Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Introduction and Basis of Presentation | Introduction and Basis of Presentation Introduction Denny’s Corporation, or the Company, is one of America’s largest full-service restaurant chains based on number of restaurants. As of June 26, 2024, the Company consisted of 1,603 restaurants, 1,528 of which were franchised/licensed restaurants and 75 of which were company operated. The Company consists of the Denny’s brand ("Denny's") and the Keke’s Breakfast Café brand (“Keke’s”). As of June 26, 2024, the Denny's brand consisted of 1,541 restaurants, 1,477 of which were franchised/licensed restaurants and 64 of which were company operated. As of June 26, 2024, the Keke's brand consisted of 62 restaurants, 51 of which were franchised restaurants and 11 of which were company operated. Basis of Presentation Our unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Therefore, certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been omitted. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented have been included. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates are reasonable. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2023 which are contained in our audited Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2023. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending December 25, 2024. Our significant interim accounting policies include the recognition of advertising and marketing costs, generally in proportion to revenue, and the recognition of income taxes using an estimated annual effective rate. Change in Presentation Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2023 interim consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2024 presentation. These reclassifications did not affect total revenues or net income.
