Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). For additional information, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2019 ("2018 Form 10-K"). The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Tuesday closest to December 31. Fiscal year 2019 is a fifty-two week period ending December 31, 2019 . Fiscal year 2018 is the fifty-two week period ended January 1, 2019 . In a fifty-two week fiscal year, the first, second and third quarters each include twelve weeks of operations and the fourth quarter includes sixteen weeks of operations. For fiscal year 2019 , the Company’s accompanying financial statements reflect the twelve weeks ended March 26, 2019 . For fiscal year 2018 , the Company’s accompanying financial statements reflect the twelve weeks ended March 27, 2018 . Effective January 2, 2019 (the first day of fiscal year 2019), the Company adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases ( Topic 842 ), as discussed below in Note 2, using the modified retrospective method of transition. Current year results have been prepared in accordance with the new standard. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that such estimates have been based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and the resulting estimates are reasonable for use in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include estimates for impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, valuations provided in business combinations, insurance reserves, restaurant closure reserves, stock-based compensation, contingent liabilities, certain leasing activities and income tax valuation allowances. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract, which clarifies the accounting implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging ( Topic 815 ): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities , and issued additional clarifications and improvements during 2018. This guidance amends and simplifies existing guidance in order to allow companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. There was no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as a result of adopting this standard. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), along with related clarifications and improvements. This guidance results in key changes to lease accounting and aims to bring leases onto balance sheets to give investors, lenders, and other financial statement users a more comprehensive view of a company's long-term financial obligations as well as the assets it owns versus leases. The pronouncement requires lessees to recognize a liability for lease obligations, which represents the discounted obligation to make future lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use asset on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the requirements of the new lease standard effective January 2, 2019, the first day of fiscal year 2019, electing the optional transition method to apply the standard as of the effective date and therefore will not apply the standard to the comparative periods presented in the Company's financial statements. During the process of adoption, the Company made the following elections: • The Company elected the package of practical expedients which allowed the Company to not reassess: • Whether existing or expired contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease; • Lease classification for existing or expired leases; and • Initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases to determine if they would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842. • The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, which permits the use of hindsight when determining lease term and impairment of operating lease assets. • The Company did not elect the land easement practical expedient, which permits an entity to continue applying its current policy for accounting for land easements that existed as of, or expired before, the effective date of Topic 842. • The Company elected to make the accounting policy election for short-term leases, permitting the Company to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities and derecognized all landlord funded assets, deemed landlord financing liabilities, deferred rent liabilities and favorable lease assets and unfavorable lease liabilities upon transition. Upon adoption, the Company recorded operating lease liabilities of approximately $230.6 million based on the present value of the remaining rental payments using discount rates as of the effective date. In addition, the Company recorded corresponding operating lease right-of-use assets of approximately $218.9 million , calculated as the initial amount of the Company's operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepaid and deferred rent, unamortized favorable lease assets and unamortized unfavorable lease liabilities, liabilities associated with lease termination costs and impairment of right-of-use assets recognized in retained earnings as of January 2, 2019. At the beginning of the period of adoption, the Company recorded the cumulative effect of adoption to retained earnings. Beginning in fiscal 2019, leases historically treated as deemed landlord financing liabilities will be treated as operating leases resulting in an increase in occupancy and other expense and a decrease to depreciation expense and interest expense. The impact on the consolidated balance sheet was as follows: January 1, 2019 Effect of Adoption of Topic 842 (Leases) January 2, 2019 Assets (Unaudited) Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 7,153 $ — $ 7,153 Accounts and other receivables, net 3,167 — 3,167 Inventories 2,932 — 2,932 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 4,935 (2,564 ) 2,371 Assets held for sale 14,794 — 14,794 Total current assets 32,981 (2,564 ) 30,417 Property and equipment, net 161,429 (13,839 ) 147,590 Operating lease right-of-use assets — 218,855 218,855 Goodwill 321,531 — 321,531 Trademarks 220,300 — 220,300 Intangible assets, net 18,507 (7,576 ) 10,931 Other assets, net 4,208 — 4,208 Total assets $ 758,956 $ 194,876 $ 953,832 Liabilities and shareholders’ equity Current liabilities: Accounts payable $ 19,877 $ — $ 19,877 Other accrued liabilities 34,785 (425 ) 34,360 Current portion of finance lease obligations and deemed landlord financing liabilities 1,033 (547 ) 486 Current portion of operating lease liabilities — 17,303 17,303 Total current liabilities 55,695 16,331 72,026 Long-term debt, finance lease obligations and deemed landlord financing liabilities, excluding current portion, net 178,664 (19,040 ) 159,624 Operating lease liabilities — 213,313 213,313 Deferred income taxes 69,471 708 70,179 Other non-current liabilities 32,852 (18,348 ) 14,504 Total liabilities 336,682 192,964 529,646 Commitments and contingencies ( Note 15 ) Shareholders’ equity: Preferred stock, $0.0001 par value; 1,000,000 shares authorized; no shares issued and outstanding — — — Common stock, $0.0001 par value; 400,000,000 shares authorized; 37,049,140 shares issued and outstanding at March 26, 2019; 37,305,342 shares issued and outstanding at January 1, 2019 4 — 4 Additional paid-in capital 336,941 — 336,941 Accumulated other comprehensive income 180 — 180 Retained earnings 85,149 1,912 87,061 Total shareholders’ equity 422,274 1,912 424,186 Total liabilities and shareholders’ equity $ 758,956 $ 194,876 $ 953,832 Revenue Recognition The adoption of Topic 606 in Fiscal 2018 changed the timing of the recognition of initial franchise fees, including franchise and development fees, and renewal fees, both included in franchise revenue in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Franchise and renewal fees are deferred and recognized over the term of the related franchise agreement for the respective restaurant. Franchise agreements typically have a term of twenty years. During the twelve weeks ended March 26, 2019 and March 27, 2018 , the Company recognized approximately $21,000 and $13,000 , respectively, in franchise revenue related to the amortization of the deferred franchise fees recognized at January 1, 2019. Deferred franchise fees are recognized straight-line over the term of the underlying agreement and the amount expected to be recognized in franchise revenue for amounts in deferred franchise fees as of March 26, 2019 is as follows (in thousands): FY 2019 $ 88 FY 2020 112 FY 2021 110 FY 2022 109 FY 2023 106 Thereafter 1,229 Total Deferred Franchise Fees $ 1,754 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Except for the accounting policies for leases discussed in Note 7 that were updated as a result of adopting Topic 842, there have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2019, that have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related notes. |

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] | |
Restaurant Closure Charges, Net | Restaurant Closure Charges Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates long-lived assets for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company considers a triggering event to have occurred related to a specific restaurant if the restaurant’s cash flows are less than a minimum threshold or if consistent levels of undiscounted cash flows for the remaining lease period are less than the carrying value of the restaurant’s assets. In connection with the adoption of Topic 842, the Company evaluated the operating lease right-of-use assets for impairment indicating the carrying amount of the operating lease assets for certain restaurants may not be recoverable and recorded an impairment charge totaling $3.1 million at January 2, 2019 based on the estimates of future recoverable cash flows. Restaurant Closure Charges, Net At March 26, 2019 and January 1, 2019 , the restaurant closure liability was $0.1 million and $2.4 million , respectively. The details of the restaurant closure activities are discussed below. Restaurant Closures and Lease Reserves At January 1, 2019, the restaurant closure liability balance was $0.3 million related to restaurant closures prior to 2015. During the twelve weeks ended March 26, 2019, in connection with the adoption of Topic 842, the Company reclassified the $0.3 million restaurant closure liability to offset the respective operating lease right-of-use assets.

Summary of Refranchising and Franchise Acquisitions | Summary of Refranchising and Franchise Acquisitions In connection with the sale of company-operated restaurants to franchisees, the Company typically enters into several agreements, in addition to an asset purchase agreement, with franchisees including franchise and lease agreements. The Company typically sells restaurants’ inventory and equipment and retains ownership of the leasehold interest to the real estate to sublease to the franchisee. The Company has determined that its restaurant dispositions usually represent multiple-element arrangements, and as a result, the cash consideration received is allocated to the separate elements based on their relative selling price. Cash consideration generally includes up-front consideration for the sale of the restaurants and franchise fees and future cash consideration for royalties and lease payments. The Company considers the future lease payments in allocating the initial cash consideration received. The Company compares the stated rent under the lease and/or sublease agreements with comparable market rents and the Company records favorable or unfavorable lease assets/liabilities with a corresponding offset to the gain or loss on the sale of the company-operated restaurants. The cash consideration per restaurant for franchise fees is consistent with the amounts stated in the related franchise agreements which are charged for separate standalone arrangements. The Company initially defers and subsequently recognizes the franchise fees over the term of the franchise agreement. Future royalty income is also recognized in revenue as earned. The Company sold thirteen company-operated restaurants to franchisees in the first quarter of 2019. There was no refranchising activity during the twelve weeks ended March 27, 2018. The following table summarizes the related net loss recognized during the twelve weeks ended March 26, 2019 (dollars in thousands): 12 Weeks Ended March 26, 2019 Company-operated restaurants sold to franchisees 13 Proceeds from the sale of company-operated restaurants $ 2,090 Net assets sold (primarily furniture, fixtures and equipment) (a) (2,051 ) Goodwill related to the company-operated restaurants sold to franchisees (83 ) Allocation to deferred franchise fees (281 ) Favorable sublease assets, net 260 Loss on sale of company-operated restaurants (b) $ (65 ) (a) Included in assets held for sale at January 1, 2019.

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases, Finance | Leases The Company's material leases consist of restaurant locations and its executive offices with expiration dates through 2039. In general, the leases have remaining terms of 1 - 20 years, most of which include options to extend the leases for additional five -year periods. The lease term is generally the minimum noncancelable period of the lease. The Company does not include option periods unless the Company determines that it is reasonably certain of exercising the option at inception or when a triggering event occurs. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. In determining the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the Company applies a discount rate to the lease payments within each lease agreement. As most of the Company’s lease agreements do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The right-of-use asset also includes any lease payments made and is reduced by lease incentives, initial direct costs incurred and impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets and adjusted by favorable lease assets and unfavorable lease liabilities. Some of the Company's lease agreements contain rent escalation clauses (including adjustments based on changes in indexes), rent holidays, capital improvement funding or other lease concessions. The Company recognizes rental expense on a straight-line basis based on fixed components of a lease arrangement and the Company amortizes this expense over the term of the lease beginning with the date of initial possession. Variable lease components represent amounts that are not fixed in nature and are recognized in expense as incurred. The Company has subleased certain properties to other third parties where the Company remains primarily liable to the landlord for the performance of all obligations in the event that the sub-lessee does not perform its obligations under the lease. As a result of the sublease arrangements, future rental commitments under operating leases will be offset by sublease amounts to be paid by the sub-lessee. In general, the terms of the sublease are similar to the terms of the master lease. The components of lease cost were as follows (in thousands): Twelve Weeks Ended March 26, 2019 Operating lease cost $ 8,799 Finance lease cost: Amortization of right of use assets 133 Interest on lease liabilities 27 Short-term lease cost 101 Variable lease cost 390 Sublease income (912 ) Total lease cost $ 8,538 Supplemental balance sheet information related to the Company's operating and finance leases (noting the financial statement caption each is included with) as of March 26, 2019 and January 1, 2019 was as follows (in thousands): March 26, 2019 January 1, 2019 Operating lease assets: Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 223,542 $ — Operating lease liabilities: Current portion of operating lease liabilities $ 20,146 $ — Operating lease liabilities, excluding current portion 217,967 — Total operating lease liabilities $ 238,113 $ — Finance lease assets: Buildings under finance leases $ 1,061 $ 3,370 Accumulated depreciation (126 ) (2,193 ) Finance lease asset, net $ 935 $ 1,177 Finance lease obligations: Current portion of finance lease obligations, other debt and deemed landlord financing liabilities $ 428 $ 510 Long-term debt, finance lease obligations, other debt and deemed landlord financing liabilities, excluding current portion, net 616 757 Total finance lease obligations $ 1,044 $ 1,267 Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term (in years) March 26, 2019 Operating leases 11.7 Finance leases 3.5 Weighted Average Discount Rate March 26, 2019 Operating leases 6.97 % Finance leases 10.48 % Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows (in thousands): Twelve Weeks Ended March 26, 2019 Cash paid for amounts in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows used for operating leases $ 5,835 Operating cash flows used for finance leases $ 27 Financing cash flows used for finance leases $ 133 The estimated future lease payments as of March 26, 2019, are as follows (in thousands): Finance Lease Liabilities Operating Lease Liabilities Operating Subleases Net Lease Commitments 2019 $ 422 $ 27,407 $ (2,569 ) $ 25,260 2020 335 34,854 (3,209 ) 31,980 2021 200 33,526 (3,207 ) 30,519 2022 86 34,330 (3,189 ) 31,227 2023 79 29,491 (3,014 ) 26,556 Thereafter 125 194,678 (23,456 ) 171,347 Total lease payments $ 1,247 $ 354,286 $ (38,644 ) $ 316,889 Amounts representing interest (203 ) (116,173 ) (116,376 ) Present value of lease obligations $ 1,044 $ 238,113 $ 200,513 Rental commitments and sublease rental receipts as of January 1, 2019 , under finance and operating leases having an initial non-cancelable term of one year or more are shown in the following table (in thousands): Finance Lease and Deemed Landlord Financing Liabilities Operating Leases Operating Subleases Net Lease Commitments 2019 $ 3,561 $ 33,951 $ (2,564 ) $ 34,948 2020 3,317 32,071 (2,403 ) 32,985 2021 3,186 30,794 (2,409 ) 31,571 2022 3,056 29,362 (2,392 ) 30,026 2023 3,123 26,414 (2,274 ) 27,263 Thereafter 34,071 153,675 (16,844 ) 170,902 Total lease payments $ 50,314 $ 306,267 $ (28,886 ) $ 327,695 Imputed interest (29,003 ) Present value of payments $ 21,311 As of March 26, 2019, we have legally binding lease payments related to restaurant leases that have not yet commenced of $22.5 million .

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments 2016 Interest Rate Cap Agreement In June 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement that became effective July 1, 2016, to hedge cash flows associated with interest rate fluctuations on variable rate debt, with a termination date of March 31, 2020 ("2016 Interest Rate Cap Agreement"). The 2016 Interest Rate Cap Agreement had an initial notional amount of $70.0 million of the 2015 Senior Credit Facility that effectively converted that portion of the outstanding balance of the 2015 Senior Credit Facility from variable rate debt to capped variable rate debt, resulting in a change in the applicable interest rate from an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus the applicable margin (as provided by the 2015 Senior Credit Facility) to a capped interest rate of 2.00% plus the applicable margin. As of March 26, 2019 , one-month LIBOR was 2.49% . During the twelve weeks ended March 26, 2019 , the Company received payments totaling approximately $0.1 million related to the 2016 Interest Rate Cap Agreement. During the period from July 1, 2016 through March 26, 2019 , the 2016 Interest Rate Cap Agreement had no hedge ineffectiveness. To ensure the effectiveness of the 2016 Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the Company elected the one-month LIBOR rate option for its variable rate interest payments on term balances equal to or in excess of the applicable notional amount of the interest rate cap agreement as of each reset date. The reset dates and other critical terms on the term loans perfectly match with the interest rate cap reset dates and other critical terms during the twelve weeks ended March 26, 2019 . During the twelve weeks weeks ended March 26, 2019 , the Company reclassified approximately $29,000 of interest expense related to the hedges of these transactions into earnings. As of March 26, 2019 , the Company was hedging forecasted transactions expected to occur through March 31, 2020. Assuming interest rates at March 26, 2019 remain constant, $0.2 million of interest expense related to hedges of these transactions is expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next 12 months. The Company intends to ensure that this hedge remains effective, therefore, approximately $0.2 million is expected to be reclassified into interest expense over the next 12 months. The effective portion of the 2016 Interest Rate Cap Agreement through March 26, 2019 was included in accumulated other comprehensive income. |

The income tax expense for the twelve weeks ended March 26, 2019 is driven by the estimated effective income tax rate of 28.0% which primarily consists of statutory federal and state tax rates based on apportioned income and the impact of non-tax deductible compensation to executives, partially offset by federal targeted job credits. The income tax expense for the twelve weeks ended March 27, 2018 is driven by the estimated effective income tax rate of 27.1% which primarily consists of statutory federal and state tax rates based on apportioned income and the impact of non-tax deductible compensation to executives, partially offset by federal targeted job credits. Management believes it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be realized and therefore no valuation allowance as of March 26, 2019 and January 1, 2019 is required. |

Awards under the 2015 Plan are generally not restricted to any specific form or structure and could include, without limitation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, other cash-based compensation and performance awards. Under the plan, there were 3,300,000 shares of common stock reserved and authorized. At March 26, 2019 , there were 842,054 shares of common stock available for grant under the 2015 Plan. Stock-Based Compensation Expense The total compensation expense related to the 2015 Plan was $1.6 million and $1.3 million for the twelve weeks ended March 26, 2019 and March 27, 2018 , respectively.

As of March 26, 2019 , there was $9.1 million of unrecognized stock compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to restricted stock awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 2.3 years . The fair value of these awards was determined based on the Company’s stock price on the grant date.

Equity [Abstract] | |
Shareholders' Equity | Shareholders’ Equity On February 26, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program covering up to $25.0 million in the aggregate of the Company's common stock and warrants which was effective immediately and expires upon completion of the repurchase program, unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors. On August 23, 2016, the Company announced that the Board of Directors increased the repurchase program by $25.0 million , to $50.0 million . The Board of Directors authorized an additional increase for the repurchase program effective July 23, 2018 of another $25.0 million , to a total of $75.0 million .

The Company expects to retire the repurchased shares and therefore has accounted for them as constructively retired as of March 26, 2019 . As of March 26, 2019 , there was approximately $25.4 million remaining under the share repurchase program. The Company has no obligations to repurchase shares or warrants under this authorization, and the timing and value of shares and warrants purchased will depend on the Company's stock price, warrant price, market conditions and other factors. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings per Share | Earnings Per Share Basic income per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Del Taco’s common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In computing diluted income per share, basic income per share is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all applicable potentially dilutive share-based awards, including warrants, restricted stock, common stock options and restricted stock units. Below are basic and diluted net income per share for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands except share and per share data): 12 Weeks Ended March 26, 2019 March 27, 2018 Numerator: Net income $ 1,425 $ 3,229 Denominator: Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic 37,155,978 38,441,707 Dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock 188,934 306,583 Dilutive effect of stock options 1,407 21,454 Dilutive effect of warrants — 454,326 Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted 37,346,319 39,224,070 Net income per share - basic $ 0.04 $ 0.08 Net income per share - diluted $ 0.04 $ 0.08 Antidilutive stock options, unvested restricted stock awards and warrants excluded from the computations 6,546,264 128,048 |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies The primary claims in the Company’s business are workers’ compensation and general liabilities. These insurance programs are self-insured or high deductible programs with excess coverage that management believes is sufficient to adequately protect the Company. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for all incurred claims up to the self-insured or high deductible limits, including provision for estimated claims incurred but not reported. Because of the uncertainty of the ultimate resolution of outstanding claims, as well as the uncertainty regarding claims incurred but not reported, it is possible that management’s provision for these losses could change materially. However, no estimate can currently be made of the range of additional losses. Purchasing Commitments The Company enters into various purchase obligations in the ordinary course of business, generally of short term nature. Those that are binding primarily relate to commitments for food purchases and supplies, amounts owed under contractor and subcontractor agreements, orders submitted for equipment for restaurants under construction, information technology service agreements and marketing initiatives, some of which are related to both company-operated and franchise-operated locations. The Company also has a long-term beverage supply agreement with a major beverage vendor whereby marketing rebates are provided to the Company and its franchisees based upon the volumes of purchases for system-wide restaurants which vary according to demand for beverage syrup. This contract has terms extending into 2021 . The Company’s future estimated cash payments under existing contractual purchase obligations for goods and services as of March 26, 2019 , are approximately $55.1 million . The Company has excluded agreements that are cancelable without penalty. Litigation In March 2014, a former Del Taco employee filed a purported class action complaint alleging that Del Taco has not appropriately provided meal breaks and failed to pay wages to its California hourly employees. Discovery is in process and Del Taco intends to assert all of its defenses to this threatened class action and the individual claims. Del Taco has several defenses to the action that it believes could prevent the certification of the class, as well as the potential assessment of any damages on a class basis. Legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, and the Company is not able to predict the ultimate outcome or cost of the unresolved matter. However, based on management’s current understanding of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Company does not believe that these proceedings give rise to a probable or estimable loss and should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows. Therefore, Del Taco has not recorded any amount for the claim as of March 26, 2019 . In September 2018, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) filed a complaint on behalf of an individual complainant and an additional class of individuals alleging that Del Taco engaged in unlawful employment practices on the basis of sex and retaliation in violation of Title VII and are seeking an unspecified amount of damages. Del Taco has several defenses to the action that it believes could prevent a finding of liability in the case. Legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, and Del Taco is not able to predict the ultimate outcome or cost of the unresolved matter. However, based on management’s current understanding of the relevant facts and circumstances, Del Taco does not believe that these proceedings give rise to a probable or estimable loss and should not have a material adverse effect on Del Taco’s financial position, operations or cash flows. Therefore, Del Taco has not recorded any amount for the claim as of March 26, 2019 . The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to other legal proceedings incidental to their businesses, including claims alleging the Company’s restaurants do not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. In the opinion of management, based upon information currently available, the ultimate liability with respect to those other actions will not have a material effect on the operating results, cash flows or the financial position of the Company. However, due to the risks and uncertainties inherent in legal proceedings and litigation, actual results could differ from expectations. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). For additional information, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2019 ("2018 Form 10-K"). The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Tuesday closest to December 31. Fiscal year 2019 is a fifty-two week period ending December 31, 2019 . Fiscal year 2018 is the fifty-two week period ended January 1, 2019 . In a fifty-two week fiscal year, the first, second and third quarters each include twelve weeks of operations and the fourth quarter includes sixteen weeks of operations. For fiscal year 2019 , the Company’s accompanying financial statements reflect the twelve weeks ended March 26, 2019 . For fiscal year 2018 , the Company’s accompanying financial statements reflect the twelve weeks ended March 27, 2018 . Effective January 2, 2019 (the first day of fiscal year 2019), the Company adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases ( Topic 842 ), as discussed below in Note 2, using the modified retrospective method of transition. Current year results have been prepared in accordance with the new standard. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that such estimates have been based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and the resulting estimates are reasonable for use in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include estimates for impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, valuations provided in business combinations, insurance reserves, restaurant closure reserves, stock-based compensation, contingent liabilities, certain leasing activities and income tax valuation allowances |
Recently Issued and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract, which clarifies the accounting implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging ( Topic 815 ): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities , and issued additional clarifications and improvements during 2018. This guidance amends and simplifies existing guidance in order to allow companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. There was no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as a result of adopting this standard. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), along with related clarifications and improvements. This guidance results in key changes to lease accounting and aims to bring leases onto balance sheets to give investors, lenders, and other financial statement users a more comprehensive view of a company's long-term financial obligations as well as the assets it owns versus leases. The pronouncement requires lessees to recognize a liability for lease obligations, which represents the discounted obligation to make future lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use asset on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the requirements of the new lease standard effective January 2, 2019, the first day of fiscal year 2019, electing the optional transition method to apply the standard as of the effective date and therefore will not apply the standard to the comparative periods presented in the Company's financial statements. During the process of adoption, the Company made the following elections: • The Company elected the package of practical expedients which allowed the Company to not reassess: • Whether existing or expired contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease; • Lease classification for existing or expired leases; and • Initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases to determine if they would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842. • The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, which permits the use of hindsight when determining lease term and impairment of operating lease assets. • The Company did not elect the land easement practical expedient, which permits an entity to continue applying its current policy for accounting for land easements that existed as of, or expired before, the effective date of Topic 842. • The Company elected to make the accounting policy election for short-term leases, permitting the Company to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities and derecognized all landlord funded assets, deemed landlord financing liabilities, deferred rent liabilities and favorable lease assets and unfavorable lease liabilities upon transition. Upon adoption, the Company recorded operating lease liabilities of approximately $230.6 million based on the present value of the remaining rental payments using discount rates as of the effective date. In addition, the Company recorded corresponding operating lease right-of-use assets of approximately $218.9 million , calculated as the initial amount of the Company's operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepaid and deferred rent, unamortized favorable lease assets and unamortized unfavorable lease liabilities, liabilities associated with lease termination costs and impairment of right-of-use assets recognized in retained earnings as of January 2, 2019. At the beginning of the period of adoption, the Company recorded the cumulative effect of adoption to retained earnings. Beginning in fiscal 2019, leases historically treated as deemed landlord financing liabilities will be treated as operating leases resulting in an increase in occupancy and other expense and a decrease to depreciation expense and interest expense. The impact on the consolidated balance sheet was as follows: January 1, 2019 Effect of Adoption of Topic 842 (Leases) January 2, 2019 Assets (Unaudited) Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 7,153 $ — $ 7,153 Accounts and other receivables, net 3,167 — 3,167 Inventories 2,932 — 2,932 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 4,935 (2,564 ) 2,371 Assets held for sale 14,794 — 14,794 Total current assets 32,981 (2,564 ) 30,417 Property and equipment, net 161,429 (13,839 ) 147,590 Operating lease right-of-use assets — 218,855 218,855 Goodwill 321,531 — 321,531 Trademarks 220,300 — 220,300 Intangible assets, net 18,507 (7,576 ) 10,931 Other assets, net 4,208 — 4,208 Total assets $ 758,956 $ 194,876 $ 953,832 Liabilities and shareholders’ equity Current liabilities: Accounts payable $ 19,877 $ — $ 19,877 Other accrued liabilities 34,785 (425 ) 34,360 Current portion of finance lease obligations and deemed landlord financing liabilities 1,033 (547 ) 486 Current portion of operating lease liabilities — 17,303 17,303 Total current liabilities 55,695 16,331 72,026 Long-term debt, finance lease obligations and deemed landlord financing liabilities, excluding current portion, net 178,664 (19,040 ) 159,624 Operating lease liabilities — 213,313 213,313 Deferred income taxes 69,471 708 70,179 Other non-current liabilities 32,852 (18,348 ) 14,504 Total liabilities 336,682 192,964 529,646 Commitments and contingencies ( Note 15 ) Shareholders’ equity: Preferred stock, $0.0001 par value; 1,000,000 shares authorized; no shares issued and outstanding — — — Common stock, $0.0001 par value; 400,000,000 shares authorized; 37,049,140 shares issued and outstanding at March 26, 2019; 37,305,342 shares issued and outstanding at January 1, 2019 4 — 4 Additional paid-in capital 336,941 — 336,941 Accumulated other comprehensive income 180 — 180 Retained earnings 85,149 1,912 87,061 Total shareholders’ equity 422,274 1,912 424,186 Total liabilities and shareholders’ equity $ 758,956 $ 194,876 $ 953,832 Revenue Recognition The adoption of Topic 606 in Fiscal 2018 changed the timing of the recognition of initial franchise fees, including franchise and development fees, and renewal fees, both included in franchise revenue in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Franchise and renewal fees are deferred and recognized over the term of the related franchise agreement for the respective restaurant. Franchise agreements typically have a term of twenty years. During the twelve weeks ended March 26, 2019 and March 27, 2018 , the Company recognized approximately $21,000 and $13,000 , respectively, in franchise revenue related to the amortization of the deferred franchise fees recognized at January 1, 2019. Deferred franchise fees are recognized straight-line over the term of the underlying agreement and the amount expected to be recognized in franchise revenue for amounts in deferred franchise fees as of March 26, 2019 is as follows (in thousands): FY 2019 $ 88 FY 2020 112 FY 2021 110 FY 2022 109 FY 2023 106 Thereafter 1,229 Total Deferred Franchise Fees $ 1,754 |
