Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "we," "us," "our," "Shake Shack" and the "Company" refer to Shake Shack Inc. and its subsidiaries, including SSE Holdings, LLC, which we refer to as "SSE Holdings." We operate and license Shake Shack restaurants ("Shacks"), which serve hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, crinkle cut fries, shakes, frozen custard, beer, wine and more. As of December 26, 2018 , there were 208 Shacks in operation, system-wide, of which 124 were domestic company-operated Shacks, 12 were domestic licensed Shacks and 72 were international licensed Shacks. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation. SSE Holdings is considered a variable interest entity. Shake Shack Inc. is the primary beneficiary as we have the majority economic interest in SSE Holdings and, as the sole managing member, have decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity, while the limited partners have no substantive kick-out or participating rights. As a result, we will continue to consolidate SSE Holdings. The assets and liabilities of SSE Holdings represent substantially all of our consolidated assets and liabilities with the exception of certain deferred taxes and liabilities under the Tax Receivable Agreement. As of December 26, 2018 and December 27, 2017 , the net assets of SSE Holdings were $232,711 and $197,301 , respectively. The assets of SSE Holdings are subject to certain restrictions in SSE Holdings' revolving credit agreements. See Note 9 for more information. Fiscal Year We operate on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the last Wednesday in December. Fiscal year 2018 contained 52 weeks and ended on December 26, 2018 . Fiscal year 2017 contained 52 weeks and ended on December 27, 2017 . Fiscal year 2016 contained 52 weeks and ended on December 28, 2016 . Unless otherwise stated, references to years in this report relate to fiscal years. Use of Estimates The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Segment Reporting We own and operate Shacks in the United States. We also have domestic and international licensed operations. Our chief operating decision maker (the "CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer. As the CODM reviews financial performance and allocates resources at a consolidated level on a recurring basis, we have one operating segment and one reportable segment. Fair Value Measurements We apply fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, we assume the highest and best use of the asset by market participants in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and credit risk. Assets and liabilities are classified using a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels, and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: ▪ Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities ▪ Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities ▪ Level 3 - Inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements reflecting an entity's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on hand, deposits with banks, and short-term, highly liquid investments that have original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from landlords for tenant improvement allowances, receivables from our licensees for licensing revenue and related reimbursements, credit card receivables and vendor rebates. We evaluate the collectibility of our accounts receivable based on a variety of factors, including historical experience, current economic conditions and other factors. Inventories Inventories, which consist of food, beer, wine, other beverages and retail merchandise, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. No adjustment is deemed necessary to reduce inventory to net realizable value due to the rapid turnover and high utilization of inventory. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment is depreciated based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally ranging from three to seven years for equipment, furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment and software. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful life or the related lease life, generally ranging from 10 to 15 years. Landlord funded assets are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful life or the related lease life, generally ranging from 10 to 15 years. For leases with renewal periods at our option, we use the original lease term, excluding renewal option periods, to determine estimated useful lives. Costs incurred when constructing Shacks are capitalized. The cost of repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Costs for refurbishments and improvements that significantly increase the productive capacity or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. When assets are disposed of, the resulting gain or loss is recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). We assess potential impairments to our long-lived assets, which includes property and equipment, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 . Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt and establishing credit facilities are capitalized and amortized to interest expense based on the related debt agreements. Deferred financing costs are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other Assets Other assets consist primarily of capitalized implementation costs from cloud computing arrangements, long-term marketable securities, security deposits, transferable liquor licenses and certain custom furniture pre-ordered for future Shacks and yet to be placed in service. The costs of obtaining non-transferable liquor licenses that are directly issued by local government agencies for nominal fees are expensed as incurred. The costs of purchasing transferable liquor licenses through open markets in jurisdictions with a limited number of authorized liquor licenses are capitalized as indefinite-lived intangible assets. Annual liquor license renewal fees are expensed over the renewal term. As of December 26, 2018 and December 27, 2017 , indefinite-lived intangible assets relating to transferable liquor licenses totaled $1,159 and $894 , respectively. We evaluate our indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during our fiscal fourth quarter, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. When evaluating other intangible assets for impairment, we may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an intangible asset group is impaired. If we do not perform the qualitative assessment, or if we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible asset group exceeds its carrying amount, we calculate the estimated fair value of the intangible asset group. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset group exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the estimated fair value. In addition, we continuously monitor and may revise our intangible asset useful lives if and when facts and circumstances change. Equity-based Compensation Equity-based compensation expense is measured based on fair value. For awards with graded-vesting features and service conditions only, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award. For awards with graded-vesting features and a combination of service and performance conditions, compensation expense is recognized using a graded-vesting attribution method over the vesting period based on the most probable outcome of the performance conditions. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur for all equity awards. Equity-based compensation expense is included within general and administrative expenses and labor and related expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) . Leases We lease all of our domestic company-operated Shacks, our Home Office and certain equipment under various non-cancelable lease agreements that expire on various dates through 2035. Generally, our real estate leases have initial terms ranging from 10 to 15 years and typically include two five -year renewal options. At the inception of each lease, we determine its classification as an operating or capital lease. Most of our leases are classified as operating leases and typically provide for fixed minimum rent payments and/or contingent rent payments based upon sales in excess of specified thresholds. When the achievement of such sales thresholds are deemed to be probable, contingent rent is accrued in proportion to the sales recognized during the period. For operating leases that include rent holidays and rent escalation clauses, we recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term from the date we take possession of the leased property. The difference between the straight-line rent amounts and amounts payable under the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent and is included as rent expense in occupancy and related expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) . Rent expense incurred before a Shack opens is recorded in pre-opening costs. Once a domestic company-operated Shack opens, we record the straight-line rent expense and any contingent rent, if applicable, in occupancy and related expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) . Many of our leases also require us to pay real estate taxes, common area maintenance costs and other occupancy costs which are included in occupancy and related expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) . We expend cash for leasehold improvements to build out and equip our leased premises. Generally, a portion of the leasehold improvements and building costs are reimbursed by our landlords as landlord incentives pursuant to agreed-upon terms in our lease agreements. If obtained, landlord incentives usually take the form of up-front cash, full or partial credits against our future minimum or contingent rents otherwise payable by us, or a combination thereof. When contractually due, we classify landlord incentives as deferred rent on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortize the landlord incentives on a straight-line basis over the lease term as a reduction of occupancy costs and related expenses or pre-opening costs on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) . Lease Financing Arrangements In certain leasing arrangements, due to our involvement in the construction of the leased assets, we are considered the owner of the leased assets for accounting purposes. In such cases, in addition to capitalizing our own construction costs, we capitalize the construction costs funded by the landlord related to our leased premises, and also recognize a corresponding liability for those costs as deemed landlord financing. If, upon completion of construction, the arrangement does not meet the sales recognition criteria under the sale-leaseback accounting guidance, we are precluded from de-recognizing the landlord-funded asset and related financing obligation and continue to account for the landlord-funded asset as if we were the legal owner. If de-recognition is permitted we are required to account for the lease as either an operating or capital lease. As of December 26, 2018 , we were deemed to be the accounting owner of 24 leased Shacks, one of which was under construction as of the end of the period. As of December 27, 2017 , we were deemed to be the accounting owner of 23 leased Shacks, 11 of which were under construction as of the end of the period. Revenue Recognition Revenue consists of Shack sales and licensing revenue. Generally, revenue is recognized as promised goods or services transfer to the guest or customer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue from Shack sales is presented net of discounts and recognized when food, beverage and retail products are sold. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from Shack sales and the obligation is included in sales tax payable until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities. Revenue from our gift cards is deferred and recognized upon redemption. Licensing revenues include initial territory fees, Shack opening fees, and ongoing sales-based royalty fees from licensed Shacks. Income Taxes We account for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities related to the expected future tax consequences arising from temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Any effects of changes in income tax rates or laws are included in income tax expense in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is recognized if we determine it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be recognized. Pre-Opening Costs Pre-opening costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of legal fees, marketing expenses, occupancy, manager and employee wages, travel and related training costs incurred prior to the opening of a Shack. Advertising The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $399 , $357 and $147 in fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and are included in general and administrative expense and other operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) . Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements We adopted the Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) summarized below in fiscal 2018. Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Description Date Adopted Revenue from Contracts with Customers and related standards (ASU’s 2014-09, 2015-14, 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-12, 2016-20) This standard supersedes the existing revenue recognition guidance and provides a new framework for recognizing revenue. The core principle of the standard is that 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 and services. The new standard also requires significantly more comprehensive disclosures than the existing standard. Guidance subsequent to ASU 2014-09 has been issued to clarify various provisions in the standard, including principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations, licensing transactions, as well as various technical corrections and improvements. See Note 3 for more information. December 28, 2017 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01) For public business entities, this standard requires: (i) certain equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (ii) a qualitative assessment to identify impairment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values; (iii) elimination of the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (iv) use of the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (v) separate presentation in other comprehensive income of the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; (vi) separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset in the financial statements; and (vii) an entity to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. December 28, 2017 Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Payments (ASU 2016-15) This standard provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. December 28, 2017 Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (ASU 2018-15) This standard provides additional guidance on accounting for costs of implementation activities performed in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs of such arrangements with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard also clarifies the presentation and classification of the capitalized costs, amortization expense, and the associated treatment in the statement of cash flows by aligning these items with the same treatment for costs of the hosting service itself. We adopted this standard on a prospective basis on September 27, 2018, and began capitalizing certain costs related to the implementation of an enterprise-wide system initiative that previously would have been expensed. As of December 26, 2018, we have capitalized certain implementation costs within other assets. We will begin amortizing the implementation costs once the system is ready for its intended use, on a straight-line basis, over the term of the related service agreements. The amortization expense related to cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts will be recorded within general and administrative expenses. September 27, 2018 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Description Expected Impact Effective Date Leases (ASU's 2016-02, 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11) This standard establishes a new lease accounting model, which introduces the recognition of lease assets and liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. It should be applied using a modified retrospective approach applied either at the beginning of the earliest period presented, or at the adoption date, with the option to elect various practical expedients. Early adoption is permitted. We will adopt the standard on December 27, 2018, electing the optional transition method to apply the standard as of the transition date. As a result, we will not apply the standard to the comparative periods presented. We have elected the transition package of three practical expedients permitted under the new standard, which among other things, allows us to carryforward our historical lease classifications. We also made certain accounting policy elections for new leases post-transition, including the election to combine components. The adoption will have a significant impact to our consolidated balance sheet given the extent of our real estate lease portfolio. We will derecognize all landlord funded assets, deemed financing liabilities and deferred rent liabilities upon transition. We will record a right-of-use asset and lease liability for those leases as well as all other existing leases, the majority of which are real estate operating leases. We expect the adoption to result in a net increase of between $207,000 to $217,000 in lease assets and $202,000 to $212,000 in lease liabilities. The difference between the additional lease assets and lease liabilities, net of tax, will be recorded as an adjustment through equity. Our existing operating leases will not have a material impact on our statement of income post-transition. For those leases where we are involved in construction and deemed to be the accounting owner, they will be accounted for as operating leases post-transition, resulting in an increase to occupancy and related expenses, and a decrease to interest and depreciation expense. We are substantially complete with our implementation efforts. December 27, 2018 |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block] | REVENUE On December 28, 2017 we adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of December 28, 2017. We elected a practical expedient to aggregate the effect of all contract modifications that occurred before the adoption date, which did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. Results for reporting periods beginning on or after December 28, 2017 are presented under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 ("ASC 606"). Prior period amounts were not revised and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC Topic 605 ("ASC 605"), the accounting standard then in effect. Upon transition, on December 28, 2017, we recorded a decrease to opening equity of $1,574 , net of tax, of which $1,135 was recognized in retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and $439 in non-controlling interest, with a corresponding increase of $1,769 in other long-term liabilities, a decrease of $68 in other current liabilities and an increase of $100 to accounts receivable. Revenue Recognition Revenue consists of Shack sales and licensing revenue. Generally, revenue is recognized as promised goods or services transfer to the guest or customer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue from Shack sales is presented net of discounts and recognized when food, beverage and retail products are sold. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from Shack sales and the obligation is included in sales tax payable until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities. Revenue from our gift cards is deferred and recognized upon redemption. Licensing revenues include initial territory fees, Shack opening fees and ongoing sales-based royalty fees from licensed Shacks. Generally, the licenses granted to develop, open and operate each Shack in a specified territory are the predominant goods or services transferred to the licensee in our contracts, and represent distinct performance obligations. Ancillary promised services, such as training and assistance during the initial opening of a Shack, are typically combined with the licenses and considered as one performance obligation per Shack. We determine the transaction price for each contract, which is comprised of the initial territory fee and an estimate of the total Shack opening fees we expect to be entitled to. The calculation of total Shack opening fees included in the transaction price requires judgment, as it is based on an estimate of the number of Shacks we expect the licensee to open. The transaction price is then allocated equally to each Shack expected to open. The performance obligations are satisfied over time, starting when a Shack opens, through the end of the term of the license granted to the Shack. Because we are transferring licenses to access our intellectual property during a contractual term, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the license term. Generally, payment for the initial territory fee is received upon execution of the licensing agreement and payment for the restaurant opening fees are received either in advance of or upon opening the related restaurant. These payments are initially deferred and recognized as revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied, which occurs over a long-term period. Revenue from sales-based royalties is recognized as the related sales occur. Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, Shack opening fees were recorded as deferred revenue when received and proportionate amounts were recognized as revenue when a licensed Shack opened and all material services and conditions related to the fee were substantially performed. Territory fees were recorded as deferred revenue when received and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the license agreement, which generally began upon execution of the contract. Revenue recognized during fiscal 2018 under ASC 606 and revenue that would have been recognized during fiscal 2018 had ASC 605 been applied is as follows: As reported under ASC 606 If reported under ASC 605 Increase (decrease) Shack sales $ 445,589 $ 445,589 $ — Licensing revenue 13,721 14,389 (668 ) Total revenue $ 459,310 $ 459,978 $ (668 ) Revenue recognized during fiscal 2018 (under ASC 606) and fiscal 2017 and 2016 (under ASC 605) disaggregated by type is as follows: December 26 December 27 December 28 Shack sales $ 445,589 $ 346,388 $ 259,350 Licensing revenue: Sales-based royalties 13,422 11,633 8,765 Initial territory and opening fees 299 789 360 Total revenue $ 459,310 $ 358,810 $ 268,475 The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of December 26, 2018 is $15,333 . We expect to recognize this amount as revenue over a long-term period, as the license term for each Shack ranges from 5 to 20 years. This amount excludes any variable consideration related to sales-based royalties. Contract Balances Opening and closing balances of contract liabilities and receivables from contracts with customers for fiscal 2018 is as follows: December 26 December 28 Shack sales receivables $ 2,550 $ 2,184 Licensing receivables 2,616 1,522 Gift card liability 1,796 1,472 Deferred revenue, current 307 265 Deferred revenue, long-term 10,026 3,742 Revenue recognized during fiscal 2018 that was included in the balances of gift card liability and deferred revenue, current, at the beginning of the period is $506 and $253 , respectively. |

On December 28, 2017, we adopted ASU 2016-01, which requires certain equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Net un realized losses on available-for-sale equity securities totaling $61 were included on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during fiscal 2018 . Net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities totaling $74 were included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 27, 2017 . The following tables summarize the gross unrealized losses and fair values for investments in debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of December 26, 2018 and December 27, 2017 , aggregated by length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous loss position: Less than 12 Months 12 Months or Greater Total Fair Value Unrealized Loss Fair Value Unrealized Loss Fair Value Unrealized Loss As of December 26, 2018 — — — — — — As of December 27, 2017 1,675 (12 ) 162 (3 ) 1,837 (15 ) A summary of other income from available-for-sale securities recognized during fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 is as follows: 2018 2017 2016 Available-for-sale securities: Dividend income $ 1,392 $ 830 $ 296 Interest income 9 77 88 Loss on investments (3 ) (5 ) (7 ) Unrealized loss on available-for-sale equity securities (61 ) — — Total other income, net $ 1,337 $ 902 $ 377 A summary of available-for-sale securities sold and gross realized gains and losses recognized during fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 is as follows: 2018 2017 2016 Available-for-sale securities: Gross proceeds from sales and redemptions $ 2,144 $ 2,223 $ 938 Cost basis of sales and redemptions 2,160 2,271 956 Gross realized gains included in net income 2 1 2 Gross realized losses included in net income (18 ) (49 ) (20 ) Amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss 16 47 19 Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identification method and are included in other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) . We periodically review our marketable securities for other-than-temporary impairment. We consider factors such as the duration, severity and the reason for the decline in value, the potential recovery period and our intent to sell. For our debt securities, we also considered whether (i) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, and (ii) the amortized cost basis cannot be recovered as a result of credit losses. As of December 26, 2018 and December 27, 2017 , the declines in the market value of our marketable securities investment portfolio are considered to be temporary in nature. Other Financial Instruments The carrying value of our financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses as of December 26, 2018 and December 27, 2017 approximated their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include our long-lived assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets. There were no impairments recognized during fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 . |

DEBT | DEBT In January 2015, we executed a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which became effective on February 4, 2015 (together with the prior agreements and amendments, and as further amended, the "Revolving Credit Facility"), which provides for a total revolving commitment amount of $50,000 , of which $20,000 is available immediately. The Revolving Credit Facility will mature and all amounts outstanding will be due and payable five years from the effective date. The Revolving Credit Facility permits the issuance of letters of credit upon our request of up to $10,000 . In May 2016, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, lower the borrowing rates. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either: (i) LIBOR plus a percentage ranging from 2.3% to 3.3% or (ii) the prime rate plus a percentage ranging from 0.0% to 0.8% , depending on the type of borrowing made under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 26, 2018 and December 27, 2017 , there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 26, 2018 , we had $19,317 of availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, after giving effect to $683 in outstanding letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of SSE Holdings and the guarantors. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of SSE Holdings' wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (with certain exceptions). The Revolving Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to, subject to specified exceptions, incur additional debt; incur additional liens and contingent liabilities; sell or dispose of assets; merge with or acquire other companies; liquidate or dissolve ourselves; pay dividends or make distributions; engage in businesses that are not in a related line of business; make loans, advances or guarantees; engage in transactions with affiliates; and make investments. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains certain cross-default provisions. We are required to maintain a specified consolidated fixed-charge coverage ratio and a specified funded net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, both as defined under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 26, 2018 , we were in compliance with all covenants. In March 2013, we entered into a promissory note in the amount of $313 in connection with the purchase of a liquor license, and we repaid the entire outstanding balance of the promissory note during the fiscal year ended December 28, 2016 . As of December 26, 2018 and December 27, 2017 we had deemed landlord financing liabilities of $20,846 and $14,518 , respectively, for certain leases where we are involved in the construction of leased assets and are considered the accounting owner of the construction project. Refer to Note 10 for further details regarding these leases. Total interest costs incurred were $2,572 , $1,806 and $374 in fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Amounts capitalized into property and equipment were $157 and $164 during fiscal 2018 and 2017 , respectively. No amounts were capitalized into property and equipment during fiscal 2016 . |

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Deferred Compensation In fiscal 2014, we entered into an incentive bonus agreement with one of our executives, whereby the executive is entitled to receive a deferred compensation award in the amount of $2,450 payable by us in March 2018. This amount was included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 27, 2017 . In fiscal 2013, we recorded $2,054 of deferred compensation expense to recognize the present value of the incentive bonus liability, which was included within general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss). There was no such expense in fiscal 2018 , 2017 or 2016 . The difference between the present value of the bonus liability and the amount payable was accreted to interest expense over the term of the agreement. For the purpose of funding our deferred compensation obligation, we established a grantor trust, commonly referred to as a "rabbi trust," and contributed $2,450 to the trust in October 2015. Assets held by the trust were subject to creditor claims. In March 2018, we paid the entire incentive bonus of $2,450 to our executive from the trust. No amounts were held in the trust or payable by us as of December 26, 2018 . Defined Contribution Plan Our employees are eligible to participate in a defined contribution savings plan maintained by Union Square Hospitality Group, LLC, a related party. The plan is funded by employee and employer contributions. We pay our share of the employer contributions directly to the third party trustee. Employer contributions to the plan are at our discretion. Effective January 2014, we began making contributions matching a portion of participants' contributions. We match 100% of participants' contributions for the first 3% of eligible compensation contributed and 50% of contributions made in excess of 3% of eligible compensation up to 5% of eligible compensation. Employer contributions totaled $509 , $389 and $257 for fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. |

NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS | NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS We are the sole managing member of SSE Holdings and, as a result, consolidate the financial results of SSE Holdings. We report a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in SSE Holdings held by the other members of SSE Holdings. The SSE Holdings LLC Agreement provides that holders of LLC Interests may, from time to time, require SSE Holdings to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Interests for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one -for-one basis. In connection with any redemption or exchange, we will receive a corresponding number of LLC Interests, increasing our total ownership interest in SSE Holdings. Changes in our ownership interest in SSE Holdings while we retain our controlling interest in SSE Holdings will be accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of LLC Interests in SSE Holdings by the other members of SSE Holdings will result in a change in ownership and reduce the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and increase additional paid-in capital. The following table summarizes the ownership interest in SSE Holdings as of December 26, 2018 and December 27, 2017 : 2018 2017 LLC Interests Ownership % LLC Interests Ownership % Number of LLC Interests held by Shake Shack Inc. 29,520,833 79.6 % 26,527,477 72.1 % Number of LLC Interests held by non-controlling interest holders 7,557,347 20.4 % 10,250,007 27.9 % Total LLC Interests outstanding 37,078,180 100.0 % 36,777,484 100.0 % The weighted average ownership percentages for the applicable reporting periods are used to attribute net income and other comprehensive loss between Shake Shack Inc. and the non-controlling interest holders.

Stock Options In January 2015, we adopted the 2015 Incentive Award Plan (the "2015 Plan") under which we may grant up to 5,865,522 stock options and other equity-based awards to employees, directors and officers. The stock options granted generally vest equally over periods ranging from one to five years. We do not use cash to settle any of our equity-based awards, and we issue new shares of Class A common stock upon the exercise of stock options. The fair value of stock option awards was determined on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on the following weighted-average assumptions: 2018 2017 2016 Expected term (years) (1) 7.5 7.5 5.5 Expected volatility (2) 42.5 % 44.5 % 50.7 % Risk-free interest rate (3) 2.8 % 2.1 % 1.5 % Dividend yield (4) — % — % — % (1) Expected term represents the estimated period of time until an award is exercised and was determined using the simplified method. (2) Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of a selected peer group over a period equivalent to the expected term. (3) The risk-free rate rate is an interpolation of yields on U.S. Treasury securities with maturities equivalent to the expected term. (4) We have assumed a dividend yield of zero as we have no plans to declare dividends in the foreseeable future.

The actual number of equity awards earned is based on the level of performance achieved over a predetermined performance period, relative to established financial goals, none of which are considered market conditions. For performance stock units granted during fiscal 2018 , the amount of awards that can be earned ranges from 0% to 125% of the number of performance stock units granted, based on the achievement of approved financial goals over a one -year performance period. In addition to the performance conditions, performance stock units are also subject to a requisite service period and the awards vest ratably over three years. The fair value of performance stock units is determined based on the closing market price of our Class A common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense related to the performance stock units is recognized using a graded-vesting attribution method over the vesting period based on the most probable outcome of the performance conditions.

INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES We are the sole managing member of SSE Holdings, and as a result, consolidate the financial results of SSE Holdings. SSE Holdings is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, SSE Holdings is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by SSE Holdings is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including us, on a pro rata basis. We are subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income or loss of SSE Holdings, as well as any stand-alone income or loss generated by Shake Shack Inc. We are also subject to withholding taxes in foreign jurisdictions. Income Tax Expense The components of income before income taxes are follows: 2018 2017 2016 Domestic $ 21,595 $ 152,204 $ 20,623 Foreign 9,215 8,089 7,873 Income before income taxes $ 30,810 $ 160,293 $ 28,496 The components of income tax expense are as follows: 2018 2017 2016 Current income taxes: Federal $ 5,281 $ 518 $ 3,767 State and local 858 3,615 2,439 Foreign 1,935 942 667 Total current income taxes 8,074 5,075 6,873 Deferred income taxes: Federal (210 ) 145,139 (48 ) State and local 998 1,195 (475 ) Total deferred income taxes 788 146,334 (523 ) Income tax expense $ 8,862 $ 151,409 $ 6,350 Reconciliations of income tax expense computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the recognized income tax expense and the U.S. statutory income tax rate to our effective tax rates are as follows: 2018 2017 2016 Expected U.S. federal income taxes at statutory rate $ 6,470 21.0 % $ 56,103 35.0 % $ 9,689 34.0 % State and local income taxes, net of federal benefit 797 2.6 % 2,590 1.6 % 1,461 5.1 % Foreign withholding taxes 1,935 6.3 % 942 0.6 % 667 2.3 % Tax credits (2,151 ) (7.0 )% (1,230 ) (0.8 )% (779 ) (2.7 )% Non-controlling interest (1,908 ) (6.2 )% (3,273 ) (2.0 )% (3,765 ) (13.2 )% Remeasurement of deferred tax assets in connection with the enactment of the TCJA — — % 138,636 86.5 % — — % Remeasurement of deferred tax assets in connection with other tax rate changes 3,794 12.3 % 1,657 1.0 % (1,353 ) (4.7 )% Remeasurement of liabilities under tax receivable agreement in connection with the enactment of the TCJA — — % (44,051 ) (27.4 )% — — % Other (75 ) (0.2 )% 35 — % 430 1.5 % Income tax expense $ 8,862 28.8 % $ 151,409 94.5 % $ 6,350 22.3 % Our effective income tax rates for fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 were 28.8% , 94.5% and 22.3% , respectively. The decrease in our effective income tax rate from fiscal 2017 to fiscal 2018 and the increase from fiscal 2016 to fiscal 2017 were primarily due to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets resulting from the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "TCJA") in fiscal 2017. In December 2017, the TCJA was enacted into law and provided for significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, among other provisions. We calculated our best estimate of the impact of the TCJA based on current interpretations and understanding of the TCJA and recognized an additional $138,636 of income tax expense in fiscal 2017, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"), relating to the remeasurement of our deferred tax assets. During fiscal 2018 the Company finalized its calculations related to the impacts of the TCJA with no adjustment to the Company’s previously recorded provisional tax expense. Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: December 26 December 27 Deferred tax assets: Investment in partnership $ 168,451 $ 137,449 Tax Receivable Agreement 57,203 43,464 Deferred rent 1,109 571 Deferred revenue 184 59 Stock-based compensation 375 322 Net operating loss carryforwards 18,046 12,332 Tax credits 5,194 2,328 Other assets 331 176 Total gross deferred tax assets 250,893 196,701 Valuation allowance (6,925 ) (10,114 ) Total deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance 243,968 186,587 Deferred tax liabilities: Property and equipment (1,435 ) (673 ) Total gross deferred tax liabilities (1,435 ) (673 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 242,533 $ 185,914 As of December 26, 2018 , our federal and state net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes were $68,658 and $60,546 . If not utilized, $16,791 of our federal net operating losses can be carried forward indefinitely, and the remainder will begin to expire in 2035. If not utilized $4,586 of our state net operating loss carryforwards can be carried forward indefinitely, and the remainder will begin to expire in 2027. As described in Note 12, we acquired an aggregate of 2,993,356 LLC Interests during fiscal 2018 through redemptions of LLC Interests and activity under stock-based compensation plans. We recognized a deferred tax asset in the amount of $38,843 associated with the basis difference in our investment in SSE Holdings upon acquiring these LLC Interests. As of December 26, 2018 , the total deferred tax asset related to the basis difference in our investment in SSE Holdings was $168,451 . These were partially offset by reductions in basis due to the utilization of $12,383 of amortization. However, a portion of the total basis difference will only reverse upon the eventual sale of our interest in SSE Holdings, which we expect would result in a capital loss. As of December 26, 2018 , we established a valuation allowance in the amount of $6,192 against the deferred tax asset to which this portion relates. During fiscal 2018 , we also recognized $12,495 of deferred tax assets related to additional tax basis increases generated from expected future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and related deductions for imputed interest on such payments. See "—Tax Receivable Agreement" for more information. We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establish valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. As of December 26, 2018 , we concluded, based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence, that all of our deferred tax assets (except for those deferred tax assets described above relating to basis differences that are expected to result in a capital loss upon the eventual sale of our interest in SSE Holdings) are more likely than not to be realized, except for certain credits we no longer expect to utilize before expiration. As such, a valuation allowance in the amount of $733 was recognized. The net change in valuation allowance for fiscal 2018 was a decrease of $3,189 . Uncertain Tax Positions There were no reserves for uncertain tax positions as of December 26, 2018 and December 27, 2017 . Shake Shack Inc. was formed in September 2014 and did not engage in any operations prior to the IPO and Organizational Transactions. Shake Shack Inc. first filed tax returns for tax year 2014, which is the first tax year subject to examination by taxing authorities for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Additionally, although SSE Holdings is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income taxes purposes, it is still required to file an annual U.S. Return of Partnership Income, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). The statute of limitations has expired for tax years through 2014 for SSE Holdings. Tax Receivable Agreement Pursuant to our election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), we expect to obtain an increase in our share of the tax basis in the net assets of SSE Holdings when LLC Interests are redeemed or exchanged by the non-controlling interest holders and other qualifying transactions. We plan to make an election under Section 754 of Code for each taxable year in which a redemption or exchange of LLC Interest occurs. We intend to treat any redemptions and exchanges of LLC Interests by the non-controlling interest holders as direct purchases of LLC Interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that we would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets. On February 4, 2015, we entered into a tax receivable agreement with the then-existing non-controlling interest holders (the "Tax Receivable Agreement") that provides for the payment by us to the non-controlling interest holders of 85% of the amount of any tax benefits that we actually realize, or in some cases are deemed to realize, as a result of (i) increases in our share of the tax basis in the net assets of SSE Holdings resulting from any redemptions or exchanges of LLC Interests, (ii) tax basis increases attributable to payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and (iii) deductions attributable to imputed interest pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement (the "TRA Payments"). We expect to benefit from the remaining 15% of any tax benefits that we may actually realize. The TRA Payments are not conditioned upon any continued ownership interest in SSE Holdings or us. The rights of each non-controlling interest holder under the Tax Receivable Agreement are assignable to transferees of its LLC Interests. During fiscal 2018 , we acquired an aggregate of 2,692,660 LLC Interests in connection with the redemption of LLC Interests, which resulted in an increase in the tax basis of our investment in SSE Holdings subject to the provisions of the Tax Receivable Agreement. We recognized an additional liability in the amount of $44,338 for the TRA Payments due to the redeeming members, representing 85% of the aggregate tax benefits we expect to realize from the tax basis increases related to the redemption of LLC Interests, after concluding it was probable that such TRA Payments would be paid based on our estimates of future taxable income. No payments were made to members of SSE Holdings pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement during fiscal 2018 . As of December 26, 2018 , the total amount of TRA Payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement was $203,725 , of which $5,804 was included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 18 for more information relating to our liabilities under the Tax Receivable Agreement. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
EARNINGS PER SHARE | EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock for fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 . 2018 2017 2016 Numerator: Net income $ 21,948 $ 8,884 $ 22,146 Less: net income attributable to non-controlling interests 6,769 9,204 9,700 Net income (loss) attributable to Shake Shack Inc. $ 15,179 $ (320 ) $ 12,446 Denominator: Weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding—basic 28,299 25,876 22,956 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options 798 — 491 Performance stock units 63 — 2 Restricted stock units 19 — — Weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding—diluted 29,179 25,876 23,449 Earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock—basic $ 0.54 $ (0.01 ) $ 0.54 Earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock—diluted $ 0.52 $ (0.01 ) $ 0.53 Shares of our Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses of Shake Shack and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented. The following table presents potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock for fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 . 2018 2017 2016 Stock options — 1,719,341 (2) 125 (1) Performance stock units 21,560 (3) 124,842 (2) 26,860 (3) Restricted stock units — 44,476 (2) — Shares of Class B common stock 7,557,347 (4) 10,250,007 (4) 11,253,592 (4) (1) Weighted-average number of securities excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock because the exercise price of the stock options exceeded the average market price of our Class A common stock during the period ("out-of-the-money"). (2) Represents number of instruments outstanding at the end of the period that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. (3) Weighted-average number of securities excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock because the performance conditions were not met for a portion of the fiscal year. (4) Shares of our Class B common stock are considered potentially dilutive shares of Class A common stock.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Lease Commitments We are obligated under various operating leases for Shacks and our Home Office space, expiring in various years through 2035 . Under certain of these leases, we are liable for contingent rent based on a percentage of sales in excess of specified thresholds and are responsible for our proportionate share of real estate taxes, common area maintenance charges and utilities. See Note 10 , Leases. As security under the terms of one of our leases, we are obligated under a letter of credit totaling $130 as of December 26, 2018 , which expires on February 28, 2026 . In addition, we entered into two irrevocable standby letters of credit: (i) in December 2013, we entered into a letter of credit in conjunction with our previous Home Office lease in the amount of $80 , which expires in September 2019 and (ii) in September 2017, we entered into a letter of credit in conjunction with our new Home Office lease in the amount of $603 , which expires in August 2019 and renews automatically for one-year periods through January 31, 2034 . Purchase Commitments Purchase obligations include legally binding contracts, including commitments for the purchase, construction or remodeling of real estate and facilities, firm minimum commitments for inventory purchases, equipment purchases, marketing-related contracts, software acquisition/license commitments and service contracts. These obligations are generally short-term in nature and are recorded as liabilities when the related goods are received or services rendered. We also enter into long-term, exclusive contracts with certain vendors to supply us with food, beverages and paper goods, obligating us to purchase specified quantities. These volume commitments are generally not subject to any time limit and there are no material financial penalties associated with these agreements in the event of early termination. Legal Contingencies In February 2018, a claim was filed against Shake Shack in California state court alleging certain violations of the California Labor Code. At a mediation between the parties, we agreed to settle the matter with the plaintiff and all other California employees who elect to participate in the settlement for $1,200 . As of December 26, 2018 , an accrual in the amount of $1,200 was recorded for this matter and related expenses. We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims and liabilities, such as employment-related claims and slip and fall cases, which arise in the ordinary course of business and are generally covered by insurance. As of December 26, 2018 , the amount of the ultimate liability with respect to these matters was not material. Liabilities under Tax Receivable Agreement As described in Note 15, we are a party to the Tax Receivable Agreement under which we are contractually committed to pay the non-controlling interest holders 85% of the amount of any tax benefits that we actually realize, or in some cases are deemed to realize, as a result of certain transactions. We are not obligated to make any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement until the tax benefits associated the transaction that gave rise to the payment are realized. Amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement are contingent upon, among other things, (i) generation of future taxable income over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement and (ii) future changes in tax laws. If we do not generate sufficient taxable income in the aggregate over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement to utilize the tax benefits, then we would not be required to make the related TRA Payments. As of December 26, 2018 , we recognized $203,725 of liabilities relating to our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, after concluding that it was probable that we would have sufficient future taxable income to utilize the related tax benefits. There were no transactions subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement for which we did not recognize the related liability, as we concluded that we would have sufficient future taxable income to utilize all of the related tax benefits generated by all transactions that occurred in fiscal 2018 . |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 26, 2018 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation. SSE Holdings is considered a variable interest entity. Shake Shack Inc. is the primary beneficiary as we have the majority economic interest in SSE Holdings and, as the sole managing member, have decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity, while the limited partners have no substantive kick-out or participating rights. As a result, we will continue to consolidate SSE Holdings. The assets and liabilities of SSE Holdings represent substantially all of our consolidated assets and liabilities with the exception of certain deferred taxes and liabilities under the Tax Receivable Agreement. As of December 26, 2018 and December 27, 2017 , the net assets of SSE Holdings were $232,711 and $197,301 , respectively. The assets of SSE Holdings are subject to certain restrictions in SSE Holdings' revolving credit agreements. See Note 9 for more information. |
Fiscal Year | Fiscal Year We operate on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the last Wednesday in December. Fiscal year 2018 contained 52 weeks and ended on December 26, 2018 . Fiscal year 2017 contained 52 weeks and ended on December 27, 2017 . Fiscal year 2016 contained 52 weeks and ended on December 28, 2016 . Unless otherwise stated, references to years in this report relate to fiscal years. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting We own and operate Shacks in the United States. We also have domestic and international licensed operations. Our chief operating decision maker (the "CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer. As the CODM reviews financial performance and allocates resources at a consolidated level on a recurring basis, we have one operating segment and one reportable segment. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements We apply fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, we assume the highest and best use of the asset by market participants in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and credit risk. Assets and liabilities are classified using a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels, and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: ▪ Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities ▪ Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities ▪ Level 3 - Inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements reflecting an entity's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on hand, deposits with banks, and short-term, highly liquid investments that have original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from landlords for tenant improvement allowances, receivables from our licensees for licensing revenue and related reimbursements, credit card receivables and vendor rebates. We evaluate the collectibility of our accounts receivable based on a variety of factors, including historical experience, current economic conditions and other factors. |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories, which consist of food, beer, wine, other beverages and retail merchandise, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. No adjustment is deemed necessary to reduce inventory to net realizable value due to the rapid turnover and high utilization of inventory. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment is depreciated based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally ranging from three to seven years for equipment, furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment and software. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful life or the related lease life, generally ranging from 10 to 15 years. Landlord funded assets are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful life or the related lease life, generally ranging from 10 to 15 years. For leases with renewal periods at our option, we use the original lease term, excluding renewal option periods, to determine estimated useful lives. Costs incurred when constructing Shacks are capitalized. The cost of repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Costs for refurbishments and improvements that significantly increase the productive capacity or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. When assets are disposed of, the resulting gain or loss is recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). We assess potential impairments to our long-lived assets, which includes property and equipment, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. |
Deferred Financing Costs | Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt and establishing credit facilities are capitalized and amortized to interest expense based on the related debt agreements. Deferred financing costs are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
Other Assets | Other Assets Other assets consist primarily of capitalized implementation costs from cloud computing arrangements, long-term marketable securities, security deposits, transferable liquor licenses and certain custom furniture pre-ordered for future Shacks and yet to be placed in service. The costs of obtaining non-transferable liquor licenses that are directly issued by local government agencies for nominal fees are expensed as incurred. The costs of purchasing transferable liquor licenses through open markets in jurisdictions with a limited number of authorized liquor licenses are capitalized as indefinite-lived intangible assets. Annual liquor license renewal fees are expensed over the renewal term. As of December 26, 2018 and December 27, 2017 , indefinite-lived intangible assets relating to transferable liquor licenses totaled $1,159 and $894 , respectively. We evaluate our indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during our fiscal fourth quarter, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. When evaluating other intangible assets for impairment, we may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an intangible asset group is impaired. If we do not perform the qualitative assessment, or if we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible asset group exceeds its carrying amount, we calculate the estimated fair value of the intangible asset group. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset group exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the estimated fair value. In addition, we continuously monitor and may revise our intangible asset useful lives if and when facts and circumstances change. |
Equity-based Compensation | Equity-based Compensation Equity-based compensation expense is measured based on fair value. For awards with graded-vesting features and service conditions only, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award. For awards with graded-vesting features and a combination of service and performance conditions, compensation expense is recognized using a graded-vesting attribution method over the vesting period based on the most probable outcome of the performance conditions. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur for all equity awards. Equity-based compensation expense is included within general and administrative expenses and labor and related expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) . |
Leases | Leases We lease all of our domestic company-operated Shacks, our Home Office and certain equipment under various non-cancelable lease agreements that expire on various dates through 2035. Generally, our real estate leases have initial terms ranging from 10 to 15 years and typically include two five -year renewal options. At the inception of each lease, we determine its classification as an operating or capital lease. Most of our leases are classified as operating leases and typically provide for fixed minimum rent payments and/or contingent rent payments based upon sales in excess of specified thresholds. When the achievement of such sales thresholds are deemed to be probable, contingent rent is accrued in proportion to the sales recognized during the period. For operating leases that include rent holidays and rent escalation clauses, we recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term from the date we take possession of the leased property. The difference between the straight-line rent amounts and amounts payable under the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent and is included as rent expense in occupancy and related expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) . Rent expense incurred before a Shack opens is recorded in pre-opening costs. Once a domestic company-operated Shack opens, we record the straight-line rent expense and any contingent rent, if applicable, in occupancy and related expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) . Many of our leases also require us to pay real estate taxes, common area maintenance costs and other occupancy costs which are included in occupancy and related expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) . We expend cash for leasehold improvements to build out and equip our leased premises. Generally, a portion of the leasehold improvements and building costs are reimbursed by our landlords as landlord incentives pursuant to agreed-upon terms in our lease agreements. If obtained, landlord incentives usually take the form of up-front cash, full or partial credits against our future minimum or contingent rents otherwise payable by us, or a combination thereof. When contractually due, we classify landlord incentives as deferred rent on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortize the landlord incentives on a straight-line basis over the lease term as a reduction of occupancy costs and related expenses or pre-opening costs on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) . Lease Financing Arrangements In certain leasing arrangements, due to our involvement in the construction of the leased assets, we are considered the owner of the leased assets for accounting purposes. In such cases, in addition to capitalizing our own construction costs, we capitalize the construction costs funded by the landlord related to our leased premises, and also recognize a corresponding liability for those costs as deemed landlord financing. If, upon completion of construction, the arrangement does not meet the sales recognition criteria under the sale-leaseback accounting guidance, we are precluded from de-recognizing the landlord-funded asset and related financing obligation and continue to account for the landlord-funded asset as if we were the legal owner. If de-recognition is permitted we are required to account for the lease as either an operating or capital lease. As of December 26, 2018 , we were deemed to be the accounting owner of 24 leased Shacks, one of which was under construction as of the end of the period. As of December 27, 2017 , we were deemed to be the accounting owner of 23 leased Shacks, 11 of which were under construction as of the end of the period. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes We account for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities related to the expected future tax consequences arising from temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Any effects of changes in income tax rates or laws are included in income tax expense in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is recognized if we determine it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be recognized. |
Pre-Opening Costs | Pre-Opening Costs Pre-opening costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of legal fees, marketing expenses, occupancy, manager and employee wages, travel and related training costs incurred prior to the opening of a Shack. |
Advertising | Advertising The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements We adopted the Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) summarized below in fiscal 2018. Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Description Date Adopted Revenue from Contracts with Customers and related standards (ASU’s 2014-09, 2015-14, 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-12, 2016-20) This standard supersedes the existing revenue recognition guidance and provides a new framework for recognizing revenue. The core principle of the standard is that 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 and services. The new standard also requires significantly more comprehensive disclosures than the existing standard. Guidance subsequent to ASU 2014-09 has been issued to clarify various provisions in the standard, including principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations, licensing transactions, as well as various technical corrections and improvements. See Note 3 for more information. December 28, 2017 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01) For public business entities, this standard requires: (i) certain equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (ii) a qualitative assessment to identify impairment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values; (iii) elimination of the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (iv) use of the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (v) separate presentation in other comprehensive income of the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; (vi) separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset in the financial statements; and (vii) an entity to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. December 28, 2017 Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Payments (ASU 2016-15) This standard provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. December 28, 2017 Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (ASU 2018-15) This standard provides additional guidance on accounting for costs of implementation activities performed in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs of such arrangements with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard also clarifies the presentation and classification of the capitalized costs, amortization expense, and the associated treatment in the statement of cash flows by aligning these items with the same treatment for costs of the hosting service itself. We adopted this standard on a prospective basis on September 27, 2018, and began capitalizing certain costs related to the implementation of an enterprise-wide system initiative that previously would have been expensed. As of December 26, 2018, we have capitalized certain implementation costs within other assets. We will begin amortizing the implementation costs once the system is ready for its intended use, on a straight-line basis, over the term of the related service agreements. The amortization expense related to cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts will be recorded within general and administrative expenses. September 27, 2018 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Description Expected Impact Effective Date Leases (ASU's 2016-02, 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11) This standard establishes a new lease accounting model, which introduces the recognition of lease assets and liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. It should be applied using a modified retrospective approach applied either at the beginning of the earliest period presented, or at the adoption date, with the option to elect various practical expedients. Early adoption is permitted. We will adopt the standard on December 27, 2018, electing the optional transition method to apply the standard as of the transition date. As a result, we will not apply the standard to the comparative periods presented. We have elected the transition package of three practical expedients permitted under the new standard, which among other things, allows us to carryforward our historical lease classifications. We also made certain accounting policy elections for new leases post-transition, including the election to combine components. The adoption will have a significant impact to our consolidated balance sheet given the extent of our real estate lease portfolio. We will derecognize all landlord funded assets, deemed financing liabilities and deferred rent liabilities upon transition. We will record a right-of-use asset and lease liability for those leases as well as all other existing leases, the majority of which are real estate operating leases. We expect the adoption to result in a net increase of between $207,000 to $217,000 in lease assets and $202,000 to $212,000 in lease liabilities. The difference between the additional lease assets and lease liabilities, net of tax, will be recorded as an adjustment through equity. Our existing operating leases will not have a material impact on our statement of income post-transition. For those leases where we are involved in construction and deemed to be the accounting owner, they will be accounted for as operating leases post-transition, resulting in an increase to occupancy and related expenses, and a decrease to interest and depreciation expense. We are substantially complete with our implementation efforts. December 27, 2018 |
