Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
Income taxes were a benefit of $1.4 million and an expense of $378,000 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $2.3 million and $7.4 million during the three and nine months ended and June 30, 2023, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 21.5% and 12.0% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 20.1% and 21.6% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The disproportionate tax rates during the nine months ended June 30, 2024, were caused by the decrease in the expected annual effective tax rate. Our effective income tax rate is affected by state taxes, permanent differences, and tax credits, including the FICA tip credit, for both years, and the pretax loss in the three months ended June 30, 2024, as presented below.
