Leases, Operating [Abstract] |
Operating Lease Agreements | Operating lease agreements At December 31, 2017, the Company was the lessee at 2,743 locations through ground leases (the Company leases the land and the Company or franchisee owns the building) and through improved leases (the Company leases land and buildings). Lease terms for most restaurants vary between 10 and 20 years and, in many cases, provide for rent escalations and renewal options, with certain leases providing purchase options. Escalations terms vary by reporting unit, with examples including fixed-rent escalations, escalations based on an inflation index, and fair value adjustments. According to rental terms, the Company pays monthly rent based on the greater of a fixed rent or a certain percentage of the Company’s gross sales. For most locations, the Company is obligated for the related occupancy costs including property taxes, insurance and maintenance. However, for franchised sites, the Company requires the franchisees to pay these costs. In addition, the Company is the lessee under non-cancelable leases covering certain offices and warehouses. In March 2010, the Company entered into an aircraft operating lease agreement for a term of 8 years, which provides for quarterly payments of $690. The agreement includes a purchase option at the end of the lease term at fair market value and also an early purchase option at a fixed amount of $26,685 at maturity of the 24 th quarterly payment. The Company was required to make a cash deposit of $5,325 as collateral for the obligations assumed under this agreement. On December 22, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to the agreement, extending the term of the aircraft operating lease for an additional 10 years, with quarterly payments (retroactively effective as of December 5, 2017) of $442. Under the new agreement, the Company was required to make a cash collateral deposit of $2,500. At December 31, 2017, future minimum payments required under existing operating leases with initial terms of one year or more are:
