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 22, 2022. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2022 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 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. Aramark's Intention to Spin-off Uniform Segment On May 10, 2022, the Company announced its intention to spin-off its Uniform segment into an independent publicly traded company to Aramark’s stockholders. The proposed spin-off is intended to be a tax-free transaction to Aramark and its stockholders for United States federal income tax purposes. The proposed spin-off is expected to be completed in the second half of fiscal 2023, subject to certain customary conditions, including final approval of the Aramark Board of Directors, receipt of a favorable opinion and Internal Revenue Service ruling with respect to the tax-free nature of the transaction, the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10 to be filed with the SEC and the receipt of other regulatory approvals. New Accounting Standards Updates Adopted Standards (from most to least recent date of issuance) In December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update ("ASU") which defers the sunset date of Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform , to December 31, 2024 from December 31, 2022 and is effective for the Company upon issuance of the ASU. In January 2021, the FASB issued an ASU, which clarified 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. In March 2020, the FASB issued an ASU which provided optional expedients that may be applied 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 applied 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 apply the optional expedients of this standard through December 31, 2024. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2021, the FASB issued an ASU which requires an entity to provide certain annual disclosures when they have received government assistance. The guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. 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 September 2022, the FASB issued an ASU to enhance the transparency of supplier finance programs, which may be referred to as reverse factoring, payables finance or structured payables arrangements. The guidance will require that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose the program's nature, activity and potential magnitude. 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 October 2021, the FASB issued an ASU which required 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. Other new accounting pronouncements recently issued or newly effective were not applicable to the Company, did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements or are not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes all changes to stockholders' equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by and distributions to stockholders. Components of comprehensive income include net income, pension plan adjustments (net of tax), changes in foreign currency translation 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 (loss) income (net of tax). The summary of the components of comprehensive income is as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended December 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Pre-Tax Amount Tax Effect After-Tax Amount Pre-Tax Amount Tax Effect After-Tax Amount Net income $ 73,651 $ 42,707 Pension plan adjustments — — — 2,480 (701) 1,779 Foreign currency translation adjustments 37,069 (2,232) 34,837 (8,110) 1,040 (7,070) Fair value of cash flow hedges (8,331) 2,166 (6,165) 30,780 (8,003) 22,777 Share of equity investee's comprehensive (loss) income (592) — (592) 260 — 260 Other comprehensive income 28,146 (66) 28,080 25,410 (7,664) 17,746 Comprehensive income 101,731 60,453 Less: Net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interests (500) 96 Comprehensive income attributable to Aramark stockholders $ 102,231 $ 60,357 Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of the following (in thousands): December 30, 2022 September 30, 2022 Pension plan adjustments $ (7,210) $ (7,210) Foreign currency translation adjustments (178,551) (213,388) Cash flow hedges 108,560 114,725 Share of equity investee's accumulated other comprehensive loss (6,290) (5,698) $ (83,491) $ (111,571) 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 month periods of both fiscal 2023 and 2022 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 December 30, 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 December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents at the Captive were $34.8 million and $23.1 million, respectively. During fiscal 2022, the Captive began investing a portion of its cash and cash equivalents in United States Treasury securities to improve returns on the Captive's assets. The amount of this investment as of December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 was $79.1 million and $78.2 million, respectively, and recorded in "Prepayments and other current assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Property and Equipment and Operating Lease Right-of-use Assets During December 2022, the Company completed a strategic review of certain administrative locations, taking into account facility capacity and current utilization, among other factors. Based on this review, the Company vacated or otherwise reduced its usage of certain of these locations, resulting in an analysis of the recoverability of the assets associated with the locations. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $23.4 million within its FSS United States and Uniform segments, which is included in "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended December 30, 2022. Within the FSS United States segment, the non-cash impairment charge consisted of operating lease right-of-use assets ($7.9 million) and property and equipment ($10.4 million). Within the Uniform segment, the non-cash impairment charge consisted of operating lease right-of-use assets ($4.8 million) and other costs ($0.3 million). Other Assets Other assets consist primarily of costs to obtain or fulfill contracts, including employee sales commissions and rental merchandise in-service, long-term receivables, investments in 50% or less owned entities and computer software costs. For investments in 50% or less owned entities accounted for under the equity method of accounting, the carrying amount as of December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 was $240.3 million and $224.5 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 December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 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, as well as for property liability and 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 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 both the three months ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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 $2.0 billion notional amount of outstanding interest rate swap agreements as of December 30, 2022, which fix the rate on a like amount of variable rate borrowings through December of fiscal 2028. During the three months ended December 30, 2022, $1.2 billion notional amount of previously forward starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge the cash flow risk of variability in interest payments on variable rate borrowings became effective. In addition, interest rate swaps with notional amounts of approximately $1.6 billion matured during the three months ended December 30, 2022. 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 loss and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. As of December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, approximately $108.6 million and $114.7 million, respectively, of unrealized net of tax gains related to the interest rate swaps were included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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 December 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Interest rate swap agreements $ 1,984 $ 18,326 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 December 30, 2022, the Company has contracts for approximately 5.5 million gallons outstanding through September 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 $2.0 million for the three months ended December 30, 2022. The impact on earnings related to the change in fair value of these unsettled contracts was a loss of approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The change in fair value for unsettled contracts is included in "Selling and general corporate expenses" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. 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. The following table summarizes the location and fair value, using Level 2 inputs (see Note 12 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 December 30, 2022 September 30, 2022 ASSETS Designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate swap agreements Prepayments and other current assets $ — $ 5,278 Interest rate swap agreements Other Assets 146,703 149,755 $ 146,703 $ 155,033 LIABILITIES Not designated as hedging instruments: Gasoline and diesel fuel agreements Accounts payable 659 2,631 $ 659 $ 2,631 The following table summarizes the location of the (gain) loss reclassified from "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" into earnings for derivatives designated as hedging instruments and the location of the (gain) loss for the Company's derivatives not designated as hedging instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (in thousands): Three Months Ended Income Statement Location December 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate swap agreements Interest and Other Financing Costs, net $ (10,315) $ 12,454 Not designated as hedging instruments: Gasoline and diesel fuel agreements Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) / Selling and general corporate expenses (2,008) 35 $ (12,323) $ 12,489 The Company has an outstanding Japanese yen denominated term loan in the amount of ¥8,510.6 million. The term loan was designated as a hedge of the Company's net Japanese currency exposure represented by the equity investment in the Company's Japanese affiliate, AIM Services Co., Ltd. Additionally, the Company has a Euro denominated term loan in the amount of €98.4 million. The term loan was designated as a hedge of the Company's net Euro currency exposure represented by certain holdings in the Company's European affiliates. At December 30, 2022, the net of tax gain expected to be reclassified from "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" into earnings over the next twelve months based on current market rates is approximately $45.3 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, 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 December 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 FSS United States: Business & Industry $ 331.5 $ 230.7 Education 1,003.6 910.0 Healthcare 324.6 296.4 Sports, Leisure & Corrections 784.6 548.1 Facilities & Other 476.7 440.2 Total FSS United States 2,921.0 2,425.4 FSS International: Europe 504.2 430.7 Rest of World 488.5 442.5 Total FSS International 992.7 873.2 Uniform 687.3 649.7 Total Revenue $ 4,601.0 $ 3,948.3 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. If the Company cannot render its performance obligation according to contract terms after receiving the consideration in advance, amounts may be contractually required to be refunded to the customer. During the three months ended December 30, 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 or return of funds related to non-performance. For the three months ended December 30, 2022, the Company recognized $186.4 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): December 30, 2022 September 30, 2022 Deferred income $ 180.3 $ 324.5

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 December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 was $8,054.2 million and $7,153.4 million, respectively. The carrying value of the Company's debt at December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 was $8,159.0 million and $7,410.9 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 Union Supply acquisition completed in fiscal 2022, the Company recorded a contingent consideration obligation based on the fair value of the expected payments. The Company performed a fair value assessment of the contingent consideration obligation based on the terms and conditions of the Union Supply purchase 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 uncertainty. The calculation of fair value is dependent on several subjective factors including future earnings and profitability. 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, which was recorded as part of the acquisition, at both December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 was $40.2 million, respectively. As part of the Next Level acquisition completed in fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a contingent consideration obligation based on the fair value of the expected payments. The Company performed a fair value assessment of the contingent consideration obligation based on the terms and conditions of the Next Level purchase agreement, as amended, 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 uncertainty. The calculation of fair value is dependent on several subjective factors including future earnings and profitability. 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 December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 was $18.4 million and $48.4 million, respectively. During the three months ended December 30, 2022, due to lower performance than expected from inflationary cost pressures and the reduced probability of a prospective business opportunity being awarded during the performance period, the Company adjusted the contingent consideration liability to the fair value of the future expected payment, resulting in income of $29.9 million, which is included in "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

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 22, 2022. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2022 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 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 (from most to least recent date of issuance) In December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update ("ASU") which defers the sunset date of Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform , to December 31, 2024 from December 31, 2022 and is effective for the Company upon issuance of the ASU. In January 2021, the FASB issued an ASU, which clarified 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. In March 2020, the FASB issued an ASU which provided optional expedients that may be applied 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 applied 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 apply the optional expedients of this standard through December 31, 2024. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2021, the FASB issued an ASU which requires an entity to provide certain annual disclosures when they have received government assistance. The guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. 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 September 2022, the FASB issued an ASU to enhance the transparency of supplier finance programs, which may be referred to as reverse factoring, payables finance or structured payables arrangements. The guidance will require that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose the program's nature, activity and potential magnitude. 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 October 2021, the FASB issued an ASU which required 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.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Comprehensive IncomeComprehensive income includes all changes to stockholders' equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by and distributions to stockholders. Components of comprehensive income include net income, pension plan adjustments (net of tax), changes in foreign currency translation 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 (loss) income (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 month periods of both fiscal 2023 and 2022 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 December 30, 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.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment and Operating Lease Right-of-use Assets During December 2022, the Company completed a strategic review of certain administrative locations, taking into account facility capacity and current utilization, among other factors. Based on this review, the Company vacated or otherwise reduced its usage of certain of these locations, resulting in an analysis of the recoverability of the assets associated with the locations. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $23.4 million within its FSS United States and Uniform segments, which is included in "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended December 30, 2022. Within the FSS United States segment, the non-cash impairment charge consisted of operating lease right-of-use assets ($7.9 million) and property and equipment ($10.4 million). Within the Uniform segment, the non-cash impairment charge consisted of operating lease right-of-use assets ($4.8 million) and other costs ($0.3 million).
Other Assets	Other Assets Other assets consist primarily of costs to obtain or fulfill contracts, including employee sales commissions and rental merchandise in-service, long-term receivables, investments in 50% or less owned entities and computer software costs. For investments in 50% or less owned entities accounted for under the equity method of accounting, the carrying amount as of December 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 was $240.3 million and $224.5 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, as well as for property liability and 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
