Public Relations And Marketing Development Fund And Restricted Cash [Abstract] 
Public Relations and Marketing Development Fund and Restricted Cash Policy [Text Block](4)        Public Relations and Marketing Development Fund and Restricted Cash We have a system-wide Public Relations and Marketing Development Fund, to which company-owned restaurants, in addition to franchise-operated restaurants on which franchise agreements were signed after December 17, 2003, are required to contribute a percentage of net sales, currently 0.75%, for use in public relations and marketing development efforts throughout the system. The assets held by this fund are considered restricted. Accordingly, we reflect the cash related to this fund in restricted cash and reflect the liability in accounts payable on our consolidated balance sheets as of October 2, 2011 and January 2, 2011. As of October 2, 2011 and January 2, 2011, we had approximately $288,000 and $94,000 in this fund, respectively.
