This is what the MSC's response was: the customer for the first round of Applebee's shops is only doing it one time this fall and then again next fall...700 locations that are divided across multiple franchises. Those were the ones that had menu requirements.
However, the largest Applebee's franchise group is having us do 2 to-go shops in December, and 3 in January, February, March. Those are a minimum of any entree, then anything else you want up to $25 reimbursement. So plenty of opportunities of the next few months to grab some of those. That franchise group has 474 locations and we'll shop all of them at that rate.

I received a "10" for my report. I asked if the shops would be ongoing or if they were a one time thing. I'll report back when they respond.
