Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Aramark (the “Company”) is a leading global provider of food, facilities and uniform services to education, healthcare, business & industry, and sports, leisure & corrections clients. The Company's core market is North America (composed of the United States and Canada), which is supplemented by an additional 19 -country footprint serving many of the fastest growing global geographies. The Company operates its business in three reportable segments that share many of the same operating characteristics: Food and Support Services North America ("FSS North America"), Food and Support Services International ("FSS International") and Uniform and Career Apparel ("Uniform"). 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 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 1, 2015. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 2, 2015 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. 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. New Accounting Standard Updates In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standard update ("ASU") to update several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences and classification of awards. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement. In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets and to disclose key information about lease arrangements. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement. In January 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement. In November 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes to require all deferred tax liabilities and assets to be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The company adopted the guidance in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 on a prospective basis, resulting in a reclassification of approximately $18.1 million from "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" to "Deferred Income Taxes and Other Noncurrent Liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In July 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement. In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU on debt issuance costs which requires presentation on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt discounts, and will no longer be recorded as a separate asset. The Company adopted the retrospective guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 (see note 5). In June 2014, the FASB issued an ASU on stock compensation which requires that a performance target affecting vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement relative to its stock incentive awards. In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU on revenue from contracts with customers which outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year, but to permit entities to adopt one year earlier if they choose (i.e., the original effective date). The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. 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 Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes all changes to stockholders' equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by and distributions to stockholders. Components of comprehensive income include net income (loss), changes in foreign currency translation adjustments (net of tax), pension plan adjustments (net of tax), changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges (net of tax) and changes to the share of any equity investees' comprehensive income (net of tax).

The Company recorded a loss of approximately $5.1 million related to the sale and other asset write-offs, which is included in "Cost of services provided" in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $8.7 million , which is included in "Cost of services provided" in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income, to write down the book value of the building to its fair value. Other Assets Other assets consist primarily of investments in 50% or less owned entities, client contract investments, computer software costs and long-term receivables. Client contract investments generally represent a cash payment provided by the Company to help finance improvement or renovation at the facility from which the Company operates. These amounts are amortized over the contract period. If a contract is terminated prior to its maturity date, the Company is generally reimbursed for the unamortized client contract investment amount. Client contract investments, net of accumulated amortization, were $811.1 million and $782.7 million as of July 1, 2016 and October 2, 2015 , respectively. The Company’s principal equity method investment is its 50% ownership interest in AIM Services Co., Ltd., a Japanese food and support services company (approximately $177.7 million and $152.5 million at July 1, 2016 and October 2, 2015 , respectively, which is included in “Other Assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets). Summarized financial information for AIM Services Co., Ltd. follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended July 1, 2016 July 3, 2015 Sales $ 396,492 $ 340,527 Gross profit 47,742 38,683 Net income 10,396 5,785 Nine Months Ended July 1, 2016 July 3, 2015 Sales $ 1,088,311 $ 1,029,733 Gross profit 124,343 113,304 Net income 22,312 17,058 The period to period comparisons of the summarized financial information for AIM Services Co., Ltd., presented in U.S. dollars above, are significantly impacted by currency translation.

As a result of the retrospective adoption, approximately $27.7 million of debt issuance costs were reclassified from "Other Assets" to "Long-Term Borrowings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, as of October 2, 2015 . During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company repaid a U.S. dollar denominated term loan of a Canadian subsidiary that had been borrowed under the Company's senior secured credit agreement and was due in July 2016 in the amount of $74.1 million . During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company made an optional prepayment of $60.0 million of outstanding term loans under its senior secured term loan facility, due September 2019 (the "2019 Term Loans"). During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company extended the terms of the $350 million Receivables Facility from May 2017 to May 2019. The terms and conditions remain largely consistent and the additional seasonal capacity of the Receivables Facility increases from $25.0 million to $50.0 million from September to March and May to June. On December 17, 2015, Aramark Services, Inc. ("the Issuer"), a subsidiary of the Company, issued $400 million of 5.125% Senior Notes (the "Original 2024 Notes"), due January 15, 2024, pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 17, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”), entered into by the Issuer, certain other Aramark entities, as guarantors of the Original 2024 Notes and the Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The Original 2024 Notes were issued at par and the net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes and to reduce the outstanding balance under the Company's revolving credit facility. The Company paid approximately $6.0 million in financing fees related to the Original 2024 Notes. On May 31, 2016, the Issuer issued $1,000 million principal amount of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $500 million of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "New 2024 Notes") and $500 million of 4.75% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes" and, together with the New 2024 Notes, the "Issued Notes"). The New 2024 Notes constitute a further issuance of the Original 2024 Notes (together with the New 2024 Notes, the "2024 Notes" and, together with the Issued Notes, the "Notes"). The New 2024 Notes were issued pursuant to the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the supplemental indenture, dated as of May 31, 2016 (the "Supplemental Indenture"), entered into by the Issuer, certain other Aramark entities, as guarantors of the New 2024 Notes and the Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The 2026 Notes were issued pursuant to the indenture, dated as of May 31, 2016 (the "2026 Notes Indenture"), entered into by the Issuer, certain other Aramark entities, as guarantors of the 2026 Notes and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The New 2024 Notes were issued at a premium of $18.8 million , which creates an effective yield of 4.6% . The premium was recorded to "Long-Term Borrowings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized to "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income until maturity in 2024. The 2026 Notes were issued at par. The net proceeds from the Issued Notes and premium from the New 2024 Notes were used to redeem $194.1 million of 2019 Term Loans, repay $771.2 million principal of 5.75% senior notes, due March 2020 (the "2020 Notes"), pay a $22.2 million call premium on the 2020 Notes, pay $11.1 million of accrued interest on the 2020 Notes and fees and costs associated with the Issued Notes. As a result of the issuance of the Issued Notes, the Company recorded charges of approximately $30.2 million , to "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, consisting of $22.2 million for the call premium on the 2020 Notes and $8.0 million of non-cash charges for the write-off of debt issuance costs and debt discount on the 2020 Notes and 2019 Term Loans. The Company also paid approximately $14.2 million in debt issuance costs spread evenly between the Issued Notes, which were recorded as a reduction to "Long-Term Borrowings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. The Notes rank equal in right of payment to all of the Issuer’s existing and future senior debt. The Notes are guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by the Company and substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of the Issuer. The Notes and guarantees are effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured debt of the Issuer and the guarantors, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of any of the Issuer's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes. Interest on the 2024 Notes is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year. Interest on the 2026 Notes will be payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Base Indenture, Supplemental Indenture and 2026 Notes Indenture contain covenants limiting the Company's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; pay dividends and make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments; create certain liens; sell assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; limit the ability of restricted subsidiaries to make payments to the Company; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; merge, consolidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company's assets; and designate the Company's subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. They also provide for events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes to become or to be declared due and payable. Registration Rights Agreement On May 31, 2016, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “New 2024 Notes Registration Rights Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representative of the several initial purchasers, with respect to the New 2024 Notes and a registration rights agreement (the "2026 Notes Registration Rights Agreement" and together with the New 2024 Notes Registration Agreement, the "Registration Rights Agreements") with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representative of several initial purchasers, with respect to the 2026 Notes. In each of the Registration Rights Agreements, the Issuer agreed to (1) file an exchange offer registration statement pursuant to which the Issuer will offer exchange notes with terms identical in all material respects to, and evidencing the same indebtedness as, the applicable series of Issued Notes, in exchange for such series of Issued Notes (but which exchange notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or provide for the additional interest described below); and (2) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the exchange offer registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Issuer has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the exchange offer to be consummated or, if required, to have one or more shelf registration statements declared effective, within 270 days after the issue date of the Issued Notes. If the Company fails to satisfy this obligation (a “registration default”), the annual interest rate on the New 2024 Notes or the 2026 Notes, as applicable, will increase by 0.25% . The annual interest rate on the New 2024 Notes or the 2026 Notes, as applicable will increase by an additional 0.25% for each subsequent 90-day period during which the registration default continues, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.00% per year over the applicable interest rate in the Supplemental Indenture or 2026 Notes Indenture, as applicable. If the registration default is corrected, the applicable interest rate on the New 2024 Notes or the 2026 Notes, as applicable, will revert to the original level.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
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 has $2.4 billion notional amount of outstanding interest rate swap agreements, fixing the rate on a like amount of variable rate borrowings. During the nine month period of fiscal 2016, $0.5 billion of interest rate swap agreements matured. 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 July 1, 2016 and October 2, 2015, approximately ($41.9) million and ($43.3) 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 nine months ended July 1, 2016 and July 3, 2015 was not material. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company repaid a U.S. dollar denominated term loan of a Canadian subsidiary in the amount of $74.1 million . As a result of this repayment, the Company terminated its $74.1 million of outstanding amortizing cross currency swap agreements, which resulted in a pre-tax charge of approximately $1.1 million recorded to "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended July 1, 2016. The termination of these agreements resulted in the Company receiving $5.7 million of proceeds. The following table summarizes the net of tax effect of our derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments on Comprehensive Income (in thousands): Three Months Ended July 1, 2016 July 3, 2015 Interest rate swap agreements $ (228 ) $ 7,029 Cross currency swap agreements — (536 ) $ (228 ) $ 6,493 Nine Months Ended July 1, 2016 July 3, 2015 Interest rate swap agreements $ 4,225 $ (10,036 ) Cross currency swap agreements (2,074 ) 8,992 $ 2,151 $ (1,044 ) Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships 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 the nine month period of fiscal 2016, the Company entered into contracts for approximately 34.7 million gallons. As of July 1, 2016 , the Company has contracts for approximately 36.5 million gallons outstanding for fiscal 2016, fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018. The Company does not record its gasoline and diesel fuel agreements as hedges for accounting purposes. The impact on earnings related to the change in fair value of these unsettled contracts was a gain of approximately $10.7 million and $7.9 million for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016 , respectively. The impact on earnings related to the change in fair value of these unsettled contracts for the three and nine months ended July 3, 2015 was a gain of approximately $2.9 million and $0.2 million , respectively. The change in fair value for unsettled contracts is included in “Selling and general corporate expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. When the contracts settle, the gain or loss is recorded to “Costs of services provided” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of July 1, 2016 , the Company had foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding with notional amounts of €31.1 million , £59.9 million and CAD 145.5 million to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on short-term intercompany loans to certain international subsidiaries. Gains and losses on these foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized in income as the contracts were not designated as hedging instruments, substantially offsetting currency transaction gains and losses on the short-term intercompany loans and the net impact was not material.

Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of share-based awards. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company's stockholders (in thousands, except per share data): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended July 1, 2016 July 3, 2015 July 1, 2016 July 3, 2015 Earnings: Net income attributable to Aramark stockholders $44,765 $33,761 $204,462 $179,081 Shares: Basic weighted-average shares outstanding 242,831 238,718 241,740 236,933 Effect of dilutive securities 6,226 8,506 6,582 9,102 Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding 249,057 247,224 248,322 246,035 Basic Earnings Per Share: Net income attributable to Aramark stockholders $0.18 $0.14 $0.85 $0.76 Diluted Earnings Per Share: Net income attributable to Aramark stockholders $0.18 $0.14 $0.82 $0.73 Share-based awards to purchase 2.4 million and 2.9 million shares were outstanding for the three months ended July 1, 2016 and July 3, 2015 , respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share, as their effect would have been antidilutive. In addition, PSUs related to 0.7 million shares and 0.8 million shares were outstanding for the three month period of July 1, 2016 and July 3, 2015 , respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share, as the performance targets were not yet met.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
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 $121.9 million at July 1, 2016 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.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL 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 July 1, 2016 and October 2, 2015 was $5,523.0 million and $5,341.3 million , respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s debt at July 1, 2016 and October 2, 2015 was $5,433.2 million and $5,266.0 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.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	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 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 1, 2015. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 2, 2015 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.
New Accounting Standard Updates	New Accounting Standard Updates In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standard update ("ASU") to update several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences and classification of awards. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement. In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets and to disclose key information about lease arrangements. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement. In January 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement. In November 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes to require all deferred tax liabilities and assets to be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The company adopted the guidance in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 on a prospective basis, resulting in a reclassification of approximately $18.1 million from "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" to "Deferred Income Taxes and Other Noncurrent Liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In July 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement. In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU on debt issuance costs which requires presentation on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt discounts, and will no longer be recorded as a separate asset. The Company adopted the retrospective guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 (see note 5). In June 2014, the FASB issued an ASU on stock compensation which requires that a performance target affecting vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement relative to its stock incentive awards. In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU on revenue from contracts with customers which outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year, but to permit entities to adopt one year earlier if they choose (i.e., the original effective date). The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. 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 Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Comprehensive Income	Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes all changes to stockholders' equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by and distributions to stockholders. Components of comprehensive income include net income (loss), changes in foreign currency translation adjustments (net of tax), pension plan adjustments (net of tax), changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges (net of tax) and changes to the share of any equity investees' comprehensive income (net of tax).
Other Assets	Other Assets Other assets consist primarily of investments in 50% or less owned entities, client contract investments, computer software costs and long-term receivables. Client contract investments generally represent a cash payment provided by the Company to help finance improvement or renovation at the facility from which the Company operates. These amounts are amortized over the contract period. If a contract is terminated prior to its maturity date, the Company is generally reimbursed for the unamortized client contract investment amount.
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 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.
