Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization | 1. Organization Waitr Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Waitr,” “we,” “us” and “our”), operates an online food ordering and delivery platform, powered by its team of delivery drivers. Waitr’s business model is the three-sided marketplace (restaurants, drivers and diners), enabled by its purpose-built platform. On January 17, 2019, Waitr acquired BiteSquad.com, LLC (“Bite Squad”), an online food ordering and delivery platform, which also operates a three-sided marketplace. The Company connects diners and restaurants via Waitr’s website and mobile application (the “Waitr Platform”) and Bite Squad’s website and mobile application (the “Bite Squad Platform” and together with the Waitr Platform, the “Platforms”). The Company’s Platforms allow consumers to browse local restaurants and menus, track order and delivery status, and securely store previous orders and payment information for ease of use and convenience. Restaurants benefit from the online Platforms through increased exposure to consumers for expanded business in the delivery market and carryout sales. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as they apply to interim financial information. Accordingly, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make information not misleading. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the Company’s opinion, include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. Reclassification Certain prior period amounts included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. The Company has revised the classification of certain employee-related wages and payroll taxes associated with such wages for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 to better align the statement of operations line items with departmental responsibilities and management of operations. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s reported total costs and expenses, loss from operations, net loss or loss per share for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2018. The table below summarizes the financial statement line items impacted by these reclassifications (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 As Previously Reported Reclassification As Reclassified As Previously Reported Reclassification As Reclassified Operations and support expenses $ 11,934 $ 2,088 $ 14,022 $ 30,348 $ 4,708 $ 35,056 Sales and marketing expenses 3,850 97 3,947 8,989 127 9,116 General and administrative expenses 8,469 (2,157 ) 6,312 22,426 (4,759 ) 17,667 Related party expenses 28 (28 ) — 76 (76 ) — Certain prior period amounts included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Restaurant Food Liability All transactions processed through the Bite Squad Platform and certain transactions processed through the Waitr Platform result in the Company receiving all of the transaction proceeds. The Company records as a restaurant food liability the net balance owed to the restaurant, after deducting the commissions and other fees charged to the restaurant. The Company remits payments to the restaurants twice a month, generally on the 1 st th Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and judgments relied upon in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements affect the following items: determination of the nature and timing of satisfaction of revenue-generating performance obligations and the standalone selling price of performance obligations, variable consideration, other obligations such as product returns and refunds, allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for chargebacks, incurred loss estimates under our insurance policies with large deductibles or retention levels, income taxes, useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, equity compensation, contingencies, goodwill and other intangible assets, impairments and fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of a business combination. The Company regularly assesses these estimates and records changes to estimates in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ from those estimates. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Except as set forth below, there has been no material change to our critical accounting policies and estimates described in the 2018 Form 10-K. Revenue The Company generates revenue (“transaction fees”) primarily when diners place an order on one of the Platforms. In the case of diner subscription fees for unlimited delivery, revenue is recognized when payment for the monthly subscription is received. Revenue consists of the following for the periods indicated (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Transaction fees $ 46,400 $ 18,466 $ 143,595 $ 45,715 Setup and integration fees 2,731 820 4,834 1,936 Other 70 145 146 349 Total Revenue $ 49,201 $ 19,431 $ 148,575 $ 48,000 Transaction fees represent the revenue recognized from the Company’s obligation to process orders on the Platforms. The performance obligation is satisfied when the Company successfully processes an order placed on one of the Platforms and the restaurant receives the order at their location. The obligation to process orders on the Platforms represents a series of distinct performance obligations satisfied over time that the Company combines into a single performance obligation. Consistent with the recognition objective in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers During the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”), the Company has received non-refundable upfront setup and integration fees for onboarding certain restaurants. Setup and integration activities primarily represent administrative activities that allowed the Company to fulfill future performance obligations for these restaurants and do not represent services transferred to the restaurant. However, the non-refundable upfront setup and integration fees charged to restaurants resulted in a performance obligation in the form of a material right related to the restaurant’s option to renew the contract each day rather than provide a notice of termination. Upfront non-refundable fees were generally due shortly after the contract was executed; however, the Company could provide installment payment options for up to six months. Revenue related to setup and integration fees has historically been recognized ratably over a two-year period. In July 2019, the Company initiated modifications to its fee structure with a majority of restaurants on the Waitr Platform. The new, modified fee structure is performance-based and tiered such that restaurants with higher sales through the Waitr Platform are subject to a rate at the lower end of the range, whereas restaurants with lower sales through the Waitr Platform are subject to a rate at the upper end of the range. The new, performance-based fees became effective in August 2019, upon acceptance of the new agreements by the restaurants. Approximately 22% of the restaurants on the Waitr Platform did not accept the new agreements, resulting in the termination of their contracts. Additionally, with the introduction of the performance-based fee structure, the Company generally discontinued offering fee arrangements with the one-time setup and integration fee. Upon acceptance of the new performance-based fee agreement, in certain cases, the Company waived uncollected portions of the setup and integration fee and refunded portions of previously paid setup and integration fees. The contract modifications and the effect of such modifications on our measure of progress towards the performance obligations resulted in accelerated recognition of deferred revenue related to the modified contracts. Included in revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2019 is a cumulative adjustment to setup and integration fee revenue of $3,005, which was included in deferred revenue as of August 1, 2019. The cumulative adjustment to revenue was partially offset by write-offs of uncollected setup and integration fees within accounts receivable of $797 and refunds of previously paid setup and integration fees of $320. Further, a portion of our capitalized contract costs pertaining to or allocable to terminated restaurant contracts was recognized in the third quarter of 2019, resulting in an impairment loss of $852. For additional details, see “ Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer Costs to Fulfill a Contract with a Customer The Company sells gift cards on the Bite Squad Platform and recognizes revenue upon gift card redemption. Gift cards that have not yet been utilized amounted to $613 as of September 30, 2019 and are included on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet in other current liabilities. Significant Judgment Most of the Company’s contracts with restaurants contain multiple performance obligations as described above. For these contracts, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately if they are both capable of being distinct, and distinct in the context of the contract. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately may require significant judgment. Judgment is also required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. The Company used the alternative approach in ASC 606 to allocate the upfront fee between the material right obligation and the transaction fee obligation, which resulted in all of the upfront non-refundable payment at inception of the contract being allocated to the material right obligation. When contracts with restaurants include other performance obligations, such as ancillary equipment, the Company establishes a single amount to estimate the standalone selling price for the goods or services. In instances where the standalone selling price is not directly observable, it is determined using observable inputs. Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to restaurants. The Company records a receivable when it has an unconditional right to the consideration. Setup and integration fees were due at inception of the contract; in certain cases, extended payment terms may have been provided for up to six months and are included in accounts receivable. The opening balance of accounts receivable, net was $3,687 and $2,124 Payment terms and conditions on setup and integration fees varied by contract type, although terms typically included a requirement of payment within six months. The Company recorded a contract liability in deferred revenue for the unearned portion of the upfront non-refundable fee. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined its contracts do not include a significant financing component. Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a restaurant and recognizes the expense over the course of the period when the Company expects to recover those costs. The Company has determined that certain internal sales incentives earned at the time when an initial contract is executed meet these requirements. Capitalized sales incentives are amortized to sales and marketing expense on a straight-line basis over the period of benefit. The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a restaurant when the amortization period would have been one year or less. As a result of the changes in the terms of the contracts related to the modified fee structure introduced in July 2019, we changed our estimate of the useful life of the asset for costs to obtain a contract to better reflect the estimated period in which the asset will remain in service. Effective August 1, 2019, the estimated useful life of the asset for costs to obtain a contract from customers, previously estimated at In connection with the modified fee structure and the related changes in the contract terms, certain restaurants elected to terminate their contracts, resulting in an impairment charge for the portion of capitalized contract costs of obtaining a contract which was deemed to be non-recoverable. The impairment was calculated based on a pro rata allocation of the carrying value of the asset as of July 31, 2019 between the restaurants remaining on the Waitr Platform and those terminating their contracts. The capitalized contract costs allocated to the terminated restaurants totaled $341 and was recognized as an impairment loss during the three months ended September 30, 2019 in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Deferred costs related to obtaining contracts with restaurants were $1,639 at September 30, 2019, prior to the Company’s goodwill and intangible asset impairment analysis. The full value of capitalized contract costs to obtain contracts with restaurants at September 30, 2019 was impaired during the three months ended September 30, 2019 (see Note 5 – Intangible Assets and Goodwill Costs to Fulfill a Contract with a Customer The Company also recognizes an asset for the costs to fulfill a contract with a restaurant when they are specifically identifiable, generate or enhance resources used to satisfy future performance obligations, and are expected to be recovered. The Company has determined that certain costs related to setup and integration activities meet the capitalization criteria under ASC Topic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs As a result of the changes in the terms of the contracts related to the modified fee structure introduced in July 2019, we changed our estimate of the useful life of the asset for costs to fulfill a contract to better reflect the estimated period in which the asset will remain in service. Effective August 1, 2019, the estimated useful life of the asset for costs to fulfill a contract from customers, previously estimated at two years, was increased to five years. The change in estimate had no material impact on the Company’s results of operations for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2019. The changes in the terms of the contracts in July 2019 and the related termination of contracts by certain restaurants resulted in a $511 impairment charge for the portion of capitalized contract costs to fulfill a contract that were deemed to be non-recoverable, based on the pro rata allocation described above. The impairment loss was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2019 in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Deferred costs related to fulfilling contracts with restaurants were $2,176 at September 30, 2019, prior to the Company’s goodwill and intangible asset impairment analysis. The full value of capitalized contract costs to fulfill contracts with restaurants at September 30, 2019 was impaired during the three months ended September 30, 2019 (see Note 5 – Intangible Assets and Goodwill Recent Accounting Pronouncements Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”), to the FASB’s ASCs.

Business Combinations | 3. Business Combinations Bite Squad Merger On January 17, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Bite Squad, a Minnesota limited liability company, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 11, 2018 (the “Bite Squad Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Bite Squad and Wingtip Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The transactions contemplated by the Bite Squad Merger Agreement are referred to herein as the “Bite Squad Merger.” Upon consummation of the Bite Squad Merger, Wingtip Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into Bite Squad, with Bite Squad surviving the merger in accordance with the Minnesota Revised Uniform Limited Liability Act as a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of the Company. Founded in 2012 and based in Minneapolis, Bite Squad operates a three-sided marketplace, consistent with Waitr, through the Bite Squad Platform. (in thousands, except per share amount) Shares transferred at closing 10,592 Value per share $ 11.95 Total share consideration $ 126,574 Plus: cash transferred to Bite Squad members 197,255 Plus: pay down of debt 11,880 Plus: working capital payment to seller 149 Total merger consideration $ 335,858 The Bite Squad Merger was considered a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, and has been accounted for using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method of accounting, total merger consideration, acquired assets and assumed liabilities are recorded based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of merger consideration over the fair value of the assets less liabilities acquired has been recorded as goodwill. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Bite Squad Merger consists of the following (in thousands): Cash and cash equivalents $ 11,819 Settlements due from credit card processors 1,097 Accounts receivable 632 Inventory 940 Prepaid expenses and other 562 Intangible assets 104,400 Loans receivable 336 Other noncurrent assets 163 Restaurant food liability (930 ) Accounts payable (953 ) Accrued payroll (1,125 ) Accrued taxes (1,818 ) Other accruals (3,803 ) Total assets acquired and liabilities assumed 111,320 Goodwill 224,538 Total merger consideration $ 335,858 The Company engaged a third-party to assist management in estimating the fair value of the assets and liabilities. The goodwill recorded in the Bite Squad Merger represents future anticipated economic benefits from combining operations of Waitr and Bite Squad, including, but not limited to, future growth into new markets, future enhancements to the Platforms, future customer relationships and the workforce in place. Approximately 81% of the goodwill is The acquired identifiable intangible assets include customer relationships, trade name and developed technology. The acquired customer relationships were valued using the income approach, specifically, the multi-period excess earnings method, which measures the after-tax cash flows attributable to the existing customer relationships after deducting the operating costs and contributory asset charges associated with economic rents associated with supporting the existing customer relationships. The customer relationships acquired represent a Level 3 measurement as it was based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions used in pricing the asset at fair value. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation. The acquired trade name was valued using the income approach, specifically, the relief from royalty rate method, which measures the cash flow streams attributable to the trade name in the form of royalty payments that would be paid to the owner of the trade name in return for the rights to use the trade name. The trade name acquired represents a Level 3 measurement as it was based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions used in pricing the asset at fair value. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation. As a result of the significant and sustained decline in the Company’s market capitalization, the Company conducted an impairment test as of September 30, 2019, including a fair value analysis of the goodwill and intangible assets acquired in the Bite Squad Merger. See Note 5 – Intangible Assets and Goodwill The results of operations of Bite Squad are included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date, January 17, 2019. Revenue and net loss of Bite Squad included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the three months ended September 30, 2019 totaled approximately $23,996 and $196,205, respectively, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled approximately $73,058 and $208,156, respectively. Identifiable intangible assets acquired from Bite Squad consisted of the following (in thousands): Amortizable Life (in years) Value Customer Relationships 7.5 $ 81,000 Trade name 3.0 5,400 Developed technology 4.0 18,000 Total $ 104,400 The acquired identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis to reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed. In connection with the Bite Squad Merger, the Company incurred direct and incremental costs of $6,956, including debt modification expense of $375, consisting of legal and professional fees, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Pro-Forma Financial Information (Unaudited) The supplemental condensed consolidated results of the Company on an unaudited pro forma basis as if the Bite Squad Merger had been consummated on January 1, 2018 are as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Net Revenue $ 49,201 $ 40,856 $ 152,861 $ 106,575 Net Loss 220,126 13,929 270,794 35,316 These pro forma results were based on estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes are reasonable. They are not the results that would have been realized had the Company been a consolidated company during the periods presented and are not indicative of consolidated results of operations in future periods. The pro forma results include adjustments primarily related to acquisition accounting adjustments and interest expense associated with the related Additional Term Loans (as defined below) in connection with the Bite Squad Merger. Acquisition costs and other non-recurring charges incurred are included in the period presented. Other Acquisitions In September 2019, t Note 7 – Debt The transactions were accounted for as business combinations, with the fair values allocated primarily to customer relationships (restaurants and end consumers) and software. The results of operations of the acquired businesses are included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on their acquisition dates and were immaterial. Pro forma results were immaterial to the operations of the Company. The acquired customer relationship intangible asset was valued at $953 and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 7.5 years and the acquired software was valued at $250 and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over three years. The amortization periods reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the acquired assets are consumed (see Note 5 – Intangible Assets and Goodwill Landcadia Business Combination On November 15, 2018, the Company (f/k/a Landcadia Holdings, Inc.) completed the acquisition of Waitr Incorporated (the “Landcadia Business Combination”). Waitr Incorporated began operations in 2014 as a restaurant platform for online food ordering and delivery services. Landcadia Holdings, Inc. was a special purpose acquisition company whose business was to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase reorganization or similar business combination. The Landcadia Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Landcadia Holdings, Inc. was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Landcadia Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Waitr Incorporated issuing stock for the net assets of Landcadia Holdings, Inc., accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Landcadia Holdings, Inc. were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Reported amounts from operations included herein prior to the Landcadia Business Combination are those of Waitr Incorporated. The shares and earnings per share available to holders of the Company’s common stock as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio established in the Landcadia Business Combination (0.8970953 Waitr Holdings Inc. shares to 1.0 Waitr Incorporated share). The pro forma information of the Landcadia Business Combination has been excluded as the amounts are not material. The aggregate consideration for the Landcadia Business Combination was $300,000, consisting of $71,680 in cash and 22,831,697 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $10.00 per share. |

Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Intangibles Assets and Goodwill | 5. Intangibles Assets and Goodwill Intangible Assets Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and include internally developed software, as well as software to be otherwise marketed, and trademarks/trade name/patents and customer relationships. The Company has determined that the Waitr trademark intangible asset is an indefinite-lived asset and therefore is not subject to amortization but is evaluated annually for impairment. The Bite Squad trade name intangible asset, however, is being amortized over its estimated useful life. Intangible assets are stated at cost or acquisition-date fair value less accumulated amortization and consist of the following (in thousands): As of September 30, 2019 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Accumulated Impairment Intangible Assets, Net Software $ 20,513 $ (3,734 ) $ (11,479 ) $ 5,300 Trademarks/Trade name/Patents 5,405 (1,275 ) — 4,130 Customer Relationships 81,953 (7,575 ) (57,378 ) 17,000 Total $ 107,871 $ (12,584 ) $ (68,857 ) $ 26,430 As of December 31, 2018 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Accumulated Impairment Intangible Assets, Net Software $ 1,239 $ (536 ) $ (589 ) $ 114 Trademarks/Trade name/Patents 5 — — 5 Customer Relationships 142 — — 142 Total $ 1,386 $ (536 ) $ (589 ) $ 261 On January 17, 2019, the Company acquired intangible assets in connection with the acquisition of Bite Squad, including customer relationships of $81,000, trade names valued at $5,400 and developed technology of $18,000. In September 2019, the Company acquired a customer relationship intangible asset valued at $953 and software valued at $250 in connection with two separate acquisitions. See Note 3 – Business Combinations The Company recorded amortization expense of $4,328 and $28 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $12,573 and $58 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets is as follows (in thousands): Amortization The remainder of 2019 $ 1,488 2020 5,936 2021 5,928 2022 4,137 2023 2,561 Thereafter 6,375 Total future amortization $ 26,425 Goodwill The Company’s goodwill balance is as follows as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands): September 30, December 31, 2019 2018 Balance, beginning of period $ 1,408 $ 1,408 Acquisition during the period 224,538 — Impairment during the period (119,212 ) — Balance, end of period $ 106,734 $ 1,408 The Company recorded $224,538 of goodwill during the first quarter of 2019 as a result of the allocation of the purchase price over assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Bite Squad Merger (see Note 3 – Business Combinations Impairments The Company conducts its goodwill and intangible asset impairment test annually in October, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. For purposes of testing for goodwill impairment, the Company has one reporting unit. As a result of recent, adverse changes in market conditions from increased competition having negatively affected the Company’s order and revenue growth, thereby contributing to a sustained decline in the Company’s market capitalization, the Company conducted its impairment test as of September 30, 2019. The impairment test was conducted in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Intangibles – Goodwill and Other ASC 360 requires long-lived assets to be tested for impairment using a three-step impairment test. Step 1 of the test is giving consideration to whether indicators of impairment of long-lived assets are present. Given the sustained decline in the Company’s market capitalization, indications were that an impairment may exist and the Company proceeded to Step 2 to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized. As a part of Step 2, the Company performed a recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the long-lived assets in question to their carrying amounts. Given that the undiscounted cash flows for the long-lived assets were below the carrying amounts, the Company proceeded to perform Step 3 of the test by measuring the amount of impairment to the long-lived assets. An impairment loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset over its implied fair value. As a result of this analysis, the Company recognized non-cash pre-tax impairment losses for the long-lived assets of $71,982, described in more detail below. ASC 350 requires goodwill and other indefinite lived assets to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. For ASC 350 testing purposes, the Company compared the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated giving consideration to the Income Approach, including the discounted cash flow method, and the Market Approach, including the similar transactions method and guideline public company method. Significant inputs and assumptions in the ASC 350 analysis included forecasts (e.g., revenue, operating costs, capital expenditures, etc.), discount rate, long-term growth rate, tax rates, etc. for the reporting unit under the Income Approach and market-based enterprise value to revenue multiples under the Market Approach. As a result of the ASC 360 and ASC 350 analyses, the Company recognized a total non-cash pre-tax impairment loss of $191,194 during the three months ended September 30, 2019 to write down the carrying values of goodwill and intangible assets, including capitalized contract costs, customer relationships and developed technology, to their implied fair values. See below for additional details related to the methodology taken to estimate the fair value for the long-lived assets for purposes of the ASC 360 impairment testing. The developed technology asset was valued using the replacement cost methodology which considers the direct replacement and opportunity costs associated with the underlying technology. The developed technology analysis represents a Level 3 measurement as it was based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions used in pricing the asset at fair value. These inputs required significant judgment and estimates at the time of the valuation. The customer relationships were valued using the Income Approach, specifically, the multi-period excess earnings method, which measures the after-tax cash flows attributable to the existing customer relationships after deducting the operating costs and contributory asset charges associated with supporting the existing customer relationships. The customer relationships analysis represents a Level 3 measurement as it was based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions used in developing a fair value estimate. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation. The total non-cash impairment loss of $191,194 resulting from the ASC 360 and ASC 350 analyses included goodwill and intangible asset impairment losses of $119,212 and $71,982, respectively, which are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations under the captions “goodwill impairment” and “intangible and other asset impairments,” respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The intangible asset impairment loss of $71,982 included $57,295 for the impairment of customer relationships and $10,872 for the impairment of developed technology. Additionally, $3,815 of capitalized contracts costs, related to future revenue generation that was effectively subsumed in the customer relationship value, were impaired. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit and intangible assets requires the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results. It is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates described above could change in future periods. There can be no assurance that additional goodwill or intangible assets will not be impaired in future periods. In July 2019, the Company ceased the operations of a grocery delivery service related to the GoGoGrocer asset acquisition and concluded that the carrying value of the acquired customer relationship asset was non-recoverable, resulting in an impairment loss of $83. The loss is included in intangible and other asset impairments in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Additionally, intangible and other asset impairments during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 include an impairment loss of $18 for the portion of previously capitalized software that was replaced due to the release of new software developed in the first quarter of 2019. |

Interest expense includes interest on outstanding borrowings and amortization of debt issuance costs. Debt Facility On November 15, 2018, the Company’s wholly-owned indirect subsidiary Waitr Inc., as borrower, entered into the Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2018 (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) with Luxor Capital Group, LP (“Luxor Capital”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, the various lenders party thereto, Waitr Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Intermediate Holdings”) and wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company, and certain subsidiaries of Waitr Inc. as guarantors. The Credit Agreement provided for a senior secured first priority term loan facility (the “Debt Facility”) to Waitr Inc. in the aggregate principal amount o f $ The Term Loans are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company and will mature on November 15, 2022 Interest on borrowings under the Debt Facility accrued at a rate of 7.0% per annum prior to the January 17, 2019 amendment to the Credit Agreement. Effective January 17, 2019, interest on borrowings under the Debt Facility accrues at a rate of 7.125% per annum, payable quarterly, in cash or, at the election of the borrower The Credit Agreement includes a number of customary covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of each of Intermediate Holdings, Waitr Inc. and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, incur liens on assets, engage in mergers or consolidations, dispose of assets, pay dividends or repurchase capital stock and repay certain junior indebtedness. The aforementioned restrictions are subject to certain exceptions including the ability to incur additional indebtedness, liens, dividends, and prepayments of junior indebtedness subject, in each case, to compliance with certain financial metrics and/or certain other conditions and a number of other traditional exceptions that grant Waitr Inc. continued flexibility to operate and develop its business. Pursuant to an amendment to the Credit Agreement on May 21, 2019 in connection with the Company’s underwritten follow-on public offering of common stock (the “Offering”), the $15,000 minimum consolidated liquidity requirement that existed under the Credit Agreement was removed. The Credit Agreement also includes customary affirmative covenants, representations and warranties and events of default. We believe that we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2019.

The Company’s payment Debt Extinguishment During the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a gain on debt extinguishment of $1,897 related to the May 21, 2019 amendments to the Convertible Notes Agreement and Credit Agreement. Based on management’s determination that the sole lender under the Term Loans and Notes (Luxor Capital, along with the Luxor Entities) is a related party to the Company, in accordance with ASC 470-50, the Company recorded the gain on debt extinguishment as a capital contribution in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity. For purposes of calculating net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (see Note 14 – Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders ), the gain on debt extinguishment was added to net loss.

The Series 2018 Notes accrued interest at a rate of 8% per annum that was due and payable at maturity, unless otherwise converted prior to maturity. In connection with the Landcadia Business Combination, the Series 2018 Notes were either ultimately converted into common stock of the post-combination company or redeemed for cash. The Company determined that the feature in the Series 2018 Notes providing for conversion into shares sold in the next financing at a stated discount and the ability for holders to redeem their notes at a substantial premium, represented an embedded derivative, requiring separate accounting recognition, in accordance with subtopic ASC 815-15 .

Revenue Recognition And Deferred Revenue [Abstract] | |
Deferred Revenue | 9. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue is comprised of unearned setup and integration fees. The Company’s opening deferred revenue balance was $4,670 and $2,358 as of January 1, 2019 and January 1, 2018, respectively. The Company recognized $523 and $811 of setup and integration revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $2,627 and $1,780 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which was included in the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of the respective periods. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized a cumulative adjustment to setup and integration revenue of $3,005, which was included in deferred revenue as of August 1, 2019. The cumulative adjustment to revenue was partially offset by write-offs of uncollected setup and integration fees within accounts receivable of $797. See Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations As of September 30, 2019, $979 of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for setup and integration fees. The Company expects to recognize revenue of approximately $767 on these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 10. Income Taxes The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability approach under which deferred income taxes are provided for based upon enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the taxes become payable. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $30 and $4 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $60 and $38 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company’s income tax expense is entirely related to taxes required on gross margins in Texas. A partial valuation allowance has been recorded as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 as the Company has historically generated net operating losses, and the Company did not consider future book income as a source of taxable income when assessing if a portion of the deferred tax assets is more likely than not to be realized. |

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 11. Commitments and Contingencies Sales Tax Contingent Liability The Company received an assessment from the State of Mississippi Department of Revenue (the “MDR”), in connection with their audit of Waitr for the period from April 2017 through January 2019, claiming additional sales taxes due. The assessment relates to the MDR’s assertion that sales taxes are due on the delivery fees charged to end user customers when an order is placed on the Waitr Platform. The total asserted claim, plus estimated accrued interest and penalties, amounts to approximately $300 at September 30, 2019. We disagree with the MDR’s assertion that our delivery fees are subject to sales tax and that we are liable for such sales taxes. We are in the process of appealing the MDR’s assessment. Workers’ Compensation Claim On November 27, 2017, Guarantee Insurance Company (“GIC”), the Company’s former workers’ compensation insurer, was ordered into receivership for purposes of liquidation by the Second Judicial Circuit Court in Leon County, Florida. At the time of the court order, GIC was administering the Company’s outstanding workers’ compensation claims. Upon entering receivership, the guaranty associations of the states where GIC operated began reviewing outstanding claims administered by GIC for continued claim coverage eligibility based on guaranty associations’ eligibility criteria. The Company’s net worth exceeded the threshold of $25,000 established by the Louisiana Insurance Guaranty Association (“LIGA”) when determining eligibility for claims coverage. As such, LIGA assessed the Company’s outstanding claim as ineligible for coverage. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $818 and $1,317, respectively, in workers’ compensation liabilities associated with the GIC claims. The Company recorded no general and administrative expense related to these liabilities during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2019 and recorded an additional $157 of general and administrative expense related to these liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Legal Matters In February 2019, the Company was named a defendant in a lawsuit titled Halley, et al vs. Waitr Holdings Inc Montgomery v. Waitr Holdings Inc On September 26, 2019, Christopher Meaux, David Pringle, Jeff Yurecko, Tilman J. Fertitta, Richard Handler, Waitr Holdings Inc. f/k/a Landcadia Holdings Inc., Jefferies Financial Group, Inc. and Jefferies, LLC were named as defendants in a lawsuit titled Walter Welch, Individually and on Behalf of all Others Similarly Situated vs. Christopher Meaux, David Pringle, Jeff Yurecko, Tilman J. Fertitta, Richard Handler, Waitr Holdings Inc. f/k/a Landcadia Holdings Inc., Jefferies Financial Group, Inc. and Jefferies, LLC, filed in the Western District of Louisiana, Lake Charles Division, on behalf of plaintiff and all others similarly situated alleging, inter alia, that various defendants made false and misleading statements in securities filings, engaged in fraud, and violated accounting and securities rules. Waitr believes that this case lacks merit and that it has strong defenses to all of the infringement claims alleged. Waitr intends to vigorously defend the suit. The Company accrued a $ 2,000 reserve In addition to the lawsuits described above, Waitr is involved in other litigation arising from the normal course of business activities. Waitr is involved in various lawsuits involving claims for personal injuries, physical damage and workers’ compensation benefits suffered as a result of alleged Waitr drivers, independent contractors, and third-party negligence. Although Waitr believes that it maintains insurance that generally covers its liability for damages, if any, insurance coverage is not guaranteed, and Waitr could suffer material losses as a result of these claims or the denial of coverage for such claims. |

Fair Value Measurement | 12. Fair Value Measurement Certain financial instruments are required to be recorded at fair value. Other financial instruments, including cash, are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. Additionally, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company held no financial instruments required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The Company generally applies fair value concepts in recording assets and liabilities acquired in acquisitions.

Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders | 14. Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and warrants, except in cases where the effect of the common stock equivalent would be antidilutive. The Landcadia Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP (see Note 3 – Business Combinations The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Numerator: Net loss – basic and diluted $ (220,104 ) $ (6,515 ) $ (269,705 ) $ (17,341 ) Gain on debt extinguishment recorded as a capital contribution (see Note 7) — — 1,897 — Net loss attributable to participating securities – basic and diluted — — — — Net loss attributable to common stockholders – basic and diluted $ (220,104 ) $ (6,515 ) $ (267,808 ) $ (17,341 ) Denominator: Weighted-average number of shares outstanding – basic and diluted 76,145,317 10,145,527 71,071,777 10,064,560 Loss per share – basic and diluted $ (2.89 ) $ (0.64 ) $ (3.77 ) $ (1.72 ) Excluded from the calculation of weighted-average number of diluted shares outstanding is the effect of the Series 2018 Notes, which have historically converted to preferred shares. In connection with the Landcadia Business Combination, we issued Notes which are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. See Note 7 – Debt The following table includes potentially dilutive common stock equivalents as of September 30, 2019 and 2018. The Company generated a net loss attributable to the Company’s common stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Accordingly, the effect of dilutive securities is not considered in the loss per share for such periods because their effect would be antidilutive on the net loss.

Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as they apply to interim financial information. Accordingly, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make information not misleading. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the Company’s opinion, include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. |
Reclassification | Reclassification Certain prior period amounts included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. The Company has revised the classification of certain employee-related wages and payroll taxes associated with such wages for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 to better align the statement of operations line items with departmental responsibilities and management of operations. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s reported total costs and expenses, loss from operations, net loss or loss per share for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and judgments relied upon in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements affect the following items: determination of the nature and timing of satisfaction of revenue-generating performance obligations and the standalone selling price of performance obligations, variable consideration, other obligations such as product returns and refunds, allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for chargebacks, incurred loss estimates under our insurance policies with large deductibles or retention levels, income taxes, useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, equity compensation, contingencies, goodwill and other intangible assets, impairments and fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of a business combination. The Company regularly assesses these estimates and records changes to estimates in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ from those estimates. |
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates | Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Except as set forth below, there has been no material change to our critical accounting policies and estimates described in the 2018 Form 10-K. |
Revenue | Revenue The Company generates revenue (“transaction fees”) primarily when diners place an order on one of the Platforms. In the case of diner subscription fees for unlimited delivery, revenue is recognized when payment for the monthly subscription is received. Revenue consists of the following for the periods indicated (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Transaction fees $ 46,400 $ 18,466 $ 143,595 $ 45,715 Setup and integration fees 2,731 820 4,834 1,936 Other 70 145 146 349 Total Revenue $ 49,201 $ 19,431 $ 148,575 $ 48,000 Transaction fees represent the revenue recognized from the Company’s obligation to process orders on the Platforms. The performance obligation is satisfied when the Company successfully processes an order placed on one of the Platforms and the restaurant receives the order at their location. The obligation to process orders on the Platforms represents a series of distinct performance obligations satisfied over time that the Company combines into a single performance obligation. Consistent with the recognition objective in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers During the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”), the Company has received non-refundable upfront setup and integration fees for onboarding certain restaurants. Setup and integration activities primarily represent administrative activities that allowed the Company to fulfill future performance obligations for these restaurants and do not represent services transferred to the restaurant. However, the non-refundable upfront setup and integration fees charged to restaurants resulted in a performance obligation in the form of a material right related to the restaurant’s option to renew the contract each day rather than provide a notice of termination. Upfront non-refundable fees were generally due shortly after the contract was executed; however, the Company could provide installment payment options for up to six months. Revenue related to setup and integration fees has historically been recognized ratably over a two-year period. In July 2019, the Company initiated modifications to its fee structure with a majority of restaurants on the Waitr Platform. The new, modified fee structure is performance-based and tiered such that restaurants with higher sales through the Waitr Platform are subject to a rate at the lower end of the range, whereas restaurants with lower sales through the Waitr Platform are subject to a rate at the upper end of the range. The new, performance-based fees became effective in August 2019, upon acceptance of the new agreements by the restaurants. Approximately 22% of the restaurants on the Waitr Platform did not accept the new agreements, resulting in the termination of their contracts. Additionally, with the introduction of the performance-based fee structure, the Company generally discontinued offering fee arrangements with the one-time setup and integration fee. Upon acceptance of the new performance-based fee agreement, in certain cases, the Company waived uncollected portions of the setup and integration fee and refunded portions of previously paid setup and integration fees. The contract modifications and the effect of such modifications on our measure of progress towards the performance obligations resulted in accelerated recognition of deferred revenue related to the modified contracts. Included in revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2019 is a cumulative adjustment to setup and integration fee revenue of $3,005, which was included in deferred revenue as of August 1, 2019. The cumulative adjustment to revenue was partially offset by write-offs of uncollected setup and integration fees within accounts receivable of $797 and refunds of previously paid setup and integration fees of $320. Further, a portion of our capitalized contract costs pertaining to or allocable to terminated restaurant contracts was recognized in the third quarter of 2019, resulting in an impairment loss of $852. For additional details, see “ Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer Costs to Fulfill a Contract with a Customer The Company sells gift cards on the Bite Squad Platform and recognizes revenue upon gift card redemption. Gift cards that have not yet been utilized amounted to $613 as of September 30, 2019 and are included on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet in other current liabilities. Significant Judgment Most of the Company’s contracts with restaurants contain multiple performance obligations as described above. For these contracts, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately if they are both capable of being distinct, and distinct in the context of the contract. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately may require significant judgment. Judgment is also required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. The Company used the alternative approach in ASC 606 to allocate the upfront fee between the material right obligation and the transaction fee obligation, which resulted in all of the upfront non-refundable payment at inception of the contract being allocated to the material right obligation. When contracts with restaurants include other performance obligations, such as ancillary equipment, the Company establishes a single amount to estimate the standalone selling price for the goods or services. In instances where the standalone selling price is not directly observable, it is determined using observable inputs. Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to restaurants. The Company records a receivable when it has an unconditional right to the consideration. Setup and integration fees were due at inception of the contract; in certain cases, extended payment terms may have been provided for up to six months and are included in accounts receivable. The opening balance of accounts receivable, net was $3,687 and $2,124 Payment terms and conditions on setup and integration fees varied by contract type, although terms typically included a requirement of payment within six months. The Company recorded a contract liability in deferred revenue for the unearned portion of the upfront non-refundable fee. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined its contracts do not include a significant financing component. Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a restaurant and recognizes the expense over the course of the period when the Company expects to recover those costs. The Company has determined that certain internal sales incentives earned at the time when an initial contract is executed meet these requirements. Capitalized sales incentives are amortized to sales and marketing expense on a straight-line basis over the period of benefit. The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a restaurant when the amortization period would have been one year or less. As a result of the changes in the terms of the contracts related to the modified fee structure introduced in July 2019, we changed our estimate of the useful life of the asset for costs to obtain a contract to better reflect the estimated period in which the asset will remain in service. Effective August 1, 2019, the estimated useful life of the asset for costs to obtain a contract from customers, previously estimated at In connection with the modified fee structure and the related changes in the contract terms, certain restaurants elected to terminate their contracts, resulting in an impairment charge for the portion of capitalized contract costs of obtaining a contract which was deemed to be non-recoverable. The impairment was calculated based on a pro rata allocation of the carrying value of the asset as of July 31, 2019 between the restaurants remaining on the Waitr Platform and those terminating their contracts. The capitalized contract costs allocated to the terminated restaurants totaled $341 and was recognized as an impairment loss during the three months ended September 30, 2019 in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Deferred costs related to obtaining contracts with restaurants were $1,639 at September 30, 2019, prior to the Company’s goodwill and intangible asset impairment analysis. The full value of capitalized contract costs to obtain contracts with restaurants at September 30, 2019 was impaired during the three months ended September 30, 2019 (see Note 5 – Intangible Assets and Goodwill Costs to Fulfill a Contract with a Customer The Company also recognizes an asset for the costs to fulfill a contract with a restaurant when they are specifically identifiable, generate or enhance resources used to satisfy future performance obligations, and are expected to be recovered. The Company has determined that certain costs related to setup and integration activities meet the capitalization criteria under ASC Topic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs As a result of the changes in the terms of the contracts related to the modified fee structure introduced in July 2019, we changed our estimate of the useful life of the asset for costs to fulfill a contract to better reflect the estimated period in which the asset will remain in service. Effective August 1, 2019, the estimated useful life of the asset for costs to fulfill a contract from customers, previously estimated at two years, was increased to five years. The change in estimate had no material impact on the Company’s results of operations for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2019. The changes in the terms of the contracts in July 2019 and the related termination of contracts by certain restaurants resulted in a $511 impairment charge for the portion of capitalized contract costs to fulfill a contract that were deemed to be non-recoverable, based on the pro rata allocation described above. The impairment loss was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2019 in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Deferred costs related to fulfilling contracts with restaurants were $2,176 at September 30, 2019, prior to the Company’s goodwill and intangible asset impairment analysis.

Business Combinations | The Bite Squad Merger was considered a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, and has been accounted for using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method of accounting, total merger consideration, acquired assets and assumed liabilities are recorded based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of merger consideration over the fair value of the assets less liabilities acquired has been recorded as goodwill. |
Impairments | Impairments The Company conducts its goodwill and intangible asset impairment test annually in October, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. For purposes of testing for goodwill impairment, the Company has one reporting unit. As a result of recent, adverse changes in market conditions from increased competition having negatively affected the Company’s order and revenue growth, thereby contributing to a sustained decline in the Company’s market capitalization, the Company conducted its impairment test as of September 30, 2019. The impairment test was conducted in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Intangibles – Goodwill and Other ASC 360 requires long-lived assets to be tested for impairment using a three-step impairment test. Step 1 of the test is giving consideration to whether indicators of impairment of long-lived assets are present. Given the sustained decline in the Company’s market capitalization, indications were that an impairment may exist and the Company proceeded to Step 2 to determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized. As a part of Step 2, the Company performed a recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the long-lived assets in question to their carrying amounts. Given that the undiscounted cash flows for the long-lived assets were below the carrying amounts, the Company proceeded to perform Step 3 of the test by measuring the amount of impairment to the long-lived assets. An impairment loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset over its implied fair value. As a result of this analysis, the Company recognized non-cash pre-tax impairment losses for the long-lived assets of $71,982, described in more detail below. ASC 350 requires goodwill and other indefinite lived assets to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. For ASC 350 testing purposes, the Company compared the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated giving consideration to the Income Approach, including the discounted cash flow method, and the Market Approach, including the similar transactions method and guideline public company method. Significant inputs and assumptions in the ASC 350 analysis included forecasts (e.g., revenue, operating costs, capital expenditures, etc.), discount rate, long-term growth rate, tax rates, etc. for the reporting unit under the Income Approach and market-based enterprise value to revenue multiples under the Market Approach. As a result of the ASC 360 and ASC 350 analyses, the Company recognized a total non-cash pre-tax impairment loss of $191,194 during the three months ended September 30, 2019 to write down the carrying values of goodwill and intangible assets, including capitalized contract costs, customer relationships and developed technology, to their implied fair values. See below for additional details related to the methodology taken to estimate the fair value for the long-lived assets for purposes of the ASC 360 impairment testing. |
