Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Business Summary and Basis of Presentation | Business Summary and Basis of Presentation Business Noodles & Company (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, develops and operates fast casual restaurants that serve globally inspired noodle and pasta dishes, soups, salads and appetizers. As of September 27, 2022, the Company had 459 restaurants system-wide in 31 states, comprised of 366 company-owned restaurants and 93 franchise restaurants. The Company operates its business as one operating and reportable segment. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Noodles & Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2021 was derived from audited financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2021. Fiscal Year The Company operates on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Tuesday closest to December 31. The Company’s fiscal quarters each contain 13 operating weeks, with the exception of the fourth quarter of a 53-week fiscal year, which contains 14 operating weeks. Fiscal year 2022, which ends on January 3, 2023 contains 53 weeks and fiscal year 2021, which ended on December 28, 2021, contained 52 weeks. The Company’s fiscal quarter that ended September 27, 2022 is referred to as the third quarter of 2022, and the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2021 is referred to as the third quarter of 2021. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectiv ely through December 31, 2022. The Company adopted this pronouncement in the third quarter of 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |

The Company impaired two restaurants during the third quarter of 2022 and four restaurants in the first three quarters of 2022. There was one restaurant impairment in the third quarter of 2021 and two restaurant impairments during the first three quarters of 2021. I mpairment is based on management’s current assessment of the expected future cash flows of a restaurant based on recent results and other specific market factors. Impairment expense is a Level 3 fair value measure and is determined by comparing the carrying value of restaurant assets to the estimated fair value of the restaurant assets at resale value and the right- of-use asset based on a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing mar ket lease rates. The Company will continue to monitor the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic as it relates to recoverability of long-lived assets. Closure costs in the third quarter of 2022 include ongoing costs related to restaurants closed in previous years as well as two company-owned restaurant closures during the first three quarters of 2022. The Company did not close any restaurants in the third quarter of 2022 . Closure costs in the third quarter of 2021 and the first three quarters of 2021 include ongoing costs related to restaurants closed in previous years as well as eight restaurant closures in the first three quarters of 2021. Loss on disposal of assets and other for the third quarter and the first three quarters of 2022 includes expenses related to the divestiture of company-owned restaurants related to the Warner Sale as well as lease related costs. Both periods include disposals of assets in the normal course of business. Loss on disposal of assets and other for the first three quarters of 2021 includes a gain on insurance proceeds from property damage. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share | Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is calculated using net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive securities include shares of common stock underlying stock options, warrants and RSUs. Diluted EPS considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except share and per share data): Fiscal Quarter Ended Three Fiscal Quarters Ended September 27, September 28, September 27, September 28, Net income (loss) $ 795 $ 4,697 $ (4,289) $ 8,403 Shares: Basic weighted average shares outstanding 46,010,824 45,635,455 45,872,893 45,414,332 Effect of dilutive securities 186,687 747,054 — 720,662 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 46,197,511 46,382,509 45,872,893 46,134,994 Earnings (loss) per share: Basic earnings (loss) per share $ 0.02 $ 0.10 $ (0.09) $ 0.19 Diluted earnings (loss) per share $ 0.02 $ 0.10 $ (0.09) $ 0.18 The Company computes the effect of dilutive securities using the treasury stock method and average market prices during the period. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share when the effect would be anti-dilutive. The shares issuable on the vesting or exercise of share-based awards that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilu tive totaled 1,810,346 and 359,211 for the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and totaled 2,364,003 and 479,494 for the first three quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Revenue Revenue consists of sales from restaurant operations, franchise royalties and fees, and sublease income. Revenue from the operation of company-owned restaurants is recognized when sales occur. The Company reports revenue net of sales tax collected from customers and remitted to governmental taxing authorities. Gift Cards The Company sells gift cards which do not have an expiration date, and it does not deduct non-usage fees from outstanding gift card balances. The Company recognizes revenue from gift cards when the gift card is redeemed by the customer or the Company determines the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote (“gift card breakage”). The determination of the gift card breakage rate is based upon Company-specific historical redemption patterns. The Company has determined that approximat ely 13% of gift ca rds will not be redeemed, and recognizes gift card breakage ratably over the estimated redemption period of the gift card, which is approximate ly 24 months. G ift card liability balances are typically highest at the end of each calendar year following increased gift card purchases during the holiday season. As of September 27, 2022 and December 28, 2021, the current portion of the gift card liability, $2.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively, was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and the long-term portion, $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, was included in other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revenue recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the redemption of gift cards was $0.8 million and $0.6 million for the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, and $2.6 million and $2.5 million for the first three quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Franchise Fees Royalties from franchise restaurants are based on a percentage of restaurant revenues and are recognized in the period the related franchised restaurants’ sales occur. Dev elopment fees and franchise fees, portions of which are collected in advance, are nonrefundable and are recognized in income ratably over the term of the related franchise agreement or recognized upon the termination of the agreement between the Company and the franchisee. The Company has determined that the initial franchise services are not distinct from the continuing rights or services offered during the term of the franchise agreement and should be treated as a single performance obligation; therefore, initial fees received from franchisees are recognized as revenue over the term of each respective franchise agreement, which is typically 20 years. Loyalty Program The Company operates the Noodles Rewards program, which is primarily a spend-based loyalty program. With each purchase, Noodles Rewards members earn loyalty points that can be redeemed for rewards, including free products. Using an estimate of the value of reward redemptions, we defer revenue associated with points earned, net of estimated points that will not be redeemed based upon the Company’s historical redemption patterns. Points generally expire after six months. Revenue is recognized in a future period when the reward points are redeemed. As of September 27, 2022 and December 28, 2021, the deferred revenue related to the rewards wa s $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and ContingenciesIn the normal course of business, the Company is subject to other proceedings, lawsuits and claims. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Consequently, the Company is unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact with respect to these matters as of September 27, 2022. These matters could affect the operating results of any one financial reporting period when resolved in future periods. The Company believes that an unfavorable outcome with respect to these matters is remote or a potential range of loss is not material to its consolidated financial statements. Significant increases in the number of these claims, or one or more successful claims that result in greater liabilities than the Company currently anticipates, could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Noodles & Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2021 was derived from audited financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectiv ely through December 31, 2022. The Company adopted this pronouncement in the third quarter of 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
