Good Times Restaurants Inc., which owns Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar in Murfreesboro, has reached an agreement to resolve allegations that it violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Good Times is alleged to have denied service to a group of children who use wheelchairs and their parents who were in Murfreesboro to attend a youth wheelchair basketball tournament. Staff of Bad Daddy's reportedly refused to seat the group, claiming they were a fire hazard. As part of the settlement, Good Times has agreed to pay eight families a sum of $34,000 each, and a civil penalty of $80,000, for a total settlement payment of $352,000. In addition to monetary relief, Good Times agreed to adopt new ADA compliance measures, including new policies and compliance training for its employees.
