Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segments Segments
The Company identifies its reporting segments based on the organizational units used by management to monitor performance and make operating decisions. The Company currently has six operating segments: Applebee's franchise operations, IHOP franchise operations, Fuzzy's franchise operations, rental operations, financing operations, and company-operated restaurant operations. The Company has four reporting segments: franchise operations (an aggregation of each restaurant concept's franchise operations), company-operated restaurant operations, rental operations and financing operations. The Company considers these to be its reportable segments, regardless of whether any segment exceeds 10% of consolidated revenues, income before income tax provision or total assets.
 As of March 31, 2023, the franchise operations segment consisted of 1,673 restaurants operated by Applebee’s franchisees in the United States, two U.S. territories and 12 countries outside the United States; 1,790 restaurants operated by IHOP franchisees and area licensees in the United States, two U.S. territories and 11 countries outside the United States; and 134 restaurants operated by Fuzzy's franchisees in the United States. Franchise operations revenue consists primarily of franchise royalty revenues, franchise advertising revenue, sales of proprietary products to franchisees (primarily pancake and waffle dry mixes for the IHOP restaurants), and other franchise fees. Franchise operations expenses include advertising expense, the cost of proprietary products, pre-opening training expenses and other franchise-related costs.
Rental operations revenue includes revenue from operating leases and interest income from real estate leases. Rental operations expenses are costs of operating leases and interest expense from finance leases on which the Company is the lessee. 
Financing operations revenue primarily consists of interest income from the financing of IHOP equipment leases and franchise fees and interest income on Applebee's notes receivable from franchisees. Financing operations expenses primarily are the cost of taxes related to IHOP equipment leases.
As of March 31, 2023, the company operations segment consisted of three Fuzzy's restaurants that were acquired in December 2022. During three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company operated 69 Applebee's restaurants that were sold in October 2022. All company-operated restaurants are located in the United States. Company-operated restaurant operation revenue consists of retail sales at company operated restaurants. Company-operated restaurant operation expenses are operating expenses such as food, beverage, labor, benefits, utilities, rent and other operating costs.
