Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment and geographic information Segment and geographic information
     The Company is required to report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and interim financial reports issued to shareholders in accordance with ASC 280. Operating segments are components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker(s) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. ASC 280 also requires disclosures about the Company’s products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
 
As discussed in Note 1, the Company through its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries operates and franchises McDonald’s restaurants in the food service industry. The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting. The Company manages its business as distinct geographic segments. As of September 30, 2021, its operations were divided into four geographic divisions, which were as follows: (i) Brazil; (ii) the Caribbean division, consisting of Aruba, Curaçao, Colombia, French Guyana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, the U.S. Virgin Islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas and Venezuela; (iii) the North Latin America division (“NOLAD”), consisting of Costa Rica, Mexico and Panama; and (iv) the South Latin America division (“SLAD”), consisting of Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay. Effective October 1, 2021, the Company made certain changes in its internal management structure in order to gain operational agility. As a consequence, the Company reorganized its operation into three geographic divisions, as follows: (i) Brazil, (ii) the North Latin American division, or “NOLAD,” which is now comprised of Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Puerto Rico, Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guyana and the U.S. Virgin Islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas and (iii) the South Latin American division, or “SLAD,” which is now comprised of Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, Colombia, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Aruba and Curaçao. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 3.
