Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements As of June 13, 2015 the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair values of notes receivable net of allowances and lease guarantees less subsequent amortization approximates their carrying values. The Company’s debt obligations, excluding capital leases, were estimated to have a fair value of $3.4 billion (Level 2), compared to their carrying value of $3.2 billion. We estimated the fair value of debt using market quotes and calculations based on market rates. The Company has interest rate swaps accounted for as fair value hedges, foreign currency forwards accounted for as cash flow hedges and other investments, all of which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Interest rate swaps are used to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk and lower interest expense for a portion of our fixed-rate debt, and foreign currency forwards are used to reduce our exposure to cash flow volatility arising from foreign currency fluctuations associated with certain foreign currency denominated intercompany short-term receivables and payables. The fair values of these swaps, forwards and other investments were not material as of June 13, 2015. The Company's long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis if determined to be impaired. During the quarter and year to date ended June 13, 2015, we recorded restaurant-level impairment (Level 3) of $17 million and $18 million, respectively. During the quarter and year to date ended June 14, 2014, we recorded restaurant-level impairment (Level 3) of $14 million and $15 million, respectively. The remaining net book value of the assets measured at fair value as of June 13, 2015, subsequent to these impairments, was not significant. In addition, during the quarter ended June 13, 2015, we initiated plans to sell real estate within our Mexico business and determined it was held for sale. See Note 4.
