Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Overview and Basis of Presentation	OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION US Foods Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to in these consolidated financial statements and notes as “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” or “US Foods.” US Foods Holding Corp. conducts all of its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary US Foods, Inc. (“USF”) and its subsidiaries. All of the Company’s indebtedness, as further described in Note 9, Debt, is a direct obligation of USF and its subsidiaries. Business Description —The Company, through USF, operates in one business segment in which it markets and distributes fresh, frozen and dry food and non-food products to foodservice customers throughout the United States (“U.S.”). These customers include independently owned single and multi-unit restaurants, regional concepts, national restaurant chains, hospitals, nursing homes, hotels and motels, country clubs, government and military organizations, colleges and universities and retail locations. Basis of Presentation —The Company operates on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year, with all periods ending on a Saturday. When a 53-week fiscal year occurs, the Company reports the additional week in the fiscal fourth quarter. Fiscal years 2022 and 2021 are both 52-week fiscal years. The consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements and notes prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures included in this Quarterly Report are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the 2021 Annual Report. The consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be achieved for any other interim period or the full fiscal year.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity , which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, convertible debt will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. Additionally, the new guidance requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2020-06 at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, with no impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or diluted earnings per share reporting. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08 Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers , which amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 to require an acquirer to, at the date of acquisition, recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in accordance with ASU 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after adoption of the new guidance. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2021-08 at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, with no impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue recognition	REVENUE RECOGNITIONThe Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied, which occurs when a customer obtains control of the promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The Company generates substantially all of its revenue from the distribution and sale of food and food-related products and recognizes revenue when title and risk of loss passes to the customer and the customer accepts the goods, which occurs at delivery. Customer sales incentives, such as volume-based rebates or discounts, are treated as a reduction of revenue at the time the revenue is recognized. Sales taxes invoiced to customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from Net sales. Shipping and handling costs are treated as fulfillment costs and included in distribution, selling and administrative costs. The Company did not have any material outstanding performance obligations, contract liabilities or capitalized contract acquisition costs as of July 2, 2022 or January 1, 2022. Customer receivables, which are included in accounts receivable, less allowances in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $1.8 billion and $1.5 billion as of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively. The Company has certain customer contracts under which incentives are paid upfront to its customers. These payments have become industry practice and are not related to financing any customer’s business, nor are these payments associated with any distinct good or service to be received from any customer. These incentive payments are capitalized in prepaid expenses and other assets and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the life of the contract or as goods or services are transferred to the customer. The Company’s contract assets for these upfront payments were $27 million included in prepaid expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of both July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, and $29 million and $26 million included in other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively. The following table presents the disaggregation of revenue for each of the Company’s principal product categories: 13 Weeks Ended 26 Weeks Ended July 2, 2022 July 3, 2021 July 2, 2022 July 3, 2021 Meats and seafood $ 3,286 $ 2,951 $ 6,236 $ 5,213 Dry grocery products 1,485 1,272 2,818 2,365 Refrigerated and frozen grocery products 1,315 1,141 2,494 2,135 Dairy 938 737 1,699 1,359 Equipment, disposables and supplies 895 797 1,706 1,490 Beverage products 431 389 807 713 Produce 477 376 865 683 Total Net sales $ 8,827 $ 7,663 $ 16,625 $ 13,958

Inventories

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]
Inventories	INVENTORIES The Company’s inventories, consisting mainly of food and other food-related products, are primarily considered finished goods. Inventory costs include the purchase price of the product, freight costs to deliver it to the Company’s distribution and retail facilities, and depreciation and labor related to processing facilities and equipment, and are net of certain cash or non-cash consideration received from vendors. The Company assesses the need for valuation allowances for slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories by estimating the net recoverable value of such goods based upon inventory category, inventory age, specifically identified items, and overall economic conditions.The Company records inventories at the lower of cost or market primarily using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. For our LIFO based inventories, the base year values of beginning and ending inventories are determined using the inventory price index computation method. This “links” current costs to original costs in the base year when the Company adopted LIFO. LIFO reserves in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets were $479 million and $342 million as of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively. As a result of changes in LIFO reserves, cost of goods sold increased $65 million and $97 million for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively, and increased $137 million and $118 million for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively.

Allowance For Doubtful Accounts

Receivables [Abstract]
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts	ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTSThe Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information. Collections and payments from customers are continuously monitored. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and determines the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of factors. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon historical experience, future expected losses, as well as specific customer collection issues that have been identified. The Company uses specific criteria to determine uncollectible receivables to be written off, including bankruptcy, accounts referred to outside parties for collection, and accounts past due over specified periods. Activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2022 was more consistent with pre-pandemic activity than the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2021. A summary of the activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021 was as follows: July 2, 2022 July 3, 2021 Balance as of beginning of year $ 33 $ 67 Charged (benefit) to costs and expenses, net — (13) Customer accounts written off—net of recoveries (2) (9) Balance as of end of period $ 31 $ 45 This table excludes the vendor receivable related allowance for doubtful accounts of $13 million and $7 million as of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment [Abstract]
Property and Equipment	PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 40 years. Property and equipment under financing leases and leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the remaining terms of the related leases or the estimated useful lives of the assets, if reasonably assured the Company will purchase the assets at the end of the lease terms. As of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, property and equipment-net included accumulated depreciation of $2,852 million and $2,722 million, respectively. Depreciation expense was $81 million for both the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, and $159 million and $163 million for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Other Intangibles	GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES Goodwill includes the cost of acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of the tangible and other intangible net assets acquired. Other intangible assets include customer relationships, amortizable trade names, noncompete agreements, the brand names comprising the Company’s portfolio of exclusive brands, and trademarks. Brand names and trademarks are indefinite-lived intangible assets and, accordingly, are not subject to amortization, but are subject to impairment assessments as described below. Customer relationships, amortizable trade names and noncompete agreements are intangible assets with definite lives, and are carried at the acquired fair value less accumulated amortization. Customer relationships, amortizable trade names and noncompete agreements are amortized over their estimated useful lives (which range from approximately 3 to 15 years). Amortization expense was $11 million and $13 million for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively, and $22 million and $32 million for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively. Goodwill and other intangibles—net consisted of the following: July 2, 2022 January 1, 2022 Goodwill $ 5,625 $ 5,625 Other intangibles—net Customer relationships—amortizable: Gross carrying amount $ 655 $ 655 Accumulated amortization (121) (99) Net carrying value 534 556 Trade names—amortizable: Gross carrying amount 4 4 Accumulated amortization (1) (1) Net carrying value 3 3 Brand names and trademarks—not amortizing 271 271 Total other intangibles—net $ 808 $ 830 The Company assesses for impairment of intangible assets with definite lives only if events occur that indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually, or more frequently if events occur that indicate an asset may be impaired. For goodwill

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	6 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP, under which fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. The Company’s fair value measurements are based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, fair value accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: • Level 1—observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets • Level 2—observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active or inactive markets that are observable either directly or indirectly, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data • Level 3—unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions Any transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy will be recognized as of the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurs. There were no transfers between fair value levels in any of the periods presented below.

Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest, at USF’s periodic election, at a rate equal to the sum of an alternative base rate (“ABR”), as described in the ABL Facility, plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.50%, or the sum of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.50%, in each case based on USF’s excess availability under the ABL Facility. The margin under the ABL Facility as of July 2, 2022 was 0.00% for ABR loans and 1.00% for LIBOR loans. USF had no outstanding borrowings, and had outstanding letters of credit totaling $248 million, under the ABL Facility as of July 2, 2022.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per share	EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company computes EPS in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share . Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock, plus the effect of potentially dilutive securities. The Company applies the treasury method to calculate the dilution impact of share-based awards—stock options, non-vested restricted shares with forfeitable dividend rights, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plan deferrals. The Company applies the if-converted method to calculate the dilution impact of the Series A convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), if dilutive in the period. For the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, share-based awards representing 3 million and 1 million underlying common shares, respectively, were not included in the computation because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, share-based awards representing 3 million and 2 million underlying common shares, respectively, were not included in the computation because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Additionally, for both the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, Series A Preferred Stock representing 25 million of underlying common shares was not included in the computation because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS: 13 Weeks Ended 26 Weeks Ended July 2, 2022 July 3, 2021 July 2, 2022 July 3, 2021 Numerator: Net Income $ 70 $ 55 $ 63 $ 31 Less: Series A Preferred Stock Dividends (1) (9) (9) (18) (24) Net income available to common shareholders $ 61 $ 46 $ 45 $ 7 Denominator: Weighted-average common shares outstanding—basic 224 222 224 221 Effect of dilutive share-based awards 2 3 2 4 Effect of dilutive underlying shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (2) — — — — Weighted-average common shares outstanding—diluted 226 225 226 225 Net income per share Basic $ 0.27 $ 0.21 $ 0.20 $ 0.03 Diluted $ 0.27 $ 0.20 $ 0.20 $ 0.03 (1) Series A Preferred Stock dividends for the first quarter of 2021 were paid in kind on March 31, 2021 in the form of shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Preferred Stock dividends for the first and second quarters of 2022 were paid in cash on March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2022, respectively. (2) Under the if-converted method, outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are converted to common shares for inclusion in the calculation of the weighted-average common shares outstanding—diluted. Once converted, there would be no preferred stock outstanding and therefore no Series A Preferred Stock dividend.

The effective income tax rate reflects the income earned and taxed in U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions based on enacted tax law, permanent differences between book and tax items, tax credits and the Company’s change in relative income in each jurisdiction. The Company estimated its annual effective income tax rate for the full fiscal year and applied the annual effective income tax rate to the results of the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, and then recognized the impact of discrete tax items for purposes of determining its year-to-date tax provision.

Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Purchase Commitments —The Company enters into purchase orders with vendors and other parties in the ordinary course of business and has a limited number of purchase contracts with certain vendors that require it to buy a predetermined volume of products. The Company had $1,758 million of purchase orders and purchase contract commitments as of July 2, 2022 to be purchased in the remainder of fiscal year 2022 and $58 million of information technology commitments through September 2025 that are not recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. To minimize fuel price risk, the Company enters into forward purchase commitments for a portion of its projected diesel fuel requirements. The Company had diesel fuel forward purchase commitments totaling $34 million through November 2023, as of July 2, 2022. Additionally, the Company had electricity forward purchase commitments totaling $12 million through June 2024, as of July 2, 2022. The Company does not measure its forward purchase commitments for fuel and electricity at fair value, as the amounts under contract meet the physical delivery criteria in the normal purchase exception. Legal Proceedings —The Company is subject to a number of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. These legal proceedings, whether pending, threatened or unasserted, if decided adversely to or settled by the Company, may result in liabilities material to its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company has recognized provisions with respect to the proceedings, where appropriate, in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. It is possible that the Company could settle one or more of these proceedings or could be required to make expenditures, in excess of the established provisions, in amounts that cannot be reasonably estimated. However, the Company, at present, believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
