The National Franchise Mediation Program is specifically designed to handle disputes between franchisors and franchisees in a fair and neutral manner. This would be the most appropriate organization to handle this type of dispute. The other options, such as Wendy's CEO and Wendy's corporate lawyers, may have a bias towards the franchisor and may not be as impartial in the decision-making process. The court system is also an option, but it can be a lengthy and expensive process, and it may not have as much expertise in franchise law.
