Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Description of Business Papa Murphy’s Holdings, Inc. (“Papa Murphy’s” or the “Company”), together with its subsidiaries, is a franchisor and operator of a Take ‘N’ Bake pizza chain. The Company franchises the right to operate Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake pizza franchises and operates Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake pizza stores owned by the Company. As of October 1, 2018 , the Company had 1,460 stores consisting of 1,420 domestic stores ( 1,307 franchised stores and 113 Company-owned stores) across 37 states, plus 40 franchised stores in Canada and the United Arab Emirates. Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are derived from retail sales of pizza and other food and beverage products to the general public by Company-owned stores and the collection of franchise royalties and fees associated with franchise and development rights. Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“ GAAP ”) for complete financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, have been made for the fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2018 . Principles of Consolidation The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Papa Murphy’s Holdings, Inc., its subsidiaries and certain entities which the Company consolidates as variable interest entities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Throughout the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, “Papa Murphy’s” and “the Company” refer to Papa Murphy’s Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Fiscal Year The Company uses a 52- or 53-week fiscal year, ending on the Monday nearest to December 31. Fiscal years 2018 and 2017 are 52-week years. All three month periods presented herein contain 13 weeks. All references to years and quarters relate to fiscal periods rather than calendar periods. References to fiscal 2018 and 2017 are references to fiscal years ending December 31, 2018 and ended January 1, 2018 , respectively. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ ASU 2014-09 ”) as of January 2, 2018. The Company adopted the new standard using the full retrospective method and elected applicable practical expedients on adoption. Accordingly, previously reported financial information has been restated to reflect the application of the new standard to all comparative periods presented. Adoption of ASU 2014-09 had a material impact on the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements . The most significant impacts relate to the: (i) accounting for franchise and development fees, and (ii) accounting for the Company’s advertising fund (the "Brand Marketing Fund" or " BMF ") and Convention Fund (with the BMF , the “ Brand Funds ”). Specifically, under the new standard the Company recognizes franchise fees ratably over the life of the contract rather than at the time the store is opened or a successive contract commences. Revenue related to the Company’s franchise royalties, which are based on a percentage of franchise sales, and revenue from Company-owned stores remain substantially unchanged. The Company has determined that ASU 2014-09 requires a gross presentation on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for revenues and related expenses of the BMF and Convention Fund, or Brand Funds . These funds exist solely for the purpose of promoting the Papa Murphy’s brand in the U.S. While this change materially affects the gross amount of reported revenues and expenses, the effect generally is an offsetting increase to both revenues and expenses with no net effect on reported Operating Income (Loss) and Net (Loss) Income . Refer to Impacts to Reported Results below for more detailed effects of adoption on the Company’s financial statements and refer to Note 10 — Revenue for more information on our accounting for revenue. Leases The Company early adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ ASU 2016-02 ”) as of January 2, 2018, concurrent with the adoption of the new revenue standard. The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach and elected the available practical expedients on adoption. Accordingly, previously reported financial information has been restated to reflect the application of the new standard to all comparative periods presented. Adoption of the new standard has had a material impact on the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements . The most significant impacts related to the (i) recognition of right-of-use (" ROU ") assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, and (ii) changes in occupancy costs and impairment losses related to prior year store closures and impairments. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. A loss is recognized when the ROU asset is impaired in connection with the impairment of a store’s assets due to economic or other factors. Refer to Impacts to Reported Results below for more detailed effects of adoption on the Company’s financial statements and refer to Note 11 — Leases for more information on our accounting for leases. Other standards adopted In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 320) (“ ASU 2016-15 ”), which clarifies the presentation of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the standard on January 2, 2018. Adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In preparation for the adoption of the above standards, the Company implemented internal controls and key system functionality to enable the preparation of financial information in accordance with the standards. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ ASU 2017-04 ”). The new standard simplifies how an entity measures goodwill impairment by removing the second step of the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity will no longer perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, impairment will be measured at the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of a reporting unit; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2017-04 requires prospective adoption and is effective for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-04 on its financial position and results of operations. Impacts to Reported Results Adoption of the standards related to revenue recognition and leases affected the Company’s previously reported results as follows: Statement of Operations Three Months Ended October 2, 2017 (unaudited) (in thousands, except earnings per share) As Reported New Revenue Standard Adjustment New Lease Standard Adjustment As Adjusted Total revenues (1) $ 26,825 $ 6,866 $ — $ 33,691 Store operating costs 16,647 (357 ) (338 ) 15,952 Selling, general, and administrative (1) 5,596 6,929 (8 ) 12,517 Loss on disposal or impairment of property and equipment 4,327 — 1,926 6,253 (Benefit from) provision for income taxes (1,575 ) 109 (585 ) (2,051 ) Net (loss) income (1,869 ) 185 (994 ) (2,678 ) Diluted (loss) earnings per share (0.11 ) 0.01 (0.06 ) (0.16 ) (1) Recognition of advertising revenue and expense on a gross basis instead of a net basis by the Brand Funds comprised $6.6 million of the revenue adjustment and $6.9 million of the expense adjustment under the revenue standard.

Segment Definitions As a result of changes in the Company’s executive management responsibilities, effective January 2, 2018, the Company changed its reportable segments by combining its domestic and international franchise business into a single Franchise segment and separating its Brand Funds into a separate reportable segment. No changes were made to the Company’s Company Stores segment. Management believes this change better reflects the priorities and decision making analysis around the allocation of the Company’s resources. Prior period results for the affected segments have been retrospectively revised to reflect this change. See Note 17 — Segment Information for additional information.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Measurement	9 Months Ended
	Oct. 01, 2018
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair value measurement	The Company determines the fair value of assets and liabilities based on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability to a market participant. GAAP defines a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the assumptions used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows: ▪ Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access. ▪ Level 2 — Observable inputs other than prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated with observable market data. ▪ Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. The following table presents information about the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments: October 1, 2018 January 1, 2018 (in thousands) Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Fair Value Measurement Financial assets Notes receivable (1) $ — $ — $ 97 $ 88 Level 3 Other receivables (1) 391 335 — — Level 3 (1) The fair value of notes receivable and other receivables were estimated primarily using a discounted cash flow method based on a discount rate, reflecting the applicable credit spread. The notes receivable were paid in full as of October 1, 2018 . Financial instruments not included in the table above consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term debt. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate carrying value because of the short-term nature of the accounts. The fair value of long-term debt approximates carrying value because the borrowings are made with variable market rates and negotiated terms and conditions that are consistent with current market rates.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue	The Company owns and franchises Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake pizza stores. Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive for those goods or services. The following are the principal activities from which the Company earns revenue: Company-owned Stores Revenue Company-owned stores revenue consists of retail sales of food through Company-owned stores located in the United States. Company-owned stores revenue is recognized when the food items are delivered to or carried out by customers. Customer payments are generally collected at the time of sale. Sales taxes collected from customers are remitted to the appropriate taxing authority and are not recognized as revenue. Franchise Revenues The franchise arrangement between the Company and each franchise owner of a Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake pizza store is documented in the form of a franchise agreement and, in select cases, a development agreement. The franchise arrangement requires the Company as franchisor to perform various activities to support the Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake pizza brand and does not involve the direct transfer of goods and services to the franchise owner as a customer. Activities performed by the Company are highly interrelated with the franchise license and are considered to represent a single performance obligation, which is the transfer of the franchise license. The nature of the Company’s promise in granting the franchise license is to provide the franchise owner with access to the brand’s intellectual property over the term of the franchise arrangement. The transaction price in a standard franchise arrangement consists of (a) franchise/development fees; (b) continuing franchise fees (royalties); and (c) advertising fees. Since the Company considers the franchise license to be a single performance obligation, no allocation of the transaction price under a standard agreement is performed for revenue recognition purposes. However, if additional separate and distinct goods or services are included with a franchise arrangement and are deemed to be additional performance obligations, the total transaction price of the contract is allocated to each performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation. Franchise revenues are recognized by the Company from the following different sources: • Royalty revenues. Royalty revenues, which include advertising fees from domestic franchise stores, are based on a percentage of sales and are recognized when the food items are delivered to or carried out by customers. Payments for domestic royalties and advertising fees are generally due and collected within seven days of the prior week end date. Payments for international royalties are due and collected within 30 days of month-end. • Franchise and development fees. Franchise and development fees are paid in advance of a store opening, typically when entering into a new franchise or development agreement. Fees allocated to the franchise license are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of each respective franchise store agreement. Initial franchise agreement terms are typically ten years while successive agreement terms are typically five years. The Company has determined that these fees, which are paid in advance of when they are recognized as revenue, do not contain a significant financing component. • E-commerce fees. E-commerce fees include point-of-sale (“ POS ”) support fees and transaction fees for purchases made through the Company’s e-commerce platform. POS support fees are due quarterly in advance and recognized as revenue over the respective quarter. Transaction fees are recognized when the food items purchased from a store are delivered to or carried out by customers and are due and collected within seven days of the prior week end date. • Vendor payments. Vendor payments are received from vendors that supply franchised and Company-owned stores with products and are typically based on the volume of product purchased by the stores. Revenues from the sale of products are recognized when product is shipped from a distribution center to a store. Payments are due and collected within 30 days after month-end. • Marketing kits. The Company charges domestic stores for marketing materials shipped to stores one to three times per quarter. These products are sold at cost and the revenues from their sale are recognized when the product is shipped by the vendors producing the kits. Payments are due and collected within 30 days of shipment. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment from customers. We record a receivable when revenue is recognized in advance of payment, and a contract liability (“unearned revenue”), when revenue is recognized subsequent to payment. Unearned revenue consists mainly of franchise and development fees paid in advance. A refund liability is recorded when it is known that an amount previously received will be refunded instead of recognized as revenue. The Company does not incur a significant amount of contract acquisition costs in conducting its franchising activities and has not capitalized any such costs.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	The Company leases the property for its corporate headquarters, Company-owned stores, and certain office equipment. The Company is not a party to leases for franchise locations except for two locations that operate under a sublease and a few leases assigned to franchisees when stores were refranchised wherein it remains secondarily liable (see Lease guarantees below). The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets , current portion of operating lease liabilities , and operating lease liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets . The Company currently has no finance leases. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets also exclude lease incentives received. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately. For certain equipment leases, such as copiers, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Lease terms for Company-owned stores are generally five years with one or more five-year renewal options and generally require the Company to pay a proportionate share of real estate taxes, insurance, common area, and other operating costs in addition to a base or fixed rent. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 0.5 to 10.2 years . For purposes of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms may be deemed to include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Economic performance of a store is the primary factor used to estimate whether an option to extend a lease term will be exercised or not. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The components of lease expense for the periods reported are as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended October 1, 2018 October 2, 2017 October 1, 2018 October 2, 2017 (in thousands) (unaudited) (as adjusted) (unaudited) (as adjusted) Operating lease cost $ 818 $ 1,150 $ 2,903 $ 3,609 Short-term lease cost 11 5 36 16 Variable lease cost 2 5 8 26 Sublease income (16 ) (17 ) (42 ) (53 ) Total lease cost $ 815 $ 1,143 $ 2,905 $ 3,598 Supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the periods reported is as follows: Nine Months Ended (in thousands) October 1, 2018 October 2, 2017 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 3,303 $ 3,655 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities 505 213 Weighted-average remaining lease term of operating leases 4.8 years 6.1 years Weighted-average discount rate of operating leases 4.5 % 4.8 % Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable leases as of October 1, 2018 are as follows (in thousands): Fiscal year 2018 $ 765 2019 4,500 2020 3,736 2021 2,626 2022 1,865 Thereafter 3,382 Total future minimum lease payments 16,874 Less imputed interest (2,839 ) Less lease liabilities held for sale (1) (2,340 ) Total Lease Liabilities $ 11,695 (1) Lease liabilities held for sale includes $0.8 million reported in Accrued expenses and other current assets (see Note 9 — Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities ) and $1.5 million reported in Other long-term liabilities in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets . As of October 1, 2018 , the Company had no operating leases that had not yet commenced. Lease guarantees The Company is the guarantor for operating leases of 37 franchised stores that have terms expiring on various dates from October 2018 to April 2025 . The obligations from these leases will generally continue to decrease over time as the leases expire. The applicable franchise owners continue to have primary liability for these operating leases. For the nine months ended October 1, 2018 , the Company was required to perform under one of these guarantees when a franchisee declared bankruptcy and defaulted on its obligations. As a result, the Company recorded a loss contingency of $170,000 for the nine months ended October 1, 2018 . As of October 1, 2018 , the Company does not believe it probable that it would be required to perform under any of the remaining guarantees.

Other Income and Expenses [Abstract]
Brand Marketing Fund	The Company manages the BMF on behalf of all Papa Murphy’s stores in the United States. The Company is committed under its franchise and other agreements to spend revenues of the BMF on marketing, creative efforts, media support, or related purposes specified in the agreements. Contributions to the BMF are recognized as revenue, while expenditures are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. Expenditures of the BMF are primarily amounts paid to third-parties, but may also include personnel expenses and allocated costs. At each reporting date, to the extent contributions to the BMF exceed expenditures on a cumulative basis, the excess contributions are recorded in accrued expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets . While no profit is recognized on amounts received by the BMF , when expenditures exceed contributions to the BMF on a cumulative basis, income from operations and net income may be affected due to the timing of when revenues are received and expenses are incurred. Information on the Company’s BMF balances for the periods reported is as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended October 1, 2018 October 2, 2017 October 1, 2018 October 2, 2017 (in thousands) (unaudited) (as adjusted) (unaudited) (as adjusted) Opening BMF deficit $ (5,877 ) $ (6,604 ) $ (5,461 ) $ (1,071 ) Net activity during the period 461 1,718 45 (3,815 ) Ending BMF deficit $ (5,416 ) $ (4,886 ) $ (5,416 ) $ (4,886 ) As of October 1, 2018 , previously recognized expenses of $5.4 million may be recovered in future periods if subsequent BMF contributions exceed expenditures.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Share (EPS)	The number of shares and earnings per share (“ EPS ”) data for all periods presented are based on the historical weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is calculated using income available to common stockholders divided by diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during each period, which includes unvested restricted common stock and outstanding stock options. Diluted EPS considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the common shares underlying such securities would have an anti-dilutive effect. The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted EPS : Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended October 1, 2018 October 2, 2017 October 1, 2018 October 2, 2017 (in thousands, except per share data) (unaudited) (as adjusted) (unaudited) (as adjusted) Earnings: Net (loss) income $ (639 ) $ (2,678 ) $ 2,327 $ (13,970 ) Shares: Weighted average common shares outstanding 16,945 16,882 16,924 16,863 Dilutive effect of restricted equity awards (1) — — 39 — Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding 16,945 16,882 16,963 16,863 (Loss) earnings per share: Basic (loss) earnings per share $ (0.04 ) $ (0.16 ) $ 0.04 $ (0.83 ) Diluted (loss) earnings per share $ (0.04 ) $ (0.16 ) $ 0.04 $ (0.83 ) (1) The Company’s securities that provide a right to receive common stock in the future such as stock options and restricted stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended October 1, 2018 and the three and nine months ended October 2, 2017, as the effect of including these shares in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended October 1, 2018 , and October 2, 2017 , an aggregated total of 0.6 million shares and 0.8 million shares, respectively, have been excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended October 1, 2018 , and October 2, 2017 , an aggregated total of 0.6 million shares and 1.0 million shares, respectively, have been excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Legal proceedings The Company is from time to time involved in litigation, certain other claims and arbitration matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of the probability of a loss and the determination as to whether a loss is reasonably estimable. These accruals are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the effects of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and technical experts and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. To the extent there is a reasonable possibility (within the meaning of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 450) that losses could exceed amounts already accrued, if any, and the additional loss or range of loss is able to be estimated, the Company discloses the additional loss or range of loss. In some instances, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate any potential loss or range of loss. The nature and progression of litigation can make it difficult to predict the impact a particular lawsuit will have on its business. There are many reasons that the Company cannot make these assessments, including, among others, one or more of the following: the early stages of a proceeding; damages sought that are unspecified, unsupportable, unexplained or uncertain; discovery not having been started or incomplete; the complexity of the facts that are in dispute; the difficulty of assessing novel claims; the parties not having engaged in any meaningful settlement discussions; the possibility that other parties may share in any ultimate liability; and/or the often slow pace of litigation. The Company currently is subject to litigation with a group of its franchise owners. In January 2014, six franchise owner groups claimed that the Company misrepresented its sales volumes, made false representations to them and charged excess advertising fees, among other things. The Company engaged in mediation with these franchise owners, which is required under the terms of their franchise agreements, in order to address and resolve their claims, but was unable to reach a settlement agreement. On April 4, 2014, a total of 12 franchise owner groups, including those franchise owners that previously made the allegations described above, filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Superior Court in Clark County, Washington, making essentially the same allegations for violation of the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act, fraud, negligent misrepresentation and breach of contract, and seeking declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as monetary damages. Based on motions filed by the Company in that lawsuit, the court ruled on July 9, 2014, that certain of the plaintiffs’ claims under the anti-fraud and nondisclosure provisions of the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act should be dismissed and that certain other claims in the case would need to be more specifically alleged. The court also ruled that the six franchise owner groups who had not mediated with the Company prior to filing the lawsuit must mediate with the Company in good faith, and that their claims shall be stayed until they have done so. On June 18, 2014, an additional 16 franchise owner groups, represented by the same counsel as the plaintiffs described above, filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court in Clark County, Washington making essentially the same allegations as made in the lawsuit described above and seeking declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as monetary damages. The court consolidated the two lawsuits into a single case and ordered that the plaintiffs in the new lawsuit, none of whom had mediated with the Company prior to filing the lawsuit, must do so, and that their claims be stayed until they have completed mediating with the Company in good faith. In October 2014, the Company engaged in mediation with the 22 franchise owner groups who had not previously done so. As a result of that mediation and other efforts, the Company reached resolution with 13 of the franchise owner groups involved in the consolidated lawsuits, and their claims have either been dismissed or dismissal is pending. In February 2015, the remaining franchise owner groups in the consolidated lawsuits filed an amended complaint, removing some claims, amending some claims, adding claims and naming some of the Company’s former and current franchise sales staff as additional individual defendants. In September 2016, the remaining 15 franchise owner groups in the consolidated lawsuits filed an amended complaint to add a claim under the Washington Consumer Protection Act based on substantially the same allegations as the prior claims, to re-plead claims under the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act that had previously been dismissed. In June 2017, the parties moved for summary judgment. The Company moved for summary judgment against two of the remaining franchise owner groups, the board of directors members moved for summary judgment on all claims against them, and the plaintiffs moved for summary judgment against all defendants on their Washington Consumer Protection Act and Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act claims. A hearing on the summary judgment motions was held on October 13, 2017. In July 2017, the Company engaged in mediation with the remaining 15 franchise owner groups in the consolidated lawsuits. As a result of that mediation and other efforts, the Company reached resolutions with six of the remaining franchise owner groups, and their claims have been dismissed. In April 2018, the Company reached resolution with four of the remaining franchise owner groups, conditioned upon dismissal of their claims. In June 2018, the Company reached resolution with an additional franchise owner group. On June 29, 2018, the Court granted the Company’s motion to strike the remaining franchise owner groups’ jury demand. The Court denied the Company’s motion for separate trials, because at the time of the hearing there were only two franchise owner groups remaining in the case, based on tentative settlements with two other groups. In July 2018, the Company entered into final settlements with two of the aforementioned franchise owner groups. In September 2018, the Company entered into a final settlement with an additional franchise owner group. There is one group remaining in the case, with a trial scheduled to start in the spring of 2019 in the Superior Court in Clark County, Washington. The Company is named as a defendant in a putative class action lawsuit filed by plaintiff John Lennartson on May 7, 2015, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. The lawsuit alleges the Company failed to comply with the requirements of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) when it sent SMS text messages to consumers. Mr. Lennartson asks that the court certify the putative class and that statutory damages under the TCPA be awarded to plaintiff and each class member. On October 14, 2016, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) granted the Company a limited waiver from the TCPA’s written consent requirements for certain text messages that it sent up through October 16, 2013 to individuals who, like Mr. Lennartson, provided written consent prior to October 16, 2013. On October 20, 2016, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal. On October 27, 2016, Mr. Lennartson filed a motion seeking to extend the time to respond to the summary judgment motion on the basis that he intends to appeal the FCC’s waiver. On November 4, 2016, the Court granted Mr. Lennartson’s motion to continue his response to the Company’s summary judgment motion until he could complete his appeal of the FCC’s waiver order. In addition, on January 9, 2017, Mr. Lennartson filed an amended complaint adding additional plaintiffs, some of whom provided consent after October 16, 2013, and who are therefore differently situated from Mr. Lennartson, as well as additional Washington state law claims. On October 27, 2017, plaintiffs moved to certify their putative class, which the Company opposed, and on November 22, 2017, the Company moved for summary judgment on all of plaintiffs’ claims. The Court issued a stay of the case for 30 days while the parties pursued settlement negotiations. On April 23, 2018, the parties entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release and plaintiffs filed a Motion and Memorandum for Preliminary Approval of Settlement with the Court. The Court gave preliminary approval to the settlement on May 16, 2018, in its Preliminary Approval Order Approving Settlement, Certifying Settlement Class, Approving Notice Plan, and Setting Fairness Hearing. The Court gave final approval to the settlement on September 28, 2018, in its Amended Final Order Approving Class Action Settlement, which resulted in the settlement and release of all claims, subject to appeal. In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to routine legal proceedings, claims and litigation in the ordinary course of its business. The Company may also engage in future litigation with franchise owners to enforce the terms of franchise agreements and compliance with brand standards as determined necessary to protect the Company’s brand, the consistency of products and the customer experience. Lawsuits require significant management attention and financial resources and the outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain. The Company does not, however, currently expect that the costs to resolve these routine matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Segment Information

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	As a result of changes in the Company’s executive management responsibilities, effective January 2, 2018, the Company changed its reportable segments by combining its domestic and international franchise business into a single Franchise segment and separating its Brand Funds business into a separate reportable segment. No changes were made to the Company’s Company Stores segment. Management believes this change better reflects the priorities and decision making analysis around the allocation of the Company’s resources. Prior period results for the affected segments have been retrospectively revised to reflect this change. The Company now has the following reportable segments: (i) Franchise; (ii) Company Stores; and (iii) Brand Funds. The Franchise segment includes operations with respect to franchised stores and derives its revenues primarily from franchise and development fees and franchise royalties from franchised stores. The Company Stores segment includes operations with respect to Company-owned stores and derives its revenues from retail sales of pizza and side items to the general public. The Brand Funds segment includes the Brand Marketing Fund and the Company’s Convention Fund. The Company measures the performance of its segments based on segment adjusted EBITDA and allocates resources based primarily on this measure. “ EBITDA ” is calculated as net (loss) income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes certain unallocated and corporate expenses. Although segment adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial condition or performance determined in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses segment adjusted EBITDA to compare the operating performance of its segments on a consistent basis and to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of its operational strategies. The Company’s calculation of segment adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. The following tables summarize information on revenues, adjusted EBITDA and assets for each of the Company’s reportable segments and include a reconciliation of segment adjusted EBITDA to (loss) income before income taxes: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended October 1, 2018 October 2, 2017 October 1, 2018 October 2, 2017 (in thousands) (unaudited) (as adjusted) (unaudited) (as adjusted) Revenues Franchise segment $ 10,361 $ 9,610 $ 32,886 $ 31,432 Brand Funds segment 6,552 7,000 17,673 22,931 Intersegment eliminations (1,041 ) (439 ) (3,683 ) (1,402 ) Franchise related 15,872 16,171 46,876 52,961 Company Stores segment 12,958 17,520 47,519 57,010 Total $ 28,830 $ 33,691 $ 94,395 $ 109,971 Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended October 1, 2018 October 2, 2017 October 1, 2018 October 2, 2017 (in thousands) (unaudited) (as adjusted) (unaudited) (as adjusted) Segment Adjusted EBITDA Franchise $ 5,617 $ 4,778 $ 18,664 $ 19,208 Company Stores (462 ) 312 529 1,637 Brand Funds 461 1,718 297 (3,814 ) Total reportable segments adjusted EBITDA 5,616 6,808 19,490 17,031 Corporate and unallocated (950 ) (1,262 ) (3,108 ) (5,801 ) Depreciation and amortization (1,662 ) (2,336 ) (5,677 ) (8,359 ) Interest expense, net (1,254 ) (1,305 ) (3,842 ) (3,818 ) CEO transition and restructuring costs (1) (27 ) (190 ) (390 ) (2,519 ) E-commerce impairment and transition costs (2) — — (350 ) (9,124 ) Store divestitures, closures, and impairments (3) (2,521 ) (5,981 ) (1,797 ) (8,595 ) Litigation settlement and reserves (4) — (463 ) (1,029 ) (463 ) (Loss) Income Before Income Taxes $ (798 ) $ (4,729 ) $ 3,297 $ (21,648 ) (1) Represents non-recurring management transition and restructuring costs in connection with the recruitment of a new Chief Executive Officer and other executive positions.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“ GAAP ”) for complete financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, have been made for the fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2018 .
Principles of consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Papa Murphy’s Holdings, Inc., its subsidiaries and certain entities which the Company consolidates as variable interest entities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Throughout the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, “Papa Murphy’s” and “the Company” refer to Papa Murphy’s Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Fiscal year	Fiscal Year The Company uses a 52- or 53-week fiscal year, ending on the Monday nearest to December 31. Fiscal years 2018 and 2017 are 52-week years. All three month periods presented herein contain 13 weeks. All references to years and quarters relate to fiscal periods rather than calendar periods. References to fiscal 2018 and 2017 are references to fiscal years ending December 31, 2018 and ended January 1, 2018 , respectively.
Recently issued accounting standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ ASU 2014-09 ”) as of January 2, 2018. The Company adopted the new standard using the full retrospective method and elected applicable practical expedients on adoption. Accordingly, previously reported financial information has been restated to reflect the application of the new standard to all comparative periods presented. Adoption of ASU 2014-09 had a material impact on the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements . The most significant impacts relate to the: (i) accounting for franchise and development fees, and (ii) accounting for the Company’s advertising fund (the "Brand Marketing Fund" or " BMF ") and Convention Fund (with the BMF , the “ Brand Funds ”). Specifically, under the new standard the Company recognizes franchise fees ratably over the life of the contract rather than at the time the store is opened or a successive contract commences. Revenue related to the Company’s franchise royalties, which are based on a percentage of franchise sales, and revenue from Company-owned stores remain substantially unchanged. The Company has determined that ASU 2014-09 requires a gross presentation on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for revenues and related expenses of the BMF and Convention Fund, or Brand Funds . These funds exist solely for the purpose of promoting the Papa Murphy’s brand in the U.S. While this change materially affects the gross amount of reported revenues and expenses, the effect generally is an offsetting increase to both revenues and expenses with no net effect on reported Operating Income (Loss) and Net (Loss) Income . Refer to Impacts to Reported Results below for more detailed effects of adoption on the Company’s financial statements and refer to Note 10 — Revenue for more information on our accounting for revenue. Leases The Company early adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ ASU 2016-02 ”) as of January 2, 2018, concurrent with the adoption of the new revenue standard. The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach and elected the available practical expedients on adoption. Accordingly, previously reported financial information has been restated to reflect the application of the new standard to all comparative periods presented. Adoption of the new standard has had a material impact on the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements . The most significant impacts related to the (i) recognition of right-of-use (" ROU ") assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, and (ii) changes in occupancy costs and impairment losses related to prior year store closures and impairments. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. A loss is recognized when the ROU asset is impaired in connection with the impairment of a store’s assets due to economic or other factors. Refer to Impacts to Reported Results below for more detailed effects of adoption on the Company’s financial statements and refer to Note 11 — Leases for more information on our accounting for leases. Other standards adopted In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 320) (“ ASU 2016-15 ”), which clarifies the presentation of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the standard on January 2, 2018. Adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In preparation for the adoption of the above standards, the Company implemented internal controls and key system functionality to enable the preparation of financial information in accordance with the standards. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ ASU 2017-04 ”). The new standard simplifies how an entity measures goodwill impairment by removing the second step of the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity will no longer perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, impairment will be measured at the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of a reporting unit; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2017-04 requires prospective adoption and is effective for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-04 on its financial position and results of operations.

Revenue (Policies)	9 Months Ended

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue recognition, Company Stores	Company-owned stores revenue consists of retail sales of food through Company-owned stores located in the United States. Company-owned stores revenue is recognized when the food items are delivered to or carried out by customers. Customer payments are generally collected at the time of sale. Sales taxes collected from customers are remitted to the appropriate taxing authority and are not recognized as revenue.
Revenue recognition, royalties	Royalty revenues. Royalty revenues, which include advertising fees from domestic franchise stores, are based on a percentage of sales and are recognized when the food items are delivered to or carried out by customers. Payments for domestic royalties and advertising fees are generally due and collected within seven days of the prior week end date. Payments for international royalties are due and collected within 30 days of month-end.
Revenue recognition, franchise fees	Franchise Revenues The franchise arrangement between the Company and each franchise owner of a Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake pizza store is documented in the form of a franchise agreement and, in select cases, a development agreement. The franchise arrangement requires the Company as franchisor to perform various activities to support the Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake pizza brand and does not involve the direct transfer of goods and services to the franchise owner as a customer. Activities performed by the Company are highly interrelated with the franchise license and are considered to represent a single performance obligation, which is the transfer of the franchise license. The nature of the Company’s promise in granting the franchise license is to provide the franchise owner with access to the brand’s intellectual property over the term of the franchise arrangement. The transaction price in a standard franchise arrangement consists of (a) franchise/development fees; (b) continuing franchise fees (royalties); and (c) advertising fees. Since the Company considers the franchise license to be a single performance obligation, no allocation of the transaction price under a standard agreement is performed for revenue recognition purposes. However, if additional separate and distinct goods or services are included with a franchise arrangement and are deemed to be additional performance obligations, the total transaction price of the contract is allocated to each performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation. Franchise and development fees. Franchise and development fees are paid in advance of a store opening, typically when entering into a new franchise or development agreement. Fees allocated to the franchise license are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of each respective franchise store agreement. Initial franchise agreement terms are typically ten years while successive agreement terms are typically five years. The Company has determined that these fees, which are paid in advance of when they are recognized as revenue, do not contain a significant financing component.
Revenue recognition, other	The Company charges domestic stores for marketing materials shipped to stores one to three times per quarter. These products are sold at cost and the revenues from their sale are recognized when the product is shipped by the vendors producing the kits. Payments are due and collected within 30 days of shipment. Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive for those goods or services. Vendor payments are received from vendors that supply franchised and Company-owned stores with products and are typically based on the volume of product purchased by the stores. Revenues from the sale of products are recognized when product is shipped from a distribution center to a store. Payments are due and collected within 30 days after month-end. E-commerce fees include point-of-sale (“ POS ”) support fees and transaction fees for purchases made through the Company’s e-commerce platform. POS support fees are due quarterly in advance and recognized as revenue over the respective quarter. Transaction fees are recognized when the food items purchased from a store are delivered to or carried out by customers and are due and collected within seven days of the prior week end date.
Revenue recognition, deferred revenue	The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment from customers. We record a receivable when revenue is recognized in advance of payment, and a contract liability (“unearned revenue”), when revenue is recognized subsequent to payment. Unearned revenue consists mainly of franchise and development fees paid in advance. A refund liability is recorded when it is known that an amount previously received will be refunded instead of recognized as revenue.
Revenue recognition, contract acquisition costs	The Company does not incur a significant amount of contract acquisition costs in conducting its franchising activities and has not capitalized any such costs.

Leases (Policies)

Leases (Policies)	9 Months Ended

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets also exclude lease incentives received. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately. For certain equipment leases, such as copiers, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Lease terms for Company-owned stores are generally five years with one or more five-year renewal options and generally require the Company to pay a proportionate share of real estate taxes, insurance, common area, and other operating costs in addition to a base or fixed rent. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 0.5 to 10.2 years . For purposes of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms may be deemed to include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Economic performance of a store is the primary factor used to estimate whether an option to extend a lease term will be exercised or not.

Brand Marketing Fund	Contributions to the BMF are recognized as revenue, while expenditures are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. Expenditures of the BMF are primarily amounts paid to third-parties, but may also include personnel expenses and allocated costs. At each reporting date, to the extent contributions to the BMF exceed expenditures on a cumulative basis, the excess contributions are recorded in accrued expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets . While no profit is recognized on amounts received by the BMF , when expenditures exceed contributions to the BMF on a cumulative basis, income from operations and net income may be affected due to the timing of when revenues are received and expenses are incurred.
