Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Operations and Basis of Presentation

Note 1 Operations and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

The financial statements include the consolidated accounts of The Chefs’ Warehouse, Inc. (the “Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s quarterly periods end on the thirteenth Friday of each quarter. Every six to seven years the Company will add a fourteenth week to its fourth quarter to more closely align its year end to the calendar year. Fiscal 2016 will include a fourteenth week in the fourth quarter. The Company operates in one reportable segment, food product distribution, which is concentrated on the East and West Coasts of the United States. The Company’s customer base consists primarily of menu-driven independent restaurants, fine dining establishments, country clubs, hotels, caterers, culinary schools, bakeries, patisseries, chocolatiers, cruise lines, casinos and specialty food stores.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related interim information contained within the notes to such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim information and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2015 filed as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 4, 2016.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing in this Form 10-Q have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 4, 2016, and in the opinion of management include all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s interim period results. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Due to seasonal fluctuations and other factors, the results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 24, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates.

Reclassification

Changes have been made to the prior period presentation in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income to conform to the current period presentation. Amounts previously included in operating expenses are now included in net sales and cost of sales and amounts previously included in sales have been netted against cost of sales. The impact of these reclassifications is included below:

Thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2015		Net Sales				Cost of Sales				Gross Profit				Operating Expenses
Previously reported		$	282,882			$	211,074			$	71,808			$	62,475
Income statement reclassifications			(2,031	)			(1,937	)			(94	)			(94	)
Current presentation		$	280,851			$	209,137			$	71,714			$	62,381

Twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2015		Net Sales				Cost of Sales				Gross Profit				Operating Expenses
Previously reported		$	481,758			$	359,610			$	122,148			$	109,674
Income statement reclassifications			(4,135	)			(3,458	)			(677	)			(677	)
Current presentation		$	477,623			$	356,152			$	121,471			$	108,997

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. This guidance includes the required steps to achieve the core principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. On August 12, 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after that date. Early adoption of ASU 2014-09 is permitted but not before the original effective date (annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016). We expect to adopt this guidance when effective and are still evaluating the impact this standard will have on our financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventory. This guidance provides that inventory should be measured at lower of cost or net realizable value. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and is required to be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. We expect to adopt this guidance when effective and are still evaluating the impact this standard will have on our financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the presentation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Current GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax assets and liabilities into current and non-current classifications. This guidance requires that all deferred tax liabilities be classified as non-current. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and may be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. We expect to adopt this guidance when effective and adoption is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance to increase the transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Current GAAP does not require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities arising from operating leases on the balance sheet. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We expect to adopt this guidance when effective and are evaluating the impact this standard will have on our financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for stock compensation. This guidance requires that all excess tax benefits and deficiencies be recognized as income tax expense in the period in which they occur and that they be reflected as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. Current GAAP requires excess tax benefits to be recognized as additional paid in capital and as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. In addition, the guidance gives companies the option of estimating the number of awards that will ultimately vest or accounting for forfeitures as they occur. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We expect to adopt this guidance when effective and are evaluating the impact this standard will have on our financial statements.

Guidance Adopted in 2016

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of debt issuance costs. This guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. We adopted this guidance retrospectively during the first quarter of 2016. As a result of adopting this guidance, total assets and total liabilities as of December 25, 2015 decreased as follows.

		Other Assets				Total assets				Current portion of long-term debt				Total current liabilities				Long-term debt				Total liabilities				Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity
Previously reported		$	5,626			$	586,218			$	6,266			$	103,144			$	268,508			$	398,254			$	586,218
