Leases [Abstract]
Leases	8. LeasesWe determine if a contract contains a lease at inception. Our material operating leases consist of restaurant locations and office space. Our leases generally have remaining terms of 1-20 years and most include options to extend the leases for additional 5-year periods. Generally, the lease term is the minimum of the noncancelable period of the lease or the lease term inclusive of reasonably certain renewal periods up to a term of 20 years. Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information related to leases are as follows: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020Cash paid for operating lease liabilities$ 90,096 $ 84,008 $ 268,038 $ 228,492Operating lease assets obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities$ 188,451 $ 129,387 $ 483,114 $ 368,466Derecognition of operating lease assets due to terminations or impairment$ 41 $ 1,777 $ 2,020 $ 16,194In April 2020, the FASB issued guidance allowing entities to make a policy election whether to account for lease concessions related to the COVID-19 pandemic as lease modifications. The election applies to any lessor-provided lease concession related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, provided the concession does not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or in the obligations of the lessee. In 2020 and 2021, we received non-substantial concessions from certain landlords in the form of rent deferrals and abatements related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have elected to not account for these rent concessions as lease modifications. The recognition of rent concessions did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2021.
