Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Business Description. Fiesta Restaurant Group, Inc. ("Fiesta Restaurant Group" or "Fiesta") owns, operates and franchises Pollo Tropical restaurants through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Pollo Operations, Inc. and Pollo Franchise, Inc. (collectively "Pollo Tropical"). Unless the context otherwise requires, Fiesta and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the "Company." At April 2, 2023, the Company owned and operated 137 Pollo Tropical ® restaurants located in Florida and franchised a total of 30 Pollo Tropical restaurants. The franchised Pollo Tropical restaurants include 17 in Puerto Rico, two in Panama, one in Guyana, one in the Bahamas, six on college campuses in Florida, and locations at one hospital and two sports and entertainment stadiums in Florida. The Company operates its business as one operating and reportable segment. Discontinued Operations. Fiesta owned, operated and franchised Taco Cabana restaurants through its wholly-owned subsidiary Taco Cabana, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively "Taco Cabana") through August 15, 2021. On August 16, 2021, the Company completed the sale of Taco Cabana. See Note 2—Dispositions. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the Company's continuing operations. Basis of Consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Fiesta and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Fiscal Year . The Company uses a 52–53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. The fiscal year ended January 1, 2023 contained 52 weeks. The three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022 each contained thirteen weeks, respectively. The fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 will contain 52 weeks. Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022 have been prepared without an audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include certain information and footnotes required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended January 1, 2023 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023. The January 1, 2023 balance sheet data is derived from those audited financial statements. Reclassification. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company received in exchange for those products or services. Revenues from the Company's owned and operated restaurants are recognized when payment is tendered at the time of sale. Franchise royalty revenues are based on a percentage of gross sales and are recorded as income when earned. Initial franchise fees and area development fees associated with new franchise agreements are not distinct from the continuing rights and services offered by the Company during the term of the related franchise agreements and are recognized as income over the term of the related franchise agreements. A portion of the initial franchise fee is allocated to training services and is recognized as revenue when the Company completes the training services. Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date under current market conditions. In determining fair value, the accounting standards establish a three-level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable and reflect management's own assumptions. The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value: • Current Assets and Liabilities. The carrying values reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets of cash and restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those financial instruments. • Revolving Credit Borrowings. The fair value of outstanding revolving credit borrowings under the Company's senior credit facility, which is considered Level 2, is based on current LIBOR rates. There were no outstanding revolving credit borrowings under the Company's senior credit facility as of April 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023. See Note 4 for discussion of the fair value measurement of non-financial assets. Long-Lived Assets . The Company assesses the recoverability of property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, including right-of-use ("ROU") lease assets, by determining whether the carrying value of these assets can be recovered over their respective remaining lives through undiscounted future operating cash flows. Impairment is reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. See Note 4—Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Other Lease Charges (Recoveries). Leases. The Company assesses whether an agreement contains a lease at inception. All leases are reviewed for finance or operating classification once control is obtained. The majority of the Company's leases are operating leases. Operating leases are included within operating lease right-of-use assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included within property and equipment, net, current portion of long-term debt, and long-term debt, net of current portion in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made in advance and is reduced by lease incentives received. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company assumes options are reasonably certain to be exercised when such options are required to achieve a minimum 20-year lease term for new restaurant properties and when it incurs significant leasehold improvement costs near the end of a lease term. The Company uses judgment and available data to allocate consideration in a contract when it leases land and a building. The Company also uses judgment in determining its incremental borrowing rate, which includes selecting a yield curve based on a synthetic credit rating determined using a valuation model. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless the related ROU asset has been adjusted for an impairment charge. The Company has real estate lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. |

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] | |
Dispositions | Dispositions On June 30, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock purchase agreement, which was subsequently entered into by the Company on July 1, 2021, for the sale of all of the outstanding capital stock of Taco Cabana, Inc., including nearly all related assets and liabilities, for a cash purchase price of $85.0 million subject to reduction for (i) closing adjustments of approximately $4.6 million and (ii) certain other working capital adjustments as set forth in the stock purchase agreement. The transaction was completed August 16, 2021. The Company filed an insurance claim for winter storm damages in Texas that occurred in the first quarter of 2021 and retained the right to receive the insurance claim proceeds. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company executed a final settlement on the claim and recognized $0.4 million of insurance proceeds within income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the three months ended April 2, 2023. All revenues, costs and expenses and income taxes attributable to Taco Cabana, together with certain costs related to the transaction, have been aggregated within income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The Company retained certain closed Taco Cabana restaurant leases, including the associated operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. The Company also retained liability for Taco Cabana's accrued worker's compensation and general liability claims for periods prior to the sale. These liabilities are recognized in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As there are estimates and assumptions inherent in recording these insurance liabilities, including the ability to estimate the future development of incurred claims based on historical trends or the severity of the claims, differences between actual future events and prior estimates and assumptions could result in adjustments to these liabilities. During the three months ended April 2, 2023, the Company recognized $0.4 million of income related to insurance proceeds for winter storm damages in Texas that occurred in the first quarter of 2021, and $0.2 million of expenses primarily related to workers' compensation claims within income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the three months ended April 3, 2022, the Company recognized $0.2 million of expenses primarily related to workers' compensation claims, and a reduction of stock-based compensation of $(0.1) million within loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. |

Property, Plant and Equipment [Abstract] | |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Other Lease Charges | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Other Lease Charges (Recoveries) The Company reviews its long-lived assets, principally property and equipment and lease ROU assets, for impairment at the restaurant level. The Company has elected to exclude operating lease payments and liabilities from future cash flows and carrying values, respectively, in its impairment review. In addition to considering management's plans, known regulatory or governmental actions and damage due to acts of God (hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.), the Company considers a triggering event to have occurred related to a specific restaurant if the restaurant's cash flows, exclusive of operating lease payments, for the last twelve months are less than a minimum threshold or if consistent levels of cash flows for the remaining lease period are less than the carrying value of the restaurant's assets. If an indicator of impairment exists for any of its assets, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows, exclusive of operating lease payments, over the life of the primary asset for each restaurant is compared to that long-lived asset group's carrying value, excluding operating lease liabilities. If the carrying value is greater than the undiscounted cash flow, the Company then determines the fair value of the asset and if an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. There is uncertainty in the projected undiscounted future cash flows used in the Company's impairment review analysis. If actual performance does not achieve the projections, the Company may recognize impairment charges in future periods, and such charges could be material. A summary of impairment of long-lived assets and other lease charges (recoveries) is as follows: Three Months Ended April 2, 2023 April 3, 2022 Impairment of long-lived assets $ 1,402 $ — Other lease charges (recoveries) 854 (702) $ 2,256 $ (702) Impairment charges for the three months ended April 2, 2023 related primarily to impairment of assets from four underperforming Pollo Tropical restaurants, three of which were subsequently closed in the second quarter of 2023, for which continued performance declines resulted in a decrease in the estimated future cash flows. For the three months ended April 2, 2023, other lease charges (recoveries) consist of lease termination charges related to the reduction of the Company's corporate office space. Other lease charges (recoveries) for the three months ended April 3, 2022 related primarily to gains from lease terminations. |

A summary of all non-vested restricted shares and restricted stock units activity for the three months ended April 2, 2023 is as follows: Non-Vested Shares Restricted Stock Units Shares Weighted Units Weighted Outstanding at January 1, 2023 617,747 $ 9.61 103,814 $ 12.09 Granted 214,695 8.19 — — Vested and released (288,152) 10.04 — — Forfeited (9,369) 11.15 — — Outstanding at April 2, 2023 534,921 $ 8.79 103,814 $ 12.09 The fair value of non-vested restricted shares and restricted stock units granted during the three months ended April 2, 2023 is based on the closing stock price on the date of grant. During the three months ended April 2, 2023, 288,152 non-vested restricted shares vested. A portion of these vested stock awards were net share settled. Based upon the Company's closing stock price on the vesting date, the Company withheld 63,774 shares related to previously non-vested restricted shares to settle the employees' minimum statutory obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes upon vesting of such restricted shares. Subsequently, the Company remitted the required funds to the appropriate taxing authorities. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share | Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Non-vested restricted shares contain a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends on a one-to-one per share ratio to common shares and are thus considered participating securities. The impact of the participating securities is included in the computation of basic EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method of computing EPS is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings attributable to common shares and participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. EPS is computed by dividing undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and non-vested restricted shares based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the restricted stock units were to be converted into common shares. Restricted stock units with performance conditions are only included in the diluted EPS calculation to the extent that performance conditions have been met at the measurement date. Diluted EPS is computed by adjusting the basic weighted average number of common shares by the dilutive effect of the restricted stock units, determined using the treasury stock method. All outstanding restricted stock units in the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022 were performance-based awards which had not yet met their performance conditions as of April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022, respectively. The computation of basic and diluted EPS is as follows: Three Months Ended April 2, 2023 April 3, 2022 Basic and diluted EPS: Loss from continuing operations $ (2,144) $ (1,301) Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax 235 (55) Net loss $ (1,909) $ (1,356) Less: income allocated to participating securities — — Net loss available to common shareholders $ (1,909) $ (1,356) Weighted average common shares—basic 25,420,090 24,832,541 Restricted stock units — — Weighted average common shares—diluted 25,420,090 24,832,541 Earnings (loss) from continuing operations per common share—basic $ (0.09) $ (0.05) Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations per common share—basic 0.01 — Earnings (loss) per common share—basic $ (0.08) $ (0.05) Earnings (loss) from continuing operations per common share—diluted $ (0.09) $ (0.05) Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations per common share—diluted 0.01 — Earnings (loss) per common share—diluted $ (0.08) $ (0.05) |

Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Lease Assignments . In previous years, Pollo Tropical assigned two leases to third parties on properties where it no longer operates with lease terms expiring in 2033 and 2036. Although the assignees are responsible for making the payments required by the lease, the Company is a guarantor under the leases. The maximum potential liability for future rental payments that the Company could be required to make under these leases at April 2, 2023 was $4.3 million. The Company could also be obligated to pay property taxes and other lease-related costs. The obligations under these leases will generally continue to decrease over time as the operating leases expire. The Company does not believe it is probable that it will be ultimately responsible for the obligations under these leases. Indemnity of Lease Guarantees. As discussed in Note 2—Dispositions, Taco Cabana, Inc., a former wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was sold in the third quarter of 2021 to YTC Enterprises LLC ("YTC Enterprises") through a stock purchase agreement. The Company's previous owners, Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. ("Carrols") remains a guarantor under 12 Taco Cabana restaurant property leases with lease terms expiring on various dates through 2030, all of which are still operating, as of April 2, 2023. The Company has indemnified Carrols for all obligations under the guarantees per the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement entered into in connection with the spin-off of Fiesta. The Company remains liable for all obligations under the terms of the leases in the event YTC Enterprises fails to pay any sums due under the lease, subject to indemnification provisions under the stock purchase agreement. The maximum potential amount of future undiscounted rental payments the Company could be required to make under these leases at April 2, 2023 was $6.4 million. The obligations under these leases will generally continue to decrease over time as these operating leases expire, except for any execution of renewal options that exist under the original leases. No payments related to these guarantees have been made by the Company to date and none are expected to be required to be made in the future. YTC Enterprises has indemnified the Company for all such obligations and the Company does not believe it is probable it will be required to perform under any of the guarantees or direct obligations. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Consolidation | Basis of Consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Fiesta and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Fiscal Year | Fiscal Year . The Company uses a 52–53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. The fiscal year ended January 1, 2023 contained 52 weeks. The three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022 each contained thirteen weeks, respectively. The fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 will contain 52 weeks. |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022 have been prepared without an audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include certain information and footnotes required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. |
Reclassification | Reclassification. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company received in exchange for those products or services. Revenues from the Company's owned and operated restaurants are recognized when payment is tendered at the time of sale. Franchise royalty revenues are based on a percentage of gross sales and are recorded as income when earned. Initial franchise fees and area development fees associated with new franchise agreements are not distinct from the continuing rights and services offered by the Company during the term of the related franchise agreements and are recognized as income over the term of the related franchise agreements. A portion of the initial franchise fee is allocated to training services and is recognized as revenue when the Company completes the training services. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date under current market conditions. In determining fair value, the accounting standards establish a three-level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable and reflect management's own assumptions. The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value: • Current Assets and Liabilities. The carrying values reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets of cash and restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those financial instruments. • Revolving Credit Borrowings. |
Long-Lived Assets | Long-Lived Assets. The Company assesses the recoverability of property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, including right-of-use ("ROU") lease assets, by determining whether the carrying value of these assets can be recovered over their respective remaining lives through undiscounted future operating cash flows. Impairment is reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. |
Leases | Leases. The Company assesses whether an agreement contains a lease at inception. All leases are reviewed for finance or operating classification once control is obtained. The majority of the Company's leases are operating leases. Operating leases are included within operating lease right-of-use assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included within property and equipment, net, current portion of long-term debt, and long-term debt, net of current portion in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 dates of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include: insurance liabilities, evaluation for impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, lease accounting matters, and deferred income tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | The Company reviews its long-lived assets, principally property and equipment and lease ROU assets, for impairment at the restaurant level. The Company has elected to exclude operating lease payments and liabilities from future cash flows and carrying values, respectively, in its impairment review. In addition to considering management's plans, known regulatory or governmental actions and damage due to acts of God (hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.), the Company considers a triggering event to have occurred related to a specific restaurant if the restaurant's cash flows, exclusive of operating lease payments, for the last twelve months are less than a minimum threshold or if consistent levels of cash flows for the remaining lease period are less than the carrying value of the restaurant's assets. If an indicator of impairment exists for any of its assets, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows, exclusive of operating lease payments, over the life of the primary asset for each restaurant is compared to that long-lived asset group's carrying value, excluding operating lease liabilities. If the carrying value is greater than the undiscounted cash flow, the Company then determines the fair value of the asset and if an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. There is uncertainty in the projected undiscounted future cash flows used in the Company's impairment review analysis. If actual performance does not achieve the projections, the Company may recognize impairment charges in future periods, and such charges could be material. |
Purchase of Treasury Stock | Purchase of Treasury StockIn 2018, the Company's board of directors approved a share repurchase program for up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock. In 2019, the Company's board of directors approved increases to the share repurchase program of an additional 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock for an aggregate approval of 3,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Under the share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The share repurchase program has no time limit and may be modified, suspended, superseded or terminated at any time by the Company's board of directors. The Company repurchased 14,746 shares of common stock valued at approximately $0.2 million during the three months ended April 3, 2022. As of April 2, 2023, 137,462 shares of common stock remain available for purchase under the share repurchase program. Additionally, as a result of net share settlement to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements in connection with the vesting of restricted stock grants for certain employees, the Company repurchased 63,774 shares of common stock valued at approximately $0.5 million during the three months ended April 2, 2023. The repurchased shares are held as treasury stock at cost. |
Earnings per Share | Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Non-vested restricted shares contain a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends on a one-to-one per share ratio to common shares and are thus considered participating securities. The impact of the participating securities is included in the computation of basic EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method of computing EPS is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings attributable to common shares and participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. EPS is computed by dividing undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and non-vested restricted shares based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the restricted stock units were to be converted into common shares. Restricted stock units with performance conditions are only included in the diluted EPS calculation to the extent that performance conditions have been met at the measurement date. Diluted EPS is computed by adjusting the basic weighted |
