Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Nature of Operations	Organization and Nature of Operations Organization Dutch Bros Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on June 4, 2021 as a Delaware corporation for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (the “IPO”) and other related transactions in order to carry on the business of Dutch Mafia, LLC, a limited liability company, and its subsidiaries (“Dutch Bros OpCo”). The Company is the sole managing member of Dutch Bros OpCo and operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Dutch Bros OpCo. As a result, the Company consolidates the financial results of Dutch Bros OpCo and reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in Dutch Bros OpCo held by the other members of Dutch Bros OpCo. As of September 30, 2021, the Company owned approximately 28.7% of Dutch Bros OpCo. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company is in the business of operating and franchising drive-thru coffee shops as well as the wholesale sale and distribution of coffee, coffee-related products and accessories. As of September 30, 2021, there were 503 shops in operation in 11 U.S. states, of which 241 were company-operated and 262 were franchised. Initial Public Offering On September 17, 2021, the Company completed its IPO of approximately 24.2 million shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $23.00 per share, which included approximately 3.2 million shares issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. The Company received proceeds of approximately $520.8 million, net of offering costs. The proceeds were also used to purchase approximately 10.9 million newly-issued Class A common units from Dutch Bros OpCo for approximately $234.4 million. The proceeds were also used to purchase approximately 11.7 million Class A common units from the Continuing Members for approximately $253.3 million, and approximately 1.6 million shares of Class D common stock from the Pre-IPO Blocker Holders for approximately $34.4 million. Reorganization Transactions In connection with the IPO, the Company completed the following transactions (the "Reorganization Transactions"): • Amended and restated the Second Dutch Bros OpCo Agreement to, among other things, effect a recapitalization in which (i) the outstanding Common Units were converted into Class A common units paired with an equal number of either Class B voting units or Class C voting units, and (ii) the outstanding Profits Interest (“PI”) Units were converted into Class A common units. • Amended and restated the Company’s certificate of incorporation to, among other things, authorize four classes of common stock. • The Company’s acquisition of Class A common units and Class C voting units held by certain pre-IPO Dutch Bros OpCo Unitholders in exchange for shares of Class D common stock. • Pre-IPO Dutch Bros OpCo Unitholders’ contribution of Class A common units, Class B voting units, and Class C voting units to the Company in exchange for Class A common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock, respectively. • The Company’s designation as managing member of the Dutch Bros OpCo. • The Company executed two Tax Receivable Agreements (“TRAs”) which provide for payment by the Company to certain Dutch Bros OpCo owners of 85% of the benefits, if any, that the Company would be deemed to realize (calculated using certain assumptions) as a result of certain tax attributes and benefits covered by the TRAs. Following the completion of the Reorganization Transactions and IPO, and as of September 30, 2021, the Company held 100.0% of the voting interest and 28.7% of the economic interest of the Dutch Bros OpCo. The Dutch Bros OpCo members subsequent to the IPO (the "Continuing Members") held none of the voting interest and the remaining 71.3% of the economic interest of the Dutch Bros OpCo. For additional information, see Notes 11 and 12 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Financial Statements Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2021, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, dated September 16, 2021. Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries that it controls due to ownership of a majority voting interest or pursuant to accounting guidance for non-controlling interests. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Reorganization Transactions described above were accounted for consistent with a combination of entities under common control. As a result, the financial reports filed with the SEC by the Company subsequent to the Reorganization Transactions are prepared “as if” the Dutch Bros OpCo is the accounting predecessor of the Company. The historical operations of Dutch Bros OpCo are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Dutch Bros OpCo prior to the Reorganization Transactions; (ii) the consolidated results of the Company and Dutch Bros OpCo following the Reorganization Transactions; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Dutch Bros OpCo and the Company at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented. No step-up basis of intangible assets or goodwill was recorded. Income Taxes The Company is a corporation and sole managing member of Dutch Bros OpCo which is treated as a partnership for tax purposes. In addition to the Company and Dutch Bros OpCo, Dutch Bros OpCo is the sole member of other single member Dutch Bros OpCo entities disregarded for Federal tax purposes, and one corporate subsidiary. For Dutch Bros OpCo, taxable income and the resulting liabilities are allocated among the owners of the entities and reported on the tax filings for those owners. The Company records income tax provision, deferred tax assets, and deferred tax liabilities only for the items for which the Company is responsible for making payments directly to the relevant tax authority. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when such differences are expected to reverse. Such temporary differences are reflected as deferred income tax assets and deferred tax liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. A deferred tax asset is recognized if it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized and, when necessary, a valuation allowance is established. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. The Company is required to identify, evaluate and measure all uncertain tax positions taken or to be taken on tax returns and to record liabilities for the amount of these positions that may not be sustained, or may only partially be sustained, upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities. Although the Company believes that its estimates and judgments were reasonable, actual results may differ from these estimates. Some or all of these judgments are subject to review by the taxing authorities. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from entity level uncertain tax positions if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Use of Estimates The presentation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, primarily related to long-lived asset valuation, leases, temporary equity, and equity-based compensation that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from those estimates. Advertising Expense and Vendor Incentives Advertising costs are expensed as they are incurred. Most franchise shops contribute to an advertising fund that the Company manages on behalf of the shops. Under the franchise agreement, the contributions received must be spent on marketing, creative efforts, media support, or other related purposes specified in the agreement. The expenditures are primarily amounts paid to third parties but may also include personnel expenses and allocated costs. Advertising expense was as follows for the periods presented: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (in thousands) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Advertising expense $ 7,602 $ 4,303 $ 19,948 $ 13,046 The Company has entered into food and beverage supply agreements with certain major vendors. Pursuant to the terms of these arrangements, rebates are provided to the Company from the vendors based upon the dollar value of purchases for company-operated shops and franchised shops. These incentives are recognized as earned throughout the year and are classified as a reduction of cost of sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Vendor incentives recognized in cost of sales were as follows for the periods presented: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (in thousands) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Vendor incentives $ 11,585 $ 7,018 $ 30,348 $ 19,005 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The pronouncement requires lessees to recognize a liability for lease obligations, which represent the discounted obligation to make future minimum lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use asset on the balance sheet. The guidance requires disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements which are intended to give financial statement users the ability to assess the amount, timing, and potential uncertainty of cash flows related to leases. The Company expects to adopt the requirements of the new lease standard effective January 1, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the provisions of the new lease standard, including optional practical expedients, and assessing the Company’s existing lease portfolio in order to determine the impact to its accounting systems, processes and internal control over financial reporting. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets because it will record material assets and obligations for current operating leases. Management is still assessing the expected impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The amendments in this update simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 are to be applied on a prospective basis, and the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For accounts receivable and other financial instruments, the Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Shop Acquisitions	Shop Acquisitions During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company repurchased the franchise rights and assets of seven coffee shops from two separate franchisees in Washington. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased the franchise rights and assets of five shops from a franchisee in Colorado. The following table summarizes the allocations of the purchase prices to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The 2021 acquisitions are considered preliminary and subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition dates): As of (in thousands) September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Acquisition consideration: Purchase price consideration $ 5,387 $ 5,094 Equipment and fixtures 178 314 Building and leasehold improvements 1,425 — Inventories 97 79 Other assets 23 14 Reacquired franchise rights 3,312 3,437 Other liabilities (95) (96) Gift card liability (193) (198) Net assets acquired 4,747 3,550 Goodwill $ 640 $ 1,544 Reacquired franchise rights acquired have weighted-average useful lives of 6.0 and 4.7 years at the time of purchase for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill and is attributable to the benefits expected as a result of the acquisitions, including sales and growth opportunities, and is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is allocated entirely to the Company-operated shops segment. The fair value measurement of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as of the acquisition dates is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement. Fair value measurements for reacquired franchise rights were determined using the income approach. Fair value measurements for property and equipment were determined using the cost approach. The results of operations for the 2021 acquisitions are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations beginning on the date of acquisition. Revenues of approximately $3.3 million and net income of approximately $0.2 million are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The following table reflects the unaudited pro forma results of the Company and the seven shops purchased in 2021 as if the acquisitions had taken place as of January 1, 2020: Nine Months Ended September 30, (in thousands) 2021 2020 Revenue $ 360,041 $ 243,869 Net income (loss) $ (110,959) $ 12,514

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company is the sole managing member of Dutch Bros OpCo, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. As a partnership, Dutch Bros OpCo is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by Dutch Bros OpCo is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including the Company, in accordance with the Amended Dutch Bros OpCo Agreement (as defined in Note 12). The Company is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income of Dutch Bros OpCo. Dutch Bros OpCo is also subject to certain state taxes assessed at the entity level. The Company recorded $(1.3) million and $0 of income tax (benefit) expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $(0.7) million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 1.08% and 0.64% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate is less than the statutory rate of 21% primarily because the Company is not liable for income taxes on the portion of earnings that are attributable to non-controlling interests. As of September 30, 2021, the Company recognized deferred tax assets of approximately $158.7 million, net of a valuation allowance of approximately $0.9 million. The deferred tax assets are primarily due to the tax effects of temporary differences in the book basis as compared to the tax basis of the Company’s investment in Dutch Bros OpCo as a result of the IPO, reorganization transactions, and TRAs. The valuation allowance is primarily related to the Company’s charitable contributions. The Company does not believe it has any significant uncertain tax positions and therefore has no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2021, that if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate. Tax Receivable Agreements In connection with the Reorganization Transactions and the IPO, the Company entered into (i) the Exchange Tax Receivable Agreement with the holders of Class B common stock and Class C common stock (the “Exchange Reorganization Agreement”), and (ii) the Reorganization Tax Receivable Agreement with the holders of Class D common stock (the “Reorganization Tax Receivable Agreement and together with the Exchange Tax Receivable Agreement, the “Tax Receivable Agreements” or “TRAs”). These TRAs provide for the payment by Dutch Bros Inc. or any member of its affiliated, consolidated, combined, or unitary tax group (collectively, the “Dutch Bros Tax Group”) to such Pre-IPO Owners of 85.0% of the benefits, if any, the Dutch Bros Tax Group actually realizes, or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances, as a result of certain tax attributes and benefits covered by the Tax Receivable Agreements. The Exchange Tax Receivable Agreement provides for the payment by members of the Dutch Bros Tax Group to certain Pre-IPO Dutch Bros OpCo Unitholders of 85% of the benefits, if any, that the Dutch Bros Tax Group realizes as a result of (i) the Dutch Bros Tax Group’s allocable share of existing tax basis acquired in the IPO and (ii) increases in the Dutch Bros Tax Group’s allocable share of existing tax basis and tax basis adjustments that will increase the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of the Dutch Bros Tax Group as a result of sales or exchanges of Opco Units for shares of Class A common stock after the IPO, and certain other tax benefits, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Exchange Tax Receivable Agreement. The Reorganization Tax Receivable Agreement provides for the payment by Dutch Bros Inc. to the Pre-IPO Blocker Holders of 85% of the benefits, if any, that the Dutch Bros Tax Group realizes as a result of the Dutch Bros Tax Group’s utilization of certain tax attributes of the Blocker Companies (including the Dutch Bros Tax Group’s allocable share of existing tax basis acquired in the Reorganization Transactions), and certain other tax benefits, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Reorganization Tax Receivable Agreement. The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of any cash savings that it realizes. The Company expects to obtain an increase in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of Dutch Bros OpCo when Dutch Bros OpCo Units are exchanged by Pre-IPO Dutch Bros OpCo Unitholders. The Company intends to treat any redemptions and exchanges of Dutch Bros OpCo Units as direct purchases for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that it would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had a liability of approximately $109.7 million related to its projected obligations under the TRAs in connection with the Reorganization Transactions and OpCo Units exchanged. TRAs-related liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on the expected date of payment and are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets under the captions “Current portion of tax receivable agreements liability” and “Tax receivable agreements liability, net of current portion,” respectively.

Equity [Abstract]
Equity and Stock-Based Compensation	Equity and Stock-Based Compensation Amendment and Restatement of Certificate of Incorporation On September 14, 2021, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to, among other things, provide for the authorization to issue five classes of stock, designated as follows: (in thousands, except per share amounts) Class of Stock Authorized Shares Par Value Per Share Preferred stock 20,000 $0.00001 Class A common stock 400,000 $0.00001 Class B common stock 144,000 $0.00001 Class C common stock 105,000 $0.00001 Class D common stock 42,000 $0.00001 Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share, Class B common stockholders are entitled to ten votes per share, and Class C and D common stockholders are entitled to three votes per share. All holders of outstanding shares of common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote, except as otherwise required. The Company has no current plans to pay dividends on Class A common stock or Class D common stock. Holders of Class B common stock and Class C common stock do not have any right to receive dividends, or to receive a distribution upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company with respect to their Class B common stock and Class C common stock. The declaration, amount, and payment of any future dividends on shares of Class A common stock or Class D common stock will be at the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors. The Company must, at all times, maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock and the number of Dutch Bros OpCo Units owned by the Company (subject to certain exceptions for treasury shares and shares underlying certain convertible or exchangeable securities). Initial Public Offering As described in Note 1, on September 17, 2021, the Company completed its IPO in which it issued and sold approximately 24.2 million shares of Class A common stock (including approximately 3.2 million shares sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters option to purchase additional shares) at an offering price of $23.00 per share, resulting in proceeds of approximately $520.8 million, net of offering costs. The proceeds were used to purchase approximately 10.9 million newly-issued Class A common units from Dutch Bros OpCo for approximately $234.4 million. The proceeds were also used to purchase approximately 11.7 million Class A common units from the Continuing Members for approximately $253.3 million, and approximately 1.6 million shares of Class D common stock from the Pre-IPO Blocker Holders for approximately $34.4 million. In connection with the IPO, the Company issued approximately 64.7 million shares of Class B common stock and approximately 49.0 million shares of Class C common stock to the Continuing Members. LLC Recapitalization As described in Note 1, on September 14, 2021, the Company amended and restated the Second Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Dutch Bros OpCo Agreement”) to, among other things, effect a recapitalization in which (i) the outstanding common units were converted into Class A common units paired with an equal number of either Class B voting units or Class C voting units, and (ii) the outstanding Profits Interest (“PI”) Units were converted into Class A common units. Subsequent to the amendment and Reorganization Transactions, approximately 152.4 million Dutch Bros OpCo Class A common units were outstanding, of which approximately 6.5% were held by the Company, and the remaining 93.5% were held by the Continuing Members. Reorganization Transactions Pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Amended Dutch Bros OpCo Agreement”) between the Company and the Continuing Members, the Continuing Members have the right, from time to time and subject to the terms of the Amended Dutch Bros OpCo Agreement, to exchange their Class A common units, along with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock or Class C common stock, for shares of Class A common stock (or cash at the option of the Company which is required to come from a follow-on equity offering) on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and similar transactions. In connection with any exchange of Class A common units for shares of Class A common stock by a Continuing Member, the number of Class A common units held by the Company is correspondingly increased as it acquires the exchanged Class A common units, and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock or Class C common stock are canceled. In connection with the IPO, certain existing holders of Class A common units exercised their exchange rights and exchanged approximately 11.7 million Class A common units for cash. Simultaneously, and in connection with these exchanges, approximately 6.7 million shares of Class B common stock and approximately 5.1 million shares of Class C common stock were surrendered by Class A common units holders and canceled. Additionally, in connection with these exchanges, the Company received approximately 11.7 million Class A common units, increasing its total ownership interest in Dutch Bros OpCo. As a result of the above transactions, as of September 30, 2021: • Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class D common stock owned approximately 34.4 million shares and 15.4 million shares, respectively, representing a combined 9.2% of the voting power in the Company and, through the Company, approximately 45.9 million Class A common units representing 28.7% of the economic interest in Dutch Bros OpCo; and • the Continuing Members collectively owned approximately 113.7 million Class A common units, representing 71.3% of the economic interest in the Dutch Bros OpCo, approximately 64.7 million shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, and approximately 49.0 million shares of the Company’s Class C common stock, representing a combined 90.8% of the voting power in the Company. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan In August 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), and the stockholders approved the 2021 Plan, effective upon the execution of the underwriting agreement for the Company’s IPO. The 2021 Plan provides for potential grants of the following awards with respect to shares of the Company’s Class A common stock: (i) incentive stock options (“ISOs”) qualified as such under U.S. federal income tax laws; (ii) non-qualified stock options (“NSOs”); (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock awards; (v) restricted stock units; (vi) performance-based awards, and (vii) other awards as determined by the compensation committee of the Board or any properly delegated subcommittee. The maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2021 Plan shall not exceed approximately 17.0 million shares. The number of shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year, beginning on January 1, 2022, and continuing through and including January 1, 2031, by (i) 1% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock of all classes issued and outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year, or (ii) a lesser number of shares determined by the Board prior to the applicable January 1. The maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs under the 2021 Plan is approximately 51.1 million shares. In connection with the Reorganization Transactions and the IPO, approximately 0.8 million PI Units held directly by employees of the Company were converted into approximately 9.8 million restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), based on their respective participation thresholds and the IPO price of $23.00 per share. As of the IPO date, approximately 5.8 million of the total 9.8 million RSAs were vested, including approximately 3.4 million performance-based RSAs, which resulted in the Company incurring incremental stock-based compensation expense of approximately $78.6 million. The remaining 4.0 million unvested time-based RSAs issued upon the conversion remain, in general, subject to the same service vesting requirements of the original PI Units. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had equity-based compensation awards outstanding consisting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Unless indicated otherwise, the equity-based compensation awards described below are subject to time-based service requirements. The service vesting condition is currently over three years on a straight-line basis. Restricted Stock Awards Activity for the Company’s RSAs was as follows: (in thousands, except per share amounts) Restricted Stock Awards Weighted-average grant date fair value per share Balance, December 31, 2020 — $ — Effect of Reorganization Transactions and IPO 9,834 23.00 Vestings (5,834) 23.00 Balance, September 30, 2021 4,000 $ 23.00 Restricted Stock Units Activity for the Company’s RSUs was as follows: (in thousands, except per share amounts) Restricted Stock Units Weighted-average grant date fair value per share Balance, December 31, 2020 — $ — Effect of Reorganization Transactions and IPO 1,189 43.55 Vestings (592) 43.55 Balance, September 30, 2021 597 $ 43.55 During the three and nine months September 30, 2021, the total fair value of RSAs and RSUs vested was approximately $134.2 million and $25.8 million, respectively.

Non-Controlling Interests	Non-Controlling Interests The Company is the sole managing member of Dutch Bros OpCo, and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of Dutch Bros OpCo. The Company reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in the Dutch Bros OpCo held by the other members of Dutch Bros OpCo. The Dutch Bros OpCo Agreement provides that holders of OpCo Units may, from time to time, require Dutch Bros OpCo to redeem all or a portion of its OpCo Units for newly-issued shares of Class A common shares on a one-for-one basis. In connection with any redemption or exchange, the Company will receive a corresponding number of OpCo Units, increasing the Company’s total ownership in Dutch Bros OpCo. Changes in the Company’s ownership in Dutch Bros OpCo while the Company retains its controlling interest in Dutch Bros OpCo will be accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of OpCo Units in Dutch Bros OpCo by the other members of Dutch Bros OpCo will result in a change in ownership and reduce the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and increase additional paid-in-capital. On September 17, 2021, the Company completed its IPO of approximately 24.2 million shares of new Class A common shares, resulting in approximately $520.8 million of proceeds, net of offering costs. The proceeds were used to purchase approximately 10.9 million newly-issued Class A common units from Dutch Bros OpCo for approximately $234.4 million. The proceeds were also used to purchase approximately 11.7 million Class A common units from the Continuing Members for approximately $253.3 million, and approximately 1.6 million shares of Class D common stock from the Pre-IPO Blocker Holders for approximately $34.4 million. The following table summarizes the ownership interest in Dutch Bros OpCo as of September 30, 2021. September 30, 2021 (in thousands) OpCo Units Ownership % Class A common units held by Dutch Bros Inc. 45,874 28.7 % Class A common units held by non-controlling interest holders 113,705 71.3 % Total Class A common units outstanding 159,579 100.0 % The weighted-average ownership percentage for the applicable reporting period is used to attribute net income (loss) to Dutch Bros Inc. and the non-controlling interest holders. The non-controlling interest holders’ weighted-average ownership percentage for the period from the September 15, 2021 IPO date to September 30, 2021 was 81.9%. The following table summarizes the effect of changes in ownership of Dutch Bros OpCo on the Company’s equity: (in thousands) Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Net loss attributable to Dutch Bros Inc. $ (6,738) Transfers to non-controlling interests: Decrease in additional paid-in capital as a result of the Reorganization Transactions (178,474) Decrease in additional paid-in capital as a result of the purchase of Dutch Bros OpCo common units (257,278) Change from net loss attributable to Dutch Bros Inc. and transfers to $ (442,490)

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings (Loss) per Share	Earnings (Loss) per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share of Class A and Class D common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Dutch Bros Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A and Class D common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A and Class D common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Dutch Bros Inc., adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive instruments for Class A common stock, by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A and Class D common stock outstanding, adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive elements. Share counts used in the diluted earnings per share calculations are adjusted for the deemed repurchases provided for in the treasury stock method. Prior to the IPO, the Dutch Bros OpCo membership structure included common units, redeemable common units, and PI units. The Company analyzed the calculation of earnings (loss) per unit for periods prior to the IPO and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, earnings (loss) per unit information has not been presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A and Class D common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The basic and diluted loss per share period for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflects only the period from September 14, 2021 to September 30, 2021, which represents the period from the IPO date during which the Company had outstanding Class A and Class D common stock.

Shares of the Company’s Class B and Class C common stock do not participate in the earnings or losses of Dutch Bros Inc. and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class B and Class C common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Purchase Obligations The Company enters into fixed-price and price-to-be fixed green coffee purchase commitments. For both fixed-price and price-to-be fixed purchase commitments, the Company expects to take delivery of green coffee and to utilize the coffee in a reasonable period of time in the ordinary course of business. Such contracts are used in the normal purchases of green coffee and not for speculative purposes. The Company does not enter into futures contracts or other derivative instruments. Guarantees The Company periodically provides guarantees to franchisees for lease payments. Annually, the Company determines if a liability needs to be recorded related to these guarantees. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has guaranteed approximately $1.8 million in franchisee lease payments and has not established a liability for these guarantees as any liability arising from the guarantees is not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Legal Proceedings The Company is a party to legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. These claims, legal proceedings and litigation principally arise from alleged casualty, employment, and other disputes. In determining loss contingencies, the Company considers the likelihood of loss as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of such loss or liability. An estimated loss is recognized when it is considered probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. While any claim, proceeding or litigation has an element of uncertainty, the Company believes the outcome of any of these that are pending or threatened will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting Segment information is prepared on the same basis that the Company’s chief executive officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), manages the segments, evaluates financial results and makes key operating decisions. The CODM reviews segment performance and allocates resources based upon segment contribution, which is defined as segment gross profit before depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of the Company’s unallocated corporate expenses. Unallocated corporate expenses include corporate administrative functions that support the segments but are not directly attributable to or managed by any segment and are not included in the reported financial results of the segments. No changes have been made to the Company’s segments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Financial information for the Company’s reportable segments was as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (in thousands) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Revenues: Company-operated shops $ 108,661 $ 66,695 $ 289,548 $ 175,767 Franchising and other 21,142 19,963 68,248 61,750 Total revenues 129,803 86,658 357,796 237,517 Cost of Sales: Company-operated shops 85,853 47,374 220,510 129,392 Franchising and other 5,207 5,128 19,359 18,039 Total cost of sales 91,060 52,502 239,869 147,431 Segment contribution: Company-operated shops 27,102 21,885 80,076 53,282 Franchising and other 17,638 15,991 53,617 46,840 Total segment contribution $ 44,740 $ 37,876 $ 133,693 $ 100,122 Depreciation and amortization: Company-operated shops 4,294 2,564 11,038 6,907 Franchising and other 1,703 1,156 4,728 3,129 Total depreciation and amortization 5,997 3,720 15,766 10,036 Selling, general and administrative (153,727) (26,197) (223,595) (74,497) Interest expense, net (2,393) (950) (5,248) (2,650) Other expense, net (1,041) (353) (1,099) (669) Income (loss) before income taxes $ (118,418) $ 6,656 $ (112,015) $ 12,270

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Financial Statements Presentation	Financial Statements Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2021, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, dated September 16, 2021.
Principals of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries that it controls due to ownership of a majority voting interest or pursuant to accounting guidance for non-controlling interests. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Reorganization Transactions described above were accounted for consistent with a combination of entities under common control. As a result, the financial reports filed with the SEC by the Company subsequent to the Reorganization Transactions are prepared “as if” the Dutch Bros OpCo is the accounting predecessor of the Company. The historical operations of Dutch Bros OpCo are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Dutch Bros OpCo prior to the Reorganization Transactions; (ii) the consolidated results of the Company and Dutch Bros OpCo following the Reorganization Transactions; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Dutch Bros OpCo and the Company at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented. No step-up basis of intangible assets or goodwill was recorded.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company is a corporation and sole managing member of Dutch Bros OpCo which is treated as a partnership for tax purposes. In addition to the Company and Dutch Bros OpCo, Dutch Bros OpCo is the sole member of other single member Dutch Bros OpCo entities disregarded for Federal tax purposes, and one corporate subsidiary. For Dutch Bros OpCo, taxable income and the resulting liabilities are allocated among the owners of the entities and reported on the tax filings for those owners. The Company records income tax provision, deferred tax assets, and deferred tax liabilities only for the items for which the Company is responsible for making payments directly to the relevant tax authority. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when such differences are expected to reverse. Such temporary differences are reflected as deferred income tax assets and deferred tax liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. A deferred tax asset is recognized if it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized and, when necessary, a valuation allowance is established. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. The Company is required to identify, evaluate and measure all uncertain tax positions taken or to be taken on tax returns and to record liabilities for the amount of these positions that may not be sustained, or may only partially be sustained, upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities. Although the Company believes that its estimates and judgments were reasonable, actual results may differ from these estimates. Some or all of these judgments are subject to review by the taxing authorities. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from entity level uncertain tax positions if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The presentation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, primarily related to long-lived asset valuation, leases, temporary equity, and equity-based compensation that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Advertising Expense	Advertising Expense and Vendor IncentivesAdvertising costs are expensed as they are incurred. Most franchise shops contribute to an advertising fund that the Company manages on behalf of the shops. Under the franchise agreement, the contributions received must be spent on marketing, creative efforts, media support, or other related purposes specified in the agreement. The expenditures are primarily amounts paid to third parties but may also include personnel expenses and allocated costs.
Vendor incentives	The Company has entered into food and beverage supply agreements with certain major vendors. Pursuant to the terms of these arrangements, rebates are provided to the Company from the vendors based upon the dollar value of purchases for company-operated shops and franchised shops. These incentives are recognized as earned throughout the year and are classified as a reduction of cost of sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The pronouncement requires lessees to recognize a liability for lease obligations, which represent the discounted obligation to make future minimum lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use asset on the balance sheet. The guidance requires disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements which are intended to give financial statement users the ability to assess the amount, timing, and potential uncertainty of cash flows related to leases. The Company expects to adopt the requirements of the new lease standard effective January 1, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the provisions of the new lease standard, including optional practical expedients, and assessing the Company’s existing lease portfolio in order to determine the impact to its accounting systems, processes and internal control over financial reporting. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets because it will record material assets and obligations for current operating leases. Management is still assessing the expected impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The amendments in this update simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 are to be applied on a prospective basis, and the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For accounts receivable and other financial instruments, the Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements	The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, for which the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term maturity. The fair value of the Company’s variable-rate revolving loans approximates their carrying amounts as the Company’s cost of borrowing is variable and approximates current market rates.
