared Leonard

We are partners you have a fiduciary duty in OA and I need bank and
POS info ASAP
Sep 2, 2016, 2:42 PM to Jared Leonard

I hate to get legal but you're not working w us

Sep 2, 2016, 5:39 PM to Jared Leonard

Be added to lease sure

Sep 2, 2016, 5:39 PM to Jared Leonard

Removing not so much

Sep 12, 2016, 9:32 AM to Jared Leonard

You made me loose all the abatement on Armitage claiming budlong

would take
Sep 27, 2016, 1:53 PM to Jared Leonard

And you're a man of faith

Sep 27, 2016, 3:16 PM to Jared Leonard

That was a jerk move man I don't deserve that

Sep 29, 2016, 11:11 PM to Jared Leonard

You can't imagine what you just Fucking did blocking a major loan
Sep 29, 2016, 11:11 PM to Jared Leonard
