Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE M – SEGMENT INFORMATION Nathan’s considers itself to be a brand marketer of the Nathan’s Famous signature products to the foodservice industry pursuant to its various business structures. Nathan’s sells its products directly to consumers through its Restaurant Operations segment consisting of Company-owned and franchised restaurants, including virtual kitchens; to distributors that resell our products to the foodservice industry through the Branded Product Program; and by third party manufacturers pursuant to license agreements that sell our products to supermarkets, club stores and grocery stores nationwide. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) who regularly reviews operating results, evaluates performance and allocates resources for the Branded Product Program, Product Licensing and Restaurant Operations segments based upon a number of factors, the primary profit measure being income from operations as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The CODM regularly reviews revenues, gross profit and income from operations by segment when evaluating the financial performance of each segment. Significant segment expenses are monitored by the CODM and included in the tables below. Segment asset information is not used by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources and therefore is not presented. Certain administrative expenses are not allocated to the segments and are reported within the Corporate segment. Branded Product Program – This segment derives revenue principally from the sale of hot dog products either directly to foodservice operators or to various foodservice distributors who resell the products to foodservice operators. Product licensing – This segment derives revenue, primarily in the form of royalties, from licensing a broad variety of Nathan’s Famous branded products, including our hot dogs, frozen crinkle-cut French fries and additional products through retail supermarkets, grocery channels and club stores throughout the United States. Restaurant operations – This segment derives revenue from the sale of our products at Company-owned restaurants and earns fees and royalties from its franchised restaurants, including its virtual kitchens. Revenues from operating segments are from transactions with unaffiliated third parties and do not include any intersegment revenues. Interest expense, loss on debt extinguishment and interest and dividend income are managed centrally at the corporate level, and, accordingly, such items are not presented by segment since they are excluded from the measure of profitability reviewed by the CODM. The following tables summarize segment information and reconcile our segment results to our consolidated results as reported on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings (in thousands):
