Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Note 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Good Times Restaurants Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bad Daddy’s International, LLC (“BDI”), BD of Colorado, LLC (“BD of Colo”), Bad Daddy’s Franchise Development, LLC (“BDFD”), and Good Times Drive Thru, Inc. (“Drive Thru”), (together referred to as the “Company”, “we” or “us”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. BD of Colo was formed by Good Times Restaurants Inc. in 2013 to develop Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar restaurants in the state of Colorado. Subsequently, BDI and BDFD were acquired by Good Times Restaurants Inc. on May 7, 2015. Combined, these entities compose our Bad Daddy’s operating segment, which as of December 31, 2019, operates thirty-two company-owned and five joint-venture full-service small-box casual dining restaurants under the name Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar, primarily located in Colorado and in the Southeast region of the United States, franchises one restaurant in South Carolina, and licenses the Bad Daddy’s brand for use at an airport Bad Daddy’s restaurant under third-party operations and ownership. Drive Thru commenced operations in 1986 and as of December 31, 2019, operates eighteen Company-owned and seven joint-venture drive-thru fast food hamburger restaurants under the name Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard, all of which are located in Colorado. In addition, Drive Thru has eight franchisee-owned restaurants, with six operating in Colorado and two in Wyoming. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices of the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all of the normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2019 and December 25, 2018. Operating results for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 29, 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 24, 2019 is derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2019.

Updates to Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Updates to Significant Accounting Policies Leases On September 25, 2019, the first day of fiscal year 2020, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." As a result, the Company updated its significant accounting policy for leases. For the impact of the adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements see Note 3, Recent Accounting Pronouncements and for additional information about our lease arrangements see Note 11, Leases in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. The Company's material long-term operating lease agreements are for the land and buildings for our restaurants as well as our corporate office. The lease term begins on the date that the Company takes possession under the lease, including the pre-opening period during construction, when in most cases the Company is not making rent payments (“Rent Holiday”). Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date for material leases with a term of greater than 12 months. Operating lease liabilities represent the present value of future minimum lease payments. Since our leases do not provide an implicit rate, our operating lease liabilities are calculated using our estimated incremental borrowing rate based on a collateralized borrowing over the term of each individual lease. Minimum lease payments include only fixed lease components of the agreement, as well as variable rate payments that depend on an index, initially measured using the index at the lease commencement date. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepaid or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs and lease incentives. Lease incentives are recognized when earned and reduce our operating lease asset related to the lease. They are amortized through the operating lease assets as reductions of rent expense over the lease term. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of the Company’s operating leases contain clauses that provide for contingent rent based on a percentage of sales greater than certain specified target amounts. Variable lease payments that do not depend on a rate or index, escalation in the index subsequent to the initial measurement, payments associated with non-lease components such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, and short-term lease payments (leases with a term with 12 months or less) are expensed as incurred or when the achievement of the specified target that triggers the contingent rent is considered probable. |

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Note 3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Leases The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) on September 25, 2019, the first day of fiscal year 2020. This update requires a lessee to recognize on the balance sheet the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a lease term of more than twelve months. This update also requires additional disclosures about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We elected the optional transition method option to apply the standard as of the effective date and therefore, we will not apply the standard to the comparative periods presented in our consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this standard had a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as we recognized the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for our operating leases. The adoption had an immaterial impact on the condensed consolidated statement of operations, cash flows and overall liquidity. We elected to utilize the three practical expedients permitted within the standard, which eliminates the requirement to reassess the conclusions about historical lease identifications, lease classifications, and initial direct costs. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, which permits the use of hindsight when determining lease terms and impairments of right-of-use assets. Additionally, we elected to utilize the short-term lease exception policy, which allows us to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to leases with a term of 12 months or less. The effect of the changes made to the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 25, 2019 for the adoption of ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) are as follows: (Tabular dollar amounts in thousands) Assets September 24, 2019 Adoption of Leases September 25, 2019 Non-current assets: Operating lease assets - 51,165 51,165 Liabilities Current Liabilities: Operating lease liability - 4,346 4,346 Non-current liabilities: Accrued deferred rent 2,881 (2,881 ) - Deferred lease incentives 5,698 (5,698 ) - Operating lease liabilities, - 55,398 55,398 The Company reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue | Note 4. Revenue Revenue Recognition Revenues consist primarily of sales from restaurant operations; franchise revenue, which includes franchisee contributions to advertising funds. Revenues associated with gift card breakage are immaterial to our financials. The Company recognizes revenue, pursuant to the new and updated standards, when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer, typically a restaurant customer or a franchisee/licensee. The Company recognizes revenues in the form of restaurant sales at the time of the sale when payment is made by the customer, as the Company has completed its performance obligation, namely the provision of food and beverage, and the accompanying customer service, during the customer’s visit to the restaurant. The Company sells gift cards to customers and recognizes revenue from gift cards primarily in the form of restaurant revenue. Gift Card breakage, which is recognized when the likelihood of a gift card being redeemed is remote, is determined based upon the Company’s historic redemption patterns, and is immaterial to our overall financial statements. Revenues we receive from our franchise and license agreements include sales-based royalties, and from our franchise agreements also may include advertising fund contributions, area development fees, and franchisee fees. We recognize sales-based royalties from franchisees and licensees as the underlying sales occur. We similarly recognize advertising fund contributions from franchisees as the underlying sales occur. The Company also provides its franchisees with services associated with opening new restaurants and operating them under franchise and development agreements in exchange for area development and franchise fees. The Company would capitalize these fees upon receipt from the franchisee and then would amortize those over the contracted franchise term as the services comprising the performance obligations are satisfied. We have not received material development or franchise fees in the years presented, and the primary performance obligations under existing franchise and development agreements have been satisfied prior to the earliest period presented in our financial statements. |

Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation | 3 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2019 | |
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation | Note 7. Stock-Based Compensation The Company has traditionally maintained incentive compensation plans that include provision for the issuance of equity-based awards. The Company established the 2008 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan in 2008 (the “2008 Plan”) and has outstanding awards that were issued under the 2008 Plan. Subsequently, the 2008 Plan expired in 2018 and the Company established a new plan, the 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) during the third fiscal quarter of 2018, pursuant to shareholder approval. Future awards will be issued under the 2018 plan. 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 recognizes the impact of forfeitures as forfeitures occur. Our net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 and December 25, 2018 includes $75,000 and $112,000, respectively, of compensation costs related to our stock-based compensation arrangements. 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 the quarter ended December 31, 2019. 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 quarter ended December 31, 2019, there were no incentive stock options granted. During the quarter ended December 25, 2018, the Company granted a total of 99,832 incentive stock options, from available shares under its 2018 Plan, with exercise prices between $4.66 and $5.00 and per-share weighted average fair values between $2.68 and $3.16. 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: Quarter Ended December 25, 2018 Expected term (years) 7.5 Expected volatility 70.65% to 70.80% Risk-free interest rate 3.01% to 3.10% Expected dividends - 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 the quarter ended December 31, 2019 under all plans: Shares Weighted Weighted Avg. Outstanding at beginning of year 703,164 $ 3.53 Options exercised (15,646 ) $ 1.48 Expired (8,579 ) $ 3.45 Outstanding December 31, 2019 678,939 $ 3.57 5.9 Exercisable December 31, 2019 478,730 $ 3.40 5.0 As of December 31, 2019, the aggregate intrinsic value of the outstanding and exercisable options was $2,000 and $2,000, respectively. Only options whose exercise price is below the current market price of the underlying stock are included in the intrinsic value calculation. As of December 31, 2019, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was $319,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2 years. There were 15,646 stock options exercised that resulted in an issuance of 2,413 shares during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 with no proceeds in conjunction with the termination of the Company’s CEO pursuant to a severance and separation agreement. There were 667 stock options exercised during the quarter ended December 25, 2018 with proceeds of approximately $3,000. Restricted Stock Units During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company granted a total of 46,336 restricted stock units from available shares under its 2018 Plan. The shares were issued with a grant date fair market value of $1.54 which is equal to the closing price of the stock on the date of the grant. The restricted stock units vest three years following the grant date. During the quarter ended December 25, 2018, the Company granted a total of 79,988 shares of restricted stock from available shares under its 2008 Plan, as amended.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt | Note 8. Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt Cadence Credit Facility The Company maintains a credit agreement with Cadence Bank (“Cadence”) pursuant to which, as amended, Cadence agreed to loan the Company up to $17,000,000 with a maturity date of December 31, 2021 (the “Cadence Credit Facility”). On February 21, 2019 the Cadence Credit Facility was amended, in connection with the RGWP Repurchase (see Note 8 to the financial statements), to retroactively attribute EBITDA previously attributed to non-controlling interests to the Company for purposes of certain financial covenants. On December 9, 2019 the Cadence Credit Facility was amended in connection with the separation of the Company’s former CEO, to amend the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” for the purposes of financial covenants, to require certain installment payments, and to permit the company to make “Restricted Payments” (as defined in the Cadence Credit Facility). In the form of repurchases or redemptions of certain equity interests of the Company from former directors and officers of the Company in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000. As amended by the various amendments, the Cadence Credit Facility accrues commitment fees on the daily unused balance of the facility at a rate of 0.25%. All borrowings under the Cadence Credit Facility, as amended, bear interest at a variable rate based upon the Company’s election of (i) 2.5% plus the base rate, which is the highest of the (a) Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (b) the Cadence bank publicly-announced prime rate, and (c) LIBOR plus 1.0%, or (ii) LIBOR, with a 0.250% floor, plus 3.5%. Interest is due at the end of each calendar quarter if the Company selects to pay interest based on the base rate and at the end of each LIBOR period if it selects to pay interest based on LIBOR. As of December 31, 2019, the weighted average interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Cadence Credit Facility was 5.275%. The Cadence Credit Facility, as amended, contains certain affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that the Company considers customary for an agreement of this type, including covenants setting a maximum leverage ratio of 5.35:1, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25:1 and minimum liquidity of $2,000,000. As of December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Cadence Credit Facility. As a result of entering into the Cadence Credit Facility and various amendments, the Company has paid loan origination costs including professional fees of approximately $292,000 since the inception of the credit facility and is amortizing these costs over the term of the credit agreement. The obligations under the Cadence Credit Facility are collateralized by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets. As of December 31, 2019, the outstanding balance on borrowings against the facility was $14,350,000. Availability of the Cadence Credit Facility for borrowings is reduced by the outstanding face value of any letters of credit issued under the facility. As of December 31, 2019, the outstanding face value of such letters of credit was $157,500. Principal payments on the Cadence Credit Facility are required beginning on March 31, 2020 in $250,000 installments on the last business day each of March, June, September, and December in each calendar year. The total loan commitment is permanently reduced by the corresponding amount of each such repayment on such date. New borrowings are permitted up to the amount of the loan commitment. The note matures and is due in its entirety on December 31, 2021. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share | Note 9. Net Income (Loss) per Common Share Our basic earnings per share calculation is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Our diluted earnings per share calculation is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued. Potentially dilutive securities for this calculation consist of in-the-money outstanding stock options, restricted stock grants and warrants (which were assumed to have been exercised at the average market price of the common shares during the reporting period). The treasury stock method is used to measure the dilutive impact of in-the-money stock options. Options and restricted stock units for 804,051 and 900,307 shares of common stock were not included in computing diluted EPS for the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and December 25, 2018, respectively, because their effects were anti-dilutive. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingent Liabilities and Liquidity | Note 10. Contingent Liabilities and Liquidity We remain contingently liable on various leases underlying restaurants that were previously sold to franchisees. We have never experienced any losses related to these contingent lease liabilities, however if a franchisee defaults on the payments under the leases, we would be liable for the lease payments as the assignor or sub-lessor of the lease. 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 in the future which could have a material effect on our future operating results. Additionally, in the normal course of business, there may be various claims in process, matters in litigation, and other contingencies brought against the company by employees, vendors, customers, franchisees, or other parties. Evaluating these contingencies is a complex process that may involve substantial judgment on the potential outcome of such matters, and the ultimate outcome of such contingencies may differ from our current analysis. We review the adequacy of accruals and disclosures related to such contingent liabilities in consultation with legal counsel. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these claims with certainty, it is management’s opinion that potential losses associated with such contingencies would be immaterial to our financial statements. |

Leases | Note 11. Leases The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. The Company's material long-term operating lease agreements are for the land and buildings for our restaurants as well as our corporate office. The initial lease terms range from 10 years to 20 years, most of which include renewal options of 10 to 15 years. The lease term is generally the minimum of the noncancelable period or the lease term including renewal options which are reasonably certain of being exercised up to a term of approximately 20 years. Some of the leases provide for base rent, plus additional rent based on gross sales, as defined in each lease agreement. The Company is also generally obligated to pay certain real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance charges, and various other expenses related to properties, which are expensed as incurred. Components of operating lease costs are as follows for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019: Lease cost Classification Total Operating lease cost Occupancy, Other restaurant operating costs and $ 1,934 Variable lease cost Occupancy 20 Sublease income Occupancy (100 ) $ 1,854 Weighted average lease term and discount rate are as follows: December 31, 2019 Weighted average remaining lease term (in years) 11.0 Weighted average discount rate 5.0 % Supplemental cash flow disclosures for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019: December 31, 2019 Cash paid for operating lease liabilities $ 1,713 Non-cash operating lease assets obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities $ 2,211 Supplemental balance sheet disclosures: Right-of-use assets Operating lease assets $ 51,941 Current lease liabilities Operating lease liability $ 4,611 Non-current lease liabilities Operating lease liability, less current portion 56,393 Total lease liabilities $ 61,004 Future minimum rent payments for our operating leases for each of the next five years as of December 31, 2019 are as follows: Fiscal year ending: Total Remainder of 2020 $ 5,657 2021 7,459 2022 7,382 2023 7,473 2024 7,429 Thereafter 44,719 Total minimum lease payments 80,119 Less: imputed interest (19,115 ) Present value of lease liabilities $ 61,004 As previously disclosed in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the previous lease accounting, future minimum rent payments for our operating leases for each of the next five years and in total are as follows as of September 24, 2019: Fiscal year ending: Total 2020 $ 7,256 2021 6,884 2022 6,677 2023 6,348 2024 5,928 Thereafter 18,988 Total minimum lease payments 52,081 Less: sublease rentals (1,058 ) Net minimum lease payments $ 51,023 The above future minimum rental amounts exclude the amortization of deferred lease incentives, renewal options that are not reasonably assured of renewal, and contingent rent.

Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment [Abstract] | |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill | Note 12. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill Long-Lived Assets. Given the results of our analysis at September 24, 2019, we identified five restaurants where the expected future cash flows would not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the associated assets. Two of these restaurants are Good Times restaurants in the greater Denver metropolitan area. We recorded a non-cash charge of $391,000, related to the impairment of these restaurants in the fiscal quarter ending September 24, 2019. In July of 2019, the Company entered into a sublease agreement for one of these two restaurants whereby the Company, upon lease commencement subject to due diligence provisions, will receive sublease income substantially equal to its cash lease costs associated with this location. We continued to operate the restaurant until December 31, 2019 and the sublease commenced in early February 2020. Three of these restaurants are Bad Daddy’s restaurants, two in the Denver/front-range communities of Colorado and Greenville, South Carolina. We recorded non-cash charges of $2,380,000 related to the impairment of these restaurants during the fiscal quarter ending September 24, 2019. Trademarks. Goodwill. |

Income Taxes | Note 13. Income Taxes We account for income taxes using the liability method, whereby 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. The Company has significant net operating loss carry-forwards from prior years and incurred additional net operating losses during the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and December 25, 2018. These losses resulted in an increase in the related deferred tax assets; however, full valuation allowances were made which reduced these deferred tax assets to zero; therefore, no income tax provision or benefit was recognized for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 and December 25, 2018 resulting in an effective income tax rate of 0% for both periods. The Company is subject to taxation in various jurisdictions within the U.S. The Company continues to remain subject to examination by U.S. federal authorities for the years 2016 through 2019. 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 December 31, 2019. |

Non-controlling Interests Non-controlling interests are presented as a separate item in the stockholders’ equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amount of consolidated net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests is presented on the face of the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions, while changes in ownership interest that do result in deconsolidation of a subsidiary require gain or loss recognition based on the fair value on the deconsolidation date. 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 contributions or distributions to or from the limited partners and members for the period. The limited partners’ and members’ share of the net income or loss in the subsidiary 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 quarter ended December 31, 2019 (in thousands): Bad Daddy’s Good Times Total Balance at September 24, 2019 $ 1,190 $ 332 $ 1,522 Income 133 79 212 Contributions 22 - 22 Distributions (186 ) (105 ) (291 ) Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 1,159 $ 306 $ 1,465 Our non-controlling interests consist of one joint venture partnership involving seven Good Times restaurants and five joint-venture partnerships involving five Bad Daddy’s restaurants. |
