Fair Value of Financial Instruments | | |
Cash | For purposes of reporting cash and cash flows, cash is net of outstanding checks and includes, amounts on deposit at banks and deposits in transit. | |
Revenue Recognition | | |
Receivables | Receivables consist mainly of rebates due from a primary vendor. | |
Inventory | Inventory consists of food, beverages and supplies and is stated at lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. | |
Property and Equipment | Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives which range from three to thirty years. The Company reviews long-lived assets to determine if the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable based on estimated cash flows. Assets are reviewed at the lowest level for which cash flows can be identified, which is at the restaurant level. In determining future cash flows, significant estimates are made by the Company with respect to future operating results of each restaurant over its remaining life. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. | |
Assets Held for Sale | From time-to-time the Company may sell an existing operating unit or may close an operating unit and list the property for sale.

Income Taxes | We provide for income taxes under (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), 740), Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 using an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value. The deferred tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability and valuation allowances are adjusted, as necessary. As of July 4, 2021, the Company estimates a current tax provision for federal and state income taxes at the combined statutory rate of approximately 27.5% The Company currently has no accrued interest or penalties relating to any income tax obligations. The Company currently has no federal or state examinations in progress, nor has it had any federal or state tax examinations since its inception and all periods since inception remain open for examination. | |
Per Common Share Amounts | Net income per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB ASC. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted net income if their effect would be anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of the periods ending in 2021 and 2020, as the strike price for warrants outstanding was above the fair market price of the underlying stock in both periods. | |
Other Assets | Other assets are the allocated fair value of the acquired Dairy Queen franchise agreement related to the Company’s location in Ham Lake, Minnesota, which is being amortized over an estimated useful life of 14 years. | |

Use of Estimates | The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and the differences could be material. | |
