Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	References to “Brinker,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” in this Form 10-Q are references to Brinker International, Inc., its subsidiaries, and any predecessor companies of Brinker International, Inc. Nature of Operations Our Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 26, 2018 and June 27, 2018, and for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 26, 2018 and December 27, 2017, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We are principally engaged in the ownership, operation, development, and franchising of the Chili’s^® Grill & Bar (“Chili’s”) and Maggiano’s Little Italy^® (“Maggiano’s”) restaurant brands. At December 26, 2018, we owned, operated or franchised 1,685 restaurants, consisting of 995 company-owned restaurants and 690 franchised restaurants, located in the United States and 30 countries and two United States territories. Basis of Presentation The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The foreign currency translation adjustment included in Comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income represents the unrealized impact of translating the financial statements of our Canadian restaurants and our Mexican joint venture (prior to divestiture in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, see Note 11 - Shareholders’ Deficit for more details) from their respective functional currencies to U.S. dollars. This amount is not included in Net income and would only be realized upon disposition of the businesses. The Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) is presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary to fairly state the interim operating results, financial position and cash flows for the respective periods. However, these operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s June 27, 2018 Form 10-K. We believe the disclosures are sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes. All amounts within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in millions unless otherwise specified. New Accounting Standards Implemented ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, and subsequently amended this update by issuing additional ASU’s that provide clarification and further guidance around areas identified as potential implementation issues. These updates provide a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. These updates also require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. These updates are effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, which required us to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Please refer to Note 2 - Revenue Recognition for disclosures about our adoption. ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230) - In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, this update provides clarification regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This update is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, which required us to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The update was applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements or debt covenants. ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment - In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, this update eliminates step two of the goodwill impairment analysis. Companies will no longer be required to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, they will measure impairment as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. This update is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed with measurement dates after January 1, 2017. We elected to early adopt this guidance as of September 27, 2018. The guidance was adopted prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements for disclosure about goodwill impairment. The impact of additional accounting standards updates that have not yet been adopted can be found at Note 14 - Effect of New Accounting Standards.
