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. The Company's core market is North America (composed of the United States and Canada), which is supplemented by an additional 17 -country footprint. 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 November 23, 2016 . The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016 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 Standards Updates In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update ("ASU") to clarify the determination of the customer of the operation services in a service concession arrangement. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this standard in conjunction with the revenue recognition standard, as described below. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement. In May 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. 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 March 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. 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 February 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify the accounting guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. 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 January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill as part of the impairment test. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement. In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify the definition of a business. 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 October 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to require entities to recognize the income tax consequences of certain intercompany assets transfers at the transaction date. 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 August 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to address the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the Statement of Cash Flows. 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 June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to require entities to account for expected credit losses on financial instruments including trade receivables. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement. In March 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to update several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions. Upon adoption, the ASU requires that excess tax benefits for share-based payments be recorded as a reduction to the provision for income taxes and reflected within cash flows from operating activities rather than being recorded within stockholders’ equity and reflected within cash flows from financing activities. The standard also clarifies that all cash payments made on an employee’s behalf for withheld shares should be presented as a financing activity on a cash flow statement, and provides an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The Company elected to early adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2017. The impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income was $6.2 million and $18.4 million o f excess tax benefit recorded as a reduction to the provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 . The adoption impact to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was a cumulative-effect adjustment of approximately $9.8 million to increase retained earnings for previously unrecognized excess tax benefits. The Company applied the guidance related to the presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows on a retrospective basis. The excess tax benefits of $18.4 million and $21.7 million f or share-based awards are included in operating activities, previously classified in financing activities, and approximately $22.7 million and $23.9 million of cash paid for employee taxes for withheld shares are inclu ded in financing activities, previously classified in operating activities, for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016 , respectively. As a result of the adoption, the excess tax benefits are no longer included in the calculation of diluted shares under the treasury stock method, which increased the diluted shares outstanding by approximately 1.4 million shares for both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 . The Company elected to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period. 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 in the process of developing an inventory of its lease arrangements in order to determine the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Based on the assessment to date, the Company expects adoption of this standard to result in a material increase in lease-related assets and liabilities on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, but does not expect it to have a significant impact on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income or Cash Flows. 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 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 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 Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 which did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. 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. As the new standard will supersede most existing revenue guidance affecting the Company, it could impact revenue and cost recognition on contracts across all reportable segments. The Company has been closely monitoring the FASB activity related to the new standard and continues to work to conclude on specific interpretative issues. The Company also continues to make progress on a comprehensive contract review project in order to develop a full understanding of the adoption impact on the 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, 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 or loss (net of tax).

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 generally 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 $900.1 million and $865.0 million as of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , respectively. Income Taxes Effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the earnings since the beginning of the fiscal year of certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are intended to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the U.S. and, therefore, U.S. taxes have not been recorded on those earnings.

(" AIFS " and, together with ASI , " the Issuers "), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued €325.0 million of 3.125% Senior Notes due April 1, 2025 (the " 3.125% 2025 Notes" and, together with the 5.000% 2025 Notes, the " Notes "). On March 28, 2017, ASI and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which replaced the existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, originally dated January 26, 2007, and last amended on March 28, 2014 (the "Previous Credit Agreement"). Among other things, the Credit Agreement provides for the following as of June 30, 2017 : • A U.S. dollar denominated term loan to ASI in the amount of $641.9 million , due 2022 , (" U.S. Term Loan A ") and $1.7 billion , due 2024 (" U.S. Term Loan B "); • A Canadian dollar denominated term loan to Aramark Canada Ltd. in the amount of CAD 131.7 million , due 2022 (approximately $101.6 million ) (" Canadian Term Loan "); • A yen denominated term loan to ASI in the amount of ¥ 11,079.2 million , due 2022 (approximately $98.6 million ) (" Yen Term Loan "); and • A revolving credit facility available for loans in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros and pounds sterling to ASI and certain foreign borrowers with aggregate commitments under the Credit Agreement of $1.0 billion and a final maturity date of March 28, 2022 . The net proceeds from the Notes and borrowings under the senior secured term loan facilities under the Credit Agreement were used to repay all existing outstanding borrowings under the term loans under the Previous Credit Agreement, to redeem ASI's 5.750% senior notes, due March 2020 (the "2020 Notes"), and to pay certain fees and related expenses. The Company recorded $27.0 million of charges to "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 , consisting of $23.7 million of non-cash charges for the write-off of deferred financing costs and original issue discount and $3.3 million for the call premium on the 2020 Notes. During the nine months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company capitalized third-party costs of approximately $15.1 million directly attributable to the Notes and approximately $16.4 million directly attributable to the new senior secured term loan facilities under the Credit Agreement, which are included in "Long-Term Borrowings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company also capitalized third-party costs of approximately $8.2 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2017, directly attributable to the senior secured revolving credit facility, which are included in "Other Assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Senior Secured Credit Agreement The applicable margin spread for the U.S. Term Loan B is 1.75% to 2.00% (as of June 30, 2017 — 2.00% ) with respect to eurocurrency (LIBOR) borrowings, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.00% , and 0.75% to 1.00% (as of June 30, 2017 — 1.00% ) with respect to base-rate borrowings, subject to a minimum base rate of 0.00% . The applicable margin spread for the U.S. Term Loan A , Canadian Term Loan and the senior secured revolving credit facility is 1.50% to 2.25% (as of June 30, 2017 — 1.75% ) with respect to eurocurrency (LIBOR) borrowings, bankers’ acceptance ("BA") rate borrowings and letters of credit fees and 0.50% to 1.25% (as of June 30, 2017 — 0.75% ) with respect to U.S. and Canadian base rate borrowings. The applicable margin for the Yen Term Loan is 1.75% . In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the senior secured credit facilities, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. The commitment fee rate ranges from 0.25% to 0.40% per annum (as of June 30, 2017 — 0.30% ). The actual spreads within all ranges referred to above are based on a Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Company's revolving credit facility includes a $250.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. The Credit Agreement provides that the Company has the right at any time to request one or more incremental term loan facilities or increases under existing term loan facilities and/or additional revolving credit facilities or increases under the existing revolving credit facility in an amount up to $1,400.0 million of incremental commitments in the aggregate plus an unlimited amount so long as the pro forma Consolidated Secured Debt to Covenant Adjusted EBITDA ratio (each as defined in the Credit Agreement (the "Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio")) would not exceed 3.00 to 1.00, plus any amount of loans and commitments optionally prepaid and terminated under the senior secured credit facilities. The lenders under these facilities are not under any obligation to provide any such incremental facilities or commitments, and any such addition of or increase in facilities or commitments will be subject to customary conditions precedent. The revolving credit facility may be drawn by ASI as well as by certain foreign subsidiaries of ASI. Each foreign borrower is subject to a sublimit of $150.0 million with respect to borrowings under the revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2017 , there was approximately $842.8 million available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility. Prepayments and Amortization The Credit Agreement requires us to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with: • 50% of ASI 's annual excess cash flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with stepdowns to 25% and 0% upon ASI 's reaching certain Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio thresholds; provided, further, that such prepayment shall only be required to the extent excess cash flow for the applicable year exceeds $10.0 million ; • 100% of the net cash proceeds of all nonordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property subject to certain exceptions and customary reinvestment rights; provided, further, that such prepayment shall only be required to the extent net cash proceeds exceeds $100.0 million ; and • 100% of the net cash proceeds of any incurrence of debt, but excluding proceeds from certain debt permitted under the Credit Agreement. The foregoing mandatory prepayments will be applied to the term loan facilities on a pro rata basis and will reduce the obligations to make scheduled amortization payments on a dollar for dollar basis as directed by the Company. The Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the senior secured credit facilities at any time without premium or penalty, other than (i) customary "breakage" costs with respect to LIBOR loans and (ii) with respect to any voluntary prepayments of the U.S. Term Loan B in connection with any repricing transaction (as defined in the Credit Agreement) effected prior to September 28, 2017, a 1% prepayment premium. Prepaid term loans may not be reborrowed. If a change of control as defined in the Credit Agreement occurs, this will cause an event of default under the Credit Agreement. Upon an event of default, the new senior secured credit facilities may be accelerated, in which case the Company would be required to repay all outstanding loans plus accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts outstanding under the new senior secured credit facilities under the Credit Agreement. The Company is required to make quarterly principal repayments on the U.S. Term Loan B and the Yen Term Loan in quarterly amounts of 1.00% per annum of their funded total principal amount. The Company is required to make quarterly principal repayments on the U.S. Term Loan A and the Canadian Term Loan in quarterly amounts of 5.0% , 5.0% , 7.5% , 10.0% and 15.0% per annum of their funded total principal amount in the first, second, third, fourth and fifth years after the closing date of the senior secured credit facilities under the Credit Agreement, respectively. Guarantees All obligations under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by Aramark Intermediate HoldCo Corporation and, subject to certain exceptions, substantially all of ASI 's existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries excluding certain immaterial subsidiaries, receivables facility subsidiaries, certain other customarily excluded subsidiaries and certain subsidiaries designated under the Credit Agreement as "unrestricted subsidiaries", referred to, collectively, as the U.S. Guarantors. All obligations under the senior secured credit facilities, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by (i) a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of ASI , (ii) pledges of 100% of the capital stock (or 65% of voting stock and 100% of non-voting stock, in the case of the stock of foreign subsidiaries) held by ASI , Aramark Intermediate HoldCo Corporation or any of the U.S. Guarantors and (iii) a security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible assets of Aramark Intermediate HoldCo Corporation, ASI or any of the U.S. Guarantors. Certain Covenants The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, ASI 's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness; issue preferred stock or provide guarantees; create liens on assets; engage in mergers or consolidations; sell assets; pay dividends, make distributions or repurchase its capital stock; make investments, loans or advances; repay or repurchase any subordinated debt, except as scheduled or at maturity; create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other transfers to ASI from its restricted subsidiaries; make certain acquisitions; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; amend material agreements governing ASI 's subordinated debt; and fundamentally change ASI 's business. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires ASI to comply with a maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio maintenance covenant. The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants, such as financial and other reporting, and certain events of default. At June 30, 2017 , ASI was in compliance with all of these covenants. The Credit Agreement requires ASI to maintain a maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio, defined as consolidated total indebtedness secured by a lien to Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, of 5.125 x. Consolidated total indebtedness secured by a lien is defined in the Credit Agreement as total indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement, capital leases, advances under the Receivables Facility and any other indebtedness secured by a lien reduced by the amount of cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheet that is free and clear of any lien. Non-compliance with the maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio could result in the requirement to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement, which, if ASI 's revolving credit facility lenders failed to waive any such default, would also constitute a default under the indentures governing the senior notes. The Credit Agreement establishes an incurrence-based minimum Interest Coverage Ratio, defined as Covenant Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, as a condition for ASI and its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and to make certain restricted payments. The minimum Interest Coverage Ratio is 2.00 x for the term of the Credit Agreement. If ASI does not maintain this minimum Interest Coverage Ratio calculated on a pro forma basis for any such additional indebtedness or restricted payments, it could be prohibited from being able to incur additional indebtedness, other than the additional funding provided for under the Credit Agreement and pursuant to specified exceptions, and make certain restricted payments, other than pursuant to certain exceptions. A failure to pay any obligations under the Credit Agreement as they become due or any event causing amounts to become due prior to their stated maturity could result in a cross-default and potential acceleration of the Company’s other outstanding debt obligations, including the senior notes. Senior Notes 5.000% Senior Notes due 2025 and 3.125% Senior Notes due 2025 The 5.000% 2025 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 22, 2017 (the " 5.000% 2025 Notes Indenture"), entered into by and among ASI , the Company and certain other Aramark entities, as guarantors, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The 5.000% 2025 Notes were issued at par. The 3.125% 2025 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 27, 2017 (the " 3.125% 2025 Notes Indenture"), entered into by and among AIFS , the Company and certain other Aramark entities, as guarantors, The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee and registrar, and The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as paying agent and transfer agent. The 3.125% 2025 Notes were issued at par. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the respective Issuers. Each series of the Notes ranks equal in right of payment to all of the respective Issuer's existing and future senior indebtedness, including the senior secured credit facilities under the Credit Agreement, and, in the case of the 5.000% 2025 Notes with respect to ASI, ASI's 5.125% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes") and 4.750% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes") and will rank senior in right of payment to the respective Issuer's future subordinated indebtedness. The Notes are guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by the Company and substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of ASI and the 3.125% 2025 Notes are guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by ASI. The guarantees of the Notes rank equal in right of payment to all of the senior obligations of such guarantor, including guarantees of the senior secured credit facilities, the 2024 Notes, the 2026 Notes and the 5.000% 2025 Notes or 3.125% 2025 Notes, as applicable, and in the case of the 3.125% 2025 Notes with respect to ASI, ASI’s obligations under the senior secured credit facilities, the 2024 Notes, the 2026 Notes and the 5.000% 2025 Notes. Each series of the Notes and the related guarantees thereof are effectively subordinated to all of the respective Issuers' existing and future secured indebtedness, including obligations and/or guarantees of the senior secured credit facilities under the Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of any of ASI 's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes . Interest on the Notes is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2017. Interest accrues from March 22, 2017 for the 5.000% 2025 Notes and interest accrues from March 27, 2017 for the 3.125% 2025 Notes. In the event of certain types of changes of control, the holders of the Notes may require the applicable Issuer to purchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. Beginning April 1, 2020, ASI has the option to redeem all or a portion of the 5.000% 2025 Notes at any time at the redemption prices set forth in the 5.000% 2025 Notes Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Beginning April 1, 2020, AIFS has the option to redeem all or a portion of the 3.125% 2025 Notes at any time at the redemption prices set forth in the 3.125% 2025 Notes Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 5.000% 2025 Notes Indenture and the 3.125% 2025 Notes Indenture contain covenants limiting ASI'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 ASI; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; merge, consolidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of ASI's and its restricted subsidiaries assets; and designate ASI's subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The 5.000% 2025 Notes Indenture and the 3.125% 2025 Notes Indenture also provide for events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on the applicable series of Notes to become or to be declared due and payable. Further, a failure to pay any obligations under the 5.000% 2025 Notes Indenture or the 3.125% 2025 Notes Indenture as they become due or any event causing amounts to become due prior to their stated maturity could result in a cross-default and potential acceleration of the Company’s other outstanding debt obligations, including the other senior notes and obligations under the Credit Agreement. Fiscal 2016 Refinancing Transactions On May 31, 2016, ASI issued $1.0 billion principal amount of senior unsecured notes, consisting of the 2024 Notes and the 2026 Notes. The 2024 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of December 17, 2015, as supplemented by the supplemental indenture, dated as of May 31, 2016, entered into by ASI, certain other Aramark entities, as guarantors of the 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, entered into by ASI, certain other Aramark entities, as guarantors of the 2026 Notes and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The 2024 Notes were issued at a premium of $18.8 million , which created 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 2024 Notes and the 2026 Notes and premium from the 2024 Notes were used to redeem $194.1 million of the senior secured term loan facility due September 2019 (the "2019 Term Loans"), repay $771.2 million principal of 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 2024 Notes and 2026 Notes. As a result of the issuance of the 2024 Notes and 2026 Notes, the Company recorded charges of approximately $30.2 million , to "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended July 1, 2016, 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 2024 Notes and 2026 Notes, which were recorded as a reduction to "Long-Term Borrowings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. On December 17, 2015, ASI issued $400 million of 2024 Notes, pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 17, 2015, entered into by ASI, certain other Aramark entities, as guarantors of the 2024 Notes and the Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The 2024 Notes were issued at par. The Company paid approximately $6.0 million in financing fees related to the 2024 Notes. Future Maturities After giving effect to the refinancing activity during the second quarter of fiscal 2017, at June 30, 2017 , annual maturities on long-term borrowings maturing between fiscal years 2017 and 2022 and thereafter (excluding the $49.0 million reduction to long-term borrowings from debt issuance costs and the increase of $15.6 million from the premium on the 2024 Notes) are as follows (in thousands): 2017 $ 20,297 2018 78,204 2019 414,698 2020 117,647 2021 125,111 2022 766,729 Thereafter 4,025,127

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 the risk of 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 approximately $2.4 billion notional amount of outstanding interest rate swap agreements, fixing the rate on a like amount of variable rate borrowings. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company entered into $200.0 million notional amount of forward starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge the cash flow risk of variability in interest payments on variable rate borrowings. In addition, interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $350.0 million matured during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. As a result of the Credit Agreement, the Company de-designated the previous 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 Credit Agreement, these agreements met the required criteria to be designated as cash flow hedging instruments. The Company then amended the interest rate swap agreements to match the terms of the new term loans under the Credit Agreement to meet the criteria to be designated as cash flow hedging instruments. As a result of the de-designation, the Company recorded charges to "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 of approximately $2.9 million for the changes in market value of the interest rate swaps. 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. Approximately ($7.4) million and ($36.4) million of unrealized net of tax losses related to the interest rate swaps were included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" as of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , respectively. As of June 30, 2017 , such amount principally represents the fair value of the original interest rate swap agreements on the de-designation date, which will be recognized in income over the original anticipated cash flow period. The hedge ineffectiveness for these cash flow hedging instruments during the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016 was not material. The following table summarizes the effect of our derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments (effective portion) on Other comprehensive income (loss) (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 July 1, 2016 Interest rate swap agreements $ (2,721 ) $ (8,947 ) Nine Months Ended June 30, 2017 July 1, 2016 Interest rate swap agreements $ 33,261 $ (23,916 ) Cross currency swap agreements — (2,116 ) $ 33,261 $ (26,032 ) 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. As of June 30, 2017 , the Company has contracts for approximately 20.2 million gallons outstanding for 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 loss of approximately $2.6 million and approximately $3.6 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. 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 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 June 30, 2017 , the Company had foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding with notional amounts of €47.0 million , £50.3 million and CAD 14.0 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.

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 June 30, 2017 July 1, 2016 June 30, 2017 July 1, 2016 Earnings: Net income attributable to Aramark stockholders $ 65,295 $ 44,765 $ 260,785 $ 204,462 Shares: Basic weighted-average shares outstanding 244,266 242,831 244,399 241,740 Effect of dilutive securities 6,890 6,226 7,149 6,582 Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding 251,156 249,057 251,548 248,322 Basic Earnings Per Share: Net income attributable to Aramark stockholders $ 0.27 $ 0.18 $ 1.07 $ 0.85 Diluted Earnings Per Share: Net income attributable to Aramark stockholders $ 0.26 $ 0.18 $ 1.04 $ 0.82 Share-based awards to purchase 3.7 million and 2.4 million shares were outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016 , 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 1.2 million shares and 0.7 million shares were outstanding for the three month periods of June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016 , respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share, as the performance targets were not yet met. Share-based awards to purchase 3.9 million and 3.4 million shares were outstanding for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016 , 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 1.2 million shares and 0.7 million shares were outstanding for the nine month period of June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016 , 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 $94.6 million at June 30, 2017 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 June 30, 2017 . From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are a party to various legal actions, proceedings and investigations involving claims incidental to the conduct of their business, including actions by clients, consumers, 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 and security 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 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 June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was $5,680.8 million and $5,365.6 million , respectively. The carrying value of the Company's debt at June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was $5,514.4 million and $5,270.0 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 have 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 November 23, 2016 . The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016 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	New Accounting Standards Updates In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update ("ASU") to clarify the determination of the customer of the operation services in a service concession arrangement. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this standard in conjunction with the revenue recognition standard, as described below. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement. In May 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. 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 March 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. 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 February 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify the accounting guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. 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 January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill as part of the impairment test. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement. In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify the definition of a business. 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 October 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to require entities to recognize the income tax consequences of certain intercompany assets transfers at the transaction date. 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 August 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to address the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the Statement of Cash Flows. 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 June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to require entities to account for expected credit losses on financial instruments including trade receivables. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement. In March 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to update several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions. Upon adoption, the ASU requires that excess tax benefits for share-based payments be recorded as a reduction to the provision for income taxes and reflected within cash flows from operating activities rather than being recorded within stockholders’ equity and reflected within cash flows from financing activities. The standard also clarifies that all cash payments made on an employee’s behalf for withheld shares should be presented as a financing activity on a cash flow statement, and provides an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The Company elected to early adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2017. The impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income was $6.2 million and $18.4 million o f excess tax benefit recorded as a reduction to the provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 . The adoption impact to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was a cumulative-effect adjustment of approximately $9.8 million to increase retained earnings for previously unrecognized excess tax benefits. The Company applied the guidance related to the presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows on a retrospective basis. The excess tax benefits of $18.4 million and $21.7 million f or share-based awards are included in operating activities, previously classified in financing activities, and approximately $22.7 million and $23.9 million of cash paid for employee taxes for withheld shares are inclu ded in financing activities, previously classified in operating activities, for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016 , respectively. As a result of the adoption, the excess tax benefits are no longer included in the calculation of diluted shares under the treasury stock method, which increased the diluted shares outstanding by approximately 1.4 million shares for both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 . The Company elected to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period. 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 in the process of developing an inventory of its lease arrangements in order to determine the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Based on the assessment to date, the Company expects adoption of this standard to result in a material increase in lease-related assets and liabilities on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, but does not expect it to have a significant impact on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income or Cash Flows. 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 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 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 Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 which did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. 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. As the new standard will supersede most existing revenue guidance affecting the Company, it could impact revenue and cost recognition on contracts across all reportable segments. The Company has been closely monitoring the FASB activity related to the new standard and continues to work to conclude on specific interpretative issues. The Company also continues to make progress on a comprehensive contract review project in order to develop a full understanding of the adoption impact on the 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, 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 or loss (net of tax).
Other Assets	Other Assets Other assets consist primarily of client contract investments, investments in 50% or less owned entities, 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 generally 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.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the earnings since the beginning of the fiscal year of certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are intended to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the U.S. and, therefore, U.S. taxes have not been recorded on those earnings.
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.
