Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies We have guarantees related to certain franchisee leases and loans. Payments under these guarantees would result from the inability of a franchisee to fund required payments when due. Through September 30, 2015, no events had occurred that caused us to make payments under the guarantees. There were $10.0 million and $9.8 million of loans outstanding under these programs as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. As of September 30, 2015, the maximum amounts payable under the lease guarantee and loan guarantees were $2.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively. As a result of these guarantees, we have recorded liabilities of less than $0.1 million as of both September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, which are included as a component of other noncurrent liabilities and deferred credits in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and other nonoperating expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. There are various claims and pending legal actions against or indirectly involving us, incidental to and arising out of the ordinary course of the business. In the opinion of management, based upon information currently available, the ultimate liability with respect to these proceedings and claims will not materially affect the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.
