Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Basis of Presentation Wingstop Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “Wingstop” or the “Company”), is in the business of franchising and operating Wingstop restaurants. As of March 30, 2019 , 1,112 franchised restaurants were in operation domestically, and 132 franchised restaurants were in operation internationally. As of March 30, 2019 , the Company owned and operated 29 restaurants. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Consequently, financial information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared annually in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. Balance sheet amounts are as of March 30, 2019 and December 29, 2018 and operating results are for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 . In the Company’s opinion, all necessary adjustments have been made for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018 . The Company uses a 52/53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday of the calendar year. Fiscal years 2019 and 2018 have 52 weeks. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as of March 30, 2019 and December 29, 2018 were as follows (in thousands): March 30, 2019 December 29, 2018 Cash and cash equivalents $ 13,625 $ 12,493 Restricted cash 4,824 4,462 Restricted cash, included in Advertising fund assets, restricted 8,202 3,985 Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash $ 26,651 $ 20,940 Advertising Fund The Company administers the Wingstop Restaurants Advertising Fund (“Ad Fund”), for which a percentage of gross sales is collected from Wingstop restaurant franchisees and company-owned restaurants to be used for various forms of advertising for the Wingstop brand. Beginning in fiscal year 2019 the Ad Fund contribution collected from domestic Wingstop restaurant franchisees and company-owned restaurants increased from 3% to 4% of gross sales. The Company consolidates and reports all assets and liabilities of the Ad Fund as restricted assets and restricted liabilities of the Ad Fund within current assets and current liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Ad Fund contributions and expenditures are reported on a gross basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, which are largely offsetting and therefore do not impact our reported net income. Company-operated restaurants’ Ad Fund contributions, which were equal to 4% of gross sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2019 and 3% of gross sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2018 , are included in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures about leases. The Company adopted the requirements of the new standard as of the first day of fiscal year 2019 using the modified retrospective approach without restating comparative periods. As part of our adoption, we elected the package of practical expedients, as well as the hindsight practical expedient, permitted under the new guidance, which, among other things, allowed the Company to continue utilizing historical classification of leases. In addition, we elected not to separate non-lease components for our real estate leases. The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of a right-of-use asset of approximately $8.5 million and lease liabilities of approximately $10.3 million , and had an immaterial impact to retained earnings as of the beginning of fiscal year 2019. The standard did not materially impact our Consolidated Statements of Operations and had no impact on cash flows. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share [Text Block] | Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities convertible into or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculation of diluted earnings per share, the basic weighted average number of shares is increased by the dilutive effect of the exercise and vesting of stock options and restricted stock units, respectively, determined using the treasury stock method. Basic weighted average shares outstanding is reconciled to diluted weighted average shares outstanding as follows (in thousands): Thirteen Weeks Ended March 30, March 31, Basic weighted average shares outstanding 29,337 29,116 Dilutive shares 300 387 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 29,637 29,503 For the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 , equity awards representing approximately 40,000 and 57,000 shares, respectively, were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. Assets and liabilities are classified using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows: Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs corroborated by market data. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s estimates and assumptions. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Fair value of debt is determined on a non-recurring basis, which results are summarized as follows (in thousands): Fair Value Hierarchy March 30, 2019 December 29, 2018 Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Securitized Financing Facility: 2018-1 Class A-2 Senior Secured Notes (1) Level 2 $ 320,000 $ 328,474 $ 320,000 $ 320,000 (1) The fair value of long-term debt was estimated using available market information. The Company also measures certain non-financial assets (primarily long-lived assets, intangible assets, and goodwill) at fair value on a non-recurring basis in connection with its periodic evaluations of such assets for potential impairment. |

Debt Obligations | Debt Obligations On November 14, 2018, Wingstop Funding LLC (the “Issuer”), a limited-purpose, bankruptcy-remote, wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Wingstop Inc., issued $320 million of its Series 2018-1 4.970% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2 (the “Class A-2 Notes”). Interest and principal are payable on a quarterly basis and the Class A-2 Notes have an anticipated repayment date of December 2023. In addition, the Issuer issued Series 2018-1 Variable Funding Senior Notes, Class A-1 (the “Variable Funding Notes”), which permit borrowings of up to a maximum principal amount of $20 million , which may be used to issue letters of credit. As of March 30, 2019 , $5.0 million of letters of credit were outstanding against the Variable Funding Notes, which relate primarily to interest reserves required under the base indenture and related supplemental indenture. There were no amounts drawn down on the letter of credit as of March 30, 2019 or December 29, 2018 . The Class A-2 Notes and the Variable Funding Notes are referred to collectively as the “Notes” and were issued in a securitization transaction pursuant to which certain of the Company’s domestic and foreign revenue-generating assets, consisting principally of franchise-related agreements and intellectual property, were contributed or otherwise transferred to the Issuer and certain other limited-purpose, bankruptcy-remote, wholly owned indirect subsidiaries of the Company that act as guarantors of the Notes and that have pledged substantially all of their assets as collateral securing the Notes. The Notes are subject to a series of financial and non-financial covenants and restrictions. As of March 30, 2019 , the Company was in compliance with all such financial covenants. As of March 30, 2019 , the scheduled principal payments on debt were as follows (in thousands): Remainder of fiscal year 2019 $ 2,400 Fiscal year 2020 3,200 Fiscal year 2021 3,200 Fiscal year 2022 3,200 Fiscal year 2023 308,000 Total $ 320,000 |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases of Lessee Disclosure | Leases The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has operating leases for office and retail space, as well as equipment. Our leases have remaining terms of one year to eight years, some of which include options to extend the lease term for up to ten years. Lease terms may include options to renew when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We have lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components. For real estate leases, we account for lease components together with non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance). Components of lease expense are as follows (in thousands): Thirteen Weeks Ended March 30, Operating lease cost (a) $ 502 Variable lease cost (b) 125 Total lease cost $ 627 (a) Includes short-term leases, which are immaterial.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). The Company recognized $0.8 million in stock-based compensation expense for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2019 , with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital. Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Stock Options The following table summarizes stock option activity (in thousands, except term and per share data): Stock Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Weighted Average Remaining Term Outstanding - December 29, 2018 236 $ 6.04 $ 13,848 4.8 Options granted — — Options exercised (54 ) 2.92 Options canceled (1 ) 40.98 Outstanding - March 30, 2019 181 $ 6.43 $ 12,526 4.7 The total grant-date fair value of stock options vested during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2019 was $0.2 million . The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2019 was $3.5 million . As of March 30, 2019 , total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options was $0.1 million , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years. Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units The following table summarizes activity related to restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) (in thousands, except per share data): Restricted Stock Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Performance Stock Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding - December 29, 2018 103 $ 36.18 130 $ 40.46 Units granted 43 65.86 44 65.86 Units vested (40 ) 34.02 (21 ) 36.10 Units canceled (10 ) 35.68 (8 ) 35.21 Outstanding - March 30, 2019 96 $ 51.05 145 $ 49.46 The fair value of the Company’s RSUs and PSUs is based on the closing market price of the stock on the date of grant. The RSUs granted during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2019 vest over a three-year service period. As of March 30, 2019 , total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs was $4.7 million , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. The PSUs vest based on the outcome of certain performance criteria. For the PSUs granted during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2019 , the amount of units that can be earned range from 0% to 100% of the number of PSUs granted based on a service condition and a performance vesting condition based on the achievement of certain adjusted EBITDA targets, as defined by the plan, over a performance period of one to three years. The compensation expense related to these PSUs is recognized over the vesting period when the achievement of the performance conditions becomes probable. The total compensation cost for the PSUs is determined based on the most likely outcome of the performance condition and the number of awards expected to vest.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Business Segments | Business Segments The Company’s business operates in two segments: the “Franchise” segment and the “Company” segment. The Franchise segment consists of domestic and international franchise restaurants, which represent the majority of our system-wide restaurants. As of March 30, 2019 , the Franchise segment consisted of 1,244 restaurants operated by Wingstop franchisees in the United States and international markets, compared to 1,133 franchised restaurants in operation as of March 31, 2018 . Franchise segment revenue consists primarily of franchise royalty revenue, advertising fee revenue, franchise and development fees revenue, and international territory fees. As of March 30, 2019 , the Company segment consisted of 29 company-owned restaurants located in the United States, compared to 24 company-owned restaurants as of March 31, 2018 . Company segment revenue is comprised of food and beverage sales at company-owned restaurants. Company segment expenses consist of operating expenses at company-owned restaurants and include food, beverage, labor, benefits, utilities, rent, and other operating costs. The following table reflects revenue and profit information with respect to each segment and reconciles segment profits to income before taxes (in thousands): Thirteen Weeks Ended March 30, March 31, Revenue: Franchise segment $ 34,538 $ 26,386 Company segment 13,515 11,003 Total segment revenue $ 48,053 $ 37,389 Segment Profit: Franchise segment $ 9,255 $ 8,387 Company segment 2,516 2,641 Total segment profit 11,771 11,028 Corporate and other (1) — 1,462 Interest expense, net 4,410 1,736 Income before taxes $ 7,361 $ 7,830 (1) Corporate and other includes corporate related items not allocated to reportable segments and consists primarily of transaction costs associated with the refinancings of our credit agreement and payment of a special dividend. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block] | Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue from contracts with customers consists primarily of royalties, Ad Fund contributions, initial and renewal franchise fees, and upfront fees from development agreements and international territory agreements. The performance obligations under franchise agreements consist of (a) a franchise license, (b) pre-opening services, such as training, and (c) ongoing services, such as management of the Ad Fund, development of training materials and menu items, and restaurant monitoring. These performance obligations are highly interrelated, so they are not considered to be individually distinct and therefore are accounted for as a single performance obligation, which is satisfied by providing a right to use our intellectual property over the term of each franchise agreement. Royalties and franchisee contributions to the Ad Fund, are calculated as a percentage of franchise restaurant sales over the term of the franchise agreement. Initial and renewal franchise fees are payable by the franchisee prior to the restaurant opening or at the time of a renewal of an existing franchise agreement. Franchise agreement royalties and Ad Fund contributions, represent sales-based royalties that are related entirely to the performance obligation under the franchise agreement and are recognized as franchise sales occur. Additionally, initial and renewal franchise fees are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective agreement. The performance obligation under development agreements and international territory agreements generally consists of an obligation to grant exclusive development rights over a stated term. These development rights are not distinct from franchise agreements, so upfront fees paid by franchisees for development rights are deferred and apportioned to each franchise restaurant opened by the franchisee. The pro rata amount apportioned to each restaurant is accounted for as an initial franchise fee. The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 (in thousands): Thirteen Weeks Ended March 30, 2019 March 31, 2018 Royalty revenue $ 17,907 $ 15,386 Advertising fees and related income 13,210 8,605 Franchise fees 1,582 685 Franchise fee, development fee, and international territory fee payments received by the Company are recorded as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which represents a contract liability. Deferred revenue is reduced as fees are recognized in revenue over the term of the franchise license for the respective restaurant. As the term of the franchise license is typically ten years, substantially all of the franchise fee revenue recognized in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2019 was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 29, 2018 . Approximately $8.0 million and $9.2 million of deferred revenue as of March 30, 2019 and December 29, 2018 , respectively, relates to restaurants that have not yet opened, so the fees are not yet being amortized. The weighted average remaining amortization period for deferred franchise and renewal fees related to open restaurants is 7.4 years . The Company does not have any material contract assets as of March 30, 2019 . |

Advertising Fund | Advertising Fund The Company administers the Wingstop Restaurants Advertising Fund (“Ad Fund”), for which a percentage of gross sales is collected from Wingstop restaurant franchisees and company-owned restaurants to be used for various forms of advertising for the Wingstop brand. Beginning in fiscal year 2019 the Ad Fund contribution collected from domestic Wingstop restaurant franchisees and company-owned restaurants increased from 3% to 4% of gross sales. The Company consolidates and reports all assets and liabilities of the Ad Fund as restricted assets and restricted liabilities of the Ad Fund within current assets and current liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Ad Fund contributions and expenditures are reported on a gross basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, which are largely offsetting and therefore do not impact our reported net income. Company-operated restaurants’ Ad Fund contributions, which were equal to 4% of gross sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2019 and 3% of gross sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2018 , are included in cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures about leases. The Company adopted the requirements of the new standard as of the first day of fiscal year 2019 using the modified retrospective approach without restating comparative periods. As part of our adoption, we elected the package of practical expedients, as well as the hindsight practical expedient, permitted under the new guidance, which, among other things, allowed the Company to continue utilizing historical classification of leases. In addition, we elected not to separate non-lease components for our real estate leases. The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of a right-of-use asset of approximately $8.5 million and lease liabilities of approximately $10.3 million , and had an immaterial impact to retained earnings as of the beginning of fiscal year 2019. The standard did not materially impact our Consolidated Statements of Operations and had no impact on cash flows. |
