Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Organization Drive Thru commenced operations in 1986 and, as of September 26, 2017, operates twenty-one company-owned and seven joint venture drive-thru fast food hamburger restaurants under the name Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard. Drive Thru BD of Colorado, LLC commenced operations in 2013 and, as of September 26, 2017, operates thirteen company-owned full-service upscale casual dining restaurants under the name Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar, twelve of which are located in Colorado and one is located in Norman, Oklahoma. BDI and BDFD were acquired on May 7, 2015. As of September 26, 2017, BDI operates four company-owned and five joint venture full-service upscale casual dining restaurants, also under the name Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar, all of which are located in North Carolina. BDFD has one franchise operating in South Carolina. We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, commonly referred to as the “FASB”. The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Fiscal Year Fiscal year 2017 began September 28, 2016 and ended September 26, 2017, fiscal year 2016 began October 1, 2015 and ended September 27, 2016. Fiscal 2017 included more operating days than the comparable prior fiscal year. Principles of Consolidation seven Advertising Costs Accounting Estimates Cash and Cash Equivalents Accounts Receivable Inventories Property and Equipment Assets are classified as held for sale if they meet the criteria outlined in ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. We have classified $1,221,000 of assets as held for sale at September 26, 2017 which are related to an existing Good Times restaurant in Brighton, Colorado. Subsequent to the fiscal year end the assets were sold in a sale-leaseback transaction with net proceeds of approximately $1,390,000. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and expenditures for major improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired, or otherwise disposed of, the property accounts are relieved of costs and accumulated depreciation with any resulting gain or loss credited or charged to income. Trademarks Goodwill Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Based upon the process described above, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $219,000 in fiscal 2017 as a result of the current and projected future results of one Good Times restaurant. The company did not recognize an impairment charge in fiscal 2016. Sales of Restaurants and Restaurant Equity Interests The Company accounts for the sale of restaurants when the risks and other incidents of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Specifically, a) no continuing involvement by the Company exists in restaurants that are sold, b) sales contracts and related income recognition are not dependent on the future successful operations of the sold restaurants, and c) the Company is not involved as a guarantor on the purchasers’ debts. Deferred Liabilities Lease incentives are recorded as a deferred liability when received and subsequently credited to rent expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. The balance of the lease incentive obligations at September 27, 2016 was $3,800,000 and is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as a deferred liability. Also included in the $5,614,000 deferred and other liabilities balance are other long-term liabilities of $10,000 and a $ 155,000 Revenue Recognition Franchise and Area Development Fees: Individual franchise fee revenue is deferred when received and is recognized as income when the Company has substantially performed all of its obligations under the franchise agreement and the franchisee has commenced operations. The Company’s commitments and obligations pursuant to the franchise agreements consist of a) development assistance; including site selection, building specifications and equipment purchasing and b) operating assistance; including training of personnel and preparation and distribution of manuals and operating materials. All of these obligations are effectively complete upon the opening of the restaurant at which time the franchise fee and the portion of any development fee allocable to that restaurant is recognized. There are no additional material commitments or obligations. The Company has not recognized any franchise fees that have not been collected. The Company segregates initial franchise fees from other franchise revenue in the statement of operations. Revenues and costs related to company-owned restaurants are segregated from revenues and costs related to franchised restaurants in the statement of operations. Continuing royalties from franchisees, which are a percentage of the gross sales of franchised operations, are recognized as income when earned. Franchise development expenses, which consist primarily of legal costs and restaurant opening expenses associated with developing and opening franchise restaurants, are expensed against the related franchise fee income. Preopening Costs Income Taxes The Company is subject to taxation in various jurisdictions. The Company continues to remain subject to examination by U.S. federal authorities for the years 2014 through 2017 and several state authorities for 2013 through 2017. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. The Company's practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. No accrual for interest and penalties was considered necessary as of September 26, 2017. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments potentially subjecting the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of receivables. At September 27, 2016 notes receivable totaled $59,000 and is due from three entities. Additionally, the Company has other current receivables totaling $573,000, which includes $68,000 of franchise receivables, $344,000 related to lease incentives and $161,000 for miscellaneous receivables which are all due in the normal course of business. The Company believes it will collect fully on all notes and receivables. The Company purchases most of its restaurant food and paper from two vendors. The Company believes a sufficient number of other suppliers exist from which food and paper could be purchased to prevent any long-term, adverse consequences. The Company operates in one industry segment, restaurants. A geographic concentration exists because the Company’s customers are generally located in the Colorado and North Carolina. Stock-Based Compensation Variable Interest Entities Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value and requires that the assets or liabilities carried at fair value are disclosed by the input level under which they were valued. Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2: Observable inputs other than defined in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by observable market data. Non-controlling Interests Our non-controlling interests consist of one joint venture partnership involving Good Times restaurants and six joint venture partnerships involving Bad Daddy’s restaurants. Three of the six Bad Daddy’s joint venture partnerships were established in fiscal 2017 to fund the construction of Bad Daddy’s restaurants in North Carolina. Two of the restaurants opened in fiscal 2017 and one opened subsequent to the fiscal year end, on October 9, 2017. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, (ASU 2016-02), which replaces the existing guidance in Accounting Standard Codification 840, Leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-02 This pronouncement requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations, but expect that it will result in a significant increase in our long-term assets and liabilities given we have a significant number of leases. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” (ASU 2016-09). ASU 2016-09 includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The areas for simplification include income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” This pronouncement provides clarity in guidance in the instance of a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. Both pronouncements are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial position or results from operations . In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which eliminates Step 2 from the impairment test applied to goodwill. Under the new standard, goodwill impairment tests will compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill. This pronouncement is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied on a prospective basis. We do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial position or results from operations.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	5. Commitments and Contingencies As of September 26, 2017, the Company had total commitments outstanding of $558,000 related to construction contracts for Bad Daddy’s restaurants currently under development. We anticipate these commitments will be funded out of existing cash or future borrowings against the Cadence Bank credit facility. The Company’s office space, and the land and buildings related to the Drive Thru and Bad Daddy’s restaurant facilities are classified as operating leases and expire over the next 17 years. Some leases contain escalation clauses over the lives of the leases. Most of the leases contain one to three five-year renewal options at the end of the initial term. Certain leases include provisions for additional contingent rent payments if sales volumes exceed specified levels. The Company paid $55,000 and $74,000 in contingent rentals for fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016, respectively. Following is a summary of operating lease activity for the fiscal years ended September 26, 2017 and September 27, 2016: 2017 2016 Minimum rentals $ 4,755 $ 4,084 Less sublease rentals (388 ) (383 ) Net rent paid $ 4,367 $ 3,701 As of September 26, 2017, future minimum rental commitments required under the Company’s operating leases that have initial or remaining non-cancellable lease terms in excess of one year are as follows: Years Ending September, 2018 $ 5,763 2019 5,543 2020 4,944 2021 4,481 2022 4,355 Thereafter 17,291 42,377 Less sublease rentals (1,147 ) $ 41,230 The Company is contingently liable on the sublease rentals disclosed above. The subleased and assigned leases expire between 2018 and 2024. In the past the Company has never been required to pay any significant amount in connection with its guarantees and currently we have not been notified nor are we aware of any leases in default by the franchisees, however there can be no assurance that there will not be such defaults in the future which could have a material effect on our future operating results.

The Company has net operating loss carry-forwards available for future periods, as discussed below, of approximately $3,057,000 from 2017, $1,915,000 from 2015, and $5,713,000 from 2014 and prior for income tax purposes which expire from 2025 through 2037. Based on the change in control, which occurred in 2011, the utilization of the loss carry-forwards incurred for periods prior to 2012 is limited to approximately $160,000 per year. The Company has general business tax credits of $1,378,000 from 2015 through 2017 which expire from 2034 through 2037. The Company continually reveiws the realizability of its deferred tax assets, including an analysis of factors such as future taxable income, reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. The Company assessed whether a valuation allowance should be recorded against its deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence, using a “more likely than not” standard. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. In making such assessment, more weight was given to evidence that could be objectively verified, including recent cumulative losses. Future sources of taxable income were also considered in determining the amount of the recorded valuation allowance. Based on the Company’s review of this evidence, management determined that a full valuation allowance against all of the Company’s deferred tax assets was appropriate. Total income tax expense for the years ended September 26, 2017 and September 27, 2016 differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. Federal statutory tax rates to pre-tax income as follows: 2017 2016 Total expense (benefit) computed by applying the U.S. Statutory rate (35%) $ (789 ) $ (462 ) State income tax, net of federal tax benefit (68 ) (40 ) FICA/WOTC tax credits (432 ) (272 ) Expiration of net operating loss carry-forward 0 0 Effect of change in valuation allowance 1,194 723 Permanent differences 119 120 Other (24 ) (69 ) Provision for income taxes $ 0 $ 0

Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders' Equity	12 Months Ended

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	7. Stockholders’ Equity Preferred Stock The Company has the authority to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue such preferred shares in series and determine the rights and preferences of the shares as may be determined by the Board of Directors. Common Stock The Company has the authority to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001, as of September 26, 2017 there were 12,427,280 shares outstanding. Stock Plans The Company has an Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2008 Plan”), approved by shareholders in fiscal 2008, which is the successor equity compensation plan to the Company’s 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Plan”). Pursuant to stockholder approval in September 2012, February 2014 and February 2016 the total number of shares available for issuance under the 2008 Plan was increased to 1,500,000. As of September 26, 2017, 225,195 shares were available for future grants of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and stock-based awards. The 2008 Plan serves as the successor to our 2001 Plan, as amended (the “Predecessor Plan”), and no further awards shall be made under the Predecessor Plan from and after the effective date of the 2008 Plan. All outstanding awards under the Predecessor Plan immediately prior to the effective date of the 2008 Plan shall be incorporated into the 2008 Plan and shall accordingly be treated as awards under the 2008 Plan. However, each such award shall continue to be governed solely by the terms and conditions of the instrument evidencing such grant or issuance, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in the 2008 Plan or by the Committee that administers the 2008 Plan, no provision of the 2008 Plan shall affect or otherwise modify the rights or obligations of holders of such incorporated awards. Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). The Company recorded $748,000 and $718,000 in total stock option and restricted stock compensation expense during fiscal years 2017 and 2016, respectively, that was classified as general and administrative costs . Stock Option Awards The Company measures the compensation cost associated with stock option awards by estimating the fair value of the award as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair values of the Company’s stock options and stock awards granted during fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by the employees who receive equity awards. During the fiscal year ended September 26, 2017, the Company granted a total of 163,992 incentive stock options, from available shares under its 2008 Plan, as amended, with exercise prices between $3.05 and $3.45 and per-share weighted average fair values between $2.17 and $2.49. During the fiscal year ended September 27, 2016, the Company granted a total of 22,686 non-statutory stock options and a total of 72,178 incentive stock options, from available shares under its 2008 Plan, as amended, with exercise prices between of $4.04 and $6.23 and per-share weighted average fair values between $2.85 and $4.52. In addition to the exercise and grant date prices of the stock option awards, certain weighted average assumptions that were used to estimate the fair value of stock option grants are listed in the following table: Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock Options Fiscal 2017 Fiscal 2016 Expected term (years) 6.5 to 7.5 6.5 to 7.5 Expected volatility 75.38% to 80.70% 79.75% to 89.08% Risk-free interest rate 1.49% to 2.40% 1.35% to 2.07% Expected dividends 0 0 We estimate expected volatility based on historical weekly price changes of our common stock for a period equal to the current expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States treasury yields in effect at the time of grant corresponding with the expected term of the options. The expected option term is the number of years we estimate that options will be outstanding prior to exercise considering vesting schedules and our historical exercise patterns. The following table summarizes stock option activity for fiscal year 2017 under all plans: Shares Weighted Exercise Price Weighted Contractual Life (Yrs.) Outstanding-beg of year 586,082 $ 4.99 Options granted 163,992 $ 3.15 Options exercised 0 Forfeited (52,936 ) $ 4.74 Expired (15,216 ) $ 19.14 Outstanding Sept 26, 2017 681,922 $ 4.25 6.7 Exercisable Sept 26, 2017 430,503 $ 4.04 5.6 As of September 26, 2017, the aggregate intrinsic value of the outstanding and exercisable options was $168,000. Only options whose exercise price is below the current market price of the underlying stock are included in the intrinsic value calculation. As of September 26, 2017, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was $535,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.88 years. There were no stock options exercised during the fiscal year ended September 26, 2017 and there were 19,531 stock options exercised during the fiscal year ended September 27, 2016 with proceeds of $39,000. Restricted Stock Grants During the fiscal year 2017, the Company granted a total of 103,440 shares of restricted stock from available shares under its 2008 Plan, as amended. The shares were issued with grant date fair market values of $3.15 and $3.20 which is equal to the closing price of the stock on the date of the grants. The restricted stock grants vest between three months and three years following the grant date. During the fiscal year 2016, the Company granted a total of 44,755 shares of restricted stock to certain employees and executive officers from available shares under its 2008 Plan, as amended. The shares were issued with a grant date fair market values of $4.18, which is equal to the closing price of the stock on the date of the grant. The restricted stock grants vest over three years following the grant date. A summary of the status of non-vested restricted stock as of September 26, 2017 and changes during fiscal 2017 is presented below: Shares Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Non-vested shares at beg of year 180,916 $3.23 to $8.60 Granted 103,440 $3.15 to $3.20 Forfeited (24,662 ) $3.15 to $8.23 Vested (144,655 ) $3.20 to $4.18 Non-vested shares at Sept 26, 2017 115,039 $3.15 to $8.60 As of September 26, 2017, there was $261,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.45 years. Non-controlling Interests The equity interests of the unrelated limited partners and members are shown on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in the stockholders’ equity section as a non-controlling interest and is adjusted each period to reflect the limited partners’ and members’ share of the net income or loss as well as any cash distributions to the limited partners and members for the period. The limited partners’ and members’ share of the net income or loss in the partnership is shown as non-controlling interest income or expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated. The following table summarizes the activity in non-controlling interests during the year ended September 26, 2017 (in thousands): Good Times Bad Daddy’s Total Balance at September 27, 2016 $ 356 $ 1,364 $ 1,720 Income $ 374 $ 276 $ 650 Contributions $ 0 $ 1,421 $ 1,421 Distributions $ (296 ) $ (747 ) $ (1,043 ) Acquisition of non-controlling interest $ 0 $ (35 ) $ (35 ) Balance at September 26, 2017 $ 434 $ 2,279 $ 2,713 Our non-controlling interests consist of one joint venture partnership involving Good Times restaurants and six joint venture partnerships involving Bad Daddy’s restaurants. Three of the six Bad Daddy’s joint venture partnerships were established in fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2017 to fund the construction of Bad Daddy’s restaurants in North Carolina. Two of the restaurants opened in fiscal 2017 and one opened subsequent to the fiscal year end, on October 9, 2017.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	Organization Drive Thru commenced operations in 1986 and, as of September 26, 2017, operates twenty-one company-owned and seven joint venture drive-thru fast food hamburger restaurants under the name Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard. Drive Thru BD of Colorado, LLC commenced operations in 2013 and, as of September 26, 2017, operates thirteen company-owned full-service upscale casual dining restaurants under the name Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar, twelve of which are located in Colorado and one is located in Norman, Oklahoma. BDI and BDFD were acquired on May 7, 2015. As of September 26, 2017, BDI operates four company-owned and five joint venture full-service upscale casual dining restaurants, also under the name Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar, all of which are located in North Carolina. BDFD has one franchise operating in South Carolina. We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, commonly referred to as the “FASB”. The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year Fiscal year 2017 began September 28, 2016 and ended September 26, 2017, fiscal year 2016 began October 1, 2015 and ended September 27, 2016. Fiscal 2017 included more operating days than the comparable prior fiscal year.

Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Assets are classified as held for sale if they meet the criteria outlined in ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. We have classified $1,221,000 of assets as held for sale at September 26, 2017 which are related to an existing Good Times restaurant in Brighton, Colorado. Subsequent to the fiscal year end the assets were sold in a sale-leaseback transaction with net proceeds of approximately $1,390,000. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and expenditures for major improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired, or otherwise disposed of, the property accounts are relieved of costs and accumulated depreciation with any resulting gain or loss credited or charged to income.
Trademarks	Trademarks
Goodwill	Goodwill
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Based upon the process described above, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $219,000 in fiscal 2017 as a result of the current and projected future results of one Good Times restaurant. The company did not recognize an impairment charge in fiscal 2016.
Sales of Restaurants and Restaurant Equity Interests	Sales of Restaurants and Restaurant Equity Interests The Company accounts for the sale of restaurants when the risks and other incidents of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Specifically, a) no continuing involvement by the Company exists in restaurants that are sold, b) sales contracts and related income recognition are not dependent on the future successful operations of the sold restaurants, and c) the Company is not involved as a guarantor on the purchasers’ debts.
Deferred Liabilities	Deferred Liabilities Lease incentives are recorded as a deferred liability when received and subsequently credited to rent expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. The balance of the lease incentive obligations at September 27, 2016 was $3,800,000 and is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as a deferred liability. Also included in the $5,614,000 deferred and other liabilities balance are other long-term liabilities of $10,000 and a $ 155,000
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Franchise and Area Development Fees: Individual franchise fee revenue is deferred when received and is recognized as income when the Company has substantially performed all of its obligations under the franchise agreement and the franchisee has commenced operations. The Company’s commitments and obligations pursuant to the franchise agreements consist of a) development assistance; including site selection, building specifications and equipment purchasing and b) operating assistance; including training of personnel and preparation and distribution of manuals and operating materials. All of these obligations are effectively complete upon the opening of the restaurant at which time the franchise fee and the portion of any development fee allocable to that restaurant is recognized. There are no additional material commitments or obligations. The Company has not recognized any franchise fees that have not been collected. The Company segregates initial franchise fees from other franchise revenue in the statement of operations. Revenues and costs related to company-owned restaurants are segregated from revenues and costs related to franchised restaurants in the statement of operations. Continuing royalties from franchisees, which are a percentage of the gross sales of franchised operations, are recognized as income when earned. Franchise development expenses, which consist primarily of legal costs and restaurant opening expenses associated with developing and opening franchise restaurants, are expensed against the related franchise fee income.
Preopening Costs	Preopening Costs
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company is subject to taxation in various jurisdictions. The Company continues to remain subject to examination by U.S. federal authorities for the years 2014 through 2017 and several state authorities for 2013 through 2017. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. The Company's practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. No accrual for interest and penalties was considered necessary as of September 26, 2017.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share	Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk	Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments potentially subjecting the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of receivables. At September 27, 2016 notes receivable totaled $59,000 and is due from three entities. Additionally, the Company has other current receivables totaling $573,000, which includes $68,000 of franchise receivables, $344,000 related to lease incentives and $161,000 for miscellaneous receivables which are all due in the normal course of business. The Company believes it will collect fully on all notes and receivables. The Company purchases most of its restaurant food and paper from two vendors. The Company believes a sufficient number of other suppliers exist from which food and paper could be purchased to prevent any long-term, adverse consequences. The Company operates in one industry segment, restaurants. A geographic concentration exists because the Company’s customers are generally located in the Colorado and North Carolina.

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2: Observable inputs other than defined in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by observable market data.
Non-controlling Interests	Non-controlling Interests Our non-controlling interests consist of one joint venture partnership involving Good Times restaurants and six joint venture partnerships involving Bad Daddy’s restaurants. Three of the six Bad Daddy’s joint venture partnerships were established in fiscal 2017 to fund the construction of Bad Daddy’s restaurants in North Carolina. Two of the restaurants opened in fiscal 2017 and one opened subsequent to the fiscal year end, on October 9, 2017.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, (ASU 2016-02), which replaces the existing guidance in Accounting Standard Codification 840, Leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-02 This pronouncement requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations, but expect that it will result in a significant increase in our long-term assets and liabilities given we have a significant number of leases. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” (ASU 2016-09). ASU 2016-09 includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The areas for simplification include income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” This pronouncement provides clarity in guidance in the instance of a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. Both pronouncements are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial position or results from operations . In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which eliminates Step 2 from the impairment test applied to goodwill. Under the new standard, goodwill impairment tests will compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill. This pronouncement is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied on a prospective basis. We do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial position or results from operations.
