• | Focusing on our global flavors and menu offerings. We believe that our globally inspired menu, focused on noodle and pasta dishes, differentiates us from other restaurants. We also believe this global variety, which includes a range of healthy to indulgent dishes that are cooked to order with fresh, high-quality ingredients, remains a competitive strength. In 2017 our limited-time offers included Spicy Chipotle Adobo and Thai Green Curry with shrimp, both of which are new dishes with distinctive flavor profiles. Also, in October of 2017 we launched nationally a Macaroni & Cheese menu which incorporated a higher quality cheese sauce into our top-selling Wisconsin Mac & Cheese. With this launch we also featured a Buffalo Mac & Cheese, Truffle Mac & Cheese and Barbecue Pork Mac. While we will continue to execute on our culinary initiatives we also believe that we have opportunities to better communicate our positioning to our customers, both inside our restaurants and through digital, social and media outlets. |
• | Improving efficiencies and unit-level margins. We believe that there is significant opportunity to improve our operational consistency as well as our overall unit level margins. In October 2016, we reduced the size of our core menu from 28 entrée items to 19 entrée items, removing menu items that did not sell well and were challenging for our teams to execute. During 2017, we improved several processes inside our restaurants, such as the introduction of a produce chopper to improve consistency and labor efficiency in our restaurants. We believe we have additional opportunity to improve efficiencies in our business and economic models. As an example, in 2018 we intend to complete the national roll out of self-bussing stations, which we believe will reduce labor hours and improve cleanliness in our restaurants. We also believe that we have opportunity in our supply chain and food preparation procedures to reduce inbound ingredient costs and improve labor efficiency. |
• | Enhancing convenience for our customers. We believe there is significant opportunity in increasing convenience for our customers. In 2017, we launched nationally our NoodlesREWARDS program, a loyalty program that also allows our |
• | Improving manager selection, training and development of our teams. We have increased the focus on the selection, training and development of our restaurant teams. We have initiated the use of new assessment tools in management hiring, and we have implemented certain changes to our restaurant compensation program to encourage team member retention. We have also begun rolling out new training tools and learning management systems to improve execution and encourage career development within our teams. Finally, we have begun a thorough, disciplined process of sharing best practices throughout the organization. |
• | Our Menu Offerings. We focus some of our marketing efforts on new menu offerings to broaden our appeal to our customers. We promote these items through a variety of formats including market-wide public relations events, social media marketing, radio promotions, tastings and messaging to our NoodlesREWARDS members. In addition to increasing brand awareness, these promotions also encourage prompt consumer action, resulting in more immediate increases in our customer traffic. |
• | Online, Social and Other Media Tools. We rely on our website, www.noodles.com, to promote our business and increase brand awareness. The information on or available through our website is not, and should not be considered, a part of this report. Our customers are encouraged to sign up to receive communications through our NoodlesREWARDS program, updating them on new menu offerings and promotional opportunities. As of January 2, 2018, more than 1.8 million of our customers have signed up to receive communication either through our rewards or e-club programs. We also communicate with our customers using social media, such as our Facebook and Instagram pages, our YouTube and Vimeo channels and our Twitter feed. Our media tools also include advertising and direct mail in local, regional and national print/online media and mass communications including radio and out of home. In July 2017, we launched our NoodlesREWARDS program nationally which has provided a significant opportunity to create deeper relationships with our customers and increase frequency and average spend. Our online and social media engagement provides exciting opportunities to engage with our customers. |
• | Digital Advertising. We use targeted digital advertising in many of our markets. We believe this helps to increase top of mind awareness with potential customers and drives both frequency and trial. In addition, digital advertising provides us with the opportunity to promote specific product platforms and offerings such as online ordering. |
• | Creating New Meal Occasions. We also focus on ways Noodles & Company can serve customers at different times and in new places. For example, our Kids Meal menu was created for the future foodies of the world, children aged ten and under are invited to design their own meal made fresh-to-order, with quality ingredients, by choosing their entrée, two sides and a drink for around $5. Customers who want to feed a large group can enjoy our catering options comprised of main entrées, sides and desserts. We market these offerings in a variety of ways, including through in-restaurant posters, email, NoodlesREWARDS messages, Facebook posts and other communications outside of our restaurants. |
• | Making Noodles & Company Easier to Use. Some of our marketing efforts focus on making our restaurants easier to use. We seek to deliver superior customer service at every opportunity, generating consumer awareness of menu offerings with in-restaurant communications such as displays of our menu offerings that are visible upon entry and table top cards that highlight healthy food offerings. We also continue to implement initiatives to improve convenience for our customers, such as expanding the availability of third party delivery and introducing dedicated pick-up shelving units to increase the speed of the to-go transaction. |

(1) | AUVs consist of average annualized sales of all company-owned restaurants over the trailing 12 periods in a typical operating year. |
(2) | Comparable restaurant sales represent year-over-year sales for restaurants open for at least 18 full periods. |
(3) | Restaurant contribution represents restaurant revenue less restaurant operating costs, which are the cost of sales, labor, occupancy and other operating items. Restaurant contribution is a non-GAAP measure that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and the calculation thereof may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. Restaurant contribution is a supplemental measure of the operating performance of our restaurants and is not reflective of the underlying performance of our business because corporate-level expenses are excluded from this measure. |

(2) | Includes the impact of impairing three restaurants in the fourth quarter of 2017, 18 restaurants in the third quarter of 2017, nine restaurants in the second quarter of 2017 and four restaurants in the first quarter of 2017. The impairment costs recognized were $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, $9.1 million in the third quarter of 2017, $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2017.

(3) | Includes the impact of impairing 42 restaurants in the fourth quarter of 2016, 11 restaurants in the second quarter of 2016 and one restaurant in the first quarter of 2016. The impairment costs recognized were $31.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, $10.3 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2016.

(5) | Restaurant contribution represents restaurant revenue less restaurant operating costs, which are the cost of sales, labor, occupancy and other operating items. Restaurant contribution is a non-GAAP measure that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and the calculation thereof may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. Restaurant contribution is a supplemental measure of the operating performance of our restaurants and is not reflective of the underlying performance of our business because corporate-level expenses are excluded from this measure. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||
Business and Summary and Basis of Presentation | Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business Noodles & Company (the “Company” or “Noodles & Company”), a Delaware corporation, develops and operates fast casual restaurants that serve globally inspired noodle and pasta dishes, soups, salads and appetizers. As of January 2, 2018, the Company had 412 company-owned restaurants and 66 franchise restaurants in 29 states and the District of Columbia. The Company operates its business as one operating and reportable segment. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Noodles & Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. As permitted by the SEC under Release No. 34-78041, the Company has used Inline eXtensible Business Reporting Language (Inline XBRL) to provide its consolidated financial statements to the SEC. This information is not part of the financial statements and is unaudited. Fiscal Year The Company operates on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Tuesday closest to December 31. Fiscal year 2017 and 2015, which ended on January 2, 2018 and December 29, 2015, respectively, each contained 52 weeks, and fiscal year 2016, which ended on January 3, 2017, contained 53 weeks. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with an initial maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Amounts receivable from credit card processors are converted to cash shortly after the related sales transaction and are considered to be cash equivalents because they are both short-term and highly liquid in nature. Amounts receivable from credit card processors as of January 2, 2018 and January 3, 2017 were $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and were offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets by outstanding checks. Book overdrafts, which are outstanding checks in excess of cash and cash equivalents, are recorded within accounts payable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and within operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists primarily of tenant improvement receivables and vendor rebates, as well as amounts due from franchisees and other miscellaneous receivables arising from the normal course of business. The Company believes all amounts to be collectible. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded as of January 2, 2018 or January 3, 2017. Inventories Inventories consist of food, beverages, supplies and smallwares, and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Smallwares inventory, which consist of the plates, silverware and cooking utensils used in the restaurants, are frequently replaced and are therefore considered current assets. Replacement costs of smallwares inventory are recorded as other restaurant operating costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are expensed as incurred. As of January 2, 2018 and January 3, 2017, smallwares inventory of $6.7 million and $7.3 million, respectively, were included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for minor replacements and maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the accounts are relieved of cost and accumulated depreciation and the related gain or loss is reflected in earnings. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the lease term, which generally includes option periods that are reasonably assured to be exercised. Depreciation and amortization expense on property and equipment, including assets under capital lease, was $24.5 million, $28.0 million and $27.7 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The estimated useful lives for property and equipment are:
The Company capitalizes internal payroll and payroll-related costs directly related to the successful acquisition, development, design and construction of its new restaurants. Capitalized internal costs were $0.9 million, $2.4 million and $3.0 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Interest incurred on funds used to construct company-owned restaurants is capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the related assets. Capitalized interest totaled $0.2 million in 2017 and $0.3 million in both 2016 and 2015. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but instead is tested for impairment at least annually (or more often, if necessary) as of the first day of the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter. Goodwill is evaluated at the level of the Company’s single operating segment, which also represents the Company’s only reporting unit. Step one of the impairment test is based upon a comparison of the carrying value of net assets, including goodwill balances, to the fair value of net assets. Fair value is measured using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. The income approach consists of utilizing the discounted cash flow method that incorporates the Company’s estimates of future revenues and costs, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The Company’s estimates used in the income approach are consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage operations. The market approach utilizes multiples of profit measures to estimate the fair value of the assets. The Company evaluates all methods to ensure reasonably consistent results. Additionally, the Company evaluates the key input factors in the model used to determine whether a moderate change in any input factor or combination of factors would significantly change the results of the tests. Based on the Company’s analysis, no impairment charges were recognized on goodwill for the fiscal years ended 2017, 2016 and 2015. However, an impairment charge may be triggered in the future if cash flows of the Company’s restaurants decline significantly, or if there are significant adverse changes in the operating environment of the restaurant industry. Intangibles, net Intangibles, net consists primarily of reacquired franchise rights, favorable lease agreements, trademarks and transferable liquor licenses. The Company amortizes the fair value of reacquired franchise rights over the remaining contractual terms of the reacquired franchise area development agreements at the time of acquisition, which ranged from approximately eight years to 16 years as of January 2, 2018. The Company amortizes the fair value of favorable lease agreements over the remaining related lease terms at the time of the acquisition, which ranged from approximately two years to seven years as of January 2, 2018. Trademark rights are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets, the carrying value of which are analyzed for impairment at least annually (or more often, if necessary). Transferable liquor licenses are carried at the lower of cost or fair value and are evaluated annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. Identifiable cash flows are measured at the lowest level for which they are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities, generally at the restaurant level. If the assets are determined to be impaired, the amount of impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value. Estimates of future cash flows are based on the Company’s experience and knowledge of local operations. During 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded impairment charges of certain long-lived assets which are included in restaurant impairments, closure costs and asset disposals in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 6, Restaurant Impairments, Closure Costs and Asset Disposals. Fair value of the restaurant assets was determined using Level 3 inputs (as described in Note 5, Fair Value Measurements). Debt Issuance Costs Certain fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing are capitalized and included as a reduction in the net carrying value of long-term debt, net of accumulated amortization. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt. When debt is extinguished prior to its maturity date, the amortization of the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs, or pro-rata portion thereof, is charged to loss on extinguishment of debt. Debt issuance costs of $1.2 million and $0.7 million, net of accumulated amortization, as of January 2, 2018 and January 3, 2017, respectively, are included as a reduction of long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Self-Insurance Programs The Company self-insures for health, workers’ compensation, general liability and property damage. Predetermined loss limits have been arranged with insurance companies to limit the Company’s per occurrence cash outlay. Estimated costs to settle reported claims and incurred but unreported claims for health and workers’ compensation self-insured plans are recorded in accrued payroll and benefits and for general liability and property damage in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash balances may exceed federally insured limits. Credit card transactions at the Company’s restaurants are processed by one service provider. Concentration of credit risk related to accounts receivable are limited, as the Company’s receivables are primarily amounts due from landlords for the reimbursement of tenant improvements and the Company generally has the right to offset rent due for tenant improvement receivables. Revenue Recognition Revenue consists of sales from restaurant operations and franchise royalties and fees. Revenue from the operation of company-owned restaurants are recognized when sales occur. The Company reports revenue net of sales and use taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental taxing authorities. The Company sells gift cards which do not have an expiration date, and it does not deduct non-usage fees from outstanding gift card balances. The Company recognizes revenue from gift cards when the gift card is redeemed by the customer or the Company determines the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote (“gift card breakage”). The determination of the gift card breakage rate is based upon Company-specific historical redemption patterns. The Company has determined that approximately 6% of gift cards will not be redeemed, which is recognized ratably over the estimated redemption period of the gift card, approximately 18 months. The Company recognized gift card breakage in restaurant revenue of approximately $0.3 million in each of the fiscal years ended 2017, 2016 and 2015. Royalties from franchise restaurants are based on a percentage of restaurant revenues and are recognized in the period the related franchised restaurants’ sales occur. Development fees and franchise fees, portions of which are collected in advance, are nonrefundable and are recognized in income when all material services or conditions relating to the sale of the franchise have been substantially performed or satisfied by the Company. Both franchise fees and development fees will generally be recognized upon the opening of a franchise restaurant or upon termination of the agreement(s) between the Company and the franchisee. As of January 2, 2018, January 3, 2017 and December 29, 2015, there were 66, 75 and 70 franchise restaurants in operation, respectively. Franchisees opened three, six and 19 restaurants in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Pre-Opening Costs Pre-opening costs, including rent, wages, benefits and travel for the training and opening teams, food, beverage and other restaurant operating costs, are expensed as incurred prior to a restaurant opening for business. Advertising and Marketing Costs Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and aggregated $5.7 million, $10.0 million and $8.0 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These costs are included in restaurant operating costs, general and administrative expenses and pre-opening costs based on the nature of the advertising and marketing costs incurred. Rent Rent expense for the Company’s leases, which generally have escalating rentals over the term of the lease, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease term includes renewal options which are reasonably assured of being exercised and begins when the Company has control and possession of the leased property, which is typically before rent payments are due under the lease. The difference between the rent expense and rent paid is recorded as deferred rent in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rent expense for the period prior to the restaurant opening is reported in pre-opening costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Tenant incentives used to fund leasehold improvements are recorded in deferred rent and amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the lease. Certain leases contain rental provisions based on the sales of the underlying restaurants; the Company has determined that the amount of these provisions is immaterial. Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes Provision (benefit) for income taxes is accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those deferred amounts are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are recorded for deferred tax assets that more likely than not will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest to be paid on an underpayment of income taxes in interest expense and any related statutory penalties in provision (benefit) for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Stock-Based Compensation Expense Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based upon the estimated fair value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest and is recognized as expense over the applicable vesting period of the award generally using the straight-line method (see Note 9, Stock-Based Compensation for more information). Foreign Currency Translation In 2017, the Company ceased its Canadian operations and liquidated the related assets. The Canadian dollar was the functional currency for the Company’s Canadian restaurant operations. Assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars were translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet dates. Income and expense accounts were translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the period. Translation adjustments from currency exchange were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions were recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, “Revenue Recognition.” This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year, and would allow entities the option to early adopt the new revenue standard as of the original effective date. There have been multiple standards updates amending this guidance or providing corrections or improvements on issues in the guidance. The requirements for these standards relating to Topic 606 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. This standard permits adoption using one of two transition methods, either the retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The Company will adopt these standards effective the first quarter of fiscal 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of these standards will not impact the Company’s recognition of revenue from company-owned restaurants or its recognition of continuing royalty fees from franchisees, which are based on a percentage of restaurant revenues and are recognized in the period the related franchised restaurants’ sales occur. The adoption of the new revenue recognition standards will impact the Company’s accounting for initial fees charged to franchisees. The Company’s current accounting policy is to recognize initial franchise fees when when all material services or conditions relating to the sale of the franchise have been substantially performed or satisfied by the Company, which is generally when a new franchise restaurant opens. In accordance with the new guidance, the initial franchise services are not distinct from the continuing rights or services offered during the term of the franchise agreement, and will therefore be treated as a single performance obligation. As such, initial fees received will be recognized over the term of the related franchise agreement. Although the standard will impact the manner in which we record revenue from initial fees, the Company does not believe this impact will be material to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cumulative catch-up adjustment to be recorded as deferred revenue upon adoption will be approximately $1.5 million. No impact to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows is expected as the initial fees will continue to be collected upon the restaurant opening date. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standards on its disclosures of the Company’s revenues. Further, the Company is currently implementing internal controls related to the recognition and presentation of the Company’s revenues under these new standards. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, “Leases.” The pronouncement amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheet and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. This pronouncement will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2019), with early adoption permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company believes the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will have a significant impact on its consolidated balance sheets by significantly increasing its non-current assets and non-current liabilities in order to record the right of use assets and related lease liabilities for its existing operating leases. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this accounting standard will have on its results of operations and cash flows and related disclosures. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330).” The pronouncement was issued to simplify the measurement of inventory and changes the measurement from lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2017) and is required to be adopted prospectively. The Company adopted this standard at the beginning of fiscal 2017 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations and cash flows. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification of awards on the statement of cash flows. The pronouncement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2017) and interim periods therein. The Company adopted this standard at the beginning of fiscal 2017 and the adoption impacted our accounting for excess tax benefits and deficiencies as all excess tax benefits and deficiencies have been recognized within the provision (benefit) for income taxes line item in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which they occur (see Note 7, Income Taxes). The Company elected the prospective method of transition and, except as described above, the provisions of ASU 2016-09 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Borrowings | Long-Term Debt The Company has a credit facility consisting of a credit line of $97.5 million, expiring in June 2019. As of January 2, 2018, the Company had $58.8 million of indebtedness and $3.3 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving line of credit. The Company’s ability to borrow funds pursuant to the revolving line of credit is further limited by the requirement that it comply with the revolving line of credit’s financial covenants upon the measurement dates specified therein. These financial covenants include a maximum lease-adjusted leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. The credit agreement also contains other customary covenants, including limitations on additional borrowings, acquisitions, dividend payments and lease commitments. On February 8, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to its credit facility. Among other things, giving effect to the equity issuances completed during the first quarter of 2017, the amendment increased the interest rate, increased capital expenditure amounts related to restaurant growth and made certain other changes. On November 8, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to its credit facility. Among other things, the amendment (i) increased the lease adjusted leverage ratios and decreased the fixed charge coverage ratios, (ii) increased the interest rate margin applicable to the total lease adjusted leverage levels at and above 3.75:1.00, (iii) added automatic and permanent reduction to the revolving credit facility by $2.5 million per quarter beginning with the fourth quarter of 2017, (iv) provided for a maturity date of June 4, 2019, (v) modified the capital expenditure covenant so that it applies to total capital expenditures and not only growth capital expenditures and permits total capital expenditures of up to $22.0 million in 2017 and $10.0 million per year thereafter, and (vi) made certain other changes. Borrowings under the agreement as amended bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (i) LIBOR plus 2.50% to 3.75%, based on the lease-adjusted leverage ratio or (ii) the highest of the following rates plus 1.50% to 2.75%: (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%; (b) the Bank of America prime rate or (c) the one month LIBOR plus 1.00%. The credit facility includes a commitment fee of 0.35% to 0.55%, based on the lease-adjusted leverage ratio, per year on any unused portion of the credit facility. The credit facility bore interest at a range of 3.77% to 7.00% during 2017. The Company recorded interest expense of $3.8 million, $2.9 million and $1.4 million for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, of which $0.5 million, $0.1 million, and $0.1 million was amortization of debt issuance costs in each of the respective years. As of January 2, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants. The credit facility is secured by a pledge of stock of substantially all of the Company’s subsidiaries and a lien on substantially all of the personal property assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and all other current liabilities approximate fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts of borrowings approximate fair value as the line of credit and term borrowings vary with market interest rates and negotiated terms and conditions are consistent with current market rates. The fair value of the Company’s line of credit borrowings is measured using Level 2 inputs. Adjustments to the fair value of non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of January 2, 2018 and January 3, 2017 are discussed in Note 6, Restaurant Impairments, Closure Costs and Asset Disposals. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value The fair values are assigned a level within the fair value hierarchy, depending on the source of the inputs into the calculation. Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Level 2—Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3—Prices or valuation techniques which require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

_____________________________
Restaurant Impairments During 2017, 2016 and 2015, 34 restaurants, 54 restaurants and 39 restaurants were identified as impaired, respectively. Impairment is based on management’s current assessment of the expected future cash flows of various restaurants based on recent results and other specific market factors. Impairment expense is a Level 3 fair value measure and was determined by comparing the carrying value of restaurant assets to the estimated fair market value of the restaurant assets at resale value. In performing its impairment testing, the Company forecasts the future undiscounted cash flows by looking at recent restaurant level performance, restaurant level operating plans, sales trends and cost trends for cost of sales, labor and operating expenses. The Company compares this cash flow forecast to the asset’s carrying value at the restaurant. Based on this analysis, if the carrying amount of the assets is greater than the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized, measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on a discounted cash flows analysis using a discount rate of 10% or at salvage value if expected cash flows are not material. Restaurant Closures During 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $20.1 million, $2.3 million and $3.1 million of closure costs, respectively. The closure costs recognized during 2017 are primarily related to the 55 restaurants closed during the first quarter of 2017 and ongoing costs of restaurants closed in the fourth quarter of 2015. The closure costs recognized during 2016 are related to the ongoing costs of restaurants closed during 2015, and closure costs recognized during 2015 relate to the 16 restaurants closed in the fourth quarter of 2015. Closure costs can include fees from real estate advisors and brokers related to terminations of the leases and charges resulting from final adjustments to liabilities as lease terminations occur. The measurement of an estimated closed restaurant operating lease liability is a Level 3 fair value measure. The Company provides for closed restaurant operating lease liabilities using a discount rate of 4.64% to calculate the present value of the remaining non-cancellable lease payments after the closing date, net of estimated subtenant income. The following table contains a summary of the changes in the liability for closed restaurants as of January 2, 2018 and January 3, 2017 (in thousands):

For the year ended January 2, 2018, the Company determined that it was appropriate to maintain a valuation allowance of $35.8 million against U.S. deferred tax assets due to uncertainty regarding the realizability of future tax benefits. The valuation allowance is recorded against net deferred tax assets, exclusive of indefinite-lived intangibles. The Company will maintain this valuation allowance until there is sufficient evidence to support a full or partial reversal. The reversal of a previously recorded valuation allowance will generally result in a benefit to the effective tax rate. The Company closed all Canadian restaurants and discontinued foreign business operations during the year ended January 2, 2018. As a result, all Canadian deferred tax assets were written off against the previously recorded Canadian valuation allowance. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code that will impact the Company. For tax years after December 31, 2017, the corporate income tax rate is reduced from 34% to 21%. As a result of the change in the future income tax rate, the Company revalued its deferred tax assets and liabilities using a 21% federal tax rate for the year ended January 2, 2018. On the same date, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) was issued by the SEC to address the application of US GAAP in situations where a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. The Company is still analyzing the changes to deferred tax assets and liabilities and other aspects of the Tax Act. While the amount recorded for the year ended January 2, 2018 is provisional, the Company expects that any material changes required by the Tax Act will be offset by the U.S. valuation allowance. The Company will continue to evaluate this, and other aspects of the Tax Act, to determine if any adjustments are required to be made during the measurement period provided by SAB 118. As of January 2, 2018 and January 3, 2017, net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $106.7 million and $60.5 million, respectively, were available to offset future taxable income through the years 2037 and 2036, respectively. The Internal Revenue Code Section 382 generally limits the utilization of NOLs when there is an ownership change. The Company has not completed an analysis of ownership changes through January 2, 2018. Prior to the utilization of NOLs in the future, the Company will complete a Section 382 study to determine whether there are any limitations. If such a limitation exists, it is possible that a portion of the NOLs may not be available for use before expiration. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 during the year ended January 2, 2018, which resulted in a cumulative increase of $8.6 million to GAAP basis NOL. Uncertain tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to sustain the tax position taken, and the measurement of the benefit is calculated as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon resolution of the benefit. The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. There were no uncertain tax positions for the years ended January 2, 2018 or January 3, 2017. The only periods subject to examination for the Company’s federal, foreign and state returns are 2013 through 2016.

Equity [Abstract] | |
Stockholder's Equity | Stockholders’ Equity Common Stock The Company has 181,000,000 shares of stock authorized, consisting of 150,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share; 30,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. Preferred stock rights will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in the event that preferred shares are issued. The following summarizes the rights of common stock: Voting—Shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share in all voting matters, with the exception that Class B common stock does not vote on the election or removal of directors. Conversion—Each share of Class A common stock held by either one of L Catterton Partners or Argentia Private Investments Inc. (“Argentia”) or their affiliates the (“Equity Sponsors”) is convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of Class B common stock. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of Class A common stock. Dividends—A Class C dividend agreement was entered in connection with the Merger Agreement between one of the Equity Sponsors and the Company, which provided that the new investor would receive, in the form of a dividend, an amount equal to the compensation payable to the other new investor under a management services agreement. In connection with the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), the management services agreement expired, and the one share of Class C common stock was redeemed. See additional information in Note 15, Related Party Transactions. Class A common stock and Class B common stock share equally if a dividend is declared or paid to either class, but they do not have rights to any special dividend. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up—Class A common stock and Class B common stock share equally in distributions in liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation. Registration Rights—The Equity Sponsors have the right to demand registration of 10% or more of the shares of the Company’s common stock held by them. A few shareholders who are also Executive Officers of the Company or members of the Company’s Board of Directors have piggyback registration rights, but they are not required to exercise these rights. Share Repurchase Program On June 4, 2015, the Company announced a share repurchase program of up to $35.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock. Under this program, the Company purchased shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in the open market (including in pre-arranged stock trading plans in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act) or in privately negotiated transactions. During fiscal year 2015, the Company repurchased 2,423,871 shares of its common stock for approximately $35.0 million in open market transactions, thereby completing the repurchase program. Repurchased shares are included as treasury stock in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Securities Purchase Agreement with L Catterton On February 8, 2017, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with L Catterton, pursuant to which the Company agreed, in return for aggregate gross proceeds of $18.5 million, to sell to L Catterton an aggregate of 18,500 shares of preferred stock convertible into 4,252,873 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price per share of $1,000, plus warrants exercisable for five years beginning six months following their issuance for the purchase of 1,913,793 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, at a price per share of $4.35 (such transactions, collectively, the “private placement”). The proceeds have been, and will continue to be used, in conjunction with cash flow from the Company’s operations and the proceeds received from the transaction with Mill Road (see below), to satisfy existing and anticipated liabilities and to fund, in part, certain capital expenditures related to business initiatives in its company-owned restaurants. Any remaining proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The funding of the private placement occurred on February 9, 2017 and the net proceeds from the transaction were $16.6 million, after $1.9 million of transaction expenses. The Company determined that the preferred stock was more akin to a temporary equity security than permanent equity primarily because the preferred stock was contingently redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that was outside of the Company’s control. The proceeds were allocated between the three features of the private placement: the warrants, the embedded beneficial conversion feature in the preferred stock and the preferred stock itself. The fair values of the warrants of $3.1 million and the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $3.1 million were recorded as a discount against the stated value of the preferred stock on the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which is a Level 2 estimate of fair value. On April 5, 2017, the Company delivered a notice to L Catterton of its election to exercise the conversion option with respect to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The terms of the preferred stock provided that the Company could, at its option upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, cause all outstanding shares of preferred stock to be automatically converted into the Company’s Class A common stock. The conversion of the preferred stock into 4,252,873 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock occurred on April 12, 2017. The discount was amortized, using the interest method, and treated as a deemed dividend through the date of conversion, which resulted in the accretion of the preferred stock to its full redemption value. After the conversion, no shares of preferred stock are outstanding. At the conversion date, all unamortized discounts were recognized immediately as a deemed dividend, which increased the net loss attributable to common stockholders. The amortized discount was $8.0 million for the year ended January 2, 2018. Securities Purchase Agreement with Mill Road Capital On March 13, 2017, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Mill Road Capital II, L.P. (“Mill Road”), pursuant to which the Company agreed, in return for aggregate gross proceeds of $31.5 million, to issue to Mill Road an aggregate of 8,873,240 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price per share of $3.55, which was equal to the closing sale price for the Company’s Class A common stock on March 10, 2017. On April 3, 2017, such shares were issued and the funding of the private placement occurred. The net proceeds from the transaction were $29.1 million, after $2.4 million of transaction expenses. Reclassification of Cumulative Translation Adjustments During the year ended January 2, 2018, the Company closed all Canadian restaurants and liquidated the Canadian foreign subsidiary. As a result, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $0.2 million in operations for the translation adjustments from currency exchange that were previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company recognized this charge within Restaurant impairments, closure costs and asset disposals in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company’s Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as amended and restated in May of 2013, authorizes the grant of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and incentive bonuses to employees, officers, non-employee directors and other service providers. The number of shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Plan on or after the IPO shall not exceed 3,750,500 shares. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) or another committee designated by the Board, or in the absence of any such committee, the Board itself (the “administrator”). Stock options are granted at a price determined by the administrator at an exercise price that is not less than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The administrator may also grant SARs and RSUs with terms determined by the administrator in accordance with the Plan. The fair market value of shares prior to the IPO was determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board, or the Board using historical or then current transactions, comparable public company valuations, third-party valuations and other factors. All share-based awards (except for RSUs) granted under the Plan have a life of ten years. Most awards vest ratably over four years; however, some have been granted with different vesting schedules. Of the awards outstanding, none have been granted to non-employees (except those granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company) under the Plan. At January 2, 2018, approximately 4.2 million share-based awards were available to be granted under the Plan. Stock-based compensation expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of the awards. In 2017, 2016 and 2015, non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $1.7 million, $2.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, was included in general and administrative expense. Stock-based compensation of approximately $178,000, $222,000 and $229,000 was included in capitalized internal costs in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense also includes approximately $29,000 related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, see Note 11, Employee Benefit Plans. Included in stock-based compensation expense during the year ended January 3, 2017 was a $0.7 million charge for modifying the outstanding stock options granted to Kevin Reddy, who resigned from his position as the Chairman of the Board and from his position as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in July 2016. In connection with Mr. Reddy’s termination from the Company, the Company extended the exercise period of Mr. Reddy’s vested options and, as a result, he had the right to exercise his vested options to purchase the Company’s Class A common stock through October 23, 2017. These vested options expired unexercised. The estimated fair value of each option granted is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on the historical Company volatility, as well as volatilities from publicly traded companies operating in the Company’s industry. The Company uses historical data to estimate expected employee forfeiture of stock options. The expected life of options granted is management’s best estimate using recent and expected transactions. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The weighted-average assumptions used in the model were as follows:
The Company has estimated forfeiture rates that range from 0% to 10% based upon the class of employees receiving stock-based compensation in its calculation of stock-based compensation expense for the year ended January 2, 2018. These estimates are based on historical forfeiture behavior exhibited by employees of the Company. A summary of aggregate option award activity under the Plan as of January 2, 2018, and changes during the fiscal year then ended is presented below:
_____________
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the years ended January 2, 2018, January 3, 2017 and December 29, 2015 was $1.74, $2.85 and $5.04, respectively. The intrinsic value associated with options exercised was zero, $0.2 million and $4.2 million for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2018, January 3, 2017 and December 29, 2015, respectively. The Company had 177,491, 271,457 and 346,235 options that vested during the years ended January 2, 2018, January 3, 2017 and December 29, 2015, respectively. These awards had a total estimated fair value of $0.8 million, $2.7 million and $3.4 million at the date of vesting for the years ended January 2, 2018, January 3, 2017 and December 29, 2015, respectively. A summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested restricted share units as of January 2, 2018 and changes during the year then ended is presented below:
The Company granted 328,106 restricted stock units during the year ended January 2, 2018 with a weighted-average grant-date estimated fair value of $3.42. The Company had 100,871 restricted stock units that vested during the year ended January 2, 2018. These units had a total estimated fair value of $0.5 million at the date of vesting for the year ended January 2, 2018. The restricted stock units granted during the year ended January 2, 2018 include 100,000 performance-vesting restricted stock units which were granted to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman. These restricted stock units will only vest upon the achievement of certain performance and market conditions including; the Company’s Class A common stock reaching a certain average closing price for two consecutive calendar quarters prior to December 31, 2020, or upon a change in control prior to December 31, 2020 if the stock price is equal to or higher than certain thresholds. The estimated fair value of the performance-vesting restricted stock units was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model, using the following assumptions: (i) risk-free interest rate of 1.7%, (ii) expected term of 3.4 years, (iii) dividend yield of 0%, and (iv) volatility of 55.0%. As of January 2, 2018, there was $2.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan, which is expected to be recognized over 2.49 years.

Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is calculated using net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive securities include shares of common stock underlying stock options and restricted common stock. Diluted EPS considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Employee Benefit Plans | Employee Benefit Plans Defined Contribution Plan In October 2003, the Company adopted a defined contribution plan, The Noodles & Company 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). Company employees aged 21 or older, are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan beginning on the first day of the calendar month following 30 days of employment. Under the provisions of the plan, the Company may, at its discretion, make contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Participants are 100% vested in their own contributions. The Company made no contributions during 2017, 2016 and 2015. Deferred Compensation Plan The Company’s deferred compensation plan, under which compensation deferrals began in 2013, is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan which allows highly compensated employees to defer a portion of their base salary and variable compensation each plan year. To offset its obligation, the Company purchases Company-owned whole-life insurance contracts on certain team members. As of January 2, 2018 and January 3, 2017, $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, were included in other assets, net, which represents the cash surrender value of the associated life insurance policies, and $1.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, were included in other long-term liabilities, which represents the carrying value of the liability for deferred compensation. Employee Stock Purchase Plan In 2013, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) under which eligible team members may voluntarily contribute up to 15% of their salaries, subject to limitations, to purchase common stock at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the first day of each offering period or 85% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the last day of each offering period, whichever amount is less. In general, all non-highly compensated employees who have been employed by the Company for at least 30 days prior to the offering period and who are regularly scheduled to work more than 20 hours per week and for more than five months in any calendar year, are eligible to participate in the ESPP which operates in-line with the Company’s fiscal quarters. A total of 750,000 shares of common stock are available for issuance under the ESPP. The Company has issued a total of 117,381 shares under this plan, of which 37,069 shares were issued during 2017. A total of 632,619 shares remain available for future issuance. For 2017, in accordance with the guidance for accounting for stock compensation, the Company estimated the fair value of the stock purchase plan using the Black-Scholes multiple-option pricing model. The average assumptions used in the model included a 1.07% risk-free interest rate; 0.25 years year expected life; expected volatility of 38.3%; and a zero percent dividend yield. The weighted average fair value per share at grant date was $0.77. In 2017, the Company recognized $29,000 of compensation expense related to the ESPP.

Leases | Leases The Company leases restaurant facilities, office space and certain equipment under operating leases that expire on various dates through January 2032. Lease terms for traditional shopping centers generally include a base term of 10 years, with options to extend these leases for additional periods of five to 15 years. Typically, the lease includes rent escalations, which are expensed on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. The difference between rent expense and cash paid for rent is recognized as deferred rent. Total rent expense for 2017, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $43.9 million, $48.5 million and $44.6 million, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Data Security Incident Overview On June 28, 2016, the Company announced that a data security incident compromised the security of the payment information of some customers who used debit or credit cards at certain Noodles & Company locations between January 31, 2016 and June 2, 2016. The malware involved in the incident has been removed, and the Company believes that it no longer poses a risk to credit or debit cards currently being used at affected locations. The Company continues to implement additional security procedures to further secure customers’ debit and credit card information. Card Company Assessments In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recorded a charge of $10.6 million for estimated losses, at the low end of an estimated range, associated with claims and anticipated claims by payment card companies for non-ordinary course operating expenses, card issuer losses and card replacement costs for which it expects to be liable (the “Data Breach Liabilities”). However, the Company may ultimately be subject to Data Breach Liabilities that are up to $5.5 million greater than that amount. Data Security Litigation In addition to claims by payment card companies with respect to the data security incident, the Company was a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (the “Court”), Selco Community Credit Union vs. Noodles & Company, alleging that the Company negligently failed to provide adequate security to protect the payment card information of customers of the plaintiffs and those of other similarly situated credit unions, banks and other financial institutions alleged to be part of the putative class, causing those institutions to suffer financial losses (the “Selco Litigation”). The complaint in the Selco Litigation also claimed the Company was negligent per se based on alleged violations of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and sought monetary damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees. On July 21, 2017, the Court granted a Motion to Dismiss in the Selco Litigation in favor of the Company. A notice of appeal of the dismissal was filed on August 15, 2017. On November 2, 2017 a mediation was held and a settlement, which was funded entirely by insurance proceeds, was reached, which resulted in a dismissal of the appeal and a resolution of the Selco Litigation on November 20, 2017. Fees and Costs The Company has incurred fees and costs associated with this data security incident, including legal fees, investigative fees, other professional fees and costs of communications with customers. The Company expects to continue to incur significant fees and costs associated with the data security incident in future periods, consisting primarily of liabilities to a payment card company that are not covered by insurance for which the Company has already recorded a charge of $10.6 million of which a portion remains to be paid (see Note 2, Supplemental Financial Information). Insurance Coverage As discussed above, to limit its exposure to losses arising from matters such as the data security incident, the Company maintained at the time of the incident and continues to maintain data privacy liability insurance coverage. This coverage, and certain other customary business insurance coverage, has reduced the Company’s exposure related to the data security incident. General It is possible that losses associated with the data security incident could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in future periods. The Company will continue to evaluate information as it becomes known and will record an estimate for additional losses at the time or times when it is probable that an additional loss, if any, will be incurred and the amount of any such loss is reasonably estimable. Delaware Gift Card Litigation As previously disclosed in prior reports filed with the SEC, the Company is named as a defendant in an action filed in the Superior Court of Delaware in New Castle County (the “Court”), entitled The State of Delaware, William French v. Card Compliant, LLC, et. al. The case was filed under seal in June 2013 and was unsealed on March 26, 2014. The complaint in this case alleges that a number of large retailers and restaurant companies, including the Company, knowingly refused to fulfill obligations under Delaware’s Abandoned Property Law by failing to report and deliver “unclaimed gift card funds” to the State of Delaware, and knowingly made, used or caused to be made or used, false statements and records to conceal, avoid or decrease an obligation to pay or transmit money to Delaware in violation of the Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act. The complaint seeks an order that the Company cease and desist from violating the Delaware Abandoned Property Law, monetary damages (including treble damages under the False Claims and Reporting Act), penalties and attorneys’ fees and costs. On November 23, 2015, the Court ruled on a motion to dismiss the complaint. While the Court granted the motion to dismiss with respect to a claim alleging that the defendants intended to defraud the government or willfully concealed property owed to the government and for which a certificate or receipt was provided, it did not dismiss the other claims alleging that the defendants knowingly made false statements to avoid transmitting money to the government. The trial date with respect to this matter is set for May 21, 2018. The defendants have filed a motion for summary judgment in the case. A motion and supplemental motion for summary judgment have been filed on behalf of the Company. Oral argument on the motion for summary judgment was held on November 8, 2017 and the motion is now with the Court for ruling. In 2015 the Company recorded a loss contingency accrual based on a reasonable estimate of the probable losses that might arise from this matter; this loss contingency accrual did not have a material effect on our results of operations. However, the Company may ultimately be subject to greater losses resulting from the litigation. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend this action. Other Matters In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to other proceedings, lawsuits and claims. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Consequently, the Company is unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact with respect to these matters as of January 2, 2018. These matters could affect the operating results of any one financial reporting period when resolved in future periods. The Company believes that an unfavorable outcome with respect to these matters is remote or a potential range of loss is not material to its consolidated financial statements. Significant increases in the number of these claims, or one or more successful claims that result in greater liabilities than the Company currently anticipates, could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Employment Agreements In July 2017, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its Executive Chairman, Paul Murphy (the “Murphy Agreement”). The agreement does not have an initial term, the agreement will be effective until Mr. Murphy’s employment is terminated by the Company with or without “cause” or by Mr. Murphy for any reason. If Mr. Murphy's employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” (as defined in the Murphy Agreement) prior to the fourth anniversary of the effective date, he is entitled to receive compensation equal to 12 months of his then-current base salary, payable in equal installments over 12 months and reimbursement of “COBRA” premiums for as long as he and, if applicable, his dependents are eligible for COBRA from the Company. The severance payments are conditioned upon Mr. Murphy entering into a mutual release of claims with the Company. In September 2017, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer, Dave Boennighausen (the “Boennighausen Agreement”). The agreement has an initial term of three years and automatically renews at the end of the initial term and on each anniversary thereafter for a period of one year unless canceled by either party within 90 days of the end of the initial term or anniversaries thereof. Under the Boennighausen Agreement, if Mr. Boennighausen’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or by Mr. Boennighausen with “good reason,” (as such terms are defined in the Boennighausen Agreement) he is entitled to receive compensation equal to 12 months of his then-current base salary, payable in equal installments over 12 months, a pro rata bonus for the year of termination and reimbursement of “COBRA” premiums for as long as he and, if applicable, his dependents are eligible for COBRA from the Company. The severance payments are conditioned upon Mr. Boennighausen entering into a mutual release of claims with the Company.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related-Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions Stockholders Agreement In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a stockholders agreement (the “2013 Stockholders Agreement”) with L Catterton and Argentia (the “Equity Sponsors”) which grants them the right, subject to certain conditions, to nominate representatives to the Company’s Board of Directors and committees of the Board of Directors. L Catterton and Argentia each have the right to designate two members to the Company’s Board of Directors and the parties to the stockholders agreement agree to vote to elect such director designees. If at any time an Equity Sponsor owns more than 10.0% and less than 20.0% of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock, such Equity Sponsor has the right to designate one nominee for election to our Board of Directors. If an Equity Sponsor’s ownership level falls below 10.0% of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock, such Equity Sponsor will no longer have a right to designate a nominee. In addition, for so long as L Catterton and Argentia together hold at least 35.0% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock, certain actions may not be taken without the approval of L Catterton (so long as it holds at least 5.0% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock) and Argentia (so long as it holds at least 5.0% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock). Securities Purchase Agreements See Note 8, Stockholders’ Equity for discussion of the securities purchase agreements entered into with L Catterton and Mill Road during 2017. Under the securities purchase agreement with Mill Road, if at any time Mill Road owns 10.0% or more of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock, Mill Road has the right to designate one nominee for election to our Board of Directors. If Mill Road’s ownership level falls below 10.0% of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock, Mill Road will no longer have a right to designate a nominee.

Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) |
12 Months Ended |

Jan. 02, 2018 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation and Basis of PresentationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Noodles & Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. |
Fiscal Year | Fiscal YearThe Company operates on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Tuesday closest to December 31. Fiscal year 2017 and 2015, which ended on January 2, 2018 and December 29, 2015, respectively, each contained 52 weeks, and fiscal year 2016, which ended on January 3, 2017, contained 53 weeks. |
Estimates | EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with an initial maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Amounts receivable from credit card processors are converted to cash shortly after the related sales transaction and are considered to be cash equivalents because they are both short-term and highly liquid in nature. Amounts receivable from credit card processors as of January 2, 2018 and January 3, 2017 were $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and were offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets by outstanding checks. Book overdrafts, which are outstanding checks in excess of cash and cash equivalents, are recorded within accounts payable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and within operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts ReceivableAccounts receivable consists primarily of tenant improvement receivables and vendor rebates, as well as amounts due from franchisees and other miscellaneous receivables arising from the normal course of business. |
Inventories | InventoriesInventories consist of food, beverages, supplies and smallwares, and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Smallwares inventory, which consist of the plates, silverware and cooking utensils used in the restaurants, are frequently replaced and are therefore considered current assets. Replacement costs of smallwares inventory are recorded as other restaurant operating costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are expensed as incurred. |
Property and Equipment | Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for minor replacements and maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the accounts are relieved of cost and accumulated depreciation and the related gain or loss is reflected in earnings. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the lease term, which generally includes option periods that are reasonably assured to be exercised. |
Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but instead is tested for impairment at least annually (or more often, if necessary) as of the first day of the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter. Goodwill is evaluated at the level of the Company’s single operating segment, which also represents the Company’s only reporting unit. Step one of the impairment test is based upon a comparison of the carrying value of net assets, including goodwill balances, to the fair value of net assets. Fair value is measured using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. The income approach consists of utilizing the discounted cash flow method that incorporates the Company’s estimates of future revenues and costs, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The Company’s estimates used in the income approach are consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage operations. The market approach utilizes multiples of profit measures to estimate the fair value of the assets. The Company evaluates all methods to ensure reasonably consistent results. Additionally, the Company evaluates the key input factors in the model used to determine whether a moderate change in any input factor or combination of factors would significantly change the results of the tests. Based on the Company’s analysis, no impairment charges were recognized on goodwill for the fiscal years ended 2017, 2016 and 2015. However, an impairment charge may be triggered in the future if cash flows of the Company’s restaurants decline significantly, or if there are significant adverse changes in the operating environment of the restaurant industry.
|
Intangibles, net | Intangibles, netIntangibles, net consists primarily of reacquired franchise rights, favorable lease agreements, trademarks and transferable liquor licenses. The Company amortizes the fair value of reacquired franchise rights over the remaining contractual terms of the reacquired franchise area development agreements at the time of acquisition, which ranged from approximately eight years to 16 years as of January 2, 2018. The Company amortizes the fair value of favorable lease agreements over the remaining related lease terms at the time of the acquisition, which ranged from approximately two years to seven years as of January 2, 2018. Trademark rights are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets, the carrying value of which are analyzed for impairment at least annually (or more often, if necessary). Transferable liquor licenses are carried at the lower of cost or fair value and are evaluated annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived AssetsLong-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. Identifiable cash flows are measured at the lowest level for which they are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities, generally at the restaurant level. If the assets are determined to be impaired, the amount of impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value. Estimates of future cash flows are based on the Company’s experience and knowledge of local operations. During 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded impairment charges of certain long-lived assets which are included in restaurant impairments, closure costs and asset disposals in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 6, Restaurant Impairments, Closure Costs and Asset Disposals. Fair value of the restaurant assets was determined using Level 3 inputs (as described in Note 5, Fair Value Measurements). |
Long-Term Debt | Certain fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing are capitalized and included as a reduction in the net carrying value of long-term debt, net of accumulated amortization. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt. When debt is extinguished prior to its maturity date, the amortization of the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs, or pro-rata portion thereof, is charged to loss on extinguishment of debt. |
Self Insurance Programs | Self-Insurance ProgramsThe Company self-insures for health, workers’ compensation, general liability and property damage. Predetermined loss limits have been arranged with insurance companies to limit the Company’s per occurrence cash outlay. Estimated costs to settle reported claims and incurred but unreported claims for health and workers’ compensation self-insured plans are recorded in accrued payroll and benefits and for general liability and property damage in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit RiskFinancial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash balances may exceed federally insured limits. Credit card transactions at the Company’s restaurants are processed by one service provider. Concentration of credit risk related to accounts receivable are limited, as the Company’s receivables are primarily amounts due from landlords for the reimbursement of tenant improvements and the Company generally has the right to offset rent due for tenant improvement receivables. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Revenue consists of sales from restaurant operations and franchise royalties and fees. Revenue from the operation of company-owned restaurants are recognized when sales occur. The Company reports revenue net of sales and use taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental taxing authorities. The Company sells gift cards which do not have an expiration date, and it does not deduct non-usage fees from outstanding gift card balances. The Company recognizes revenue from gift cards when the gift card is redeemed by the customer or the Company determines the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote (“gift card breakage”). The determination of the gift card breakage rate is based upon Company-specific historical redemption patterns. The Company has determined that approximately 6% of gift cards will not be redeemed, which is recognized ratably over the estimated redemption period of the gift card, approximately 18 months. The Company recognized gift card breakage in restaurant revenue of approximately $0.3 million in each of the fiscal years ended 2017, 2016 and 2015. Royalties from franchise restaurants are based on a percentage of restaurant revenues and are recognized in the period the related franchised restaurants’ sales occur. Development fees and franchise fees, portions of which are collected in advance, are nonrefundable and are recognized in income when all material services or conditions relating to the sale of the franchise have been substantially performed or satisfied by the Company. Both franchise fees and development fees will generally be recognized upon the opening of a franchise restaurant or upon termination of the agreement(s) between the Company and the franchisee.
|
Pre-Opening Costs | Pre-Opening CostsPre-opening costs, including rent, wages, benefits and travel for the training and opening teams, food, beverage and other restaurant operating costs, are expensed as incurred prior to a restaurant opening for business. |
Advertising and Marketing Costs | Advertising and Marketing CostsAdvertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and aggregated $5.7 million, $10.0 million and $8.0 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These costs are included in restaurant operating costs, general and administrative expenses and pre-opening costs based on the nature of the advertising and marketing costs incurred. |
Rent | RentRent expense for the Company’s leases, which generally have escalating rentals over the term of the lease, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease term includes renewal options which are reasonably assured of being exercised and begins when the Company has control and possession of the leased property, which is typically before rent payments are due under the lease. The difference between the rent expense and rent paid is recorded as deferred rent in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rent expense for the period prior to the restaurant opening is reported in pre-opening costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Tenant incentives used to fund leasehold improvements are recorded in deferred rent and amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the lease. Certain leases contain rental provisions based on the sales of the underlying restaurants; the Company has determined that the amount of these provisions is immaterial. |
(Benefit) Provision for Income Taxes | Provision (Benefit) for Income TaxesProvision (benefit) for income taxes is accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those deferred amounts are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are recorded for deferred tax assets that more likely than not will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest to be paid on an underpayment of income taxes in interest expense and any related statutory penalties in provision (benefit) for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Stock Compensation Expense | Stock-Based Compensation ExpenseStock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based upon the estimated fair value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest and is recognized as expense over the applicable vesting period of the award generally using the straight-line method (see Note 9, Stock-Based Compensation for more information). |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency TranslationIn 2017, the Company ceased its Canadian operations and liquidated the related assets. The Canadian dollar was the functional currency for the Company’s Canadian restaurant operations. Assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars were translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet dates. Income and expense accounts were translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the period. Translation adjustments from currency exchange were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions were recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Reclassification | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, “Revenue Recognition.” This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year, and would allow entities the option to early adopt the new revenue standard as of the original effective date. There have been multiple standards updates amending this guidance or providing corrections or improvements on issues in the guidance. The requirements for these standards relating to Topic 606 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. This standard permits adoption using one of two transition methods, either the retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The Company will adopt these standards effective the first quarter of fiscal 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of these standards will not impact the Company’s recognition of revenue from company-owned restaurants or its recognition of continuing royalty fees from franchisees, which are based on a percentage of restaurant revenues and are recognized in the period the related franchised restaurants’ sales occur. The adoption of the new revenue recognition standards will impact the Company’s accounting for initial fees charged to franchisees. The Company’s current accounting policy is to recognize initial franchise fees when when all material services or conditions relating to the sale of the franchise have been substantially performed or satisfied by the Company, which is generally when a new franchise restaurant opens. In accordance with the new guidance, the initial franchise services are not distinct from the continuing rights or services offered during the term of the franchise agreement, and will therefore be treated as a single performance obligation. As such, initial fees received will be recognized over the term of the related franchise agreement. Although the standard will impact the manner in which we record revenue from initial fees, the Company does not believe this impact will be material to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cumulative catch-up adjustment to be recorded as deferred revenue upon adoption will be approximately $1.5 million. No impact to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows is expected as the initial fees will continue to be collected upon the restaurant opening date. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standards on its disclosures of the Company’s revenues. Further, the Company is currently implementing internal controls related to the recognition and presentation of the Company’s revenues under these new standards. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, “Leases.” The pronouncement amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheet and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. This pronouncement will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2019), with early adoption permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company believes the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will have a significant impact on its consolidated balance sheets by significantly increasing its non-current assets and non-current liabilities in order to record the right of use assets and related lease liabilities for its existing operating leases. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this accounting standard will have on its results of operations and cash flows and related disclosures.

Schedule of Changes in Liabilities for Closed Properties | Restaurant Closures During 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $20.1 million, $2.3 million and $3.1 million of closure costs, respectively. The closure costs recognized during 2017 are primarily related to the 55 restaurants closed during the first quarter of 2017 and ongoing costs of restaurants closed in the fourth quarter of 2015. The closure costs recognized during 2016 are related to the ongoing costs of restaurants closed during 2015, and closure costs recognized during 2015 relate to the 16 restaurants closed in the fourth quarter of 2015. Closure costs can include fees from real estate advisors and brokers related to terminations of the leases and charges resulting from final adjustments to liabilities as lease terminations occur. The measurement of an estimated closed restaurant operating lease liability is a Level 3 fair value measure. The Company provides for closed restaurant operating lease liabilities using a discount rate of 4.64% to calculate the present value of the remaining non-cancellable lease payments after the closing date, net of estimated subtenant income. The following table contains a summary of the changes in the liability for closed restaurants as of January 2, 2018 and January 3, 2017 (in thousands):
