Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXESThe income tax provisions reflect effective tax rate of 32.6% in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to 28.8% in the third quarter of 2022, as well as 30.4% for the year-to-date period in 2023, compared with 28.1% in the same period in fiscal year 2022. The major components of the year-over-year increase in tax rates were the annual impact of both actual and 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.
