Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXESThe income tax provisions reflect effective tax rate of 34.8% in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 33.3% in the prior year, and 29.6% for the year-to-date period, compared with 27.8% in the same period in fiscal year 2022. The major components of the year-over-year increase in tax rates were the impact of estimated disposals of non-deductible goodwill attributable to refranchising transactions, partially offset by non-taxable gains in the current year as opposed to non-deductible losses in the prior year from the market performance of insurance products used to fund certain non-qualified retirement plans and non-deductible transaction costs resulting from the Del Taco acquisition recorded in the prior year.
