Line of Credit Facility [Abstract]
Credit Agreement	Note 3 - Senior Credit Facility: During the period of October 24, 2011 through February 19, 2016, the Company was party to a senior credit facility (the “2011 Senior Credit Facility”), which provided for borrowings up to $400 million (with a sublimit of $30 million for swingline loans) as of December 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014. The 2011 Senior Credit Facility was unsecured and would have matured on October 24, 2016. On February 19, 2016, the Company replaced the 2011 Senior Credit Facility by entering into a new senior credit facility (the “2016 Senior Credit Facility”) consisting of a $200 million term loan and a $500 million revolving credit facility (with a sublimit of $50 million for swingline loans). This agreement is unsecured and matures in February 2021, with proceeds available to be used for working capital, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, and other matters. As a result of the maturity date in the new agreement, the Company has presented any outstanding borrowings under the 2011 Senior Credit Facility as of December 26, 2015 as a non-current liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheet in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. 2011 Senior Credit Facility At December 26, 2015 there were $150.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the 2011 Senior Credit Facility and no outstanding borrowings at December 27, 2014. There were $48.7 million and $40.7 million outstanding letters of credit under the 2011 Senior Credit Facility as of December 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, respectively. Borrowings bore interest at either the bank’s base rate (3.50% at December 26, 2015) or the London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) (0.42% at December 26, 2015) plus an additional amount ranging from 0.40% to 1.00% per annum (0.50% at December 26, 2015), adjusted quarterly based on our leverage ratio. The Company was also required to pay, quarterly in arrears, a commitment fee for unused capacity ranging from 0.08% to 0.20% per annum (0.10% at December 26, 2015), adjusted quarterly based on the Company’s leverage ratio. There were no compensating balance requirements associated with the 2011 Senior Credit Facility. The 2011 Senior Credit Facility required quarterly compliance with respect to two material covenants: a fixed charge coverage ratio and a leverage ratio. The fixed charge coverage ratio compared earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock compensation and rent expense (“consolidated EBITDAR”) to the sum of interest paid and rental expense (excluding any straight-line rent adjustments). The leverage ratio compared total debt plus rental expense (excluding any straight-line rent adjustments) multiplied by a factor of six to consolidated EBITDAR. The 2011 Senior Credit Facility also contained certain other restrictions regarding additional indebtedness, capital expenditures, business operations, guarantees, investments, mergers, consolidations and sales of assets, transactions with subsidiaries or affiliates, and liens. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 26, 2015. 2016 Senior Credit Facility The 2016 Senior Credit Facility contains a $200 million term loan which requires quarterly payments totaling $10 million a year in years one and two and $20 million a year in years three through five, with the remaining balance due in full on the maturity date of February 19, 2021. The 2016 Senior Credit Facility also contains a $500 million revolving credit facility (with a sublimit of $50 million for swingline loans). Borrowings for both the term loan and the revolving credit facility bear interest at either the bank’s base rate or LIBOR plus an additional amount ranging from 0.500% to 1.125% per annum, adjusted quarterly based on our leverage ratio. The Company is also required to pay, quarterly in arrears, a commitment fee for unused capacity ranging from 0.075% to 0.200% per annum, adjusted quarterly based on the Company’s leverage ratio. Proceeds from the 2016 Senior Credit Facility are available to be used for working capital, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, and other matters.
