Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | NATURE OF BUSINESS, 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 the United States, which is supplemented by an additional 18-country footprint. The Company operates its business in three reportable segments that share many of the same operating characteristics: • Food and Support Services United States ("FSS United States") - Food, refreshment, specialized dietary and support services, including facility maintenance and housekeeping, provided to business, educational and healthcare institutions and in sports, leisure and other facilities. • Food and Support Services International ("FSS International") - Food, refreshment, specialized dietary and support services, including facility maintenance and housekeeping, provided to business, educational and healthcare institutions and in sports, leisure and other facilities. • Uniform and Career Apparel ("Uniform") - Provides a full service employee uniform solution, including design, sourcing and manufacturing, delivery, cleaning and maintenance on a contract basis. Directly markets personalized uniforms and accessories, provides managed restroom services and rents uniforms, work clothing, outerwear, particulate-free garments and non-garment items and related services, including mats, shop towels and first aid supplies, to clients in a wide range of industries in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and through a joint venture in Japan, including the manufacturing, transportation, construction, restaurant and hotel, healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling financial interest is maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Fiscal Year The Company's fiscal year is the fifty-two or fifty-three week period which ends on the Friday nearest September 30th. The fiscal years ended October 1, 2021 and September 27, 2019 were each fifty-two week periods and the fiscal year ended October 2, 2020 was a fifty-three week period. New Accounting Standards Updates Adopted Standards In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update ("ASU") which simplifies the accounting for income taxes and clarifies and amends existing income tax guidance. Impacted areas include intraperiod tax allocations, interim period taxes, deferred tax liabilities with outside basis differences, franchise taxes and transactions which result in the "step-up" of goodwill. The Company early adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In November 2019, the FASB issued an ASU which provides clarification and improvements to existing guidance related to the credit losses on financial instruments standard. The guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In May 2019, the FASB issued an ASU which provides the option to irrevocably elect to apply the fair value measurement option on an instrument-by-instrument basis for certain financial instruments within the scope of the credit losses on financial instruments standard. The guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In April 2019, the FASB issued an ASU which provides clarification, error corrections and improvements to existing guidance related to the credit losses on financial instruments ASU issued in June 2016, the derivatives and hedging ASU issued in August 2017 and the financial instruments ASU issued in January 2016. The Company adopted the guidance related to the financial instruments ASU and the derivatives and hedging ASU in prior fiscal years, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The guidance related to the credit losses on financial instruments ASU was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU which adds, modifies and removes several disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension plans. The Company early adopted the guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU which adds, modifies and removes several disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to require entities to account for expected credit losses on financial instruments including trade receivables. The expected credit loss model replaced the incurred credit loss model, that generally required a loss to be incurred before it was recognized. The forward-looking credit loss model required the Company to consider historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount in estimating credit losses. The amended guidance required financial assets that are measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets. The Company adopted this guidance on October 3, 2020 (the first date of fiscal 2021) using a modified retrospective approach. This approach allows the new standard to be applied retrospectively through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings recognized upon adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Standards Not Yet Adopted (from most to least recent date of issuance) In October 2021, the FASB issued an ASU which requires that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606") as if it had originated the contracts. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. In January 2021, the FASB issued an ASU which clarifies certain optional expedients and exceptions for contract modifications and hedge accounting that may apply to derivatives that are affected by the discontinuance of LIBOR and the reference rate reform standard. The Company may adopt this guidance through December 2022 if the remaining amendment to the reference rate reform standard is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. In March 2020, the FASB issued an ASU which provides optional expedients that may be adopted and applied through December 2022 to assist with the discontinuance of LIBOR. The expedients allow companies to ease the potential accounting burden when modifying contracts and hedging relationships that use LIBOR as a reference rate, if certain criteria are met. During fiscal 2020, the Company adopted the optional expedient to assert probability of forecasted hedged transactions occurring on its interest rate swap derivative contracts regardless of any expected contract modifications related to reference rate reform. Other optional expedients related to hedging relationships may be contemplated in the future resulting from reference rate reform. The Company reviewed its portfolio of debt agreements, lease agreements and other contracts and determined that only its debt agreements will be impacted by this standard, as the lease agreements and other contracts do not use LIBOR as a reference rate. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the remaining amendment of this standard. In January 2020, the FASB issued an ASU which provides clarification and improvements to existing guidance related to accounting for certain equity securities upon the application or discontinuation of equity method accounting and the measurement of forward contracts and purchased options on certain securities. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligation is satisfied upon the transfer of control of the promised product or service to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services. In each of the Company's operating segments, revenue is recognized over time in the period in which services are provided pursuant to the terms of the Company's contractual relationships with its clients. The Company generally records revenue on food and support services contracts (both profit and loss contracts and client interest contracts) on a gross basis as the Company is the primary obligor and service provider. See Note 7 for additional information on revenue recognition. Certain profit and loss contracts include payments to the client, typically calculated as a fixed or variable percentage of various categories of revenue and income. In some cases these contracts require minimum guaranteed payments that are contingent on certain future events. These expenses are currently recorded in "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)." Revenue from client interest contracts is generally comprised of amounts billed to clients for food, labor and other costs that the Company incurs, controls and pays for. Revenue from these contracts also includes any associated management fees, client subsidies or incentive fees based upon the Company's performance under the contract. Revenue from direct marketing activities is recognized at a point in time upon shipment. All revenue related taxes are presented on a net basis. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records an accounts receivable balance when revenue is recognized prior to or at the time of invoicing the customer. A majority of the Company’s receivables balances are based on contracts with customers. The Company estimates and reserves for its credit loss exposure based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount in estimating credit losses. Credit loss expense is classified within "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)." Vendor Consideration Consideration received from vendors includes rebates, allowances and volume discounts and are accounted for as an adjustment to the cost of the vendors' products or services and are reported as a reduction of "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)," "Inventory," or "Property and equipment, net." Income from rebates, allowances and volume discounts is recognized based on actual purchases in the fiscal period relative to total actual purchases to be made for the contractual rebate period agreed to with the vendor. Rebates, allowances and volume discounts related to “Inventory” held at the balance sheet date are deducted from the carrying value of these inventories. Rebates, allowances and volume discounts related to "Property and equipment, net" are deducted from the costs capitalized. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes to stockholders' equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by and distributions to stockholders. Components of comprehensive income (loss) 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 (loss) (net of tax). The summary of the components of comprehensive income (loss) is as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 September 27, 2019 Pre-Tax Amount Tax Effect After-Tax Amount Pre-Tax Amount Tax Effect After-Tax Amount Pre-Tax Amount Tax Effect After-Tax Amount Net (loss) income $ (92,219) $ (461,435) $ 448,466 Pension plan adjustments 63,959 (15,391) 48,568 (33,831) 8,162 (25,669) (29,137) 6,543 (22,594) Foreign currency translation adjustments 7,383 1,542 8,925 (6,348) (1,470) (7,818) (34,099) (209) (34,308) Cash flow hedges: Unrealized gains (losses) arising during the period 1,228 (319) 909 (110,817) 28,812 (82,005) (84,392) 21,942 (62,450) Reclassification adjustments 50,595 (13,155) 37,440 34,409 (8,946) 25,463 (6,484) 1,686 (4,798) Share of equity investee's comprehensive income (loss) 3,405 — 3,405 (264) — (264) (1,592) — (1,592) Other comprehensive income (loss) 126,570 (27,323) 99,247 (116,851) 26,558 (90,293) (155,704) 29,962 (125,742) Comprehensive income (loss) 7,028 (551,728) 322,724 Less: Net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interest (1,386) 94 (83) Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Aramark stockholders $ 8,414 $ (551,822) $ 322,807 Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of the following (in thousands): October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 Pension plan adjustments $ (24,323) $ (72,891) Foreign currency translation adjustments (127,012) (135,937) Cash flow hedges (49,249) (87,598) Share of equity investee's accumulated other comprehensive loss (7,427) (10,832) $ (208,011) $ (307,258) Currency Translation Gains and losses resulting from the translation of financial statements of non-United States subsidiaries are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity. Beginning in fiscal 2018, Argentina was determined to have a highly inflationary economy. As a result, the Company remeasures the financial statements of Argentina's operations in accordance with the accounting guidance for highly inflationary economies. The impact of the remeasurements was a foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $1.8 million, $2.5 million and $4.9 million during fiscal 2021, fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively, to the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. The impact of foreign currency transaction gains and losses exclusive of Argentina's operations included in the Company's operating results for fiscal 2021, fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 were immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. Current Assets The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company insures portions of its general liability, automobile liability and workers’ compensation risks through a wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary (the "Captive"), to enhance its risk financing strategies. The Captive is subject to regulations within its domicile of Bermuda, including regulations established by the Bermuda Monetary Authority (the "BMA") relating to levels of liquidity and solvency as such concepts are defined by the BMA. The Captive was in compliance with these regulations as of October 1, 2021. These regulations may have the effect of limiting the Company's ability to access certain cash and cash equivalents held by the Captive for uses other than for the payment of its general liability, automobile liability and workers’ compensation claims and related Captive costs. As of October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, cash and cash equivalents at the Captive were $194.3 million and $92.1 million, respectively. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (principally the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. As of October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, the Company's reserve for inventory obsolescence was approximately $45.7 million and $36.7 million, respectively. The increase is mainly related to excess inventory related to personal protective equipment ("PPE"). The inventory obsolescence reserve is determined based on history and projected customer consumption and specific identification. In addition, the Company recorded approximately $25.4 million in inventory write-downs during fiscal 2021 to reflect the current net realizable value of PPE inventory. The components of inventories are as follows: October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 Food (1) 48.7 % 42.7 % Career apparel and linens (2) 46.0 % 52.2 % Parts, supplies and novelties 5.3 % 5.1 % 100.0 % 100.0 % (1) Food inventory increased during fiscal 2021 as the COVID-19 pandemic ("COVID-19") lockdowns were lifted and operations began to re-open. (2) Career apparel and linens inventory decreased during fiscal 2021 due to decreased production and distribution of PPE, which was elevated during fiscal 2020 in response to COVID-19. Prepayments and other current assets The following table presents details of "Prepayments and other current assets" as presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands): October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 Prepaid Insurance $ 12,566 $ 13,396 Prepaid Taxes and Licenses 11,159 11,130 Current Income Tax Asset (1) 23,523 123,608 Other Prepaid Expenses 157,739 150,810 $ 204,987 $ 298,944 (1) Fiscal 2020 income tax receivable driven by the net loss position during fiscal 2020 from the impact of COVID-19. Income tax proceeds were received in fiscal 2021. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Gains and losses on dispositions are included in operating results. Maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations and replacements and significant improvements that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. The estimated useful lives for the major categories of property and equipment are 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and three During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recognized impairment charges of $30.6 million within its FSS United States and FSS International segments, consisting of right-of-use assets ($11.6 million), property and equipment ($17.8 million) and other assets ($1.2 million), which are included in "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)" on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2020. These impairment charges primarily relate to client contracts that were reassessed due to the impact of COVID-19. In order to determine the impairment charges, the Company compared the estimated fair value of each asset group, calculated using discount cash flows, to its book value. During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company permanently vacated certain rental properties and assets at various locations throughout the United States related to non-core operations and no longer intends to operate or sublease at these locations. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on disposal by abandonment of $28.5 million within its FSS United States segment, consisting of right-of-use assets ($10.3 million), leasehold improvements ($17.4 million) and other assets ($0.8 million), which is included in "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)" on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2020. The Company has no remaining lease liability related to the abandoned leases as of October 1, 2021. During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company received $25.0 million of insurance proceeds from one of its insurance carriers related to property damage and business interruption from a tornado at one of its Uniform market centers in Nashville, Tennessee. These proceeds serve to cover the cost of rebuilding the property and for any incremental expenses the Company incurs to continue servicing its customers at nearby market centers. The Company’s insurance policy provides coverage for the property damage and reimbursement for other expenses and incremental costs that have been incurred related to the damages and losses. The Company recorded a gain during fiscal 2020 of approximately $16.3 million from these proceeds, which represents the excess of previously incurred losses, including the write-down of the damaged property and equipment and business interruption expenses. The gain is included in “Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization” on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. The Company allocated $21.5 million of the insurance proceeds to the recovery of the damaged building and equipment and is included within “Net cash used in investing activities” on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2020. The remaining $3.5 million of insurance proceeds is included within “Net cash provided by operating activities” to offset the business interruption expenses incurred during the fiscal year ended October 2, 2020. Other Assets The following table presents details of "Other Assets" as presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands): October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 Cost to fulfill - Client (1) $ 109,541 $ 113,940 Cost to fulfill - Rental merchandise in-service (2) 324,433 311,238 Long-term receivables 31,832 28,460 Miscellaneous investments (3) 405,498 262,609 Computer software costs, net (4) 182,650 177,136 Employee sales commissions (5) 124,610 122,011 Other (6) 156,578 142,712 $ 1,335,142 $ 1,158,106 (1) Cost to fulfill - Client represent payments made by the Company to enhance the service resources used by the Company to satisfy its performance obligation (see Note 7). (2) Costs to fulfill - Rental merchandise in-service represent personalized work apparel, linens and other rental items in service at customer locations (see Note 7). (3) Miscellaneous investments represent investments in 50% or less owned entities. (4) Computer software costs represent capitalized costs incurred to purchase or develop software for internal use, and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software, generally a period of three (5) Employee sales commissions represent commission payments made to employees related to new or retained business contracts (see Note 7). (6) Other consists primarily of noncurrent deferred tax assets, pension assets, deferred financing costs on certain revolving credit facilities and other noncurrent assets. 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 $187.5 million and $182.9 million at October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, respectively). The Company's equity in undistributed earnings of AIM Services Co., Ltd. for fiscal 2021, fiscal 2020, and fiscal 2019 was approximately $16.7 million, $10.8 million and $24.9 million, respectively, and is recorded as a reduction of "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)" on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. For investments in 50% or less owned entities, other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, the Company measures these investments at cost, less any impairment and adjusted for changes in fair value resulting from observable price changes for an identical or a similar investment of the same issuer due to the lack of readily available fair values related to those investments. During fiscal 2021, the Company identified an observable price change related to an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value and recognized a non-cash gain of $137.9 million on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. The carrying amount of equity investments without readily determinable fair values as of October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020 was $180.5 million and $42.5 million, respectively. During fiscal 2019, the Company recognized an impairment of $7.0 million in "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)" related to an equity investment. Other Accrued Expenses and Liabilities The following table presents details of "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands): October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 Deferred income (1)(2) $ 340,587 $ 291,680 Accrued client expenses (2) 127,086 44,419 Accrued taxes 58,410 53,146 Accrued insurance (3) and interest 167,323 174,048 Other 441,622 376,909 $ 1,135,028 $ 940,202 (1) Includes consideration received in advance from customers prior to the service being performed ($312.6 million and $263.8 million) or from vendors prior to the goods being consumed ($21.3 million and $27.9 million) in fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively. (2) Increases in fiscal 2021 as COVID-19 lockdowns were lifted and operations began to re-open. See Note 7. (3) The Company is self-insured for certain obligations related to its employee health care benefit programs as well as for certain risks retained under its general liability, automobile liability and workers’ compensation liability programs. Reserves are estimated through actuarial methods, with the assistance of third-party actuaries using loss development assumptions based on the Company's history. Deferred Income Taxes and Other Noncurrent Liabilities The following table presents details of "Deferred Income Taxes and Other Noncurrent Liabilities" as presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands): October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 Deferred income taxes (see Note 10) $ 383,224 $ 398,777 Deferred compensation 212,222 210,884 Pension-related liabilities 16,113 18,044 Interest rate swap agreements 65,012 116,882 Insurance reserves (1) 126,314 143,923 Other noncurrent liabilities (2) 276,129 210,565 $ 1,079,014 $ 1,099,075 (1) The Company is self-insured for certain obligations related to its employee health care benefit programs as well as for certain risks retained under its general liability, automobile liability and workers’ compensation liability programs. Reserves are estimated through actuarial methods, with the assistance of third-party actuaries using loss development assumptions based on the Company's claims history. (2) Fiscal 2021 and 2020 include the payment deferral related to the employer portion of social security taxes as permitted under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of $64.3 million and $80.8 million, respectively. Fiscal 2021 also includes the non-current portion of the Next Level contingent consideration of $65.4 million. Impact of COVID-19 COVID-19 has adversely affected global economies, financial markets and the overall environment for the Company and the extent to which it may impact future results of operations and overall financial performance remains uncertain. The decline in operations from COVID-19 caused a deterioration in the Company's revenue, operating income (loss) and net (loss) income for the fiscal years ended October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020. The Company's financial results began to improve during the second half of fiscal 2021 from operations re-opening as vaccines were distributed and lockdowns were lifted as well as from actions to reduce variable and fixed costs, including headcount reductions primarily taken during the second half of fiscal 2020. However, certain businesses continue to be impacted by COVID-19. The allowance for credit losses increased to $79.6 million as of October 1, 2021 compared to $74.9 million as of October 2, 2020, which includes the Company's current estimates that reflect the continued economic uncertainty resulting from COVID-19. In response, the Company continues to apply effective cost discipline to mitigate the negative impact of COVID-19 as well as take advantage of relief provisions, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"), the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 ("CAA") and other United States and foreign governmental programs (see below and Note 10). The ongoing impact of COVID-19, including the emergence of COVID-19 variants, on the Company's longer-term operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The CARES Act provides an employee retention credit (“CARES Employee Retention credit”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes of up to $5,000 per employee for eligible employers. The tax credit is equal to 50% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, capped at $10,000 of qualified wages per employee through December 31, 2020. Additional relief provisions were passed by the United States government, which extend and slightly expand the qualified wage caps on these credits through December 31, 2021. Based on these additional provisions, the tax credit is now equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, and the limit on qualified wages per employee has been increased to $10,000 of qualified wages per quarter. The Company qualifies for the tax credit under the CARES Act and expects to continue to receive additional tax credits under the additional relief provisions for qualified wages through December 31, 2021. During the fiscal year ended October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020 , the Company recorded $15.1 million and $18.7 million related to the CARES Employee Retention credit in “Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. As of October 1, 2021, the Company has a $23.8 million receivable balance from the United States government related to the CARES Act, which is recorded in "Receivables" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The CARES Act also provided for deferred payment of the employer portion of social security taxes through the end of calendar 2020, with 50% of the deferred amount due December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% due December 31, 2022. Approximately $128.5 million of social security taxes remain deferred, of which 50% are recorded as liabilities within "Accrued payroll and related expenses" and 50% are recorded as liabilities within "Deferred Income Taxes and Other Noncurrent Liabilities" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 1, 2021 . Deferred amounts of approximately $80.8 million were recorded as a liability within "Deferred Income Taxes and Other Noncurrent Liabilities" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 2, 2020. Within the FSS International and Uniform segments, many foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates are also providing companies various forms of relief from the COVID-19 pandemic, including labor related tax credits. These labor related tax credits generally allow companies to receive credits if they retain employees on their payroll, rather than furloughing or terminating employees as a result of the business disruption caused by COVID-19. The Company qualifies for these tax credits and expects to continue to receive additional tax credits for qualified wages in foreign jurisdictions while these programs remain through December 31, 2021. The Company recorded approximately $155.3 million and $128.1 million of labor related tax credits within "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)" on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income during the fiscal years ended October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, respectively, of which approximately $17.9 million and $23.0 million, respectively, were recorded in the Uniform segment with the remaining balances recorded in the FSS Inter |

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions and Divestitures | ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES: Next Level Hospitality ("Next Level") Acquisition On June 4, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Next Level Hospitality ("Next Level"), a premier provider of culinary and environmental services in the senior living industry, specializing in skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities, pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement ("Next Level Purchase Agreement") dated as of April 28, 2021, by and among Aramark Healthcare Support Services, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Aramark Services, Inc. ("ASI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Next Level Hospitality Services, LLC, Next Level Stockholders and Seth Gribetz, in his capacity as Stockholder Representative. Upon completion of the acquisition, Next Level became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and its results are included in the Company's FSS United States segment. The cash consideration paid for Next Level was $226.1 million. In addition, contingent consideration of $78.4 million was recorded as part of the acquisition, which the Company may be required to pay if Next Level achieves certain adjusted EBITDA levels during calendar year 2021 and 2022. The acquisition was financed utilizing cash and cash equivalents on hand. Consideration The Company has accounted for the Next Level acquisition as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company has finalized its allocation of the purchase price for the transaction based upon the fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. For tax purposes, this acquisition is a taxable transaction. Recognition and Measurement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed at Fair Value The following tables summarize the assets and liabilities assigned as of the acquisition date (in thousands): Current assets $ 18,088 Noncurrent assets 307,291 Total assets $ 325,379 Current liabilities $ 50,956 Noncurrent liabilities 48,323 Total liabilities $ 99,279 Intangible Assets The following table identifies the Company’s allocation of purchase price to the intangible assets acquired by category: Estimated Fair Value (in millions) Weighted-Average Estimated Useful Life (in years) Customer relationship assets $ 133.0 15 Trade name 49.5 15 Total intangible assets $ 182.5 The fair value of the customer relationship assets was determined using the “multi-period excess earnings method” which considers the present value of net cash flows expected to be generated by the customer relationships, excluding any cash flows related to contributory assets. The fair value of the trade name acquired was determined using the “relief-from-royalty method” which considers the discounted estimated royalty payments that are expected to be avoided as a result of the trademarks being owned. Goodwill The Company recorded $123.6 million of goodwill in connection with its purchase price allocation relating to the Next Level acquisition, all of which was recognized in the FSS United States reporting segment. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized, such as assembled workforce. Factors that contributed to the Company's preliminary recognition of goodwill include the Company's intent to complement its existing healthcare business and expand its customer base. Goodwill related to the Next Level acquisition is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Revenue and Earnings for Next Level Included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2021 was revenue of approximately $108.9 million. Net loss in the Company's Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income from Next Level was not material for fiscal 2021. The effects of the acquisition on proforma revenue and net income of the combined entity were not material. Divestiture On November 9, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its wholly-owned Healthcare Technologies ("HCT") business for $293.7 million in cash. The transaction resulted in a pretax gain of $156.3 million (tax effected gain of $139.2 million) in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2019. Merger and Integration Costs As a result of the Avendra and AmeriPride acquisitions occurring in fiscal year 2018, the Company incurred merger and integration costs of approximately $22.2 million, $28.9 million and $36.1 million during fiscal 2021, fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively. The expenses mainly related to costs for transitional employees and integration related consulting costs and charges related to plant consolidations, mainly asset write-downs, the implementation of a new route accounting system and other expenses. Other Acquisitions During fiscal 2021, the Company paid net cash consideration of approximately $39.7 million for various acquisitions, excluding the purchase of Next Level. During fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, the Company paid net cash consideration of approximately $22.2 million and $44.9 million for various acquisitions, respectively. The revenue, net income, assets and liabilities of the acquisitions did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] | |
Severance | SEVERANCE: Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company made changes to its organization as a result of COVID-19 to align its cost base to better support its clients' needs as the Company navigates the current environment and focuses on its long-term strategy. These actions included headcount reductions, which resulted in severance charges of approximately $145.8 million during the fiscal year ended October 2, 2020, which were recorded in both “Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization” and “Selling and general corporate expenses” on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. The Company reversed approximately $16.3 million of unpaid obligations related to severance during fiscal 2021, which were recorded in both "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)" and "Selling and general corporate expenses" on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. The majority of these charges were paid in fiscal 2021, with the remaining balance expected to be paid out within the next fiscal year. The following table summarizes the severance charges by segment recognized in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2020 (in millions): FSS United States $ 51.8 FSS International 87.3 Uniform 4.9 Corporate 1.8 $ 145.8 During fiscal 2018, the Company commenced a new phase of strategic reinvestment and reorganization actions to streamline and improve efficiencies and effectiveness of its selling, general and administrative functions, which resulted in net severance charges of approximately $18.7 million during fiscal 2019. The Company completed this cost savings phase as of September 27, 2019. There are no remaining unpaid obligations as of October 1, 2021. The following table summarizes the unpaid obligations for severance and related costs as of October 1, 2021, which are included in "Accrued payroll and related expenses" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. (in millions) October 2, 2020 Net Expense Reduction (1) Payments October 1, 2021 Fiscal 2018 Reorganization $ 2.5 $ — $ (2.5) $ — Fiscal 2020 Reorganization 118.5 (16.3) (77.6) 24.6 Total Reorganization $ 121.0 $ (16.3) $ (80.1) $ 24.6 (1) During fiscal 2021, several previously expected actions were reversed due to changes in facts, including the timing of client re-openings after COVID-19 restrictions began to lift. During fiscal 2021, the Uniform segment approved action plans to streamline and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the segment's general and administrative functions. Part of this action plan also included a series of facility consolidations and closures. As a result of these actions, severance charges of approximately $9.0 million were recorded within “Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)” on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2021. The severance charges are expected to be paid out through fiscal 2022. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized and is subject to an impairment test that the Company conducts annually or more frequently if a change in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicates that potential impairment exists, using discounted cash flows. The Company performs its assessment of goodwill at the reporting unit level. Within the FSS International segment, each country or region is evaluated separately since such operating units are relatively autonomous and separate goodwill balances have been recorded for each entity. The Company performs its annual impairment test as of the end of the fiscal month of August. If results of the qualitative assessment indicate a more likely than not determination or if a qualitative assessment is not performed, a quantitative test is performed by comparing the estimated fair value using discounted cash flow calculations of each reporting unit with its estimated net book value. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company performed the annual impairment test for goodwill for each of the reporting units using a quantitative testing approach. The Company compared the estimated fair value using discounted cash flow calculations of each reporting unit with its book value. Based on the evaluation performed, the Company determined that the fair value of each of the reporting units significantly exceeded its respective carrying amount, and therefore, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired. During fiscal 2020, the Company identified a triggering event from the decline in its stock price resulting from COVID-19. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative impairment test and recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $198.6 million related to one reporting unit within the FSS International segment on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2020. For tax purposes, the impairment charge was not tax deductible. The impaired reporting unit has a remaining goodwill balance of $91.0 million as of October 1, 2021. The determination of fair value for each reporting unit includes assumptions, which are considered Level 3 inputs, that are subject to risk and uncertainty. The discounted cash flow calculations are dependent on several subjective factors including the timing of future cash flows and the underlying margin projection assumptions, future growth rates and the discount rate. If assumptions or estimates in the fair value calculations change or if future cash flows or future growth rates vary from what was expected, including those assumptions relating to the duration and severity of COVID-19, this may impact the impairment analysis and could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate fair values and result in a decline in fair value that may trigger future impairment charges.

During fiscal 2020, the Company acquired customer relationship assets with values of approximately $9.7 million. Customer relationship assets are being amortized principally on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit with a weighted average life of approximately 14 years. The Aramark, Avendra and a majority of the other trade names are indefinite lived intangible assets and are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. The Company utilized the "relief-from-royalty" method, which considers the discounted estimated royalty payments that are expected to be avoided as a result of the trade names being owned. The Company completed its annual trade name impairment test for fiscal 2021, which did not result in an impairment charge. Amortization of other intangible assets for fiscal 2021, fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 was approximately $116.5 million, $117.6 million and $117.0 million, respectively. Based on the recorded balances at October 1, 2021, total estimated amortization of all acquisition-related intangible assets for fiscal years 2022 through 2026 are as follows (in thousands): 2022 $ 95,729 2023 91,583 2024 91,166 2025 91,308 2026 87,606 |

("ASI"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement on March 28, 2017 (as supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, 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"). The Credit Agreement includes senior secured term loan facilities consisting of the following as of October 1, 2021: • A United States dollar denominated term loan to ASI in the amount of $1,660.4 million, due 2025 ("U.S. Term B-3 Loans due 2025"), $833.6 million, due 2027 ("U.S. Term B-4 Loans due 2027") and $722.0 million due 2028 ("U.S. Term B-5 Loans due 2028"); • A yen denominated term loan to ASI in the amount of ¥9,087.8 million (approximately $81.8 million), due 2026 (the "Yen Term C-2 Loans due 2026"); • A Canadian dollar denominated term loan to Aramark Canada Ltd. in the amount of C$251.7 million (approximately $199.0 million), due 2026 (the "Canadian Term A-3 Loans due 2026"); and • A euro denominated term loan to Aramark Investments Limited, a U.K. borrower, in an amount of €108.5 million (approximately $125.7 million), of which €32.3 million (approximately $37.4 million) is due in 2023 (the "Euro Term A-1 Loans due 2023") and the remainder of which is due 2026 (the "Euro Term A-2 Loans due 2026"). The Credit Agreement also includes a revolving credit facility available for loans in United States dollars, Canadian dollars, euros and pounds sterling to ASI and certain foreign borrowers with aggregate commitments of $1.2 billion. A portion of the revolving credit facility with commitments of $53.7 million has a final maturity date of October 1, 2023 and the remainder of the revolving credit facility has a final maturity date of April 6, 2026. As of October 1, 2021, there was approximately $1,091.6 million available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility. The Company's revolving credit facility includes a $250.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. 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. 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 revolving credit facility is subject to a commitment fee ranging from a rate of 0.15% to 0.30% per annum. The actual rate within the range is based on a Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The primary borrower under the senior secured credit facilities is ASI. In addition, certain subsidiaries of ASI are borrowers of the term loan facilities and/or the revolving credit facility. The Company is not a guarantor under the senior secured credit facilities and is not subject to the covenants or obligations under the Credit Agreement. The applicable margin on the U.S. Term B-3 Loans due 2025 and the U.S. Term B-4 Loans due 2027 is 1.75% with respect to eurocurrency (LIBOR) borrowings, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.00%, and 0.75% with respect to base-rate borrowings, subject to a minimum base rate of 0.00%. The applicable margin on the U.S. Term B-5 Loans due 2028 is 2.50% with respect to eurocurrency (LIBOR) borrowings, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.00% and 1.50% with respect to base-rate borrowings, subject to a minimum base rate of 0.00%.

The actual spreads within all ranges referred to above are based on a Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement.

Amendment No. 11 provided for, among other things, the extension of the maturity date, in each case, applicable to a portion of the revolving credit facility (the "2018 Tranche Revolving Facility"), a portion of the Canadian dollar denominated term loan due October 2023 (the "Canadian Term A-2 Loans due 2023"), all of the Euro Term A-1 Loans due 2023, all of the Yen Term C-1 Loans due 2023 and all of the United States dollar denominated term loan due 2024 (the "U.S. Term B-2 Loans due 2024") and an increase of approximately $200.0 million in commitments available under the 2018 Tranche Revolving Facility, in each case, under the Credit Agreement through the establishment of Replacement Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Credit Agreement), New Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Credit Agreement), borrowings of Extended Term Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and borrowings of Refinancing Term Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), as applicable, under the Credit Agreement comprised of (i) in the case of the portion of the 2018 Tranche Revolving Facility which was extended, new 2021 Tranche Revolving Commitments (the "New 2021 Tranche Revolving Commitments") in an amount equal to $1,153.1 million, terminating in April 2026, (ii) in the case of the portion of the Canadian Term A-2 Loans due 2023 which was extended, the new Canadian Term A-3 Loans due 2026 in an amount equal to C$276.9 million, due in April 2026, (iii) in the case of the portion of the Euro Term A-1 Loans due 2023 which was extended, the new Euro Term A-2 Loans due 2026 in an amount equal to €78.8 million, due in April 2026, (iv) in the case of the Yen Term C-1 Loans due 2023, the new Yen Term C-2 Loans due 2026 in an amount equal to ¥9,343.3 million, due in April 2026 and (v) in the case of the U.S. Term B-2 Loans due 2024, the new U.S. Term B-5 Loans due 2028 in an amount equal to $833.0 million, due in April 2028. The new Canadian Term A-3 Loans due 2026, Euro Term A-2 Loans due 2026, Yen Term C-2 Loans due 2026 and U.S. Term B-5 Loans due 2028 were funded in full on April 6, 2021 and were applied by the Company to refinance in part the Canadian Term A-2 Loans due 2023 and Euro Term A-1 Loans due 2023 and to refinance in full the Yen Term C-1 Loans due 2023 and U.S. Term B-2 Loans due 2024, in each case, previously outstanding under the Credit Agreement. As of April 6, 2021 and after giving effect to Amendment No. 11, $53.7 million of 2018 Tranche Revolving Commitments, €33.6 million of Euro Term A-1 Loans due 2023 and C$27.1 million of Canadian Term A-2 Loans due 2023 were outstanding under the Credit Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 11, in each case due in October 2023 (which date is unchanged from the maturity date previously applicable to such loans and commitments, as applicable). The Canadian Term A-2 Loans due 2023 were repaid in full as of October 1, 2021. The New 2021 Tranche Revolving Commitments are subject to substantially similar terms currently relating to guarantees, collateral, mandatory prepayments and covenants that are applicable to the Company’s existing 2018 Tranche Revolving Facility outstanding under the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the remaining 2018 Revolving Tranche Commitments shall be available only in United States dollars and shall bear interest and accrue unused fees at rates consistent with the 2021 Tranche Revolving Facility. The Canadian Term A-3 Loans due 2026 are subject to substantially similar terms currently relating to guarantees, collateral, mandatory prepayments and covenants that are applicable to the Company’s Canadian Term A-2 Loans due 2023 under the Credit Agreement. Amortization payments in respect of the remaining Canadian Term A-2 Loans due 2023 have been reduced on a pro rate basis to reflect the partial refinancing thereof. The Euro Term A-2 Loans due 2026 are subject to substantially similar terms currently relating to guarantees, collateral, mandatory prepayments and covenants that are applicable to the Company’s existing Euro Term A-1 Loans due 2023 outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Amortization payments in respect of the remaining Euro Term A-1 Loans have been reduced on a pro rata basis to reflect the partial refinancing thereof. The Yen Term C-2 Loans due 2026 are subject to substantially similar terms currently relating to guarantees, collateral, mandatory prepayments and covenants that are applicable to the Company’s existing Yen Term C-1 Loans due 2023 outstanding under the Credit Agreement, except for the option to use TIBOR rate borrowings on or after January 31, 2022. The U.S. Term B-5 Loans due 2028 are subject to substantially similar terms currently relating to guarantees, collateral, mandatory prepayments and covenants that are applicable to the Company’s existing U.S. Term B Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The Company capitalized third-party costs of approximately $16.8 million related to banker fees, rating agency fees and legal fees directly attributable to the refinancings in Amendment No. 11, of which $11.6 million are included in "Long-Term Borrowings" and $5.2 million are included in "Other Assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 1, 2021 . Amounts paid for the capitalized third-party costs are included within "Other Financing activities" on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2021. Additionally the Company recorded a $2.7 million non-cash loss for the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs on the revolving credit facility and U.S. Term B-2 Loans due 2024 to "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2021. Fiscal 2020 Refinancing Transactions On January 15, 2020, ASI entered into Amendment No. 8 to the Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 8 provided for an incremental, senior secured credit facility under the Credit Agreement, the U.S. Term B-4 Loans due 2027, comprised of a United States dollar denominated term loan made to ASI in an amount equal to $900.0 million, due January 15, 2027. The U.S. Term B-4 Loans due 2027 were borrowed with an original issue discount of 0.125%. The net proceeds from the U.S. Term B-4 Loans due 2027 were used to redeem the aggregate $900.0 million principal amount outstanding on ASI’s 5.125% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) at a redemption price of 102.563% of the aggregate principal amount and to pay accrued interest, certain fees and related expenses. The Company recorded $20.9 million of charges to "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2020, consisting of the payment of a $23.1 million call premium and a $2.2 million non-cash gain for the write-off of unamortized debt premium and unamortized deferred financing costs on the 2024 Notes. The Company capitalized third-party costs of approximately $6.6 million related to banker fees, rating agency fees and legal fees directly attributable to the U.S. Term B-4 Loans due 2027, which are included in "Long-Term Borrowings" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts paid for the call premium and capitalized third-party costs are included within "Other financing activities" on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2020. The U.S. Term B-4 Loans due 2027 are subject to substantially similar terms relating to guarantees, collateral, mandatory prepayments and covenants that are applicable to the Company’s then existing U.S. Term B-2 Loans due 2024 and U.S. Term B-3 Loans due 2025, in each case, outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of October 2, 2020. Fiscal 2019 Refinancing Transactions On October 1, 2018, the Company extended the maturity dates of the then existing Revolving Credit Facility, Yen Term Loan due 2022, Canadian Term Loan due 2022, Canadian Term Loan due 2023 and Euro Term Loan due 2022 to October 1, 2023 and lowered the interest rates applicable to each such tranche of commitments or outstanding indebtedness, as applicable, as described above. Incremental Facilities 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 calculated in accordance with 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. Prepayments and Amortization The Credit Agreement requires the Company 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 step-downs 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 non-ordinary 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 Credit Agreement 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 B-5 Loans due 2028 in connection with any repricing transaction (as defined in the Credit Agreement) effected prior to October 6, 2021, a 1% prepayment premium. Prepaid term loans may not be reborrowed. The Company made optional prepayments of approximately $194.1 million of outstanding United States dollar and Canadian dollar term loans during fiscal 2021, no optional prepayments during fiscal 2020 and optional prepayments of approximately $500.0 million of outstanding United States dollar term loans during fiscal 2019. 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 new Canadian Term A-3 Loans due 2026 require the payment of installments in quarterly principal amounts of C$3.5 million from June 30, 2021 through March 31, 2023, C$5.2 million from June 30, 2023 through March 31, 2024, C$6.9 million from June 30, 2024 through March 31, 2025, C$10.4 million from June 30, 2025 through March 31, 2026 and C$159.2 million at maturity. The new Euro Term A-2 Loans due 2026 require the payment of installments in quarterly principal amounts of €1.0 million from June 30, 2021 through March 31, 2023, €1.5 million from June 30, 2023 through March 31, 2024, €2.0 million from June 30, 2024 through March 31, 2025, €3.0 million from June 30, 2025 through March 31, 2026 and €45.3 million at maturity. The remaining Euro Term A-1 Loans due 2023 require the payment of installments in quarterly principal amounts of €0.7 million from June 30, 2021 through September 30, 2021, €1.0 million from December 31, 2021 through September 30, 2022, €1.5 million from December 31, 2022 through June 30, 2023 and €24.0 million at maturity. The new Yen Term C-2 Loans due 2026 require the payment of installments in quarterly principal amounts of ¥116.8 million from June 30, 2021 through March 31, 2023, ¥175.2 million from June 30, 2023 through March 31, 2024, ¥233.6 million from June 30, 2024 through March 31, 2025, ¥350.4 million from June 30, 2025 through March 31, 2026 and ¥5,372.4 million at maturity. The U.S. Term B-5 Loans due 2028 require the payment of installments in a quarterly principal amount of $2.1 million from June 30, 2021 through March 31, 2028, and $774.7 million at maturity. All quarterly amortization installments with respect to the U.S. Term B-5 Loans due 2028 were repaid in full as of October 1, 2021. 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 United States Guarantors. All obligations under the Credit Agreement, 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 United States Guarantors and (iii) a security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible assets of Aramark Intermediate HoldCo Corporation, ASI or any of the United States Guarantors. Certain Covenants The Credit Agreement contains a number of 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 amounts to ASI from its restricted subsidiaries; make certain acquisitions; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; amend material agreements governing ASI's subordinated debt (or any indebtedness that refinances its subordinated debt); and fundamentally change ASI's business. The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants, such as financial and other reporting, and certain events of default. At October 1, 2021, 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 5.125x. Consolidated total indebtedness secured by a lien is defined in the Credit Agreement as total indebtedness consisting of debt for borrowed money, finance leases, debt in respect of sale-leaseback transactions, disqualified and preferred stock and advances under the receivables facility secured by a lien reduced by the amount of cash and cash equivalents in 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 lenders under the Credit Agreement (other than the lenders in respect of ASI’s U.S. Term B-3 Loans due 2025, U.S. Term B-4 Loans due 2027 and U.S. Term B-5 Loans due 2028 which lenders shall not benefit from the maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio) failed to waive any such default, would also constitute a default under the indentures governing the senior notes. On April 22, 2020, as a result of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business, ASI entered into Amendment No. 9 to the Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 9 provided for a covenant waiver period which suspended the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio covenant required under the credit agreement for four fiscal quarters, commencing with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 through the third quarter of fiscal 2021, subject to, among other things, ongoing compliance with a minimum liquidity condition of $400.0 million and restrictions on making certain restricted payments (including share repurchases) and investments in unrestricted subsidiaries, in each case, as set forth in Amendment No. 9. This exclusion was intended to prevent the effects of COVID-19 from impacting the covenant calculation. The covenant waiver period expired at the beginning of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. The Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio debt covenant is once again effective and the amendment adjusted period ended October 1, 2021 consists of results from the third quarter of fiscal 2019 through the first quarter of fiscal 2020 plus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, excluding the results of the second quarter of fiscal 2020 through the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The actual ratio at October 1, 2021 was 2.32x. 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 2.00x 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. The actual ratio was 2.60x for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2021. 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 4.750% Senior Notes due 2026 On June 2, 2021, the Company redeemed the aggregate $500.0 million principal amount outstanding on the 4.750% 2026 Notes at a redemption price of 102.375% of the aggregate principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest. The Company recorded $16.0 million of charges to "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2021, consisting of the payment of a $11.9 million call premium and a $4.1 million non-cash loss for the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs on the 4.750% 2026 Notes. The amount paid for the call premium is included within "Other financing activities" on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2021. 6.375% Senior Notes due 2025 On April 27, 2020, ASI issued $1,500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Notes due May 1, 2025 (the "6.375% 2025 Notes"). ASI used the net proceeds from the 6.375% 2025 Notes for general corporate purposes. The Company capitalized third-party costs of approximately $22.3 million directly attributable to the 6.375% 2025 Notes, which are included in "Long-Term Borrowings" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and within "Other financing activities" on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2020. The 6.375% 2025 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 27, 2020 (the "6.375% 2025 Notes Indenture"), entered into by and among ASI, the Company and certain other Aramark entities, as guarantors, and the U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 6.375% 2025 Notes were issued at par. The 6.375% 2025 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of ASI. The 6.375% 2025 Notes rank equal in right of payment to all of the Issuer's existing and future senior indebtedness and will rank senior in right of payment to the Issuer's future subordinated indebtedness. The 6.375% 2025 Notes are guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by the Company and substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of ASI. The guarantees of the 6.375% 2025 Notes rank equal in right of payment to all of the senior obligations of such guarantor. The 6.375% 2025 Notes are effectively subordinated to all of ASI's existing and future secured indebtedness, 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 6.375% 2025 Notes. Interest on the 6.375% 2025 Notes is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year. In the event of certain types of changes of control, the holders of the 6.375% 2025 Notes may require ASI to purchase for cash all or a portion of their 6.375% 2025 Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such 6.375% 2025 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. At any time prior to May 1, 2022, ASI has the option to redeem all or a part of the 6.375% 2025 Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such 6.375% 2025 Notes plus an applicable premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the date of redemption. In addition, prior to May 1, 2022, ASI has the option to redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of all 6.375% 2025 Notes at a purchase price equal to 106.375% of the principal amount of such 6.375% 2025 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings, provided that at least 50% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% 2025 Notes originally issued remain outstanding immediately after the purchase and the redemption occurs within 90 days of the closing date of the equity offering. The 6.375% 2025 Notes Indenture contains 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 6.375% 2025 Notes Indenture also provides 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 6.375% 2025 Notes to become or to be declared due and payable. Further, a failure to pay any obligations under the 6.375% 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. 5.000% Senior Notes due 2028 On January 18, 2018, ASI issued $1,150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.000% Senior Notes due February 1, 2028 (the "2028 Notes"). The net proceeds from the 2028 Notes were used to finance the AmeriPride acquisition, to pay down certain borrowings under the revolving credit facility and to pay fees related to the transaction. The Company capitalized third-party costs of approximately $14.2 million directly attributable to the 2028 Notes, which are included in "Long-Term Borrowings" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized over the debt period. The 2028 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 18, 2018 (the "2028 Notes Indenture"), entered into by and among ASI, the Company and certain other Aramark entities, as guarantors, and the U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 2028 Notes were issued at par. The 2028 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of ASI. The 2028 Notes rank equal in right of payment to all of the Issuer's existing and future senior indebtedness and will rank senior in right of payment to the Issuer's future subordinated indebtedness. The 2028 Notes are guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by the Company and substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of ASI. The guarantees of the 2028 Notes rank equal in right of payment to all of the senior obligations of such guarantor. The 2028 Notes are effectively subordinated to all of ASI's existing and future secured indebtedness, 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 2028 Notes. Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year. At any time prior to February 1, 2023, ASI has the option |

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 and how the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively for designated hedges. 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 approximately $3.1 billion notional amount of outstanding interest rate swap agreements as of October 1, 2021, which fix the rate on a like amount of variable rate borrowings through December of fiscal 2028. During fiscal 2021, the Company entered into approximately $500.0 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 notional amounts of $250.0 million matured during fiscal 2021 . 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. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. As of October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020 , approximately ($49.2) million and ($87.6) million, respectively, of unrealized net of tax losses related to the interest rate swaps were included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss." The following table summarizes the effect of the Company's derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments on Other comprehensive income (loss) (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 September 27, 2019 Interest rate swap agreements (1) $ 1,228 $ (110,817) $ (84,392) (1) Fiscal 2020 was impacted by changes in interest rates due to actions taken by the federal government in response to COVID-19. 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 October 1, 2021 , the Company has contracts for approximately 6.0 million gallons outstanding through June of fiscal 2022. 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 $4.4 million for fiscal 2021 and losses of approximately $1.3 million and $4.1 million for fiscal 2020, and fiscal 2019, respectively. The change in fair value for unsettled contracts is included in "Selling and general corporate expenses" on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. When the contracts settle, the gain or loss is recorded to "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)" on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. As of October 1, 2021, the Company had foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding with nominal notional amounts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on short-term intercompany loans to certain international subsidiaries. Gains and losses on foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized in earnings 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 summarizes the location and fair value, using Level 2 inputs (see Note 16 for a description of the fair value levels), of the Company's derivatives designated and not designated as hedging instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands): Balance Sheet Location October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 ASSETS Not designated as hedging instruments: Gasoline and diesel fuel agreements Prepayments and other current assets $ 2,551 $ — LIABILITIES Designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate swap agreements Accounts payable 1,541 1,494 Interest rate swap agreements Other Noncurrent Liabilities 65,011 116,882 66,552 118,376 Not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign currency forward exchange contracts Accounts Payable 27 121 Gasoline and diesel fuel agreements Accounts Payable — 1,805 $ 66,579 $ 120,302 The following table summarizes the location of loss (gain) reclassified from "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" into earnings for derivatives designated as hedging instruments and the location of loss (gain) for the Company's derivatives not designated as hedging instruments in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended Income Statement Location October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 September 27, 2019 Designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate swap agreements Interest and Other Financing Costs, net $ 50,595 $ 34,409 $ (6,484) Not designated as hedging instruments: Gasoline and diesel fuel agreements Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)/ Selling and general corporate expenses (8,044) 5,768 6,168 Foreign currency forward exchange contracts Interest and Other Financing Costs, net (94) 185 145 (8,138) 5,953 6,313 $ 42,457 $ 40,362 $ (171) The Company has an outstanding Japanese yen denominated term loan in the amount of ¥9,087.8 million.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue Recognition | REVENUE RECOGNITION:The Company generates revenue through sales of food, facility and uniform services to customers based on written contracts at the locations it serves. Within the FSS United States and FSS International segments, the Company provides food and beverage services, including catering and retail services, or facilities services, including plant operations and maintenance, custodial, housekeeping, landscaping and other services. Within the Uniform segment, the Company provides a full service uniform solution, including delivery, cleaning and maintenance. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company accounts for a customer contract when both parties have approved the arrangement and are committed to perform their respective obligations, each party's rights can be identified, payment terms can be identified, the contract has commercial substance and it is probable the Company will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it is entitled. Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of the promised product or service to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services. Performance Obligations The Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligation is satisfied. Each contract generally has one performance obligation, which is satisfied over time. The Company primarily accounts for its performance obligations under the series guidance, using the as-invoiced practical expedient when applicable. The Company applies the right to invoice practical expedient to record revenue as the services are provided, given the nature of the services provided and the frequency of billing under the customer contracts. Under this practical expedient, the Company recognizes revenue in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date and for which the Company has the right to invoice the customer. Certain arrangements include performance obligations which include variable consideration (primarily per transaction fees). For these arrangements, the Company does not need to estimate the variable consideration for the contract and allocate to the entire performance obligation; therefore, the variable fees are recognized in the period they are earned. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table presents revenue disaggregated by revenue source (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended October 1, 2021 (1) October 2, 2020 (1) September 27, 2019 FSS United States: Business & Industry $ 695.7 $ 1,097.3 $ 1,587.0 Education 2,124.4 2,416.4 3,228.8 Healthcare 891.2 824.6 933.5 Sports, Leisure & Corrections 1,511.3 1,535.8 2,557.5 Facilities & Other 1,586.7 1,492.6 1,591.8 Total FSS United States 6,809.3 7,366.7 9,898.6 FSS International: Europe 1,347.5 1,473.5 2,044.4 Rest of World 1,518.7 1,472.3 1,698.5 Total FSS International 2,866.2 2,945.8 3,742.9 Uniform 2,420.5 2,517.1 2,585.8 Total Revenue $ 12,096.0 $ 12,829.6 $ 16,227.3 (1) COVID-19 had a negative impact on revenue for both the fiscal year ended October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020 (see Note 1). Contract Balances The Company defers sales commissions earned by its sales force that are considered to be incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract tied to its food, facilities and uniform services. The deferred costs are amortized using the portfolio approach on a straight line basis over the average period of benefit, approximately 8.1 years, and are assessed for impairment on a periodic basis. Determination of the amortization period and the subsequent assessment for impairment of the contract cost asset requires judgment. Employee sales commissions are recorded within "Other Assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (see Note 1). Leasehold improvements and costs to fulfill contracts include payments made by the Company to enhance the service resources used by the Company to satisfy its performance obligation. These amounts are amortized on a straight-line basis over the contract period. If a contract is terminated prior to its maturity date, the Company is typically reimbursed for the unamortized amount. As of October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, the Company had $771.5 million and $776.1 million of leasehold improvements capitalized in "Property and equipment, net" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cost to fulfill - Client is recorded within "Other Assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (see Note 1). Long-term prepaid rent is amortized over the contract period. If a contract is terminated prior to its maturity date, the Company is typically reimbursed for the unamortized amount. Long-term prepaid rent is recorded within "Operating Lease Right-of use Assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (see Notes 1 and 8). Other costs to fulfill contracts represent personalized work apparel, linens and other rental items in service in the Uniform segment. The amounts are recorded at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which primarily range from one Cost to fulfill - Rental merchandise in-service are recorded within "Other Assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (see Note 1). The following table summarizes the location of the expense recorded in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income related to the Company's contract balances (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended Income Statement Location October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 September 27, 2019 Employee sales commissions Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) $ 23.9 $ 21.8 $ 20.0 Leasehold improvements Depreciation and amortization 131.6 160.8 149.0 Cost to fulfill - Client Depreciation and amortization 20.0 20.8 20.5 Long-term prepaid rent Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) 25.3 23.1 16.0 Cost to fulfill - Rental merchandise in-service Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) 274.5 325.7 318.2 Deferred income is recognized in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets when the Company has received consideration, or has the right to receive consideration, in advance of the transfer of the performance obligation of the contract to the customer, primarily prepaid meal plans. The consideration received remains a liability until the goods or services have been provided to the customer. The Company classifies deferred income as current as the arrangement is short term in nature. If the Company cannot render its performance obligation according to contract terms after receiving the consideration in advance, amounts may be required contractually to be refunded to the customer. During the fiscal year ended October 1, 2021, deferred income increased related to customer prepayments and decreased related to income recognized during the period as a result of satisfying the performance obligation or return of funds related to non-performance. For the fiscal year ended October 1, 2021, the Company recognized $208.0 million of revenue that was included in deferred income at the beginning of the period. Deferred income balances are summarized in the following table (in millions): October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 Deferred income (1) $ 319.3 $ 263.8 (1) Due to the impact of COVID-19, the Company refunded approximately $53.5 million of advanced payments for meal plans back to its clients during fiscal 2021. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | LEASES: The Company has lease arrangements primarily related to real estate, vehicles and equipment, which generally have terms of one one As a result of adopting Accounting Standards Codification 842 ("ASC 842" or the "new lease standard") on September 28, 2019 (first day of fiscal 2020), the Company recognized operating lease liabilities and operating lease right-of-use assets on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying assets for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease liabilities and operating lease right-of-use assets are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Deferred rent, tenant improvement allowances and prepaid rent are included in the operating lease right-of-use asset balances. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components are combined with the related lease components and accounted for as lease components for all classes of underlying assets. As permitted under the transition guidance upon adoption of ASC 842, the Company elected the following practical expedients: • the simplified approach to not recast comparative periods and to apply the new lease standard on a prospective basis beginning in the year of initial adoption; • the package of practical expedients to not reassess the lease determination, lease classification or initial direct costs for leases commenced prior to adoption; • the component election to not separate lease and non-lease components in all arrangements that contain a lease; and • the short-term lease recognition exemption whereby lease-related assets and liabilities are not recognized for arrangements with initial lease terms of one year or less. The Company did not elect the use of the hindsight expedient for determining the lease term. Variable lease payments, which primarily consist of leases associated with the Company's revenue contracts with customers, real estate taxes, common area maintenance charges, insurance costs and other operating expenses, are not included in the operating lease right-of-use asset or operating lease liability balances and are recognized in the period in which the expenses are incurred. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain they will be exercised or not, respectively. Options to extend lease terms that are reasonably certain of exercise are recognized as part of the operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability balances. The Company is required to discount its future minimum lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Company uses a portfolio approach to determine the incremental borrowing rate based on the geographic location of the lease and the remaining lease term. The incremental borrowing rate is calculated using a base line rate plus an applicable margin. The following table summarizes the location of the operating and finance leases in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands), as well as the weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate: Leases Balance Sheet Location October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 Assets: Operating (1), (2) Operating Lease Right-of-use Assets $ 587,854 $ 551,394 Finance Property and Equipment, net 138,368 134,080 Total lease assets $ 726,222 $ 685,474 Liabilities: Current Operating (2) Current operating lease liabilities $ 67,280 $ 71,810 Finance Current maturities of long-term borrowings 27,829 29,983 Noncurrent Operating (2) Noncurrent Operating Lease Liabilities 314,378 341,667 Finance Long-term borrowings 118,539 112,605 Total lease liabilities $ 528,026 $ 556,065 Weighted average remaining lease term (in years) Operating leases 8.3 8.8 Finance leases 8.3 8.5 Weighted average discount rate Operating leases 3.7 % 3.6 % Finance leases 4.1 % 4.2 % (1) Includes $251.3 million and $193.6 million of long-term prepaid rent as of October 1, 2021 and as of October 2, 2020, respectively.

Employee Pension and Profit Sharing Plans | EMPLOYEE PENSION AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS: In the United States, the Company maintains qualified contributory and non-contributory defined contribution retirement plans for eligible employees, with Company contributions to the plans based on earnings performance or salary level. The Company also has a non-qualified retirement savings plan for certain employees. The total expense of the above plans for fiscal 2021 , fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 was $28.1 million, $17.4 million and $41.5 million, respectively. The higher expense in fiscal 2019 was due to additional employer matching contributions as a result of cash tax savings from United States tax reform. The Company also maintains similar contributory and non-contributory defined contribution retirement plans at several of its international operations, primarily in Canada and the United Kingdom. The total expense of these international plans for fiscal 2021 , fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 was $15.2 million, $13.7 million and $11.7 million, respectively. The following table sets forth the components of net periodic pension cost for the Company's single-employer defined benefit pension plans for fiscal 2021, fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 September 27, 2019 Service cost $ 1,327 $ 2,996 $ 6,391 Interest cost 4,736 9,180 11,287 Expected return on plan assets (14,003) (18,883) (22,970) Settlements and curtailments (1) 61,706 — 283 Amortization of prior service cost 32 26 104 Recognized net loss 3,829 2,324 1,094 Net periodic pension expense (income) $ 57,627 $ (4,357) $ (3,811) (1) During fiscal 2021, the Company terminated certain Canadian single-employer defined benefit pension plans and recognized a non-cash loss of $60.9 million on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. The following table sets forth changes in the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets for these plans (in thousands): Change in benefit obligation: October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 Benefit obligation, beginning $ 436,333 $ 401,207 Foreign currency translation 20,853 6,067 Service cost 1,327 2,996 Interest cost 4,736 9,180 Employee contributions 110 853 Actuarial loss (3,663) 32,769 Benefits paid (15,335) (16,739) Settlements and curtailments (223,411) — Benefit obligation, ending $ 220,950 $ 436,333 Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets, beginning $ 439,053 $ 425,967 Foreign currency translation 20,698 5,980 Employer contributions 3,572 4,152 Employee contributions 110 853 Actual return on plan assets 16,957 18,840 Benefits paid (15,335) (16,739) Settlements and curtailments (226,042) — Fair value of plan assets, end 239,013 439,053 Funded Status at end of year $ 18,063 $ 2,720 Amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of the following (in thousands): October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 Noncurrent benefit asset (included in Other Assets) $ 32,522 $ 16,617 Current benefit liability (included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities) (2,605) — Noncurrent benefit liability (included in Other Noncurrent Liabilities) (11,854) (13,897) Net actuarial loss (included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss before taxes) 46,464 111,035 The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine pension expense of the respective fiscal years: October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 Discount rate 2.5 % 2.5 % Rate of compensation increase 0.8 % 1.9 % Long-term rate of return on assets 3.3 % 4.3 % The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the funded status of the respective fiscal years: October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 Discount rate 2.1 % 2.4 % Rate of compensation increase 1.6 % 2.0 % Assumptions, including discount rate, expected return on assets, compensation increases and health care trends, are adjusted annually, as necessary, based on prevailing market conditions and actual experience. The Company applies a spot-rate approach for the discount rate used in the calculation of pension interest and service cost. The spot-rate approach applies separate discount rates for each projected benefit payment in the calculation. The accumulated benefit obligation as of October 1, 2021 was $220.2 million. During fiscal 2021, actuarial losses of approximately $6.5 million were recognized in other comprehensive income (before taxes) and $59.1 million of settlement losses and $3.7 million of actuarial losses were recognized as net periodic pension cost during such period. The accumulated benefit obligation as of October 2, 2020 was $435.1 million. During fiscal 2020 , settlement gains and actuarial losses of approximately $0.2 million and $33.1 million, respectively, were recognized in other comprehensive loss (before taxes) and $2.3 million of actuarial losses was recognized as net periodic pension cost during such period. The following table sets forth information for the Company's single-employer pension plans with an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets as of October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020 (in thousands): October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 Projected benefit obligation (1) $ 28,656 $ 153,338 Accumulated benefit obligation (1) 28,656 152,729 (1) Decrease driven by the UK plans switching from liability positions in fiscal 2020 to asset positions in fiscal 2021. Assets of the plans are generally invested with the goal of principal preservation and enhancement over the long-term. The primary goal is total return, consistent with prudent investment management. The Company's investment policies also require an appropriate level of diversification across the asset categories. As the Company contemplates or moves toward the wind down of plans, it may shift toward a more conservative investment approach with a higher proportion of fixed income and cash investments to ensure adequate liquidity at the time of wind down. The current overall capital structure and targeted ranges for asset classes are 30-45% invested in equity securities, 40-65% invested in debt securities and 5-15% in real estate investments and cash and cash equivalents. Performance of the plans is monitored on a regular basis and adjustments of the asset allocations are made when deemed necessary. The weighted-average long-term rate of return on assets has been determined based on an estimated weighted-average of long-term returns of major asset classes, taking into account historical performance of plan assets, the current interest rate environment, plan demographics, acceptable risk levels and the estimated value of active asset management. The fair value of plan assets for the Company's defined benefit pension plans as of October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020 is as follows (see Note 16 for a description of the fair value levels) (in thousands): October 1, 2021 Quoted prices in active markets Significant other observable inputs Significant unobservable inputs Cash and cash equivalents $ 20,869 $ 20,869 $ — $ — Equity securities: Investment trusts 2,343 2,343 — — Investment funds: Equity funds 87,832 — 87,832 — Fixed income funds 115,157 — 115,157 — Real estate 12,812 — — 12,812 Total $ 239,013 $ 23,212 $ 202,989 $ 12,812 October 2, 2020 Quoted prices in active markets Significant other observable inputs Significant unobservable inputs Cash and cash equivalents $ 76,072 $ 76,072 $ — $ — Equity securities: Investment trusts 4,717 4,717 — — Investment funds: Equity funds 74,852 — 74,852 — Fixed income funds 272,349 — 272,349 — Real estate 11,063 — — 11,063 Total $ 439,053 $ 80,789 $ 347,201 $ 11,063 The fair value of the investment funds is based on the value of the underlying assets, as reported to the Plan by the trustees. They are comprised of a portfolio of underlying securities that can be valued based on trading information on active markets. Cash and cash equivalents include direct cash holdings, which are valued based on cost, and short-term deposits and investments in money market funds, for which fair value measurements are all based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active. Investments in equity securities and equity funds include publicly-traded domestic companies (approximately 38%) and international companies (approximately 62%) that are diversified across industry, country and stock market capitalization. Investments in fixed income funds primarily consist of international corporate bonds and government securities. For equity securities, the investments are predominantly valued using a market approach based on the closing fair market prices of identical instruments in the principal market on which they are traded. For investment funds, fair value is calculated by applying the Plan's percentage ownership in the fund to the total market value of the account's underlying securities and is therefore categorized as Level 2, as the Plan does not directly own shares in these underlying investments. Substantially all of the real estate investments are in international markets. It is the Company's policy to fund at least the minimum required contributions as outlined in the required statutory actuarial valuation for each plan. The following table sets forth the benefits expected to be paid in the next five fiscal years and in aggregate for the five fiscal years thereafter by the Company's defined benefit pension plans (in thousands): Fiscal 2022 (1) $ 24,309 Fiscal 2023 7,210 Fiscal 2024 7,464 Fiscal 2025 7,825 Fiscal 2026 7,702 Fiscal 2027 – 2031 43,625 (1) Increase driven by expected payout of legacy AmeriPride United States plan. The estimated benefit payments above are based on assumptions about future events. Actual benefit payments may vary significantly from these estimates. The expected contributions to be paid to the Company's defined benefit pension plans during fiscal 2022 are approximately $6.3 million. Multiemployer Defined Benefit Pension Plans The Company contributes to a number of multiemployer defined benefit pension plans under the terms of collective-bargaining agreements ("CBA") that cover its union-represented employees. The risks of participating in these multiemployer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following respects: a. Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers. b. If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers. c. If the Company chooses to stop participating in some of its multiemployer plans, the Company may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability. The Company's participation in these plans for fiscal 2021 is outlined in the table below. The "EIN/Pension Plan Number" column provides the Employee Identification Number (EIN) and the three-digit plan number, if applicable. Unless otherwise noted, the most recent Pension Protection Act (PPA) zone status available in 2021 and 2020 is for the plans' two most recent fiscal year-ends. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the critical and declining zone are generally less than 65% funded and projected to become insolvent in the next 15 or 20 years depending on the ratio of active to inactive participants; plans in the critical zone are generally less than 65% funded; plans in the seriously endangered zone are less than 80% funded and are projected to have an accumulated deficiency in the current plan year or the next six plan years; plans in the endangered zone are less than 80% funded or are projected to have an accumulated funding deficiency in the current plan year or the next six plan years; and plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded. The "FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented" column indicates plans for which a financial improvement plan (FIP) or a rehabilitation plan (RP) is either pending or has been implemented. The last column lists the expiration date(s) of the CBA(s) to which the plans are subject. There have been no significant changes that affect the comparability of fiscal 2021, fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 contributions.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES: The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, the (benefit) provision for income taxes represents income taxes payable or refundable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax bases in assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and enacted tax legislation. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets ("DTAs") when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. The components of (Loss) Income Before Income Taxes by source of (loss) income are as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 September 27, 2019 United States $ (147,735) $ (291,436) $ 418,902 Non-United States 14,883 (356,283) 137,270 $ (132,852) $ (647,719) $ 556,172 The (Benefit) Provision for Income Taxes consists of (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 September 27, 2019 Current: Federal $ (18,245) $ (69,399) $ 8,781 State and local (1,309) (4,616) 19,966 Non-United States 22,155 21,779 38,456 2,601 (52,236) 67,203 Deferred: Federal (15,364) (79,054) 35,251 State and local (11,652) (19,627) 7,683 Non-United States (16,218) (35,367) (2,431) (43,234) (134,048) 40,503 $ (40,633) $ (186,284) $ 107,706 During fiscal 2021, the Current (Benefit) Provision for Income Taxes includes $16.7 million of tax expense related to an increase in unrecognized tax benefits, offset by a tax benefit of $13.8 million to the Deferred (Benefit) Provision for Income Taxes related to a corresponding decrease in deferred tax liabilities, resulting in a net tax expense to the (Benefit) Provision for Income Taxes of $2.9 million related to unrecognized tax benefits. Current taxes receivable of $23.5 million and $123.6 million at October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, respectively, are included in "Prepayments and other current assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Current income taxes payable of $0.3 million and $3.1 million at October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, respectively, are included in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During fiscal 2021, the Company received approximately $93.6 million of proceeds related to the fiscal 2020 income tax return from the net operating losses ("NOLs") generated in fiscal 2020 as a result of the CARES Act. The (Benefit) Provision for Income Taxes varies from the amount determined by applying the United States Federal statutory rate to (Loss) Income Before Income Taxes as a result of the following (all percentages are as a percentage of (Loss) Income Before Income Taxes): Fiscal Year Ended October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 September 27, 2019 United States statutory income tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % Increase (decrease) in taxes, resulting from: State income taxes, net of Federal tax benefit 7.7 3.0 4.2 Foreign taxes (1) 6.1 (0.5) 2.2 Foreign valuation allowances (16.5) (3.4) — Foreign goodwill impairment — (5.0) — Permanent book/tax differences (0.4) (0.7) 0.6 Uncertain tax positions (2.2) 0.1 — Foreign tax credit valuation allowance (27.5) — (2.3) Stock compensation — 3.6 (0.2) CARES Act - Carryback rate differential 37.9 9.8 — Divestiture of HCT — — (4.4) Canada Defined Benefit Pension Plan Termination 3.0 — — Tax credits & other 1.5 0.9 (1.7) Effective income tax rate 30.6 % 28.8 % 19.4 % (1) Includes differences between the United States statutory tax rate and tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, foreign withholding taxes, taxation of foreign earnings and the tax on "Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income" ("GILTI"). The effective tax rate is based on expected income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to the Company in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. Judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating the tax return positions. Reserves are established when positions are "more likely than not" to be challenged and not sustained. Reserves are adjusted at each financial statement date to reflect the impact of audit settlements, expiration of statutes of limitation, developments in tax law and ongoing discussions with tax authorities. Accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions are recognized as part of the income tax provision. The Company considers existing evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact the need for valuation allowances against DTAs. Based on cumulative losses in fiscal 2021 as negative evidence, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against DTAs of certain foreign subsidiaries of approximately $22.0 million to the (Benefit) Provision for Income Taxes on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income during fiscal 2021. The Company continues to monitor operating performance in light of COVID-19 and believes that based on future reversals of deferred tax liabilities ("DTLs") and future taxable income, it is more likely than not that the remaining NOL carryforwards and DTAs will be realized. On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted in response to COVID-19. The CARES Act, among other things, permits NOLs incurred in fiscal 2019, 2020 and 2021 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. NOLs arising in fiscal 2019, 2020, or 2021 are created in years that have a 21.0% federal income tax rate. If these NOLs are carried back to years prior to fiscal 2018, the resulting refund would be in years with a 35.0% federal income tax rate. During fiscal 2021, the Company recorded, as a result of the CARES Act, a net benefit to the (Benefit) Provision for Income Taxes of approximately $12.0 million, of which $50.3 million reflects the NOLs expected to be carried back to Pre-Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") years at 35.0% as opposed to the current year rate of 21.0%, which more than offsets the $36.5 million valuation allowance on DTAs related to foreign tax credit ("FTC") carryforwards and $1.8 million of tax benefits eliminated by the NOLs carried back. For the fiscal year ended October 1, 2021 , the NOL carryback generated a $3.7 million current taxes receivable, along with $71.3 million of FTCs and $11.0 million of general business credits that will be used to offset future federal income tax liabilities. The Company will continue to monitor and assess the impact the CARES Act and similar legislation in other countries may have on the Company's business and financial results. The Company recorded a net benefit to the (Benefit) Provision for Income Taxes of approximately $4.0 million during fiscal 2021 related to the release of certain stranded tax effects when the Company terminated certain Canadian pension plans (see Note 9). During fiscal 2020, the Company recorded, as a result of the CARES Act, a net benefit to the (Benefit) Provision for Income Taxes of approximately $58.4 million, of which $63.4 million reflects the NOLs expected to be carried back to Pre-TCJA years at 35.0% as opposed to the current year rate of 21.0%. The Company also re-established certain reserves of approximately $5.0 million, which expired due to statutes but were re-opened due to the carryback period. The NOL carryback generated for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2020 a $62.1 million income tax receivable, along with $65.1 million of FTCs and $35.9 million of general business credits that will be used to offset future federal income tax liabilities. During fiscal 2020, based on cumulative losses and the goodwill impairment recorded in the FSS International segment of $198.6 million (see Note 4) as negative evidence, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against DTAs of certain foreign subsidiaries of approximately $21.4 million. The goodwill impairment charge was nondeductible for income tax purposes. The effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2020 also included an income tax benefit of approximately $46.2 million, as a result of an excess tax benefit recognized in relation to equity awards exercised during fiscal 2020, including by the former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. This benefit reflects a federal tax rate of 35.0% due to the NOL being carried back to pre-TCJA tax years. The CARES Act contains modifications on the limitation of business interest for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 to increase the allowable business interest deduction from 30.0% of adjusted taxable income to 50.0% of adjusted taxable income. The CARES Act also includes a technical correction to the TCJA that provides that Qualified Improvement Property, which includes almost any improvement to the interior of leased or owned space, is eligible for bonus depreciation retroactively to the January 1, 2018 effective date of the TCJA. As of October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, the components of Deferred Income Taxes are as follows (in thousands): October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 Deferred tax liabilities: Property and equipment $ 114,435 $ 183,789 Investments 41,631 13,300 Other intangible assets, including goodwill 544,649 500,447 Cost to fulfill - Rental merchandise in-service 59,188 52,334 Operating Lease Right-of-use Assets 88,824 89,464 Other 26,186 45,589 Gross deferred tax liability 874,913 884,923 Deferred tax assets: Derivatives 17,288 30,625 Insurance 18,758 23,784 Employee compensation and benefits 104,980 128,771 Accruals and allowances 32,457 31,218 Operating lease liabilities 97,505 102,259 NOL/credit carryforwards and other 364,751 261,763 Gross deferred tax asset, before valuation allowances 635,739 578,420 Valuation allowances (97,472) (38,977) Net deferred tax liability $ 336,646 $ 345,480 Rollforward of the valuation allowance is as follows: October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 Balance, beginning of year $ (38,977) $ (17,532) Additions (1) (58,495) (21,445) Balance, end of year $ (97,472) $ (38,977) (1) The addition in fiscal 2021 is mainly driven by cumulative losses in certain foreign subsidiaries and valuation allowances against foreign tax credits, which are not expected to be utilized before their expiration dates. The addition in fiscal 2020 was mainly driven by cumulative losses in certain foreign subsidiaries. DTLs of approximately $383.2 million and $398.8 million as of October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020 , respectively, are included in "Deferred Income Taxes and Other Noncurrent Liabilities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. DTAs of approximately $46.6 million and $53.3 million as of October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020 , respectively, are included in "Other Assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of October 1, 2021, certain subsidiaries have recorded DTAs of $122.2 million associated with accumulated federal, state and foreign NOL carryforwards. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain state and foreign NOL carryforwards will not be realized. As a result, the Company has a valuation allowance of approximately $60.9 million on the DTAs related to these state and foreign NOL carryforwards as of October 1, 2021. State NOL carryforwards generally begin to expire in 2024 and foreign NOL carryforwards generally have no expiration date. As of October 1, 2021, the Company has approximately $223.4 million of FTC carryforwards, which begin to expire in 2026, along with approximately $12.7 million of general business credits, which begin to expire in 2035, and approximately $2.3 million of state interest restriction carryforwards, which do not expire. The Company has a valuation allowance of approximately $36.5 million on the DTAs related to FTC carryforwards as of October 1, 2021. Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries for which no DTL was recorded amounted to approximately $329.0 million and $251.1 million as of October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020 , respectively. The foreign withholding tax cost associated with remitting these earnings is approximately $19.8 million and $14.8 million as of October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020 , respectively. Such amounts have not been accrued by the Company as it believes those foreign earnings are permanently reinvested. The Company has approximately $65.4 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of October 1, 2021, of which $36.0 million, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate and $29.4 million would result in an adjustment to the DTL. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits follows (in thousands): October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 Balance, beginning of year $ 34,578 $ 36,272 Additions based on tax positions taken in the current year 355 1,257 Additions for tax positions taken in prior years (1) 32,589 — Reductions for remeasurements, settlements and payments (1,573) (392) Reductions due to statute expiration (535) (2,559) Balance, end of year $ 65,414 $ 34,578 (1) Includes a $29.4 million reclass from deferred income tax liabilities for a position taken related to a divestiture in a prior year. The Company has approximately $6.6 million and $4.6 million accrued for interest and penalties as of October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and recorded $2.0 million and ($0.8) million in interest and penalties during fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in "(Benefit) Provision for Income Taxes" on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. The Company has approximately $12.9 million of general business credits that will reduce the gross unrecognized tax benefit. Unrecognized tax benefits are not expected to significantly change within the next 12 months. Generally, a number of years may elapse before a tax reporting year is audited and finally resolved. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to United States federal, state or local examinations by tax authorities before 2015. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of or resolution of a particular tax matter, the Company does not anticipate any adjustments resulting from United States federal, state or foreign tax audits that would result in a material change to the financial condition or results of operations. Adequate amounts are established for any adjustments that may result from examinations for tax years after 2015. However, an unfavorable settlement of a particular issue would require use of the Company's cash and cash equivalents. |

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] | |
Stockholders' Equity | STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:On August 6, 2019, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized a new share repurchase program providing for purchases up to $200.0 million of Aramark common stock through July 2022. During fiscal 2020, the Company completed a repurchase of 0.3 million shares of its common stock for $6.5 million under this program. During fiscal 2019, the Company completed a repurchase of 1.6 million shares of its common stock for $50.0 million under the fiscal 2017 share repurchase program, which expired on February 1, 2019. Beginning with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company is once again permitted to make share repurchases as the covenant compliance waiver from Amendment No. 9 of the Credit Agreement is no longer in effect (see Note 5). The following table presents the Company's cash dividend payments to its stockholders (in millions): October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 September 27, 2019 Dividend payments $ 112.0 $ 110.9 $ 108.4 On November 15, 2021, a $0.11 dividend per share of common stock was declared, payable on December 7, 2021, to shareholders of record on the close of business on November 30, 2021. The Company has 100.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized, with a par value of $0.01 per share. At October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, zero shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding. During fiscal 2020, MR BridgeStone Advisor LLC (“Mantle Ridge”), on behalf of itself and its affiliated funds (such funds, together with Mantle Ridge, collectively, the “Mantle Ridge Group”), transferred cash proceeds of $14.8 million to the Company to fulfill obligations deriving from the short-swing profit provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These obligations related to the Mantle Ridge Group's trading activity in the Company's common stock. The cash proceeds were recorded to "Capital Surplus" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 2, 2020 and are reflected in "Other financing activities" on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2020. The cash proceeds resulted in the Company recording an income tax provision of $4.1 million in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the fiscal year ended of October 2, 2020. |

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Share-Based Compensation | SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:On November 12, 2013, the Board approved, and the stockholders of Aramark adopted by written consent, the Aramark 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Old 2013 Stock Plan"), which became effective on December 1, 2013 and the amended and restated Old 2013 Stock Plan was approved by the Board on November 9, 2016 and approved by the stockholders of Aramark on February 1, 2017 (as amended, the "2013 Stock Plan"). The 2013 Stock Plan provides that the total number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2013 Stock Plan is 25.5 million. On January 29, 2020, the Company's stockholders approved the Second Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, which amended and restated the 2013 Stock Plan. The Second Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan provides for up to 7.5 million of new shares authorized for issuance to participants, in addition to the shares that remained available for issuance under the 2013 Stock Plan as of January 29, 2020 that are not subject to outstanding awards under the 2013 Stock Plan. On February 2, 2021, the Company's stockholders approved the Third Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, which amended and restated the Company's 2013 Incentive Plan last amended on January 29, 2020. The Third Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan provides for up to 3.5 million of new shares authorized for issuance to participants, in addition to the shares that remained available for issuance under the 2013 Incentive Plan as of February 2, 2021. The following table summarizes the share-based compensation expense (reversal) and related information for Time-Based Options ("TBOs"), Retention Time-Based Options ("TBO-Rs"), Performance-Based Options ("PBOs"), Time-Based Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs"), Performance Stock Units ("PSUs"), Deferred Stock Units and Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") classified as "Selling and general corporate expenses" on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income (in millions). Fiscal Year Ended October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 September 27, 2019 TBOs (1) $ 15.1 $ 10.8 $ 14.7 TBO-Rs 4.6 0.3 — RSUs (1) 46.0 35.1 28.9 PSUs (1) — (17.8) 9.9 Deferred Stock Units 1.9 1.9 1.8 ESPP 3.5 — — $ 71.1 $ 30.3 $ 55.3 Taxes related to share-based compensation $ 22.6 $ 7.2 $ 13.7 Cash Received from Option Exercises/ESPP Purchases 41.6 90.0 39.1 Tax Benefit on Share Deliveries (2) 3.8 46.2 4.8 (1) Share-based compensation expense increased during fiscal 2021 due to the shortening of the vesting period on the annual grants issued in September 2020 from four years to three years, the addition of expense related to the ESPP which began on April 1, 2021 and the accelerated timing of the issuance of the fiscal 2021 annual grant. Share-based compensation expense was reduced during fiscal 2020 based on lower than estimated target attainment on plan metrics on each of the fiscal 2018, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020 PSU grants, resulting in the reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense of $29.8 million. Share-based compensation expense was reduced during fiscal 2019 based on lower than estimated target attainment on plan metrics for the fiscal 2018 PSU grants, resulting in the reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense of $6.6 million. The Company also reversed previously recognized share-based compensation expense based on the actual target for the 2017 PSU grants achieved as of the end of fiscal 2019 of $5.2 million. (2) The tax benefit on option exercises, restricted stock unit and ESPP unit deliveries is included in "Prepayments and Other Current Assets" on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. On September 3, 2020, the Board determined a payout level for the fiscal 2018 PSU grants covering a performance period of September 30, 2017 to October 2, 2020 by adjusting the calculation of the performance to moderate the impact of COVID-19 by measuring performance for the first two and a half years of the three year performance period, removing both the results and the portion of the targets attributable to the period when the Company's business was hardest hit by COVID-19. As a result, the Company recognized $3.9 million of additional expense in fiscal 2020 associated with approximately 0.1 million shares due to this modification. No compensation expense was capitalized. Prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company applied a forfeiture assumption of approximately 6.4% per annum in the calculation of such expenses. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company increased its estimated forfeiture assumption to 9.0% per annum based on actual forfeiture activity, which remained in effect throughout fiscal 2021. The below table summarizes the unrecognized compensation expense as of October 1, 2021 related to non-vested awards and the weighted-average period they are expected to be recognized: Unrecognized Compensation Expense Weighted-Average Period TBOs $ 22.7 1.94 TBO-Rs 17.8 3.51 RSUs 71.3 1.93 Total $ 111.8 Stock Options Time-Based Options The Company's annual TBO grants for fiscal 2021 were awarded early in September 2020 and will vest solely based upon continued employment over a three year time period. Fiscal 2020 and prior TBO grants vest solely based upon continued employment over a four year time period. All TBOs remain exercisable for 10 years from the date of grant. The fair value of the TBOs granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Prior to June of fiscal 2020, the expected volatility was based on a blended average of the historic volatility of the Company's and competitors' stock over the expected term of the stock options. Beginning in June of fiscal 2020, the expected volatility is based on the historic volatility of the Company's stock over the expected term of the stock options. The expected life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and is calculated using the simplified method as permitted under Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and regulations due to the method providing a reasonable estimate in comparison to actual experience. The simplified method uses the midpoint between an option's vesting date and contractual term. The risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury security with terms equal to the expected life of the option as of the grant date. Compensation expense for TBOs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period during which employees perform related services. The table below presents the weighted average assumptions and related valuations for TBOs. Fiscal Year Ended October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 September 27, 2019 Expected volatility 40% 30% 20% Expected dividend yield 1.08% - 1.25% 1.01% - 2.09% 1.17% - 1.44% Expected life (in years) 6.08 6.22 6.25 Risk-free interest rate 0.52% - 1.15% 0.40% - 1.74% 1.62% - 3.02% Weighted-average grant-date fair value $13.08 $9.07 $8.23 A summary of TBO activity is presented below: Options Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Weighted-Average Remaining Term Outstanding at October 2, 2020 8,719 $ 32.45 Granted 162 $ 37.32 Exercised (1,092) $ 24.95 Forfeited and expired (571) $ 38.02 Outstanding at October 1, 2021 7,218 $ 33.25 $ 31,032 7.0 Exercisable at October 1, 2021 3,800 $ 32.47 $ 17,553 5.8 Expected to vest at October 1, 2021 3,102 $ 34.23 $ 11,985 8.4 Fiscal Year Ended October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 September 27, 2019 Total intrinsic value exercised (in millions) $ 14.5 $ 114.6 $ 26.8 Total fair value that vested (in millions) 16.0 9.9 16.3 Retention Time-Based Options In September 2020, the Board granted special stock option awards for fiscal 2021 to its key business leaders. The option awards have exercise prices that are in all cases materially above the trading price of the Company's common stock as of the date of grant. The options are awarded in six tranches, with exercise prices that start at $35 and increase in $10 increments to an $85 exercise price. These awards will vest ratably on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date. The fair value of the TBO-Rs granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, following the same assumptions and methodology used to value the TBOs. The table below presents the weighted average assumptions and related valuations for TBO-Rs. Fiscal Year Ended October 2, 2020 Expected volatility 38% Expected dividend yield 1.55% Expected life (in years) 7.00 Risk-free interest rate 0.50% Weighted-average grant-date fair value $3.93 A summary of TBO-R activity is presented below: Options Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Weighted-Average Remaining Term Outstanding at October 2, 2020 5,732 $ 66.15 Granted — $ — Exercised — $ — Forfeited and expired — $ — Outstanding at October 1, 2021 5,732 $ 66.15 $ 387 8.9 Expected to vest at October 1, 2021 4,697 $ 66.15 $ 318 8.9 Performance-Based Options The Company no longer grants PBOs under the 2013 Stock Plan. All PBOs remain exercisable for 10 years from the date of grant. A summary of PBO activity is presented below: Options Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Weighted-Average Remaining Term Outstanding at October 2, 2020 306 $ 11.99 Granted — $ — Exercised (264) $ 11.82 Forfeited and expired — $ — Outstanding at October 1, 2021 42 $ 13.00 $ 963 0.3 Exercisable at October 1, 2021 42 $ 13.00 $ 963 0.3 The total intrinsic value of PBOs exercised during fiscal 2021, fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 was $7.2 million, $34.9 million and $8.9 million, respectively. Time-Based Restricted Stock Units The Company's annual RSU grants for fiscal 2021 were awarded early in September 2020, 33% of which will vest and be settled in shares on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the participant's continued employment with the Company through each such anniversary. For RSU grants awarded prior to September 2020, the RSU agreement provides that 25% of each grant will vest and be settled in shares on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the participant's continued employment with the Company through each such anniversary. The grant-date fair value of RSUs is based on the fair value of the Company's common stock. Participants holding RSUs will receive the benefit of any dividends paid on shares in the form of additional RSUs. The unvested units are subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated other than due to death, disability or retirement and the units are nontransferable while subject to forfeiture. Restricted Stock Units Units Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Outstanding at October 2, 2020 4,626 $ 34.08 Granted 363 $ 37.08 Vested (1,699) $ 34.58 Forfeited (276) $ 34.49 Outstanding at October 1, 2021 3,014 $ 34.04 Performance Stock Units Under the 2013 Stock Plan, the Company is authorized to grant PSUs to its employees. A participant is eligible to become vested in a number of PSUs equal to a percentage, higher or lower, of the target number of PSUs granted based on the level of the Company's achievement of the performance condition. During fiscal 2019, the Company granted PSUs subject to the level of achievement of adjusted earnings per share and return on invested capital for the cumulative performance period of three years and the participant's continued employment with the Company. During fiscal 2020, the Company granted PSUs subject to the level of achievement of adjusted revenue growth, adjusted operating income growth, return on invested capital and a total shareholder return multiplier for the cumulative performance period of three years and the participant's continued employment with the Company. The Company is accounting for the fiscal 2020 grant as a performance-based award, with a market condition, valued utilizing the Monte Carlo Simulation pricing model, which calculates multiple potential outcomes for an award and establishes fair value based on the most likely outcome. The grant-date fair value of the PSUs is based on the fair value of the Company's common stock. No share-based compensation expense was recorded during fiscal 2021 related to PSUs awards granted during fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020 as the awards are not probable of achievement. Performance Stock Units Units Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Outstanding at October 2, 2020 1,315 $ 37.61 Granted — $ — Vested — $ — Forfeited (263) $ 36.71 Outstanding at October 1, 2021 1,052 $ 39.62 Deferred Stock Units Deferred Stock Units are issued only to non-employee members of the Board and represent the right to receive shares of the Company's common stock in the future. Each deferred stock unit will be converted to one share of the Company's common stock either on the first day of the seventh month after which such director ceases to serve as a member of the Board or at the director's election upon vesting. The grant-date fair value of deferred stock units is based on the fair value of the Company's common stock. The deferred stock units vest on the day prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders (which is generally one year after grant). The Company granted 60,646 deferred stock units during fiscal 2021 . In addition, directors may elect to defer their cash retainer into Deferred Stock Units which are fully vested upon issuance. Employee Stock Purchase Plan On February 2, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the Aramark 2021 ESPP. The ESPP allows eligible employees to contribute up to 10% of their eligible pay toward the quarterly purchase of the Company’s common stock, subject to an annual maximum dollar amount. The purchase price is 85% of the lesser of the i) fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock as determined on the purchase date or ii) fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock as determined on the first trading day of the quarterly offering period. Purchases under the ESPP are made in March, June, September, and December. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the ESPP may not exceed 12.5 million shares. The Company's first purchase window began on April 1, 2021. There were 0.5 million shares purchased under the ESPP during the fiscal year ended October 1, 2021. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share | EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE: Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of stock awards. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to the Company's stockholders (in thousands, except per share data): Fiscal Year Ended October 1, 2021 October 2, 2020 September 27, 2019 (Loss) Earnings: Net (loss) income attributable to Aramark stockholders $ (90,833) $ (461,529) $ 448,549 Shares: Basic weighted-average shares outstanding 254,748 251,828 246,854 Effect of dilutive securities (1) — — 5,156 Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding 254,748 251,828 252,010 Basic (Loss) Earnings Per Share: Net (loss) income attributable to Aramark stockholders $ (0.36) $ (1.83) $ 1.82 Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share: Net (loss) income attributable to Aramark stockholders $ (0.36) $ (1.83) $ 1.78 (1) Incremental shares of 2.0 million and 2.3 million have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the fiscal years ended October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, respectively, because the effect would have been antidilutive due to the net loss attributable to Aramark stockholders during both periods. Share-based awards to purchase 8.8 million, 7.7 million and 5.2 million shares were outstanding at October 1, 2021, October 2, 2020 and September 27, 2019, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per common share, as their effect would have been antidilutive. In addition, PSUs related to 0.6 million shares, 1.1 million shares and 1.3 million shares were outstanding at October 1, 2021 , October 2, 2020 and September 27, 2019, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per common share, as the performance targets were not yet met. PSUs related to 0.4 million shares did not vest due to performance targets that were not met. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments And Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: The Company has capital and other purchase commitments of approximately $612.3 million at October 1, 2021 , primarily in connection with commitments for capital projects to help finance improvements or renovations at the facilities in which the Company operates. At October 1, 2021 , the Company also has letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $120.5 million. 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, except for the matters disclosed below, 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. The Company is involved in a dispute with a client regarding Aramark’s provision of services pursuant to a contract. The Company continues to simultaneously litigate the matter and attempt to reach a negotiated resolution. The Company recorded a reserve for this matter as it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. As of October 1, 2021, the Company has accrued its best estimate of the probable loss associated with this contract, which is approximately $19.1 million. The Company continues to believe it is reasonably possible that this potential exposure may change in the near term based on the outcome of either the settlement negotiations or through continued litigation. During fiscal 2019, Eric J. Foss, the Company's former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stepped down and $10.4 million of cash compensation related charges were recognized related to his separation from the Company. There are no remaining obligations related to his separation from the Company. During fiscal 2019, the Company was a defendant in two class action lawsuits alleging breach of contract, promissory estoppel, unjust enrichment and various state law claims for failure to pay employee annual incentive bonuses related to the 2018 fiscal year. In November 2019, the Company settled the lawsuits with the plaintiffs for approximately $21.0 million, which includes payments to the class members, attorneys' fees and other expenses. Of the $21.0 million settlement charge, $12.0 million was expensed in "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)" and $9.0 million was expensed in "Selling and general corporate expenses" on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income during fiscal 2019. The settlement charge was paid during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and there is no remaining obligation related to this matter. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Business Segments | BUSINESS SEGMENTS: The Company reports its operating results in three reportable segments: FSS United States, FSS International and Uniform. Corporate includes general expenses not specifically allocated to an individual segment and share-based compensation expense (see Note 12). In the Company's food and support services segments, approximately 71% of the global revenue is related to food services and 29% is related to facilities services. COVID-19 had a negative impact on revenue, operating income (loss), capital expenditures and other identifiable assets for all segments in fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020. The Company's financial results began to improve during the second half of fiscal 2021 as lockdowns were lifted and operations began to re-open as well as from actions to reduce variable and fixed costs, including headcount reductions primarily taken during the second half of fiscal 2020. During fiscal 2021, the Company identified an observable price change related to an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value and recognized a $137.9 million non-cash gain on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. The Company terminated certain Canadian defined benefit pension plans and recognized a $60.9 million non-cash loss on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income during fiscal 2021. During fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, the Company received proceeds of approximately $10.0 million and $15.3 million, respectively, relating to the recovery of the Company’s investment (possessory interest) at one of the National Park Service sites within the FSS United States segment. The Company recorded a gain related to the recovery of its investment, which is included in “Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)” on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. During fiscal 2020, the Company recognized a $198.6 million impairment charge related to one reporting unit in its FSS International segment (see Note 4). During fiscal 2020, each reportable segment recorded severance charges related to COVID-19 adding up to approximately $145.8 million (see Note 3). During fiscal 2020, the Company reversed $29.8 million of previously recognized share-based compensation expense based on lower than estimated target attainment on plan metrics on each of the fiscal 2018, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020 PSU grants (see Note 12).

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 gross values would not be materially different. The fair value of the Company's debt at October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020 was $7,580.7 million and $9,260.0 million, respectively. The carrying value of the Company's debt at October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020 was $7,452.3 million and $9,278.4 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. As part of the Next Level acquisition (see Note 2), the Company used a Monte Carlo simulation in an option pricing framework (an income approach) to value the contingent consideration liability. The inputs utilized in estimating the fair value of the contingent consideration have been classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy levels and are subject to risk and uncertainty. The Monte Carlo simulation calculation is dependent on several subjective factors including future earnings, volatility, and the discount rate. If assumptions or estimates vary from what was expected, the fair value of the contingent consideration liability may materially change. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability at October 1, 2021 was $78.4 million. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | 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 the United States, which is supplemented by an additional 18-country footprint. The Company operates its business in three reportable segments that share many of the same operating characteristics: • Food and Support Services United States ("FSS United States") - Food, refreshment, specialized dietary and support services, including facility maintenance and housekeeping, provided to business, educational and healthcare institutions and in sports, leisure and other facilities. • Food and Support Services International ("FSS International") - Food, refreshment, specialized dietary and support services, including facility maintenance and housekeeping, provided to business, educational and healthcare institutions and in sports, leisure and other facilities. • Uniform and Career Apparel ("Uniform") - Provides a full service employee uniform solution, including design, sourcing and manufacturing, delivery, cleaning and maintenance on a contract basis. Directly markets personalized uniforms and accessories, provides managed restroom services and rents uniforms, work clothing, outerwear, particulate-free garments and non-garment items and related services, including mats, shop towels and first aid supplies, to clients in a wide range of industries in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and through a joint venture in Japan, including the manufacturing, transportation, construction, restaurant and hotel, healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling financial interest is maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. |
Fiscal Year | Fiscal Year The Company's fiscal year is the fifty-two or fifty-three week period which ends on the Friday nearest September 30th. The fiscal years ended October 1, 2021 and September 27, 2019 were each fifty-two week periods and the fiscal year ended October 2, 2020 was a fifty-three week period. |
New Accounting Standard Updates | New Accounting Standards Updates Adopted Standards In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update ("ASU") which simplifies the accounting for income taxes and clarifies and amends existing income tax guidance. Impacted areas include intraperiod tax allocations, interim period taxes, deferred tax liabilities with outside basis differences, franchise taxes and transactions which result in the "step-up" of goodwill. The Company early adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In November 2019, the FASB issued an ASU which provides clarification and improvements to existing guidance related to the credit losses on financial instruments standard. The guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In May 2019, the FASB issued an ASU which provides the option to irrevocably elect to apply the fair value measurement option on an instrument-by-instrument basis for certain financial instruments within the scope of the credit losses on financial instruments standard. The guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In April 2019, the FASB issued an ASU which provides clarification, error corrections and improvements to existing guidance related to the credit losses on financial instruments ASU issued in June 2016, the derivatives and hedging ASU issued in August 2017 and the financial instruments ASU issued in January 2016. The Company adopted the guidance related to the financial instruments ASU and the derivatives and hedging ASU in prior fiscal years, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The guidance related to the credit losses on financial instruments ASU was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU which adds, modifies and removes several disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension plans. The Company early adopted the guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU which adds, modifies and removes several disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to require entities to account for expected credit losses on financial instruments including trade receivables. The expected credit loss model replaced the incurred credit loss model, that generally required a loss to be incurred before it was recognized. The forward-looking credit loss model required the Company to consider historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount in estimating credit losses. The amended guidance required financial assets that are measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets. The Company adopted this guidance on October 3, 2020 (the first date of fiscal 2021) using a modified retrospective approach. This approach allows the new standard to be applied retrospectively through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings recognized upon adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Standards Not Yet Adopted (from most to least recent date of issuance) In October 2021, the FASB issued an ASU which requires that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606") as if it had originated the contracts. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. In January 2021, the FASB issued an ASU which clarifies certain optional expedients and exceptions for contract modifications and hedge accounting that may apply to derivatives that are affected by the discontinuance of LIBOR and the reference rate reform standard. The Company may adopt this guidance through December 2022 if the remaining amendment to the reference rate reform standard is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. In March 2020, the FASB issued an ASU which provides optional expedients that may be adopted and applied through December 2022 to assist with the discontinuance of LIBOR. The expedients allow companies to ease the potential accounting burden when modifying contracts and hedging relationships that use LIBOR as a reference rate, if certain criteria are met. During fiscal 2020, the Company adopted the optional expedient to assert probability of forecasted hedged transactions occurring on its interest rate swap derivative contracts regardless of any expected contract modifications related to reference rate reform. Other optional expedients related to hedging relationships may be contemplated in the future resulting from reference rate reform. The Company reviewed its portfolio of debt agreements, lease agreements and other contracts and determined that only its debt agreements will be impacted by this standard, as the lease agreements and other contracts do not use LIBOR as a reference rate. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the remaining amendment of this standard. In January 2020, the FASB issued an ASU which provides clarification and improvements to existing guidance related to accounting for certain equity securities upon the application or discontinuation of equity method accounting and the measurement of forward contracts and purchased options on certain securities. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligation is satisfied upon the transfer of control of the promised product or service to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services. In each of the Company's operating segments, revenue is recognized over time in the period in which services are provided pursuant to the terms of the Company's contractual relationships with its clients. The Company generally records revenue on food and support services contracts (both profit and loss contracts and client interest contracts) on a gross basis as the Company is the primary obligor and service provider. See Note 7 for additional information on revenue recognition. Certain profit and loss contracts include payments to the client, typically calculated as a fixed or variable percentage of various categories of revenue and income. In some cases these contracts require minimum guaranteed payments that are contingent on certain future events. These expenses are currently recorded in "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)." Revenue from client interest contracts is generally comprised of amounts billed to clients for food, labor and other costs that the Company incurs, controls and pays for. Revenue from these contracts also includes any associated management fees, client subsidies or incentive fees based upon the Company's performance under the contract. Revenue from direct marketing activities is recognized at a point in time upon shipment. All revenue related taxes are presented on a net basis. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records an accounts receivable balance when revenue is recognized prior to or at the time of invoicing the customer. A majority of the Company’s receivables balances are based on contracts with customers. The Company estimates and reserves for its credit loss exposure based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount in estimating credit losses. Credit loss expense is classified within "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)." Vendor Consideration |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. |
Comprehensive Income | Comprehensive Income (Loss)Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes to stockholders' equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by and distributions to stockholders. Components of comprehensive income (loss) 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 (loss) (net of tax). |
Currency Translation | Currency TranslationGains and losses resulting from the translation of financial statements of non-United States subsidiaries are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity. Beginning in fiscal 2018, Argentina was determined to have a highly inflationary economy. As a result, the Company remeasures the financial statements of Argentina's operations in accordance with the accounting guidance for highly inflationary economies. |
Current Assets | Current Assets The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company insures portions of its general liability, automobile liability and workers’ compensation risks through a wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary (the "Captive"), to enhance its risk financing strategies. The Captive is subject to regulations within its domicile of Bermuda, including regulations established by the Bermuda Monetary Authority (the "BMA") relating to levels of liquidity and solvency as such concepts are defined by the BMA. The Captive was in compliance with these regulations as of October 1, 2021. These regulations may have the effect of limiting the Company's ability to access certain cash and cash equivalents held by the Captive for uses other than for the payment of its general liability, automobile liability and workers’ compensation claims and related Captive costs. As of October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, cash and cash equivalents at the Captive were $194.3 million and $92.1 million, respectively. |
Property and Equipment | Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Gains and losses on dispositions are included in operating results. Maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations and replacements and significant improvements that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. The estimated useful lives for the major categories of property and equipment are 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and three |
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 |

Share-based compensation expense was reduced during fiscal 2020 based on lower than estimated target attainment on plan metrics on each of the fiscal 2018, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020 PSU grants, resulting in the reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense of $29.8 million. Share-based compensation expense was reduced during fiscal 2019 based on lower than estimated target attainment on plan metrics for the fiscal 2018 PSU grants, resulting in the reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense of $6.6 million. The Company also reversed previously recognized share-based compensation expense based on the actual target for the 2017 PSU grants achieved as of the end of fiscal 2019 of $5.2 million.
