         This Amendment No. 3 ("Amendment No. 3) amends the Schedule 13D (as
amended, the "Schedule 13D") filed by the Reporting Persons on February 7, 1997,
as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto ("Amendment No. 1") filed by the Reporting
Persons on March 24, 1997, and Amendment No. 2 thereto ("Amendment No. 2") filed
by the Reporting Persons on May 16, 1997, and is being filed pursuant to Rule
13d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act to reflect a material acquisition of
beneficial ownership of the Common Stock as well as to amend Item 4 as set forth
below. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

         Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by deleting the first two
paragraphs and replacing them with the following:

         The total amount of funds required by PVF to purchase the Shares it
owns directly was $4,802,358.10 and was furnished from (i) a loan from UCC in
the amount of $1,801,000, as evidenced by a promissory note, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated herein by reference, (ii) a
loan from UCC in the amount of $280,000, as evidenced by a promissory note, a
copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 13 and is incorporated herein by
reference, (iii) a loan from UCC in the amount of $105,000, as evidenced by a
promissory note, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 14 and is
incorporated herein by reference, (iv) a loan from UCC in the amount of

as Exhibit 16, and (v) margin loans from Prudential Securities Incorporated
("Prudential") and Lehman Brothers Inc. ("Lehman"), made by Prudential and
Lehman in the ordinary course of their respective businesses. Copies of the
Margin Agreements between PVF and each of Prudential and Lehman are attached
hereto as Exhibits 3 and 17, respectively, and are incorporated herein by
reference.

         The total amount of funds required by UCC to purchase the Shares it
owns directly was $2,069,083.73 and was furnished from margin loans from
Prudential and Lehman, made by Prudential and Lehman in the ordinary course of
their respective businesses. Copies of the Margin Agreements between UCC and
each of Prudential and Lehman are attached hereto as Exhibits 4(a) and 4(b)
respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.


                                       9

         Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by inserting the following
between the first and second paragraphs:

         On June 9, 1997, PVF, on behalf of the Reporting Persons, delivered a
letter to the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") (i) informing the Board
that the Reporting Persons plan to acquire more of the Common Stock, with the
present intention of having beneficial ownership of over 10% of the Company's
issued and outstanding Common Stock prior to August 8, 1997, the record date for
the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders; and (ii) requesting the Board's
prior approval, for the purposes of Chapter 1704 of the Ohio Revised Code (the
"ORC"), of such an acquisition of Common Stock, in order to permit the Company
to engage in "Chapter 1704. transactions," as defined under Section 1704.01(B)
of the ORC, with the Reporting Persons.

         Chapter 1704. transactions are defined under the ORC to include, under
specified circumstances, mergers or majority share acquisitions, the purchase of
assets, the issuance or transfer of shares of the corporation, and various other
types of transactions. Section 1704.02 of the ORC provides that an issuing
public corporation may not engage in a Chapter 1704. transaction with an
"interested shareholder," defined as a person having beneficial ownership of ten
percent or more of an issuing public corporation's issued and outstanding shares
of voting stock, for a period of three years from the date that person first
becomes an interested shareholder of the corporation (the "share acquisition
date"), unless the directors of the corporation have approved the share
acquisition or the Chapter 1704. transaction in advance of the share acquisition
date.

         While the Reporting Persons do not presently anticipate that they will
seek to engage in such transactions with the Company in the near future, they
have asked that the Board approve their planned acquisition of over ten percent
of the Common Stock, so that they may not be foreclosed from doing so if
circumstances arise which make their engaging in any such transactions
desirable.


Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         (a) Item 5(a) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended in its entirety to
read as follows:

         The Reporting Persons beneficially own an aggregate of 618,295 Shares.
Based on information contained in the Company's


                                       10
<PAGE>


Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on April 22, 1997, the Shares held by the Reporting Persons represent
approximately 8.6% of the outstanding Shares.

         PVF beneficially owns 370,151 Shares, representing approximately 5.2%
of the outstanding Shares. UCC beneficially owns 147,012 Shares, representing
approximately 2.1% of the outstanding Shares. DBN beneficially owns 15,704
Shares, representing approximately 0.2% of the outstanding Shares. Nazarian
directly owns 46,324 Shares, representing approximately 0.6% of the outstanding
Shares. Salimpour beneficially owns 22,360 Shares, representing approximately
0.3% of the outstanding Shares. Kadisha beneficially owns 14,144 Shares,
representing approximately 0.2% of the outstanding Shares. Nippon PSP
beneficially owns 2,600 Shares, representing approximately 0.04% of the
outstanding Shares.

         By reason of the control Nazarian exercises with respect to the
investments of PVF, UCC and DBN, as described in Item 6, Nazarian may be deemed
under Rule 13d-3 ("Rule 13d-3") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act") to own beneficially all of the Shares owned by PVF, UCC and DBN.
By reason of a limited power of attorney executed by Salimpour giving Nazarian
certain powers as described in Item 6, Nazarian may be deemed under Rule 13d-3
to own beneficially all of the Shares which Salimpour beneficially owns. Thus,
Nazarian may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of 601,551 Shares,
representing approximately 8.4% of the outstanding Shares.

         (c) Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the listing
of all transactions in the Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons from
May 16, 1997, the date of filing of Amendment No. 2, through June 6, 1997. Such
listing is set forth on the attached Exhibit 20, which is incorporated herein by
reference. All transactions listed were made through brokers in open market
transactions effected on the American Stock Exchange.

Item 7.  Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

         Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following
exhibit:

Exhibit 20     Schedule of  transactions  in the Common  Stock by the 
               Reporting  Persons  from May 16, 1997 through June 6, 1997.
