Leases [Abstract] |
Leases | Leases At December 29, 2012 we operated nearly 7,600 restaurants, leasing the underlying land and/or building in nearly 6,700 of those restaurants with the vast majority of our commitments expiring within 20 years from the inception of the lease. Our longest lease expires in 2151. We also lease office space for headquarters and support functions, as well as certain office and restaurant equipment. We do not consider any of these individual leases material to our operations. Most leases require us to pay related executory costs, which include property taxes, maintenance and insurance. Future minimum commitments and amounts to be received as lessor or sublessor under non-cancelable leases are set forth below:
