Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature of Operations [Text Block] | 1. Nature of Business Business Landcadia Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated in Delaware on November 19, 2008 as Leucadia Development Corporation, and changed its name to Landcadia Holdings, Inc. on September 15, 2015. The Company is an emerging growth company as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act and, as such, is subject to all the risks associated with emerging growth companies. The Company has not had any significant operations to date. The Company is a blank-check company formed to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination (the “Business Combination”) with one or more operating businesses. All activity for the year ended December 31, 2017 relates to the Company’s ongoing business expenses and costs associated with locating a suitable Business Combination. There is no assurance that its plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the target business acquisition period, as described herein. Sponsors The Company’s Sponsors are Fertitta Entertainment, Inc., a Texas corporation, (“FEI Sponsor”) and Leucadia National Corporation, a New York corporation, (“Leucadia Sponsor”, and together with FEI Sponsor, the “Sponsors”). The FEI Sponsor is wholly owned by Tilman J. Fertitta, the Company’s Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Financing The registration statement for the Company’s public offering was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 25, 2016. The Company intends to finance its Business Combination in part with proceeds from the $ 250,000,000 7,000,000 250,000,000 Trust Account Funds held in the Trust Account can only be invested in permitted United States ‘‘government securities’’ within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. The Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay income taxes, if any, none of the funds held in trust will be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; or (ii) the redemption of any shares of Class A common stock (“public shares”) included in the units sold in the public offering properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the public offering; or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the public shares if the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the public offering. Initial Business Combination The initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account, excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned by the Trust Account, at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to commencement of the tender offer, including interest but less taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely at its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete the Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $ 5,000,001 Notwithstanding the foregoing redemption rights, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of the Business Combination and it conducts redemptions in connection with the Business Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the public offering. If the Company holds a stockholder vote in connection with the Business Combination, a public stockholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable. As a result, such public shares are recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity following completion of the public offering (“Redeemable Shares”), in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB, ASC’) 480, ‘‘Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.’’ The amount in the Trust Account was initially $10.00 per public share ($250,000,000 held in the Trust Account divided by 25,000,000 public shares). For further information regarding the Redeemable Shares, see Note 3. Pursuant to the letter agreements reference above, the Initial Stockholders also agreed that, if the Company submits the Business Combination to the Company’s public stockholders for a vote, the Initial Stockholders will vote their founder shares and any public shares purchased during or after the public offering in favor of the Business Combination. Fiscal Year End The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. |
Summary of Significant Accounti
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 12 Months Ended |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Use of Estimates The preparation of these financial statements 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Emerging Growth Company Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. The Company has until June 1, 2018 to complete our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination by June 1, 2018 we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and board of directors, dissolve and liquida In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per unit in the Public Offering. In addition if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination by June 1, 2018, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless. We are actively pursuing targets to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase reorganization or similar business combination which will increase costs as we approach our June 1, 2018 deadline. On December 31, 2017 the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were $ 571,748 If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. Consequently, our public stockholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share on our liquidation of our public shares, and our warrants will expire worthless No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be unable to continue operations. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash consists of proceeds from the public offering and private placement held outside of the Trust Account and may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence for the Business Combination and continuing general and administrative expenses. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts with a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $ 250,000 Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet. Offering Costs The Company complies with the requirements of the FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A- “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs of approximately $ 654,840 13,750,000 Loss per Common Share Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All shares of Class F common stock are assumed to convert to shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. Consistent with ASC 480, shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, as well as their pro rata share of undistributed trust earnings consistent with the two-class method, have been excluded from the calculation of loss per common share for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. Such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of trust earnings, see Note 3. Diluted loss per common share is calculated by including any incremental shares of common stock to be issued in connection with the conversion of Class F common stock or to settle warrants, as calculated using the treasury stock method. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not have any dilutive warrants, securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for all periods presented. Further, in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”, the earnings per share calculation reflects the effect of the stock splits as discussed in Note 3, for all periods presented. See Note 6 for further information. Income Taxes The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB ASC, 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law resulting in a reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for years beginning in 2018. The enactment of the Tax Act also requires companies to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities and the retroactive effects of changes in tax laws in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. See Note 7 for further information. We have evaluated subsequent events to determine if events or transactions occurring through March 7, 2018, the date the financial statements were issued, require potential adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. The Company has concluded that all such events have been recognized or disclosed in the financial statements. On January 2, 2018, the Company received a letter (the “Notification Letter”) from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) for continued listing due to its failure to hold an annual meeting of stockholders within twelve months of the end of the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. On February 12, 2018, we submitted our plan to regain compliance pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq listing rules. On February 23, 2018, Nasdaq granted us an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the fiscal year end, or until June 29, 2018, to regain compliance. In the event we do not satisfy the terms of the extension, Nasdaq will notify us that our securities will be delisted. At that time, we will have the opportunity to appeal the determination to a Hearings Panel. If we timely appeal, our securities would remain listed pending such decision. There can be no assurance that, if we do appeal, such appeal would be successful. |

Summary of Significant Accoun16
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2017 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates The preparation of these financial statements 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Emerging Growth Company, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Emerging Growth Company Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. |
Going Concern Consideration [Policy Text Block] | Going Concern Consideration The Company has until June 1, 2018 to complete our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination by June 1, 2018 we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and board of directors, dissolve and liquida In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per unit in the Public Offering. In addition if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination by June 1, 2018, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless. We are actively pursuing targets to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase reorganization or similar business combination which will increase costs as we approach our June 1, 2018 deadline. On December 31, 2017 the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were $ 571,748 If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. Consequently, our public stockholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share on our liquidation of our public shares, and our warrants will expire worthless No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be unable to continue operations. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash consists of proceeds from the public offering and private placement held outside of the Trust Account and may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence for the Business Combination and continuing general and administrative expenses. |
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts with a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $ 250,000 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet. |
Offering Costs [Policy Text Block] | Offering Costs The Company complies with the requirements of the FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A- “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs of approximately $ 654,840 13,750,000 |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Loss per Common Share Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All shares of Class F common stock are assumed to convert to shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. Consistent with ASC 480, shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, as well as their pro rata share of undistributed trust earnings consistent with the two-class method, have been excluded from the calculation of loss per common share for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. Such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of trust earnings, see Note 3. Diluted loss per common share is calculated by including any incremental shares of common stock to be issued in connection with the conversion of Class F common stock or to settle warrants, as calculated using the treasury stock method. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not have any dilutive warrants, securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for all periods presented. Further, in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”, the earnings per share calculation reflects the effect of the stock splits as discussed in Note 3, for all periods presented. See Note 6 for further information. |
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Income Taxes The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB ASC, 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law resulting in a reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for years beginning in 2018. The enactment of the Tax Act also requires companies to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities and the retroactive effects of changes in tax laws in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. See Note 7 for further information. |
Subsequent Events, Policy [Policy Text Block] | We have evaluated subsequent events to determine if events or transactions occurring through March 7, 2018, the date the financial statements were issued, require potential adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. The Company has concluded that all such events have been recognized or disclosed in the financial statements. On January 2, 2018, the Company received a letter (the “Notification Letter”) from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) for continued listing due to its failure to hold an annual meeting of stockholders within twelve months of the end of the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. On February 12, 2018, we submitted our plan to regain compliance pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq listing rules. On February 23, 2018, Nasdaq granted us an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the fiscal year end, or until June 29, 2018, to regain compliance. In the event we do not satisfy the terms of the extension, Nasdaq will notify us that our securities will be delisted. At that time, we will have the opportunity to appeal the determination to a Hearings Panel. If we timely appeal, our securities would remain listed pending such decision. There can be no assurance that, if we do appeal, such appeal would be successful. |
