Restructuring costs — Since the beginning of 2012, we have been engaged in efforts to improve our cost structure and identify opportunities to reduce general and administrative expenses as well as improve profitability across both brands. The following is a summary of the costs incurred in connection with these activities (in thousands):

	Quarter				Year-to-date
	July 5, 2015		July 6, 2014		July 5, 2015		July 6, 2014
Severance costs	$	10	$	468	$	29	$	1,864
Other	—		93		—		6,486
	$	10	$	561	$	29	$	8,350

In 2014, other costs represents an impairment charge recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 related to a restaurant software asset we no longer planned to place in service as we integrate certain systems across both of our brands. We may incur additional charges related to our restructuring activities; however, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate at this time.
