Basis Of Presentation	'
	BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
	On January 26, 2007, ARAMARK Holdings Corporation (the “Company” or “Holdings”), a Delaware corporation controlled by investment funds associated with GS Capital Partners, CCMP Capital Advisors, J.P. Morgan Partners, Thomas H. Lee Partners and Warburg Pincus LLC (collectively, the “Sponsors”), Joseph Neubauer, Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and certain other members of the Company’s management, acquired all of the outstanding shares of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, ARAMARK Corporation (“ARAMARK Corporation”), in a going-private transaction.
	On December 12, 2013, the Company began trading its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "ARMK" after its initial public offering ("IPO") of 28,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $20.00 per share (see Note 8).
	The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling financial interest is maintained. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The Company has an ownership interest in a subsidiary with a redeemable noncontrolling interest. The Company classifies redeemable noncontrolling interests outside of stockholders' equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Common Stock Subject to Repurchase and Other.” As of March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013, the redeemable noncontrolling interest related to the subsidiary was approximately $10.2 million and $10.2 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 28, 2014, net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Distributions to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $0.4 million for the six months ended March 28, 2014. For the three and six months ended March 29, 2013, net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Distributions to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $0.4 million for the six months ended March 29, 2013.
	The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes to those statements, included in the Company's prospectus, dated December 11, 2013, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, on December 12, 2013. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 27, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of the Company, the statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal, recurring nature, required for a fair presentation for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year, due to the seasonality of some of the Company’s business activities and the possibility of changes in general economic conditions.

	DIVESTITURES:
	Fiscal 2014
	McKinley Chalet Hotel
	On October 7, 2013, the Company completed the sale of its McKinley Chalet Hotel (the "Chalet") located in Denali National Park for approximately $24.0 million in cash. The transaction resulted in a pretax loss of approximately $6.7 million (net of tax loss of approximately $9.1 million), which is included in "Cost of services provided" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended March 28, 2014. The pretax loss includes a write-off of an allocation of goodwill of approximately $12.8 million (see Note 5). The results of operations and cash flows associated with the Chalet divestiture were not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows.
	Fiscal 2013
	Spin-off of Seamless Holdings Corporation
	On October 29, 2012, the Company completed the spin-off of its majority interest in Seamless North America, LLC ("Seamless") to its stockholders.
	In the spin-off, ARAMARK Corporation distributed all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Seamless Holdings Corporation (“Seamless Holdings”), an entity formed for the purpose of completing the spin-off and whose assets primarily consist of the Company's former interest in Seamless, to its parent company and sole stockholder, ARAMARK Intermediate. Thereafter, ARAMARK Intermediate distributed such shares to the Company, its parent company and sole stockholder, who then distributed all of the shares of Seamless Holdings on a pro rata basis to the holders of Holdings common stock as of October 26, 2012, the record date, through a tax-free stock dividend. Each Holdings stockholder received one share of Seamless Holdings common stock for each share of Holdings common stock held as of the record date.
	Until October 29, 2012, Seamless Holdings and its subsidiaries were part of the Company and its assets, liabilities, results of operations, and cash flows are included in the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements until that date. Following the spin-off, Seamless Holdings is an independent company and the Company retains no ownership interest in Seamless Holdings or Seamless. The Company's proforma results of operations for fiscal 2013 would not have been materially different than reported assuming the spin-off and related transactions had occurred at the beginning of the prior year period.

	SEVERANCE AND ASSET WRITE-DOWNS:
	During fiscal 2013, the Company initiated a series of actions and developed plans to drive efficiencies through the consolidation and centralization of select functions. As a result, the Company recorded charges during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 of approximately $40.8 million for severance and related costs. The Company also recorded charges of approximately $11.7 million for goodwill impairments and other asset write-downs of approximately $11.4 million primarily related to the write-offs of certain client contractual investments during the second quarter of fiscal 2013. In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, as a result of additional cost saving and productivity initiatives offset by refinements to the Company's original plans for consolidation and centralization initiatives and actual attrition of the workforce, the Company recorded additional net severance charges of approximately $1.8 million.

Goodwill And Other Intangible Assets	'
	GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
	Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized and is subject to an impairment test that the Company conducts annually or more frequently if a change in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicates that potential impairment exists, using discounted cash flows.
	Changes in total goodwill during the six months ended March 28, 2014 follow (in thousands):

	Acquisition-related intangible assets consist of customer relationship assets, the ARAMARK trade name and other trade names. Customer relationship assets are being amortized principally on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, 5 to 24 years, with a weighted average life of approximately 12 years. The ARAMARK trade name is an indefinite lived intangible asset and is not amortizable but is evaluated for impairment at least annually.
	Amortization of intangible assets for the six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 was approximately $85.5 million and $96.3 million, respectively.

Derivative Instruments	'
	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:
	The Company enters into contractual derivative arrangements to manage changes in market conditions related to interest on debt obligations, foreign currency exposures and exposure to fluctuating gasoline and diesel fuel prices. Derivative instruments utilized during the period include interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency forward exchange contracts, and gasoline and diesel fuel agreements. All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each quarter. The counterparties to the Company’s contractual derivative agreements are all major international financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company continually monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties, and does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties. For designated hedging relationships, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method of measuring ineffectiveness. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting cash flows of hedged items.
	Cash Flow Hedges
	The Company previously entered into $2.4 billion notional amount of interest rate swap agreements, fixing the rate on a like amount of variable rate borrowings. As a result of the 2014 Amendment Agreement, the Company de-designated the interest rate swap agreements as the terms of the interest rate swaps did not match the terms of the new term loans. Prior to the 2014 Amendment Agreement, these agreements met the required criteria to be designated as cash flow hedging instruments. As a result of the de-designation, the mark-to-market values of the Company's cash flow hedges included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, which was approximately $22.8 million of unrealized net of tax losses, were frozen as of the de-designation date and will be reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged transactions affect earnings. In February 2014, the Company amended the interest rate swap agreements to match the terms of the new term loans under the 2014 Amendment Agreement to meet the criteria to be designated as cash flow hedging instruments. Subsequent to March 28, 2014, the Company entered into an additional $500 million notional amount of forward starting interest rate swap agreements. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as and meets all the required criteria for a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. As of March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013, approximately ($16.6) million and ($20.5) million of unrealized net of tax losses related to the interest rate swaps were included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss,” respectively. The hedge ineffectiveness for these cash flow hedging instruments during the six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 was not material.
	The Company previously entered into a $75.4 million amortizing cross currency swap to mitigate the risk of variability in principal and interest payments on the Canadian subsidiary’s variable rate debt denominated in U.S. dollars. During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, approximately $82.7 million of amortizing cross currency swaps matured. The agreement fixes the rate on the variable rate borrowings and mitigates changes in the Canadian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate. During the six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, approximately $7.6 million and $1.5 million of unrealized net of tax gains (losses) related to the swap were added to “Accumulated other comprehensive loss,” respectively. Approximately ($5.3) million and ($4.1) million were reclassified to offset net translation gains (losses) on the foreign currency denominated debt during the six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively. As of March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013, unrealized net of tax losses of approximately ($5.7) million and ($3.5) million related to the cross currency swap were included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss,” respectively. The hedge ineffectiveness for this cash flow hedging instrument during the six months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 was not material.
	As a result of Amendment Agreement No. 3, the Company de-designated the cross currency swap that hedged the Canadian subsidiary's term loan with a maturity date of January 26, 2014. Prior to Amendment Agreement No. 3, these contracts met the required criteria to be designated as cash flow hedging instruments. As a result, approximately $3.2 million was reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to “Interest and Other Financing Costs, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the six months ended March 29, 2013.
	The following table summarizes the net of tax effect of our derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments on Comprehensive Income (Loss) (in thousands):

	Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships
	In fiscal 2013, the Company elected to de-designate the cross currency swaps as a result of Amendment Agreement No. 3. As a result, changes in the fair value of these swaps are recorded in earnings. For the three and six months ended March 28, 2014, the Company recorded a pretax gain (loss) of approximately $3.6 million and $5.8 million for the change in the fair value of these swaps in “Interest and Other Financing Costs, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 29, 2013, the Company recorded a pretax gain (loss) of approximately $1.5 million and $2.2 million for the change in the fair value of these swaps in “Interest and Other Financing Costs, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively.
	The Company entered into a series of pay fixed/receive floating gasoline and diesel fuel agreements based on the Department of Energy weekly retail on-highway index in order to limit its exposure to price fluctuations for gasoline and diesel fuel. During fiscal 2014, the Company has entered into contracts for approximately 4.9 million gallons. As of March 28, 2014, the Company has contracts for approximately 3.4 million gallons outstanding for fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015. The Company does not record its gasoline and diesel fuel agreements as hedges for accounting purposes. As such, changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in earnings. The impact on earnings related to the change in fair value of these contracts for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 were not material.
	As of March 28, 2014, the Company had foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding with notional amounts of €28.7 million, £8.2 million and CAD43.8 million to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on intercompany loans to certain international subsidiaries. Gains and losses on these foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized in income currently as the contracts were not designated as hedging instruments, substantially offsetting currency transaction gains and losses on the intercompany loans.
	The Company's interest rate swap agreements are subject to master netting arrangements, which serve as credit mitigants to both the Company and its counterparties under certain situations. The Company presents the net asset or liability position of its derivative fair values on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes the location and fair value, using Level 2 inputs, of the Company’s derivatives designated and not designated as hedging instruments in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands):

Capital Stock	'
	CAPITAL STOCK:
	On December 17, 2013, the Company completed the IPO of 28,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $20.00 per share, raising approximately $524.1 million, net of costs directly related to the IPO. GS Capital Partners and J.P. Morgan Partners received approximately $6.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively, of underwriters' discounts relating to the shares sold by the Company which were included in the costs directly related to the IPO. The Company used the net proceeds to repay borrowings on the senior secured revolving credit facility and a portion of the principal on the senior secured term loan facility (see Note 6). In addition, the Company paid cash bonuses and certain other expenses of approximately $5.0 million related to the IPO, which were included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Prior to the IPO, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement of the Company, upon termination of employment from the Company or one of its subsidiaries, members of the Company’s management (other than Mr. Neubauer) who held shares of common stock could have caused the Company to repurchase all of their initial investment shares (as defined) or shares acquired as a result of the exercise of Installment Stock Purchase Opportunities at appraised fair market value. Generally, payment for shares repurchased could have been, at the Company’s option, in cash or installment notes, which would be effectively subordinated to all indebtedness of the Company. The amount of this potential repurchase obligation had been classified outside of stockholders' equity. With the completion of the IPO, this provision was terminated. The amount of common stock subject to repurchase as of March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013 was $0 and $158.7 million, respectively.
	During the three months ended March 28, 2014, the Company paid a dividend of approximately $17.3 million to its stockholders. On May 6, 2014, the Company's Board declared a $0.075 dividend per share of common stock, payable on June 9, 2014, to shareholders of record on the close of business on May 19, 2014.

Share-Based Compensation	'
	SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:
	On November 12, 2013, the Board of Directors (the "Board") approved, and the stockholders of Holdings adopted by written consent, the ARAMARK Holdings Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Stock Plan”), which became effective on December 1, 2013. The 2013 Stock Plan provides that the total number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2013 Stock Plan is 25,500,000. In connection with the adoption of the 2013 Stock Plan, the Board approved, and the stockholders of Holdings adopted by written consent, the Fifth Amended and Restated ARAMARK Holdings Corporation 2007 Management Stock Incentive Plan (the “Fifth Amended Stock Plan”) which amended certain terms of the 2007 Management Stock Incentive Plan ("2007 MSIP") in contemplation of the IPO, including providing that no awards will be granted under the Fifth Amended Stock Plan shortly following the consummation of an initial public offering, as grants following the IPO are made under the 2013 Stock Plan.
	During the three and six months ended March 28, 2014, share-based compensation expense was approximately $27.6 million, before taxes of $10.8 million, and approximately $73.0 million, before taxes of $28.5 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 29, 2013, share-based compensation expense was approximately $4.8 million, before taxes of $1.9 million, and approximately $8.8 million, before taxes of $3.5 million, respectively.
	Stock Options
	Time-Based Options
	The Company granted 1.9 million time-based options with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $6.65 during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The compensation cost charged to expense during the three and six months ended March 28, 2014 for time-based options was approximately $3.6 million and $6.8 million, respectively. The compensation cost charged to expense during the three and six months ended March 29, 2013 for time-based options was approximately $2.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively.
	Performance-Based Options
	On November 11, 2013, the Compensation Committee approved an amendment to all outstanding 2007 MSIP Option Agreements (the “Performance Option Amendment”) modifying the vesting provisions relating to outstanding performance-based options granted under the 2007 MSIP. The Performance Option Amendment provides that in the event of an initial public offering of Holdings, subject to continued employment on such date, 50% of any then-unvested performance-based options that did not meet applicable performance thresholds in prior years (the “Missed Year Options”) will become vested if the initial public offering price for the common stock of Holdings equals or exceeds $20.00 per share. In addition, during the 18 month period following the initial public offering, if the closing trading price for common stock of Holdings equals or exceeds $25.00 per share over any consecutive twenty day trading period, 100% of the Missed Year Options will become vested. There were a total of approximately 5.0 million Missed Year Options which fully vested in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as all performance targets were met. The fair values of the Missed Year Options were valued at the award modification date using a Monte-Carlo option model, which simulates a range of possible future stock prices and estimates the probabilities of meeting the modified vesting provision of the trading price for the common stock of Holdings equaling or exceeding $25.00 per share over any consecutive twenty day trading period during the 18 month period following the initial public offering. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of the Missed Year Options: estimated volatility (30%), expected dividend yield (1.5%), expected life (3-8 years) and risk-free rate (0.66%-2.63%). The weighted-average fair value of the Missed Year Options modified on November 11, 2013 was $10.19 per option.
	During the three and six months ended March 28, 2014, the Company recognized a charge to expense of approximately $16.3 million and $55.4 million for performance-based options, respectively. These amounts include approximately $14.0 million and $50.9 million related to the Missed Year Options that were modified, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 29, 2013, $2.1 million and $3.4 million was charged to expense for performance-based options, respectively.
	Installment Stock Purchase Opportunities (“ISPOs”)
	The Company recorded approximately $0.5 million and $1.2 million of compensation expense related to ISPOs and the exchanged restricted stock and non-qualified stock options during the three and six months ended March 28, 2014, respectively. The Company recorded approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million of compensation expense related to ISPOs during the three and six months ended March 29, 2013, respectively.

	The Restricted Stock Unit Agreement provides for grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), 25% of which will vest and be settled in shares on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the participant’s continued employment with the Company through each such anniversary. The grant-date fair value of RSUs is based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock. Participants holding RSUs will receive the benefit of any dividends paid on shares in the form of additional RSUs. The unvested RSUs are subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated other than due to death, disability or retirement, and the units are nontransferable while subject to forfeiture.
	The Company granted 2,048,785 RSUs during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 at a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $20.45. Compensation expense for RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period during which employees perform related services. The compensation cost charged to expense during the three and six months ended March 28, 2014 for RSUs was approximately $4.0 million and $6.3 million, respectively.
	Performance Stock Units
	Under the 2013 Stock Plan, the Company is authorized to grant Performance Stock Units ("PSUs") to its employees. A participant is eligible to become vested in a number of PSUs equal to a percentage, higher or lower, of the target number of PSUs granted based on the level of the Company’s achievement of performance conditions. The first 33% of the award will vest if and when the Company achieves these performance conditions while the remaining 67% will generally vest ratably over the next two anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the achievement of the performance condition in the first year of grant and the participant's continued employment with the Company through each such anniversary. The grant-date fair value of the PSUs is based on the fair value of the Company's common stock.
	On December 20, 2013, the Company granted 466,763 PSUs with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $23.92 with performance conditions based upon the achievement of a level of earnings per share. The compensation cost charged to expense during the six months ended March 28, 2014 for PSUs was approximately $1.8 million.
	Deferred Stock Units
	The Company granted 60,088 deferred stock units during the six months ended March 28, 2014. The compensation cost charged to expense during the three and six months ended March 28, 2014 for deferred stock units was approximately $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The Company granted 42,462 deferred stock units during the six months ended March 29, 2013. The compensation cost charged to expense during the three and six months ended March 29, 2013 for deferred stock units was approximately $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Accounts Receivable Securitization	'
	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION:
	The Company has an agreement (the "Receivables Facility") with several financial institutions whereby it sells on a continuous basis an undivided interest in all eligible trade accounts receivable, as defined in the Receivables Facility. The maximum amount available under the facility is $300 million, which expires in January 2015. Pursuant to the Receivables Facility, the Company formed ARAMARK Receivables, LLC, a wholly-owned, consolidated, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. ARAMARK Receivables, LLC was formed for the sole purpose of buying and selling receivables generated by certain subsidiaries of the Company. Under the Receivables Facility, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries transfer without recourse all of their accounts receivable to ARAMARK Receivables, LLC. As collections reduce previously transferred interests, interests in new, eligible receivables are transferred to ARAMARK Receivables, LLC, subject to meeting certain conditions. At March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013, the amount of outstanding borrowings under the Receivables Facility was $300.0 million and $300.0 million and is included in “Long-Term Borrowings,” respectively.
	In May 2014, the Company amended the Receivables Facility to increase the maximum amount to $350.0 million and extend the maturity date to May 2017. In addition, the Receivable Facility will now include a seasonal tranche which will increase the capacity of the Receivable Facility by $25.0 million.

New Accounting Standard Updates	'
	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD UPDATES:
	In December 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update (“ASU”) that requires companies with financial instruments and derivative instruments that are offset on the balance sheet or subject to a master netting arrangement to provide additional disclosures regarding the instruments impact on a company’s financial position. In January 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to clarify the scope of this ASU. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued an ASU which requires companies to disclose information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). Companies also are required to present reclassifications by component when reporting changes in AOCI balances. For significant items reclassified out of AOCI to net income in their entirety in the period, companies must report the effect of the reclassifications on the respective line items in the statement where net income is presented. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued an ASU which requires unrecognized tax benefits to be offset against a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward in certain situations. The guidance will likely change the balance sheet presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.
	In January 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which states that companies should not account for certain service concession arrangements with public-sector entities as leases and should not recognize the related infrastructure as property, plant and equipment. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

Commitments And Contingencies	'
	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
	Certain of the Company’s lease arrangements, primarily vehicle leases, with terms of one to eight years, contain provisions related to residual value guarantees. The maximum potential liability to the Company under such arrangements was approximately $128.1 million at March 28, 2014 if the terminal fair value of vehicles coming off lease was zero. Consistent with past experience, management does not expect any significant payments will be required pursuant to these arrangements. No amounts have been accrued for guarantee arrangements at March 28, 2014.
	From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are a party to various legal actions and investigations involving claims incidental to the conduct of its business, including actions by clients, customers, employees, government entities and third parties, including under federal, state, international, national, provincial and local employment laws, wage and hour laws, discrimination laws, immigration laws, human health and safety laws, import and export controls and customs laws, environmental laws, false claims or whistleblower statutes, minority, women and disadvantaged business enterprise statutes, tax codes, antitrust and competition laws, consumer protection statutes, procurement regulations, intellectual property laws, food safety and sanitation laws, cost and accounting principles, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, other anti-corruption laws, lobbying laws, motor carrier safety laws, data privacy laws and alcohol licensing and service laws, or alleging negligence and/or breaches of contractual and other obligations. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, available insurance coverage, established reserves and other resources, the Company does not believe that any such actions are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Of Assets And Liabilities	'
	FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES:
	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 at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are classified based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The hierarchical levels related to the subjectivity of the valuation inputs are defined as follows:
	•	Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets
	•	Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument
	•	Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement
	Recurring Fair Value Measurements
	The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings and derivatives. Management believes that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values. In conjunction with the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative instruments, that are subject to master netting agreements, on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. The fair value of the Company’s debt at March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013 was $5,694.8 million and $5,854.9 million, respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s debt at March 28, 2014 and September 27, 2013 was $5,637.5 million and $5,824.1 million, respectively. The fair values were computed using market quotes, if available, or based on discounted cash flows using market interest rates as of the end of the respective periods. The inputs utilized in estimating the fair value of the Company's debt has been classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy levels.
	During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company's obligation to repurchase shares was eliminated (see Note 8). The following table presents the changes in the Company's common stock subject to repurchase for which level 3 inputs were significant to their valuation for the six months ended March 28, 2014 (in thousands):
