                             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                     dated as of December 8, 2000 between
                   AFC Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") and
                         Frank J. Belatti ("Employee")

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue the employment of Employee and to
enter into an Employment Agreement embodying the terms of such employment; and

     WHEREAS, Employee desires to accept such employment and to enter into such
agreement;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties
agree as follows:

     1.   Term of Agreement
          -----------------

     This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof and, unless
earlier terminated pursuant to Section 9 hereof, shall be for one initial term
of three (3) years (the "Term"). The Term of this Agreement and Employee's
employment hereunder will automatically be extended for an additional one-year
following the expiration of each year of employment hereunder (the "Renewal
Date"), without further action by Employee or the Company unless either the
Company or Employee gives to the other written notice not to renew for an
additional one year not less than one (1) year prior to the Renewal Date. In the
event the Company gives the Employee written notice of non-renewal as provided
herein, Employee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time
during the remaining term hereof and receive the benefits set forth in Section
8.03 hereof.

     2.   Employment
          ----------

          2.01 Position.  Employee shall serve as Chairman of the Board of
               --------
Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall perform such
duties consistent with his position as may be assigned to him from time to time
by  the Board of Directors of the Company.

          2.02 Time and Efforts. Employee, so long as he is employed
               ----------------
hereunder, shall devote his full business time and attention to the services
required of him hereunder, except as otherwise agreed and for vacation time and
reasonable periods of absence due to sickness or personal injury, and shall use
his best efforts, judgment and energy to perform, improve and advance the
business and interests of the Company in a manner consistent with the duties of
his position.

<PAGE>

     3.   Base Salary.
          ------------

          Beginning on the date hereof and continuing during the term hereof,
the Company shall pay Employee, in equal installments no less frequently than
monthly, a base salary at the rate of no less than Five Hundred Seventy-five
Thousand  Dollars ($575,000.00 U.S.) per annum (the "Base Salary").  The
Employee's Base Salary shall be reviewed by the Board of Directors of the
Company on an annual basis.

     4.   Incentive Pay.
          --------------

          4.01 Annual Plan. The Board of Directors of the Company, acting in its
               ------------

sole discretion, shall annually, at or prior to the beginning of each fiscal
year of the Company, approve an annual incentive plan (the "Annual Incentive
Plan") for the senior officers of the Company, including Employee, which Plan
shall contain such terms and provisions as the Board of Directors shall
determine.  Any amounts payable to Employee pursuant to the Annual Incentive
Plan is hereinafter referred to as "Incentive Pay".

          4.02 Target Incentive Pay. The target Incentive Pay ("Target Incentive
               ---------------------
Pay") for Employee for the fiscal year of the Company ending in 2000 shall be as
follows: $575,000.00

provided, however, that the Target Incentive Pay with respect to any fiscal year
is subject to, and may be modified by, the Annual Incentive Plan approved by the
Board of Directors pursuant to Section 4.01 above and this Section 4.02 shall be
read accordingly.  After 2000, the Target Incentive Pay for Employee will be set
by  the Board of Directors of the Company for each fiscal year and will be
included in the Annual Incentive Plan for such year.

          4.03 Payment of Incentive Pay. If Employee is entitled to payment of
               -------------------------
any Incentive Pay for any fiscal year, an accounting will be furnished and
payment will be made to Employee as set forth in the Annual Incentive Plan, but
in no event later than 105 days following the end of each fiscal year.

          4.04 Termination of Employment.  If Employee's employment hereunder
               --------------------------
shall terminate other than pursuant to Sections 8.03 or  8.04, the Employee
shall receive, at the time contemplated by the Annual Incentive Plan, such
Incentive Pay, if any, to which he would have been entitled under the terms of
the Annual Incentive Plan had Employee remained in the employ of the Company for
the entire fiscal year in which such termination occurs.  If Employee's
employment hereunder shall terminate pursuant to (a) Section 8.03, the
provisions of Section 8.03 shall determine the amount of Incentive Pay payable
to Employee; or (b) Section 8.04, no Incentive Pay shall be payable to Employee
after such termination.

          5.01 Stock Options.  The Company has heretofore granted to Employee
               --------------
certain nonqualified stock options to purchase shares of the Company's common
stock.  As part of the Company's compensation strategy, the Company intends to
grant additional stock options in the future based upon Employee's performance
as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company.

          5.02 Shareholders' Agreement.  The Employee has agreed to be bound
               ------------------------
by the terms of the shareholders' agreements (the "Shareholders' Agreements")
heretofore executed by Employee or identified in the stock option agreements
heretofore granted to Employee, copies of which are on file in the records of
the Company, which Shareholders' Agreements shall be applicable to all shares of

provide (or continue to provide) to Employee two (2) policies of life insurance,

Agreement, the Company will procure (or continue) and maintain on the life of
Employee life insurance protection in an amount not less than the face amount of

excess it shall promptly notify Employee and Employee may, at his option, elect
to pay the excess. If Employee fails to pay such excess or if for any other
reason the Company, after reasonable efforts, is not able to obtain the Life
Insurance Policies required herein for Employee, then Employee shall not be
entitled to any benefits whatsoever under this Section 6.02 except as may
otherwise be determined in the discretion of the Company and set forth in

rights and obligations of the Company and Employee with respect to each such
policy, including, but not limited to, (i) obligations of the Company and the

after the date hereof and shall maintain in full force and effect during the

under any disability benefit provided to Employee by the Company under its basic
employee health care benefit program, so that, subject to Section 6.07 below,
with respect to a disability as defined in the Supplemental Disability Policy
occurring after the Company has obtained the Supplemental Disability Policy, the
total monthly disability benefit (the "Disability Benefit") payable to Employee
under all disability policies maintained by the Company, after a maximum
elimination period of ninety (90) days, shall equal 70% of the sum of Employee's
Base Compensation and Incentive Pay for the year immediately preceding the year
in which the termination for Disability occurs.

               (b)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the
premiums for the Supplemental Disability Income Policy for Employee shall exceed
regular, non-rated premiums, the Company may, but shall have no obligation to,
fund such excess. In the event the Company determines not to fund such excess it
shall promptly notify Employee and Employee may, at his option, elect to pay the
excess. If Employee fails to pay such excess or if for any other reason the
Company, after reasonable efforts, is not able to obtain the Supplemental
Disability Income Policy required herein, then Employee shall not be entitled to

Benefit, but all or any portion of the proceeds under any such policy are not
actually received by the Company for any reason whatsoever, including without
limitation the insolvency of the insurer or any misrepresentation made by
Employee in the application for such insurance, then the right of Employee or
his designated beneficiary to receive a Disability Benefit or a Death Benefit,
as the case may be, shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount by which
the Disability Benefit or Death Benefit otherwise payable exceeds the insurance
proceeds actually received.

               (b)  Anything in Sections 6.01, 6.02, 6.03 and 6.04 to the
contrary notwithstanding, the amount of the benefits provided for herein are

          8.03 Termination for other than Death or Disability or for Cause.  If
               ------------------------------------------------------------
Employee's employment is terminated by the Company other than (i) by reason of

provide to Employee, in lieu of all other amounts payable hereunder or benefits
to be provided hereunder the following: (a) a payment equal to the sum of two
(2) times Employee's Base Salary at the time of termination; (b) a payment equal

Employee, at the election of the Company, either within thirty (30) days after
the date of Employee's termination of employment or, at the Company's election,
in fifty-two (52) equal installments, payable at the same time and on the same

     9.   Change of Control, Change in Responsibilities.

     Upon the occurrence of both of the following events:
                            ----

          (a)  The dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or a
reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company with one or more
corporations as a result of which the owners or all of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation
own in the aggregate, directly and indirectly, less than 50% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company or any other entity into which the Company
shall be merged or consolidated immediately following the consummation thereof,
or the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets or more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company in a single transaction or series of related transactions (a "Change in
Control"); and

          (b)  Within one (1) year of such Change in Control there is a
termination of employment without cause or a material diminution of or change in
Employee's responsibilities, duties or title,

Employee may elect, in writing, within ninety (90) days following the occurrence
of such events, to terminate this Agreement and his employment with the Company
will terminate, effective thirty (30) days after the Company's receipt of such
notice.  In such event Employee shall be deemed to have been terminated by the
Company other than for Cause and all amounts payable to Employee pursuant to
Section 8.03 shall become immediately due and payable.

     A Change in Control of the Company shall not be deemed to occur by reason
of any public offering of the Common Stock of the Company.

     Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, if the
aggregate of the payments provided for in this Agreement which result from
Employee's election to terminate his employment under this Section 9 and the
other payments and benefits which the Employee has the right to receive from the
Company as a result thereof (the "Total Payments") would constitute a "parachute
payment," as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"), the Employee shall receive, instead of the Total
Payments,  an increased amount (the "Gross Up Total") equal to the product of
(x) the Total Payments and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is 1 and the
denominator of which is 1 minus the maximum effective combined tax rate with
respect to all federal, state, and local income taxes payable by the Employee
under Code Section 4999 (the "Excise Taxes").  It is the intention of this
provision that the Gross Up

Total minus the Excise Taxes shall equal the Total Payments and this provision
shall be read and interpreted accordingly.

       Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, or in any other
agreement referred to in Section 5 hereof, no merger, reorganization,
recapitalization, sale of stock, sale of assets or other change in the capital
structure of the Company or in the identity of the legal or beneficial owners of
the Company shall affect the rights or obligations of the Company or Employee
hereunder.

Confidential Information.

             "Restricted Period" means the period commencing as of the date
hereof and ending on that date two years (2) year after the termination of
Employee's employment with the Company for any reason, whether voluntary or
involuntary.

             "Trade Secrets" means information which derives economic value,
actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily
ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value
from its disclosure or use, and is the subject of efforts that are reasonable
under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.

          10.02 Covenant Not-To-Disclose.  The Company and Employee recognize
                ------------------------
that, during the course of Employee's employment with the Company, the Company

further acknowledge that the Company has, and will, invest considerable amounts

by Employee, or (iii) Employee establishes that he received the Proprietary
Information independently and in good faith from a third party lawfully in
possession thereof and having no obligation to keep such information
confidential.

make any remarks disparaging the conduct or character of the Company or the

continuing to do any such act and any other violation or threatened violation of
said Sections 10.02 through and including 10.04 hereof.

deleted; provided, however, if subsections 10.02 through and including 10.04 of
this Section 10 shall be declared invalid, in whole or in part, Employee shall
execute, as soon as possible, a supplemental agreement with the Company,
granting the Company, to the extent legally possible, the protection afforded by
said subsections. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto
that the Company shall not be barred from enforcing the restrictive covenants
contained in each of subsections 10.02 through and including 10.04, as each are

suit, proceeding, claim or demand without Employee's approval so long as the
Company obtains for Employee's benefit a release of liability with respect to
such claim from the claimant and the Company assumes and agrees to pay any
amounts due with respect to such settlement. In no event shall the Company be
liable for any settlement entered into by the Employee without the Company's
prior written consent.

     11.03     Survival.  The provisions of this paragraph 12 shall survive the
               --------
termination of this Agreement for a period of four (4) years, unless Employee is
terminated for Cause, in which event the provisions of this Section 11 shall not
survive termination of this Agreement.

     12.  Dispute Resolution
          ------------------

          12.01     Agreement to Arbitrate. In consideration for his continued
                    ----------------------
employment with the Company, and other consideration, the sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, but subject to Section 6.07(b) above, Employee
acknowledges and agrees that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating
to Employees employment, termination of employment, or this Agreement including,
but not limited to, controversies and claims that are protected or covered by
any federal, state, or local statute, regulation or common law, shall be settled
by arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. This includes, but is
not limited to, violations or alleged violations of any federal or state statute
or common law (including, but not limited to, the laws of the United States or
of any state, or the Constitution of the United States or of any state), or of
any other law, statute, ordinance, including but not limited to, the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and any other
statute or common law. This provision shall not, however, preclude the Company
from seeking equitable relief as provided in Section 10.06 of this Agreement.

          12.02     Procedure. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance
                    ---------
with the Employment Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association: a
single arbitrator who is experienced in employment law shall be selected under
those Rules, and the arbitration shall be initiated in Atlanta, Georgia, unless
the parties agree in writing to a different location or the Arbitrator directs
the arbitration to be held at a different location. Except for filing fees, all
costs of the arbitrator shall be allocated by the arbitrator. The award rendered
by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and judgment
thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. In addition to
that provided for in the Employment Arbitration Rules, the arbitrator has sole
discretion to permit discovery consistent with the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure and the judicial interpretation of those rules upon request by any
party; provided, however, it is the intent of the parties that the arbitrator
limit the time and scope of any such discovery to the greatest extent
practicable and provide a decision as rapidly as possible given the
circumstances of the claims to be determined. The arbitrator also shall have the
power and authority to grant injunctive relief for any violation of Sections
10.02 through and including 10.04 and the arbitrator's order granting such
relief may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The agreement to
arbitrate any claim arising out of the employment relationship or termination of
employment shall not apply to those claims which cannot be made subject to this
provision by statute, regulation or common law. These include, but are not
limited to, any claims relating to work related injuries and claims for
unemployment benefits under applicable state laws.

     12.03     Rights of Parties. Nothing in this clause shall be construed to
               -----------------
prevent the Company from asking a court of competent jurisdiction to enter
appropriate equitable relief to enjoin any violation of this Agreement by
Employee. The Company shall have the right to seek such relief in connection
with or apart from the parties' rights under this clause to arbitrate all
disputes. With respect to disputes arising under this Agreement that are
submitted to a court rather than an arbitrator, including actions to compel
arbitration or for equitable relief in aid of arbitration, the parties agree
that venue and jurisdiction are proper in any state or federal court lying
within Atlanta, Georgia and specifically consent to the jurisdiction and venue
of such court for the purpose of any proceedings contemplated by this paragraph.
By entering into this Agreement the parties have waived any right which may
exist for a trial by jury and have expressly agreed to resolve any disputes
covered by this Agreement through the arbitration process described herein.

     12.04     Employee Benefit Plan Issues. With respect to any benefits
               ----------------------------
provided to Employee hereunder which may be subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (the "Covered
Plans"), and notwithstanding Section 6.07(b) above, the adjudication of any
claims under the Covered Plans shall be administered in accordance with the
terms and conditions of such Covered Plan. If the Covered Plan does not contain
a claims adjudication provision then, if for any reason, a claim for benefits
under a Covered Plan is denied by the Company, the Company shall deliver to the
Employee or his representative (the "claimant") a written explanation setting
forth the specific reasons for the denial, pertinent references to the Agreement
section or section of the Covered Plan on which the denial is based, such other
data as may be pertinent and information on the procedures to be followed by the
claimant in obtaining a review of his claim, all written in a manner calculated
to be understood by the claimant. For this purpose: (A)The claimant's claim
shall be deemed filed when presented orally or in writing to the individual at
the Company then performing the duties currently being performed by the
individual in charge of the People Services and Development Department (the
"Claims Manager"). (B) The Claims Manager's explanation shall be in writing
delivered to the claimant within 90 days of the date the claim is filed. The
claimant shall have 60 days following his receipt of the denial of the claim to
file with the Claim's Manager a written request for review of the denial. The
claimant or his representative may review pertinent documents related to this
Agreement and in the Claim's Manager's possession in order to prepare the
request for review. The Claims Manager shall decide the issue on review and
furnish the claimant with a copy of its decision within 60 days of receipt of
the claimant's request for review of his claim. The decision on review shall be
in writing and, if denied, shall include specific reasons for the decision,
written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, as well as
specific references to the pertinent provisions on which the decision is based.
If a copy of the decision is not so furnished to the claimant within such 60
days, the claim shall be deemed denied on review. Any payment to a claimant
shall to the extent thereof be in full satisfaction of all claims hereunder
against the Company and the Claims Manager,

either of whom may require such claimant, as a condition to such payment, to
execute a receipt and release therefor in such form as shall be determined by
the Company and the Claims Manager. If a receipt and release is required by the
claimant and the claimant does not provide such receipt and release in a timely
enough manner to permit a timely distribution in accordance with the general
timing of distribution provisions in this Agreement, the payment of any affected
distribution may be delayed until the Company and the Claims Manager receive a
proper receipt and release.

hereunder shall be assigned or delegated by any party hereto without the prior
written consent of the other party, except that the Company may without the
consent of Employee assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to any
successor to the business of the Company.  In the event of the assignment by the
Company of its rights and the delegation of its duties to a successor to the
business of the Company and the assumption of such rights and obligations by
such successor, the Company shall, effective upon such assumption, be relieved
from any and all obligations whatsoever to Employee hereunder.
