Text: The trial court held that Beaux's drastic change of image for the Klondike, from `family' style to rock, or country rock was additional evidence of his bad faith dealings with Pat. We disagree. Beaux, as owner, had every right to order changes in the Klondike's music to attract a larger clientele. See Kirchof v. Friedman, 10 Ariz. App. 220, 457 P.2d 760 (1969) (restaurant owner's decision to change the menu, advertising and entertainment was held to be a matter of policy making properly subject to the owner's control, not day-to-day management which was the domain of the manager. Therefore, the court denied the manager the right to recover for breach of two-year employment contract.) See also Annotation, Reduction in Rank or Authority or Change of Duties as Breach of Employment Contract, 63 A.L.R.3d 539 (1975). Therefore, Pat's discomfort with the new format, even if Beaux was aware of his reaction, is not legally sufficient to constitute evidence that Beaux acted in bad faith.
