Throughout the day, TSFR’s owned and operated 66 Applebee’s, 25 Olga’s Kitchen, four Del Taco and five MOD Pizza restaurants donated 10 percent of all guests’ food sales to JDRF, a leading global organization exclusively focused on ending Type 1 Diabetes, which is an autoimmune disease impacting 1.25 million Americans.
