	Description of Business
	Restaurant Brands International Limited Partnership (“Partnership,” “we,” “us” and “our”) was formed on August 25, 2014 as a general partnership and was registered on October 27, 2014 as a limited partnership in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario. Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Partnership is a successor issuer to Burger King Worldwide, Inc. (“Burger King Worldwide”). Partnership is the indirect parent of The TDL Group Corp. (f/k/a Tim Hortons ULC and Tim Hortons Inc.) (“Tim Hortons”), a limited liability company existing under the laws of British Columbia that franchises and operates quick service restaurants that serve premium coffee and other beverage and food products under the Tim Hortons® brand and Burger King Worldwide, a Delaware corporation that franchises and operates fast food hamburger restaurants principally under the Burger King® brand. We are one of the world’s largest quick service restaurant, or QSR, chains as measured by the total number of restaurants. As of March 31, 2015, we franchised or owned a total of 19,111 restaurants in approximately 100 countries and U.S. territories worldwide. Approximately 100% of current Tim Hortons and Burger King system-wide restaurants are franchised.
	We are a limited partnership organized under the laws of Ontario and a subsidiary of Restaurant Brands International Inc. (“RBI”). RBI is our sole general partner. As our general partner, RBI has the exclusive right, power and authority to manage, control, administer and operate the business and affairs and to make decisions regarding the undertaking and business of Partnership in accordance with the partnership agreement (“partnership agreement”) and applicable laws. There is no board of directors of Partnership. RBI has established a conflicts committee composed entirely of “independent directors” (as such term is defined in the partnership agreement) in order to consent to, approve or direct various enumerated actions on behalf of RBI (in its capacity as our general partner) in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement.
	The following table outlines our restaurant count and activity, by brand and consolidated, for the periods indicated.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation	3 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation	Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
	We have prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, the Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2015.
	The Financial Statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We consolidate entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, the usual condition of which is ownership of a majority voting interest. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in other affiliates that are owned 50% or less where we have significant influence are accounted for by the equity method.
	We also consider for consolidation entities in which we have certain interests, where the controlling financial interest may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. Such an entity, known as a variable interest entity (“VIE”), is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that possesses the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are significant to it. Our most significant variable interests are Tim Hortons advertising funds and in entities that operate restaurants under our subsidiaries’ franchise arrangements and certain equity method investees that operate as master franchisees. Our maximum exposure to loss resulting from involvement with potential VIEs is attributable to trade and notes receivable balances, outstanding loan guarantees and future lease payments, where applicable.
	We do not have any ownership interests in our franchisees’ businesses, except for investments in various entities that are accounted for under the equity method. Tim Hortons has historically entered into certain arrangements in which an operator acquires the right to operate a restaurant, but Tim Hortons owns the restaurant’s assets. In these arrangements, Tim Hortons has the ability to determine which operators manage the restaurants and for what duration. Tim Hortons previously also entered into interest-free financing in connection with a Franchise Incentive Program (“FIP Note”) with certain U.S. restaurant owners whereby restaurant owners finance the initial franchise fee and purchase of restaurant assets. In both operator and FIP arrangements, we perform an analysis to determine if the legal entity in which operations are conducted is a VIE and consolidate a VIE entity if we also determine Tim Hortons is the entity’s primary beneficiary (“Restaurant VIEs”). Additionally, Tim Hortons participates in advertising funds which, on behalf of Tim Hortons Company restaurants and franchise restaurants, collect contributions and administer funds for advertising and promotional programs. Tim Hortons is the sole shareholder (Canada) and sole member (U.S.) in these funds, and is the primary beneficiary of these funds (the “Advertising VIEs”). As Burger King franchise and master franchise arrangements provide the franchise and master franchise entities the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance, we do not consider ourselves the primary beneficiary of any such entity that might be a VIE.
	In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the Financial Statements. The results for interim periods do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Such estimates and assumptions may be affected by volatile credit, equity, foreign currency, energy markets and declines in consumer spending. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2015, amounts previously classified as restricted cash were reclassified to cash and cash equivalents as a result of removing contractual restrictions and our intent to no longer classify this cash as restricted. This reclassification is reflected as a source of cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
	Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements have been reclassified in order to be comparable with the current year classifications. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
The Transactions	Note 3. The Transactions
	On December 12, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), a series of transactions (the “Transactions”) were completed resulting in Partnership indirectly acquiring Burger King Worldwide and Tim Hortons (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and Burger King Worldwide was determined to be the accounting acquirer. The primary reason for the Acquisition was to create one of the world’s largest quick service restaurant companies.
	Upon completion of the Transactions, Partnership issued to RBI 202.0 million Class A common units and 68,530,939 Partnership preferred units. In connection with the Transactions, Partnership also issued 265.0 million Class B exchangeable limited partnership units of Partnership (“Partnership exchangeable units”) to former holders of Burger King Worldwide common stock.
	The total consideration paid in the Acquisition was $11,294.9 million and the purchase price allocation shown in the table below reflects preliminary fair value estimates based on management analysis, including preliminary work performed by third-party valuation specialists. We will continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair value of net assets acquired at the Closing Date during the measurement period. Measurement period adjustments will be applied retrospectively to the Closing Date. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, no revisions to the preliminary purchase price allocation were made.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	Note 4. New Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update that amends accounting guidance on revenue recognition. Under this guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity should disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. In early 2015, the FASB tentatively decided to defer for one year the effective date of the new revenue standard. The accounting standards update permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the impact of this accounting standards update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the accounting standards update on our ongoing financial reporting.
	In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this accounting standards update will have on our financial statements.
	In April 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the new guidance, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early application permitted. Other than the change in presentation, this accounting standards update will not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings (Loss) Per Unit/Share	Note 5. Earnings (Loss) Per Unit/Share
	As a result of the reorganization of Burger King Worldwide into Partnership following the Transactions, Partnership uses the two-class method in the computation of earnings per unit. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, RBI, as the holder of the Class A common units, is entitled to receive distributions from Partnership in an amount per unit equal to the aggregate dividends payable by RBI to holders of RBI common shares, and the holders of Partnership exchangeable units are entitled to receive distributions from Partnership in an amount per unit equal to the dividends payable by RBI on each RBI common share. Partnership’s net income available to common unitholders is allocated between the Class A common units and Partnership exchangeable units on a fully-distributed basis and reflects residual net income after noncontrolling interests and Partnership preferred unit distributions. Basic and diluted earnings per Class A common unit is determined by dividing net income allocated to Class A common unitholders by the weighted average number of Class A common units outstanding for the period. Basic and diluted earnings per Partnership exchangeable unit is determined by dividing net income allocated to the Partnership exchangeable units by the weighted average number of Partnership exchangeable units outstanding during the period.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the net income (loss) allocated to Partnership exchangeable units was calculated as 56.7% of net income (loss) attributable to common unitholders. The weighted average Partnership exchangeable units for the three months ended March 31, 2015 reflects the 265.0 million Partnership exchangeable units received in exchange for Burger King Worldwide common shares during 2014.
	Prior to the Transactions, our equity reflected 100% ownership by Burger King Worldwide shareholders. Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is computed by dividing net income (loss) allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for Burger King Worldwide shareholders during this period.
	From and after the one year anniversary of the effective date of the Transactions, the holders of Partnership exchangeable units will each have the right to require Partnership to exchange all or any portion of such holder’s Partnership exchangeable units on a one-for-one basis for RBI common shares, subject to RBI’s right as the general partner of Partnership, in RBI’s sole discretion, to deliver a cash payment in lieu of RBI common shares. The allocation of net income attributable to common unitholders between Partnership’s Class A common units and Partnership exchangeable units will be affected by the exchange of Partnership exchangeable units in future periods.
	We apply the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive weighted average common shares represented by Burger King Worldwide outstanding stock options prior to the date of the Transactions, unless the effect of their inclusion was anti-dilutive. Subsequent to the Transactions, since all stock options were issued by RBI, there are no dilutive securities for Partnership as the exercise of stock options will not affect the number of Class A common units or Partnership exchangeable units outstanding. However, the issuance of shares by RBI in future periods will affect the allocation of net income attributable to common unitholders between Partnership’s Class A common units and Partnership exchangeable units.

	The aggregate carrying amount of our equity method investments was $122.4 million as of March 31, 2015 and $124.9 million as of December 31, 2014 and is included as a component of other assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
	With respect to our Tim Hortons (TH) business, the most significant equity investment is our 50% joint-venture interest with the Wendy’s Company, which jointly holds real estate underlying Canadian combination restaurants. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, Tim Hortons received $2.4 million in cash distributions and recognized $4.9 million of contingent rent expense associated with this joint venture.
	With respect to our Burger King (BK) business, most of the entities in which we have an equity interest own or franchise Burger King restaurants. Franchise and property revenue we recognized from franchisees that are owned or franchised by entities in which we have an equity interest consist of the following:

	(Income) loss from equity method investments reflects our share of investee net income or loss. During 2015, we recorded a $10.9 million noncash dilution gain included in (income) loss from equity method investments on the issuance of capital stock by BK Brasil Operacao E Assesoria A Restaurantes S.A. (“Brazil JV”), one of our equity method investees. This issuance of capital stock reduced our ownership interest in the Brazil JV from approximately 25 percent to approximately 20 percent. The dilution gain reflects an adjustment to the difference between the amount of our underlying equity in the net assets of the Brazil JV before and after the issuance of capital stock.

Income Taxes	Note 12. Income Taxes
	During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company completed a series of transactions which resulted in a change to the company’s legal and capital structure. The restructure impacts the comparability of the current period effective tax rate to prior period.
	Our effective tax rate was 48.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The higher rate during the current quarter was primarily due to the revaluation of certain monetary assets and liabilities as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates which had an unfavorable impact of approximately 19%. To a lesser extent the rate for the quarter was unfavorably impacted by certain non-deductible transactions costs. The remainder of the effective rate is primarily based on the mix of income from multiple tax jurisdictions.
	Our effective tax rate was 25.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily as a result of the mix of income from multiple tax jurisdictions.

	Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, RBI, as the holder of Class A common units, is entitled to receive distributions from Partnership in an amount equal to the aggregate dividends payable by RBI to holders of RBI common shares, and the holders of Partnership exchangeable units are entitled to receive distributions from Partnership in an amount per unit equal to the dividend payable by RBI on each RBI common share. Additionally, if RBI proposes to redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any RBI common shares, the partnership agreement requires that Partnership, immediately prior to such redemption, repurchase or acquisition, make a distribution to RBI on the Class A common units in an amount sufficient for RBI to fund such redemption, repurchase or acquisition, as the case may be.
	Each holder of a Partnership exchangeable unit is entitled to vote in respect of matters on which holders of RBI common shares are entitled to vote through one special voting share of RBI. From and after the one year anniversary of the effective date of the Transactions, the holder of Partnership exchangeable units will have the right to require Partnership to exchange all or any portion of such holder’s Partnership exchangeable units for RBI common shares at a ratio of one common share for each Partnership exchangeable unit, subject to RBI’s right as the general partner of Partnership, in its sole discretion, to deliver a cash payment in lieu of RBI common shares.

	Our derivatives are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis that incorporates observable market parameters, such as interest rate yield curves and currency rates, classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. Derivative valuations incorporate credit risk adjustments that are necessary to reflect the probability of default by us or the counterparty.
	Investments held in a rabbi trust consist of money market funds and mutual funds and the fair value measurements are derived using quoted prices in active markets for the specific funds which are based on Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value measurements of the ERP liabilities are derived principally from observable market data which are based on Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.
	At March 31, 2015, the fair value of our variable rate term debt and bonds was estimated at $9.1 billion, compared to a carrying amount of $8.9 billion, net of original issue discount. At December 31, 2014, the fair value of our variable rate term debt and bonds was estimated at $10.1 billion, compared to a carrying amount of $10.0 billion, net of original issue discount. Fair value of variable rate term debt and fixed rate debt was estimated using inputs based on bid and offer prices and are Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.
	Certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to periodic impairment tests. These items primarily include long-lived assets, goodwill, the Burger King and Tim Hortons brand and other intangible assets.

	We enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes, including derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, derivatives designated as net investment hedges and those utilized as economic hedges. We use derivatives to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates. See Note 14 for fair value measurements of our derivative instruments.
	Interest Rate Swaps
	During November 2014, we entered into a series of six forward-starting receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in the interest payments associated with our 2014 Term Loan Facility beginning April 1, 2015, through the expiration of the sixth swap on March 31, 2021. The initial notional value of the swaps was $6,733.1 million, which initially aligned with the outstanding principal balance of the 2014 Term Loan Facility as of April 1, 2015, and will be reduced quarterly in accordance with the principal repayments of the 2014 Term Loan Facility. There are six sequential interest rate swaps to achieve the hedged position. Each year on March 31, the existing interest rate swap will expire and will be immediately replaced with a new interest rate swap until the expiration of the arrangement on March 31, 2021. At inception, these interest rate swaps were designated as a cash flow hedge for hedge accounting, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in market value are recorded in AOCI and are reclassified into earnings during the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we temporarily discontinued hedge accounting on these forward-starting interest rate swaps as a result of the mandatory prepayment of our 2014 Term Loan Facility as well as changes to forecasted cash flows. During this same period, we settled $42.7 million of these instruments equal to the amount of the mandatory prepayment of our 2014 Term Loan Facility. Of the remaining $6,690.4 million of notional outstanding at March 31, 2015, we re-designated $5,690.4 million of notional amount as a cash flow hedge for hedge accounting and $1,000.0 million of notional amount is not designated for hedge accounting and as such changes in fair value on this portion of the forward-starting interest rate swaps are recognized in current earnings.
	During October 2014, we also entered into a series of receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps with a combined initial notional value of $6,750.0 million that is amortized each quarter at the same rate of the 2014 Term Loan Facility. Each year in March, the existing interest rate swap will expire and will be immediately replaced with a new interest rate swap until the expiration of the arrangement on March 31, 2021. To offset the cash flows associated with these interest rate swaps, in November 2014 we entered into a series of six annual mirror interest rate swaps in which we will receive-fixed and pay-variable on a total notional value of $6,750.0 million that is amortized each quarter at the same rate of the 2014 Term Loan Facility. Each year in March, the existing interest rate swap will expire and will be immediately replaced with a new interest rate swap until the expiration of the arrangement on March 31, 2021. These interest rate swaps are not designated for hedge accounting and as such changes in fair value are recognized in current earnings.
	During 2012, we entered into three forward-starting interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $2,300.0 million to hedge the variability of forecasted interest payments on our forecasted debt issuance attributable to changes in LIBOR. These swaps were settled during the fourth quarter of 2014. The forward-starting interest rate swaps fixed LIBOR on $1,000.0 million of floating-rate debt beginning 2015 and an additional $1,300.0 million of floating-rate debt starting 2016. During 2014, we discontinued hedge accounting on our forward-starting interest rate swaps as it was probable at the time that the forecasted transactions will not occur since we intended to repay our outstanding 2012 Term Loan Facility concurrently with the Transactions and did not anticipate issuing new debt in 2015 or 2016. Whenever hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, we continue to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet and recognize any subsequent changes in fair value in earnings. When it is no longer probable that a forecasted transaction will occur, we discontinue hedge accounting and recognize immediately in earnings any gains and losses, attributable to those forecasted transactions that are probable not to occur, that were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) related to the hedging relationship. Prior to the discontinuance of hedge accounting, we accounted for these swaps as cash flow hedges, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in market value was recorded in AOCI and was to be reclassified into earnings during the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.
	Cross-Currency Rate Swaps
	To protect the value of our investments in our foreign operations against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we may, from time to time, hedge a portion of our net investment in one or more of our foreign subsidiaries by using cross-currency rate swaps. At March 31, 2015, we designated cross-currency rate swap contracts between the Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar and the Euro and U.S. dollar as net investment hedges of a portion of our equity in foreign operations in those currencies. The component of the gains and losses on our net investment in these designated foreign operations driven by changes in foreign exchange rates are economically offset by movements in the fair value of our cross currency swap contracts. The fair value of the swaps is calculated each period with changes in fair value reported in AOCI net of tax. Such amounts will remain in AOCI until the complete or substantially complete liquidation of our investment in the underlying foreign operations.
	At March 31, 2015, we had outstanding cross-currency rate swaps in which we pay quarterly between 4.802%-7.002% on a tiered payment structure per annum on the Canadian dollar notional amount of C$5,641.7 million and receive quarterly between 3.948%-6.525% on a tiered payment structure per annum on the U.S. dollar notional amount of $5,000.0 million through the maturity date of March 31, 2021. At inception, these derivative instruments were not designated for hedge accounting and as such changes in fair value were recognized in current earnings. Beginning with the closing of the Transactions on December 12, 2014, we designated these cross-currency rate swaps as a hedge and began accounting for these derivative instruments as net investment hedges.
	At March 31, 2015, we also had outstanding a cross-currency rate swap in which we pay quarterly fixed-rate interest payments on the Euro notional amount of €$1,107.8 million and receive quarterly fixed-rate interest payments on the U.S. dollar notional amount of $1,200.0 million through the maturity date of March 31, 2021. At inception, this cross-currency rate swap was designated as a hedge and is accounted for as a net investment hedge.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we terminated our cross-currency rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $315.0 million. In connection with this termination, we received $52.1 million and is reflected as a source of cash provided by investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The net unrealized gains totaled $31.8 million as of March 31, 2015. Such amounts will remain in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the complete or substantially complete liquidation of our investment in the underlying foreign operations. At inception, these cross-currency rate swaps were designated as a hedge and were accounted for as net investment hedges. A total notional value of $115.0 million of these swaps were contracts to exchange quarterly fixed-rate interest payments we make in Euros for quarterly fixed-rate interest payments we receive in U.S. dollars and had an original maturity of October 19, 2016. A total notional value of $200.0 million of these swaps were contracts to exchange quarterly floating-rate interest payments we make in Euros based on EURIBOR for quarterly floating-rate interest payments we receive in U.S. dollars based on LIBOR and had an original maturity of September 28, 2017. These cross-currency rate swaps also required the exchange of Euros and U.S. dollar principal payments upon maturity.
	Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
	We use foreign exchange derivative instruments to manage the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on U.S. dollar purchases and payments, such as coffee, made by our Canadian Tim Hortons operations. At March 31, 2015, we had outstanding forward currency contracts to manage this risk in which we sell Canadian dollars and buy U.S. dollars with a notional value of $160.8 million with maturities ranging between April 2015 and December 2015. We have designated these instruments as cash flow hedges, as of the date of the acquisition, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in market value are recorded in AOCI and are reclassified into earnings during the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.
	Interest Rate Caps
	During 2010, we entered into interest rate cap agreements (the “Cap Agreements”) to manage interest rate risk related to our variable debt. The six year Cap Agreements were a series of individual caplets that reset and settled quarterly with an original maturity of October 19, 2016, consistent with the payment dates of our LIBOR-based term debt. The Cap Agreements were designated as cash flow hedges and to the extent they were effective in offsetting the variability of the variable rate interest payments, changes in the derivatives’ fair values were not included in current earnings but were included in AOCI. At each cap maturity date, the portion of the fair value attributable to the matured cap was reclassified from AOCI into earnings as a component of interest expense, net.
	During 2014 we terminated the Cap Agreements and discontinued hedge accounting for our Cap Agreements in connection with the repayment of the 2012 Term Loans, 2010 Senior Notes and 2011 Discount Notes concurrent with the Transactions.
	Credit Risk
	By entering into derivative instrument contracts, we are exposed to counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is in an asset position, the counterparty has a liability to us, which creates credit risk for us. We attempt to minimize this risk by selecting counterparties with investment grade credit ratings and regularly monitoring our market position with each counterparty.
	Credit-Risk Related Contingent Features
	Our derivative instruments do not contain any credit-risk related contingent features.

Share-Based Compensation	Note 16. Share-Based Compensation
	Share-based incentive awards are provided to employees, directors and other persons who provide services to RBI, Partnership or subsidiaries under the terms of various share-based compensation plans.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2015, approximately 4,437,000 RBI stock options were granted. These awards generally cliff vest five years from the original grant date and expire ten years following the grant date.
	We recorded $15.5 million of share-based compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in share-based compensation was mainly due to $11.1 million related to the remeasurement of liability-classified TH stock options to fair value and additional stock options granted during 2015 and 2014.

	-2	In fiscal 2014, the Ad Fund entered into an agreement with a Tim Hortons subsidiary for the Tim Card Revolving Credit Facility and the Tim Card Loan. These balances are eliminated upon consolidation of the Ad Fund.
	The liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not necessarily represent additional claims on our general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the consolidated VIEs. Conversely, assets recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims by our creditors as they are not legally included within RBI’s general assets.
	VIEs for which we are not the primary beneficiary
	We have investments in certain TH real estate ventures and certain BK master franchisees, which were determined to be VIEs of which we are not the primary beneficiary. We do not consolidate these entities as control is considered to be shared by both TH and the other joint owners in the case of the TH real estate ventures, or control rests with other parties in the case of BK master franchisee VIEs.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Note 20. Segment Reporting
	Under the Tim Hortons brand, we operate in the donut/coffee/tea category of the quick service segment of the restaurant industry. Under the Burger King brand, we operate in the fast food hamburger restaurant category of the quick service segment of the restaurant industry. We generate revenue from four primary sources: (i) franchise revenues, consisting primarily of royalties based on a percentage of sales reported by franchise restaurants and franchise fees paid by franchisees; (ii) property revenues we derive from properties we lease or sublease to our franchisees; (iii) retail sales at Company restaurants; and (iv) distribution sales exclusive to Tim Hortons related to our supply chain operations, including manufacturing, procurement, warehousing and distribution.
	Prior to the first quarter of 2015, we had five operating segments consisting of TH and four geographical regions of BK. We completed an internal reorganization of our business following the Transactions, which resulted in two brand presidents, both of whom report to our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is our Chief Executive Officer. This reorganization changed the way our CODM manages and evaluates our business. Accordingly, during the first quarter of 2015, we determined we had two operating segments: (1) TH, which includes all operations of our Tim Hortons brand and (2) BK, which includes all operations of our Burger King brand.
	We also determined that our two operating segments represent our reportable segments. This change had no effect on our previously reported consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In connection with this change, we have reclassified historical amounts to conform to our current segment presentation.
	Revenues by operating segment consist of the following:
			Three Months Ended
			March 31,
			2015			2014
	Revenues:
	TH		$	682.4		$	—
	BK			249.6			240.9
	Total revenues		$	932		$	240.9
	Only Canada and the U.S. represented more than 10% of our total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and only the U.S. represented more than 10% of our total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Revenues in Canada and the U.S. totaled $602.2 million and $232.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, respectively. Revenues in the U.S. totaled $142.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
	Our measure of segment income is adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings (net income or loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation and non-cash incentive compensation expense, other operating expenses (income), net, (income) loss from equity method investments, net of cash distributions received from equity method investments, and all other specifically identified items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations and assists management in comparing segment performance by removing the impact of such items, including amortization of cost of sales step-up and Tim Hortons transaction and restructuring costs. A reconciliation of segment income to net income (loss) consists of the following:

	(a)	In connection with the Acquisition, we acquired inventory that is recorded at fair value at the time of the Acquisition. We recorded a charge equal to the difference between the fair value and historical carrying value as the underlying product sold. Based on our management judgment, these non-cash charges are not indicative of underlying business trends or operational performance.
	(b)	Represents the impact of (i) our proportionate share of the net (income) loss recognized by our equity method investments and (ii) cash distributions received from our equity method investments. Cash distributions received from our equity method investments are included in segment income.
