Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Aramark (the "Company") is a leading global provider of food, facilities and uniform services to education, healthcare, business & industry and sports, leisure & corrections clients. The Company's core market is 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 and Support Services International ("FSS International") and Uniform and Career Apparel ("Uniform"). The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes to those statements, included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 23, 2021. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 1, 2021 was derived from audited financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of the Company, the statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal, recurring nature, required for a fair presentation for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year, due to the seasonality of some of the Company's business activities, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic ("COVID-19") and the possibility of changes in general economic conditions. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling financial interest is maintained. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. New Accounting Standards Updates Adopted Standards In January 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update ("ASU") which provided 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 was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Standards Not Yet Adopted (from most to least recent date of issuance) In March 2022, the FASB issued an ASU which eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructuring for creditors in Accounting Standards Codification 310-40, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors , while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the ASU requires an entity to disclose current-period gross write offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. 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 March 2022, the FASB issued an ASU which expands the scope of existing guidance to allow entities to apply the portfolio layer method to portfolios of all financial assets, including both prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets. 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 November 2021, the FASB issued an ASU which requires that an entity provide certain annual disclosures when they have received government assistance. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. 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 31, 2022, which generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. 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 31, 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. The Company may adopt the remaining amendments of this standard through December 31, 2022, which generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. 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): Three Months Ended April 1, 2022 April 2, 2021 Pre-Tax Amount Tax Effect After-Tax Amount Pre-Tax Amount Tax Effect After-Tax Amount Net income (loss) $ 35,545 $ (77,663) Foreign currency translation adjustments 4,179 2,193 6,372 (3,486) 2,751 (735) Fair value of cash flow hedges 95,551 (24,843) 70,708 24,403 (6,345) 18,058 Share of equity investee's comprehensive income 435 — 435 748 — 748 Other comprehensive income 100,165 (22,650) 77,515 21,665 (3,594) 18,071 Comprehensive income (loss) 113,060 (59,592) Less: Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest (203) (87) Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Aramark stockholders $ 113,263 $ (59,505) Six Months Ended April 1, 2022 April 2, 2021 Pre-Tax Amount Tax Effect After-Tax Amount Pre-Tax Amount Tax Effect After-Tax Amount Net income (loss) $ 78,252 $ (159,043) Pension plan adjustments 2,480 (701) 1,779 (975) — (975) Foreign currency translation adjustments (3,931) 3,233 (698) 24,198 1,249 25,447 Fair value of cash flow hedges 126,331 (32,846) 93,485 36,726 (9,549) 27,177 Share of equity investee's comprehensive income 695 — 695 528 — 528 Other comprehensive income 125,575 (30,314) 95,261 60,477 (8,300) 52,177 Comprehensive income (loss) 173,513 (106,866) Less: Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest (107) (224) Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Aramark stockholders $ 173,620 $ (106,642) Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of the following (in thousands): April 1, 2022 October 1, 2021 Pension plan adjustments $ (22,544) $ (24,323) Foreign currency translation adjustments (127,710) (127,012) Cash flow hedges 44,236 (49,249) Share of equity investee's accumulated other comprehensive loss (6,732) (7,427) $ (112,750) $ (208,011) Currency Translation 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 foreign currency transaction gains and losses during the three and six month periods of both fiscal 2022 and 2021 were immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Current Assets The Company insures portions of its risk in general liability, automobile liability, workers’ compensation liability and property liability 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 April 1, 2022. 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, workers' compensation liability, property liability and related Captive costs. As of April 1, 2022 and October 1, 2021, cash and cash equivalents at the Captive were $137.8 million and $194.3 million, respectively. Other Assets Other assets consist primarily of costs to obtain or fulfill contracts, including rental merchandise in-service, long-term receivables, investments in 50% or less owned entities, computer software costs and employee sales commissions. For investments in 50% or less owned entities accounted for under the equity method of accounting, the carrying amount as of April 1, 2022 and October 1, 2021 was $273.3 million and $224.6 million, respectively. 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. The carrying amount of equity investments without readily determinable fair values as of both April 1, 2022 and October 1, 2021 was $180.5 million. Other Current and Noncurrent Liabilities The Company is self-insured for obligations related to certain risks that are retained under the Company's casualty program, which includes general liability, automobile liability and workers' compensation liability, property liability as well as for employee healthcare benefit programs. Reserves for retained costs associated with the casualty program are estimated through actuarial methods, with the assistance of third-party actuaries, using loss development assumptions based on the Company's claims history. Impact of COVID-19 COVID-19 has adversely affected global economies, disrupted global supply chains and labor force participation and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. The impact from COVID-19 has caused a deterioration in the Company's revenue, operating income (loss) and net income (loss) and could continue to materially affect the Company's operating results, cash flows and/or financial condition for an extended period of time. COVID-19 related disruptions negatively impacted the Company's financial and operating results beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 through the first half of fiscal 2021. The Company's financial results started to improve during the second half of fiscal 2021 and continued to improve during the first half of fiscal 2022 as COVID-19 restrictions were lifted and operations continued to re-open. The ongoing impact of COVID-19 on the Company's longer-term operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, which continue to be highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") 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% of the amount due December 31, 2022. Approximately $64.2 million of the deferred social security taxes were paid during the six months ended April 1, 2022. Approximately $64.2 million of social security taxes remain deferred, which are recorded as liabilities within "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 1, 2022. Within the FSS International and Uniform segments, many foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates provided companies various forms of relief from COVID-19, including labor related tax credits. These labor related tax credits generally allowed companies to receive credits if they retained employees on their payroll, rather than furloughing or terminating employees as a result of the business disruption caused by COVID-19. The Company qualified for these tax credits. The Company recorded approximately $21.0 million and $33.2 million of labor related tax credits in the FSS International segment within "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) during the three and six months ended April 1, 2022, respectively. The Company recorded approximately $39.5 million and $74.0 million of labor related tax credits within "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) during the three and six months ended April 2, 2021, of which approximately $4.5 million and $9.2 million were recorded in the Uniform segment and the remainder was recorded in the FSS International segment. The Company does not expect to receive significant additional tax credits during the remainder of fiscal 2022. The Company accounted for these labor related tax credits as a reduction to the expense that they were intended to compensate in the period in which the corresponding expense was incurred and there was reasonable assurance the Company would both receive the tax credits and comply with all conditions attached to the tax credits.

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 $3.6 billion notional amount of outstanding interest rate swap agreements as of April 1, 2022, which fix the rate on a like amount of variable rate borrowings through December of fiscal 2028. During the six months ended April 1, 2022, the Company entered into $700.0 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. During the six months ended April 1, 2022, interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $250.0 million matured. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as and meets all the required criteria for a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. 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 April 1, 2022 and October 1, 2021, approximately $44.2 million and ($49.2) million, respectively, of unrealized net of tax gains (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 (in thousands): Three Months Ended April 1, 2022 April 2, 2021 Interest rate swap agreements $ 85,001 $ 12,169 Six Months Ended April 1, 2022 April 2, 2021 Interest rate swap agreements $ 103,327 $ 10,927 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 April 1, 2022, the Company has contracts for approximately 8.8 million gallons outstanding through March of fiscal 2023. 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 $1.1 million and a loss of approximately $0.4 million for the three and six months ended April 1, 2022, respectively. The impact on earnings related to the change in fair value of these unsettled contracts were gains of approximately $2.2 million and $5.8 million for the three and six months ended April 2, 2021, respectively. The change in fair value for unsettled contracts is included in "Selling and general corporate expenses" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). When the contracts settle, the gain or loss is recorded to "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). As of April 1, 2022, 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 short-term intercompany loans. The following table summarizes the location and fair value, using Level 2 inputs (see Note 13 for a description of the fair value levels), of the Company's derivatives designated and not designated as hedging instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands): Balance Sheet Location April 1, 2022 October 1, 2021 ASSETS Designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate swap agreements (1) Other Assets $ 66,055 $ — Not designated as hedging instruments: Gasoline and diesel fuel agreements Prepayments and other current assets 2,108 2,551 $ 68,163 $ 2,551 LIABILITIES Designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate swap agreements Accounts payable $ 6,277 $ 1,541 Interest rate swap agreements (1) Other Noncurrent Liabilities — 65,011 $ 6,277 $ 66,552 Not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign currency forward exchange contracts Accounts payable $ 122 $ 27 $ 6,399 $ 66,579 (1) Interest rate swap position moved from a liability position as of October 1, 2021 to an asset position as of April 1, 2022 due to changes in forward interest rates.

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, and 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 receive 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): Three Months Ended (1) Six Months Ended (1) April 1, 2022 April 2, 2021 April 1, 2022 April 2, 2021 FSS United States: Business & Industry $ 243.8 $ 157.8 $ 474.5 $ 312.2 Education 895.4 583.4 1,805.4 1,096.6 Healthcare 301.0 197.0 597.4 383.8 Sports, Leisure & Corrections 450.6 224.2 998.7 450.7 Facilities & Other 447.5 388.6 887.7 753.5 Total FSS United States 2,338.3 1,551.0 4,763.7 2,996.8 FSS International: Europe 426.8 307.2 857.5 636.4 Rest of World 444.1 370.5 886.6 735.8 Total FSS International 870.9 677.7 1,744.1 1,372.2 Uniform 651.3 591.0 1,301.0 1,194.5 Total Revenue $ 3,860.5 $ 2,819.7 $ 7,808.8 $ 5,563.5 (1) Revenue was favorable during the three and six months ended April 1, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended April 2, 2021 as COVID-19 restrictions were lifted and operations continued to re-open. Contract Balances Deferred income is recognized in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" on the Condensed 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. During the six months ended April 1, 2022, deferred income increased related to customer prepayments and decreased related to income recognized during the period as a result of satisfying the performance obligation. For the six months ended April 1, 2022, the Company recognized $218.7 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): April 1, 2022 October 1, 2021 Deferred income $ 263.3 $ 319.3

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES: As of each reporting date, the Company considers existing evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact the need for valuation allowances against deferred tax assets ("DTAs"). During the six months ended April 1, 2022, the Company recorded a benefit to the "Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes" within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) of approximately $8.5 million for the reversal of a valuation allowance at a foreign subsidiary driven by the Company's ability to utilize the DTAs based on future taxable income expected due to the acquisition of a business. During the three and six months ended April 2, 2021, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against DTAs based on cumulative losses in certain subsidiaries in the FSS International segment of approximately $14.4 million to the "Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes" within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted in response to COVID-19. The CARES Act, among other things, permitted net operating losses ("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. As a result of the CARES Act, the Company recorded a net benefit to the "Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes" of approximately $12.1 million and $34.3 million during the three and six months ended April 2, 2021, respectively, which reflect the NOLs carried back or expected to be carried back to Pre-Tax Cuts and Jobs Act tax years at 35.0%. In addition, the Company recorded a valuation allowance to the "Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes" of $10.1 million and $26.2 million during the three and six months ended April 2, 2021, respectively, against certain foreign tax credits that were re-established by the NOL carryback, as it is more likely than not a tax benefit will not be realized. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company received approximately $93.6 million of proceeds related to the fiscal 2020 income tax return from the NOLs generated in fiscal 2020 as a result of the CARES Act.

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): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended April 1, 2022 April 2, 2021 April 1, 2022 April 2, 2021 Earnings (Loss): Net income (loss) attributable to Aramark stockholders $ 35,748 $ (77,576) $ 78,359 $ (158,819) Shares: Basic weighted-average shares outstanding 257,100 254,508 256,785 254,088 Effect of dilutive securities (1) 1,647 — 1,614 — Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding 258,747 254,508 258,399 254,088 Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share: Net income (loss) attributable to Aramark stockholders $ 0.14 $ (0.30) $ 0.31 $ (0.63) Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share: Net income (loss) attributable to Aramark stockholders $ 0.14 $ (0.30) $ 0.30 $ (0.63) (1) Incremental shares of 2.2 million and 2.0 million have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended April 2, 2021, 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 9.7 million and 9.2 million shares were outstanding for the three months ended April 1, 2022 and April 2, 2021, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share, as their effect would have been antidilutive. In addition, PSUs related to 1.0 million and 1.1 million shares were outstanding for the three months ended April 1, 2022 and April 2, 2021, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share, as the performance targets were not yet met. Share-based awards to purchase 9.6 million and 11.6 million shares were outstanding for the six months ended April 1, 2022 and April 2, 2021, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share, as their effect would have been antidilutive.

Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:Certain of the Company's lease arrangements, primarily vehicle leases, with terms of one From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are a party to various legal actions, proceedings and investigations involving claims incidental to the conduct of their business, including actions by clients, consumers, employees, government entities and third parties, including under federal, state, international, national, provincial and local employment laws, wage and hour laws, discrimination laws, immigration laws, human health and safety laws, import and export controls and customs laws, environmental laws, false claims or whistleblower statutes, minority, women and disadvantaged business enterprise statutes, tax codes, antitrust and competition laws, consumer protection statutes, procurement regulations, intellectual property laws, food safety and sanitation laws, cost and accounting principles, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, other anti-corruption laws, lobbying laws, motor carrier safety laws, data privacy and security laws and alcohol licensing and service laws, or alleging negligence and/or breaches of contractual and other obligations. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, available insurance coverage, established reserves and other resources, the Company does not believe that any such actions are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES: Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are classified based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The hierarchical levels related to the subjectivity of the valuation inputs are defined as follows: • Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets • Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument • Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement Recurring Fair Value Measurements The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings and derivatives. Management believes that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values. In conjunction with the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio, as the gross values would not be materially different. The fair value of the Company's debt at April 1, 2022 and October 1, 2021 was $7,806.0 million and $7,580.7 million, respectively. The carrying value of the Company's debt at April 1, 2022 and October 1, 2021 was $7,793.7 million and $7,452.3 million, respectively. The fair values were computed using market quotes, if available, or based on discounted cash flows using market interest rates as of the end of the respective periods. The inputs utilized in estimating the fair value of the Company's debt have been classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy levels. As part of the Next Level Hospitality acquisition completed in fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a contingent consideration obligation based on the fair value of the expected payments. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the unit purchase agreement with the former owners of Next Level was amended to modify the terms and conditions associated with the contingent consideration. The amended agreement includes calendar year 2023, in addition to calendar year 2022 and 2021, as a performance period to earn consideration should Next Level achieve certain adjusted EBITDA levels. The Company accounted for the agreement prospectively and did not modify its allocation of the purchase price for the transaction, which was finalized in fiscal 2021. The Company performed a fair value assessment of the contingent consideration obligation based on the terms and conditions of the amended agreement, using internal models. 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

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes to those statements, included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 23, 2021. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 1, 2021 was derived from audited financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of the Company, the statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal, recurring nature, required for a fair presentation for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year, due to the seasonality of some of the Company's business activities, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic ("COVID-19") and the possibility of changes in general economic conditions.The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling financial interest is maintained. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
New Accounting Standard Updates	New Accounting Standards Updates Adopted Standards In January 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update ("ASU") which provided 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 was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Standards Not Yet Adopted (from most to least recent date of issuance) In March 2022, the FASB issued an ASU which eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructuring for creditors in Accounting Standards Codification 310-40, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors , while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the ASU requires an entity to disclose current-period gross write offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. 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 March 2022, the FASB issued an ASU which expands the scope of existing guidance to allow entities to apply the portfolio layer method to portfolios of all financial assets, including both prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets. 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 November 2021, the FASB issued an ASU which requires that an entity provide certain annual disclosures when they have received government assistance. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. 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 31, 2022, which generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	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 TranslationBeginning 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 foreign currency transaction gains and losses during the three and six month periods of both fiscal 2022 and 2021 were immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Current Assets	Current AssetsThe Company insures portions of its risk in general liability, automobile liability, workers’ compensation liability and property liability 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 April 1, 2022. 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, workers' compensation liability, property liability and related Captive costs.
Other Assets	Other Assets Other assets consist primarily of costs to obtain or fulfill contracts, including rental merchandise in-service, long-term receivables, investments in 50% or less owned entities, computer software costs and employee sales commissions. For investments in 50% or less owned entities accounted for under the equity method of accounting, the carrying amount as of April 1, 2022 and October 1, 2021 was $273.3 million and $224.6 million, respectively.
Other Current and Noncurrent Liabilities	Other Current and Noncurrent Liabilities The Company is self-insured for obligations related to certain risks that are retained under the Company's casualty program, which includes general liability, automobile liability and workers' compensation liability, property liability as well as for employee healthcare benefit programs. Reserves for retained costs associated with the casualty program are estimated through actuarial methods, with the assistance of third-party actuaries, using loss development assumptions based on the Company's claims history.
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
