Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	2	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	The Company operates three business segments: company-owned restaurant operations, manufacturing operations, and franchising and licensing operations. These reportable segments are supported by the Company’s corporate unit. The company-owned restaurants segment includes brands that have similar investment criteria and economic and operating characteristics. The manufacturing segment produces and distributes bagel dough and other products to the Company’s restaurants and other third parties. The franchise and license segment earns royalties and other fees from the use of trademarks and operating systems developed for the Company’s brands.
	Information regarding the revenues and costs of sales for each business segment has been reported in Note 19 for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013.
	Fiscal Year
	The Company has a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Tuesday closest to December 31. Fiscal years 2012 and 2013 ended on January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and each contained 52 weeks. Fiscal year 2011 ended on January 3, 2012 and contained 53 weeks.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions for the reporting period and as of the reporting date. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Fair Value Measurements
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP requires fair value measurement to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
		•		Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
		•		Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
		•		Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
	The Company’s financial instruments typically consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. The fair values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying values, due to their short-term maturities. As of January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, total debt under the Company’s amended and restated credit facility was $136.7 million and $107.0 million, respectively, and had a fair value of $136.7 million and $107.2 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s debt was estimated based on current rates found in the market place for debt with the same remaining maturities (a level 2 input).
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Amounts in-transit from credit card processors are also considered cash equivalents because they are both short-term and highly liquid in nature and are typically converted to cash within three days of the sales transaction.
	Restricted Cash
	The Company’s restricted cash consists of funds paid by franchisees that are earmarked as advertising fund contributions.
	Accounts Receivable
	The majority of the Company’s receivables are due from franchisees, licensees, distributors and trade customers. The Company determines an allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, previous loss and payment history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole.
	Inventories
	Inventories, which consist of food, beverage, paper supplies and bagel ingredients, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.
	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Property, plant and equipment (including leasehold improvements) are recorded at cost or, in the case of a business combination, at fair value. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of their useful lives or the non-cancelable lease term. In circumstances where failure to exercise a renewal option would result in the Company incurring an economic penalty, those option periods are included when determining the depreciation period. In either case, the Company’s policy requires consistency when calculating the depreciation period, in classifying the lease and in computing straight-line rent expense. Costs incurred to repair and maintain the Company’s facilities and equipment are expensed as incurred. The estimated useful lives used for financial statement purposes are:
	Store and manufacturing equipment		5 years
	Furniture and fixtures		5 years
	Office and computer equipment		3 - 7 years
	Vehicles		5 years
	The Company has determined that the economic useful life for leasehold improvements on new restaurants should be the shorter of 10 years or the life of the lease, which is typically 10 years. The Company also determined that the economic useful lives of our restaurant upgrades should be the shorter of 5 years or the life of the lease. However, as the Company approves restaurants to be upgraded, it simultaneously reviews the lease, and typically only upgrades those locations that have a lease with a renewal option and reasonable assurance such lease will be renewed.
	Capitalization of Internal Development Costs
	The Company capitalizes direct costs associated with the site acquisition and subsequent construction of a company-owned restaurant on that site, including direct internal payroll and payroll-related costs. The Company only capitalizes those site-specific costs incurred subsequent to the time that the site acquisition is considered probable. If the Company makes the determination that a site for which internal development costs have been capitalized will not be subsequently acquired or developed, any previously capitalized internal development costs will be written off to general and administrative expenses.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. For the purpose of reviewing restaurant assets for indicators of potential impairment, assets are grouped together at the market level. The Company manages its restaurants by market with significant common costs and promotional activities which are generally not clearly identifiable with an individual restaurant’s cash flows. Site specific indicators of impairment, if present, are also considered. Recoverability of restaurant assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an individual restaurant’s assets to the estimated identifiable undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by those restaurant assets. If the carrying amount of an individual restaurant’s assets exceeds its estimated identifiable undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value. Generally, a restaurant’s identifiable future cash flows are discounted to estimate its fair value.
	The Company determined there were no impairments for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013.
	Goodwill, Trademarks and Other Intangibles
	The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired in various business combinations. The Company also has other intangibles that consist mainly of trademarks, trade secrets and patents.
	The Company’s goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization, but are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company follows a two-step approach for testing impairment, using nonrecurring Level 3 inputs. For goodwill, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value to determine whether an impairment indicator exists. If a potential impairment is indicated, the fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is determined by allocating the unit’s fair value to its assets and liabilities (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. For indefinite lived intangibles, the fair value is compared to the carrying value. The amount of impairment for goodwill and other intangible assets is measured as the excess of its carrying amount over its fair value.
	As of January 3, 2012, January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, the Company performed impairment analyses of its goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. The Company found no indication of impairment resulting from its goodwill and intangible asset impairment analyses for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013.
	Business Combinations
	The Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to its net identifiable assets and liabilities based on estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the amount allocated to the assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. The Company uses all available information to estimate fair values including the fair value determination of identifiable intangible assets such as franchise rights, and any other significant assets or liabilities. In making these determinations, the Company may use the assistance of an independent third party valuation group.
	Debt Issuance Costs
	Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense based on the related debt agreement using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.
	Self-Insurance Reserves
	The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance mechanisms to provide for potential liabilities for workers’ compensation, general liability and healthcare benefits. The Company maintains coverage with third party insurers which limit the total exposure from medical, workers’ compensation and general liability claims. The self-insurance medical liability, insured workers’ compensation and general liability represent an estimate of the ultimate cost of claims incurred and unpaid as of the balance sheet date. The estimated liabilities are established based upon the Company’s analysis of historical data to ensure that the recorded liability is appropriate. The Company’s financial statements could be impacted if actual claims differ from these estimates. The estimated workers’ compensation liability is established based on actuarial estimates, is discounted at 10% based upon a discrete analysis of actual claims and historical data and is reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure that the liability is appropriate. These estimated liabilities are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
	Income Taxes
	The Company computes income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income statement purposes, using the enacted statutory rate in effect for the year these differences are expected to be taxable or refunded. Deferred income tax expenses or credits are based on the changes in the asset or liability, respectively, from period to period. A deferred tax asset or liability is recognized whenever there are future tax effects from existing temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. If the Company determines that a deferred tax asset could be realized in a greater or lesser amount than recorded, the asset’s recorded amount is adjusted and the income statement is either credited or charged, respectively, in the period during which the determination is made.
	The Company reduces its deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if it determines that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of these tax assets will not be realized. In making this determination, the Company considers various qualitative and quantitative factors, such as:
		•		the level of historical taxable income;
		•		the projection of future taxable income over periods in which the deferred tax assets would be deductible;
		•		events within the restaurant industry;
		•		the cyclical nature of the Company’s business;
		•		the health of the economy; and
		•		historical trending.
	As of January 3, 2012, the Company had a valuation allowance of approximately $4.8 million established against its deferred tax assets. This valuation allowance was applied against net operating losses (“NOLs”) that will expire prior to their utilization. During fiscal 2012, the Company eliminated these NOLs and accordingly eliminated the related valuation allowance.
	The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it determines that it is more-likely-than-not that the position would be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. If the Company derecognizes an uncertain tax position, the Company’s policy is to record any applicable interest and penalties within the provision for income tax.
	Revenue Recognition
	Company-owned restaurant sales – The Company records revenue from the sale of food, beverage and retail items as products are sold. Sales tax amounts collected from customers that are remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from net revenue.
	Manufacturing and commissary revenues – Manufacturing and commissary revenues are recorded at the time of shipment to customers. The Company produces bagels for sale to third party resellers, including sales to a wholesaler and a distributor who take possession in the United States and sell outside of the United States. As the product is shipped FOB domestic dock, invoiced in U.S. dollars and paid in U.S. dollars, the Company is not exposed to international risks of loss or foreign currency exchange issues. Shipping charges billed to third parties are recognized as revenue, and the related shipping costs are included in manufacturing and commissary costs. Approximately $7.1 million, $9.4 million and $10.4 million of sales shipped internationally are included in manufacturing and commissary revenues for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. All of the Company’s commissaries were closed by the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
	Franchise and license related revenues – Initial fees received from a franchisee or licensee to establish a new location are recognized as income when the Company has performed its obligations required to assist the franchisee or licensee in opening a new location, which is generally at the time the franchisee or licensee commences operations. Continuing royalties are calculated as a percentage of the net sales of the Company’s franchised and licensed locations. Franchise and license related revenues for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013 include the following:
			Fiscal Year Ended

Gift Cards – Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are recorded as deferred revenue within accrued expenses, and recognized as revenue when redeemed by the holder. There are no expiration dates on the Company’s gift cards and the Company does not charge any service fees that would result in a decrease to a customer’s available balance.
While the Company will continue to honor all gift cards presented for payment, it may determine the likelihood of redemption to be remote for certain gift card balances due to, among other things, long periods of inactivity. In these circumstances, to the extent the Company determines there is no requirement for remitting balances to government agencies under unclaimed property laws, outstanding gift card balances may then be recognized as breakage in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as a component of company-owned restaurant sales.
Income from gift card breakage was $0.2 million, $0.9 million and $0.8 million for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Pre-opening Costs
Pre-opening costs, including rent, wages, food, marketing and other restaurant operating costs, are expensed as incurred prior to a restaurant opening for business.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred except for expenses related to the development and production of a major commercial or media campaign which are expensed during the period in which the advertisement is first presented by the media. Advertising costs were $9.8 million, $11.4 million and $10.9 million for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and are included in company-owned restaurant costs in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company had $0.8 million and $0.5 million of prepaid advertising expenses as of January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which are included as a component of prepaid expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.
Leases and Deferred Rent
The Company leases all of its restaurant properties under operating leases. The Company also has equipment leases that qualify as either an operating lease or capital lease.
For a lease that contains rent escalations, the Company records the total rent payable during the lease term on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and records the difference between rent paid and the straight-line rent expense as deferred rent payable. Incentive payments received from landlords are recorded as an increase to deferred rent payable and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as a reduction of rent. As of January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $6.2 million and $8.0 million, respectively, of deferred rent payable, net of landlord incentives, recorded as a component of other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Net Income per Common Share
The Company computes basic net income per common share by dividing the net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potential common stock equivalents include incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants. Potential common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share when their effect is anti-dilutive.
The following table summarizes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, as well as sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share for the periods:

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company maintains several equity incentive plans under which it may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or restricted stock to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. Restricted stock and RSUs are valued using the closing stock price on the date of grant. The fair value of an option award or SAR is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates ranges of assumptions for inputs. The Company’s assumptions are as follows:
	•		Expected Term—The expected term of options is based upon evaluations of historical and expected future exercise behavior.
	•		Risk Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected term at the grant date.
	•		Implied Volatility—Implied volatility is based on the mean reverting average of the Company’s historical stock volatility and that of an industry peer group. The Company believes that the use of mean reversion is supported by evidence of a correlation between stock price volatility and a company’s leverage, combined with the effects that mandatory principal payments will have on the Company’s capital structure, as defined under its debt facility.
	•		Dividend Yield—The Company declared dividends in fiscal 2011, fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013, and anticipates that it will continue to pay dividends in the future, at the discretion of its Board of Directors (the “Board”). The payment of dividends is dependent on a variety of factors, including available cash and the overall financial condition of the Company.
Under the plans, vesting of awards can either be based on the passage of time or on the achievement of performance goals. For awards that vest on the passage of time, compensation cost is recognized using a graded vesting attribution method over the vesting period. For performance based awards, the Company will recognize compensation costs over the requisite service period when conditions for achievement become probable. The Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ or are expected to differ.
Concentrations of Risk
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances with financial institutions that exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances and management believes its credit risk to be minimal.
The Company purchases a majority of its frozen bagel dough from a single supplier who utilizes the Company’s proprietary processes and on whom the Company is dependent in the short-term. The Company also purchases all of its cream cheese from a single source. The Company has not experienced significant difficulties with its suppliers, but the reliance on a limited number of suppliers subjects the Company to a number of risks, including possible delays or interruption in supplies, diminished control over quality and a potential lack of adequate raw material capacity. Any disruption in the supply or degradation in the quality of the materials provided by the suppliers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, including its ability to develop a strong brand identity and a loyal customer base. This could have a detrimental effect on the Company’s operating results and financial condition.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that simplifies how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets and permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the currently required quantitative fair value assessment. The guidance became effective for the Company at the beginning of the first quarter of 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance requiring an entity to disclose additional information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income, including (1) changes in accumulated other comprehensive income balances by component and (2) significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and the effect on the respective line items in net income if the amounts are required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The new guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of these disclosure requirements did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance permitting companies to use the Federal Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. The guidance also removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The guidance is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance requiring an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows: to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this statement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

	Net cash paid towards acquisitions			2,181			985
	The restaurants acquired in fiscal 2013 contributed $0.4 million in net operating revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented, as the impact on the consolidated financial results would not have been material. Goodwill of $1.1 million arising from the Company’s fiscal 2012 acquisitions consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the acquired operations with the Company. All of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
	Certain amounts may be withheld by the Company at the closing of each transaction for specified periods of time. These withheld amounts are applied to any invoices that relate to the seller after the closing date of the transaction. The Company will then pay the difference to the seller at an agreed upon date. There were no remaining amounts as of January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013.
	The Company treats acquisition related costs as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. The Company recorded $0.1 million and $20,000 in costs related to acquisitions for the fiscal years ended January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These amounts are included in other operating (income) expenses, net on the accompanying consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.
	During the second quarter of 2012, the Company adjusted its assignment of costs related to a prior year acquisition for changes to its original estimates of the fair value of capital assets that were acquired. These changes are the result of additional information obtained since the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2012. The adjustment to property, plant and equipment of $0.1 million did not result in a material change to previously reported amounts. Goodwill increased by $0.1 million as a result of the decrease in the fair value of the property, plant and equipment.

Long- term Debt	'
	8	LONG-TERM DEBT
	On December 6, 2012, the Company entered into an amended and restated senior credit facility with Bank of America and a syndicate of institutional lenders, which was further amended on June 27, 2013 (the “Senior Credit Facility”).
	The Senior Credit Facility has a commitment of up to $175.0 million, including a term loan of up to $100.0 million (the “Term Loan”) and a revolving credit facility of up to $75.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”). Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company’s option, either a variable base rate or a Eurodollar rate (which is calculated based off of London InterBank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”)). The applicable margin for Eurodollar rate loans ranges from 1.75% to 3.25% and for base rate loans ranges from 0.75% to 2.25%, depending on the level of the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility). Upon the occurrence of a payment event of default which is continuing, all amounts due under the Senior Credit Facility will bear interest at 2.0% above the interest rate otherwise applicable.
	The Senior Credit Facility matures on June 6, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”). Commencing March 31, 2013, quarterly payments on the term loan, ranging in value between $1.25 million and $2.50 million over the term of the Senior Credit Facility, are due on the last day of each calendar quarter, with any remaining amounts due and payable upon maturity. The Term Loan also requires mandatory prepayments of:
		•		100% of net cash proceeds of asset sales and insurance and condemnation proceeds above a threshold and subject to the ability to reinvest under certain circumstances; and
		•		100% of net cash proceeds of any debt issued by the Company, subject to certain exceptions.
	The Senior Credit Facility contains a number of negative covenants that will limit the Company from taking certain actions. The Company is also required to maintain:
		•		a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio ranging from 1.30x to 1.35x; and
		•		a maximum consolidated leverage ratio ranging from 2.75x to 3.50x.
	The Senior Credit Facility limits annual capital expenditures to $32.0 million, but allows, subject to certain conditions, for a percentage of any unused portion of the capital expenditure limit to be carried forward into the following year.
	The Senior Credit Facility contains customary events of default. In addition, the Senior Credit Facility provides for (i) an incremental term loan (the “Incremental Term Loan”) and (ii) an increase in the Revolving Facility (the “Revolving Facility Increase” and together with the Incremental Term Loan, the “Incremental Facilities”) of up to $50 million to be used by the Company, if needed, solely for the purpose of making acquisitions permitted under the Senior Credit Facility. If the Company chooses to draw down the Incremental Facilities, the outstanding amount of the Incremental Facilities must be repaid in equal quarterly installments on the last day of each calendar quarter, with any remaining amounts due and payable on the Maturity Date. Borrowings under the Incremental Facilities, if any, will bear interest at the same rate schedule as other borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. Availability of the Incremental Facilities is subject to customary borrowing conditions, including absence of any default or material adverse change, and to a requirement of advanced successful syndication of the Incremental Facilities.
	As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $6.7 million in letters of credit outstanding which reduces the letter of credit availability under its Senior Credit Facility to $13.3 million. The letters of credit expire on various dates during 2014, are generally automatically renewable for one additional year and are payable upon demand in the event that the Company fails to pay the underlying obligation. Letters of credit reduce the Company’s availability under its Revolving Facility. The Company’s availability under its Revolving Facility was $56.3 million as of December 31, 2013.
	The Company may make dividends and repurchases of its common stock using excess cash flow (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility).
	The Company may prepay amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility and may terminate commitments in whole at any time without penalty or premium upon prior written notice.
	The Senior Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in all the assets of the Company, including a pledge of 100% of the Company’s interest in all shares of capital stock (or other ownership or equity interests) of each material subsidiary.
	The weighted-average interest rate under the Senior Credit Facility, excluding the amortization of debt issuance costs and other fees, was 3.4% and 3.8% for fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate under the Senior Credit Facility, excluding the amortization of debt issuance costs and other fees, was 3.1% on December 31, 2013. Excluding the amortization of debt issuance costs and other fees, the Company incurred $2.5 million, $2.5 million and $4.8 million of interest expense in fiscal 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all financial and operating covenants.

Amortization expense relating to debt issuance costs was $0.4 million, $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

	For fiscal 2012, unrealized losses of approximately $51,000 relating to expiring cash flow hedges, net of taxes, were realized as interest expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
	On March 4, 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement relating to its Senior Credit Facility for two years, effective March 7, 2013. The Company will be required to make payments based on a fixed interest rate of 0.395% calculated on an initial notional amount of $50.0 million. In exchange, the Company will receive interest on $50.0 million notional amount at a variable rate. The variable rate interest the Company will receive is based on the one-month London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The net effect of the interest rate swap agreement will be to fix the interest rate on $50.0 million of the Company’s Term Loan at 0.395% plus an applicable margin (as defined by the Senior Credit Facility). The Company has determined that this interest rate swap agreement qualifies as a cash flow hedge.
	On December 10, 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement relating to its Senior Credit Facility effective March 9, 2015 through June 6, 2018. The Company will be required to make payments based on a fixed interest rate of 1.535% calculated on an initial notional amount of $88.1 million. In exchange, the Company will receive interest on $88.1 million notional amount at a variable rate. The variable rate interest the Company will receive is based on the one-month LIBOR. The net effect of the interest rate swap agreement will be to fix the interest rate on $88.1 million of the Company’s Term Loan at 1.535% plus an applicable margin (as defined by the Senior Credit Facility). The Company has determined that this interest rate swap agreement qualifies as a cash flow hedge.
	Using quoted prices based on observable inputs (a Level 2 fair value measurement), the Company has recorded liabilities for these cash flow hedges of $147,000 ($89,000 net of taxes) as of December 31, 2013. The fair values of these cash flow hedges will be adjusted regularly, with a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive income within equity.

The Company intends to pay regular quarterly dividends at the discretion of its Board. The issuance of a dividend is dependent on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, available cash and the overall financial condition of the Company. The issuance of a dividend is also subject to legal restrictions and the terms of the Company’s Senior Credit Facility.
	On May 3, 2012, the Company announced that its Board authorized a review of strategic alternatives, including a possible business combination or sale of the Company, to maximize value for all stockholders. On December 6, 2012, the Company announced that its Board had completed its review and elected to recapitalize the Company by amending its existing credit facility and declared a one-time cash dividend of $4.00 per share ($68.8 million in total) payable to holders of record of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on December 17, 2012.

Outstanding awards previously issued under inactive or suspended plans will continue to vest and remain exercisable in accordance with the terms of the respective plans.
	2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan
	On May 3, 2011, the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) became effective after approval by the Board and the Company’s stockholders. The Omnibus Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, SARs, restricted stock, RSUs, performance shares, performance units, cash-based awards and other stock based awards. All of the Company’s employees and third party service providers are eligible to receive awards. The Omnibus Plan will terminate automatically in May 2021, unless terminated by the Board at an earlier date. The Board has the authority to amend, modify or terminate the Omnibus Plan, subject to any required approval by the Company’s stockholders under applicable law or upon advice of counsel. No such action may affect any options previously granted under the Omnibus Plan without the consent of the holders. Options generally are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant and have a contractual life of ten years. Vesting can either be based on the passage of time or on the achievement of performance goals. The Omnibus Plan provides for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock to eligible individuals through the various forms of permitted awards. The maximum number of shares for which options or stock appreciation rights may be granted to any participant is 300,000 per year and the maximum number of shares that may be paid to any participant in the form of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares or other stock based awards is 300,000 shares per year. The maximum aggregate amount that may be paid under an award of performance units, cash-based awards or any other award payable in cash, in each case that are performance-based compensation, is $5.0 million. As of December 31, 2013, there were 224,994 shares remaining available for issuance under the Omnibus Plan.
	Equity Plan for Non-Employee Directors
	On December 19, 2003, the Board adopted the Stock Option Plan for Independent Directors. On May 3, 2011, the Board and the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of this plan. Amongst other changes, the name of the plan was changed to the Equity Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “Equity Plan”). The Equity Plan provides for the granting of nonqualified stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units to independent directors. The Board may amend, suspend, or terminate the Equity Plan at any time, provided, however, that no such action may adversely affect any outstanding option without the option holder’s consent. Options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant, become exercisable six months after the grant date and are exercisable for five years from the date of grant unless earlier terminated. The Equity Plan provides for the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of common stock to eligible participants. As of December 31, 2013, there were 103,224 shares remaining available for issuance under the Equity Plan.
	Stock Appreciation Rights Plan
	On February 17, 2007, the Board adopted the Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (the “SAR Plan”). The SAR Plan provides for the granting of stock appreciation rights to employees, excluding executive officers. The SAR plan has no set expiration date. The Board has the authority to amend, modify or terminate the SAR Plan, subject to any required approval by stockholders under applicable law or upon advice of counsel, provided that, with limited exception, no modification will adversely affect outstanding rights. The value of a share from which appreciation is determined is 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant and will be paid in stock when they are exercised by the employee. The rights expire upon the earlier of the termination date of the SAR Plan or termination of employment, typically vest over a two-year service period and have a contractual life of five years.
	The SAR Plan provides for 150,000 shares to be issued pursuant to stock appreciation rights. As of December 31, 2013, there were 121,678 shares remaining under this authorization.
	Stock Based Compensation Cost
	Stock-based compensation for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013 was $2.3 million, $2.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses.
	The fair value of stock options and SARs granted during fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions by grant year:
			Fiscal Year Ended
			January 3, 2012		January 1, 2013	December 31, 2013
	Expected life of options and SARs from date of grant		2.75 - 6.0 years		2.75 - 6.0 years	3.25 - 6.0 years
	Risk-free interest rate		0.38% - 2.61%		0.35% - 1.16%	0.34% - 1.68%
	Volatility		42 - 44%		35% - 42%	29% - 32%
	Assumed dividend yield		3.31%		2.83% - 4.10%	2.85% - 3.59%
	Stock Option and SARs Activity
	The weighted-average fair value of stock options and SARs issued and the total intrinsic value of options and SARs exercised were:
			2011			2012			2013
			(In thousands, except share prices)
	Weighted-average grant date fair value		$	4.69		$	4.03		$	2.82
	Total intrinsic value of options exercised		$	1,374		$	1,528		$	3,122
	As a result of the Company paying a special cash dividend of $4.00 per share on December 27, 2012 to common stockholders of record on December 17, 2012 (see Note 10), the Company reduced the exercise price of all stock options and SARs outstanding on January 8, 2013 by a factor of 1.3 and increased the number of stock options and SARs outstanding by an equivalent factor of 1.3. This adjustment, which was based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the day before and the day after December 27, 2012, was made in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions in the Company’s Omnibus Plan and the Company’s SARs Plan and did not result in any additional compensation expense.
	Changes in outstanding stock options and SARs during the fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013 were as follows:
			Number of Options and SARs									Weighted-Average Exercise Price
			2011			2012			2013			2011		2012		2013

	As of December 31, 2013, the weighted-average remaining life of total outstanding options and SARs, and exercisable and vested options and SARs was 6.76 years and 5.39 years, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, the aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding options and SARs, and exercisable and vested options and SARs was $3.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

	As of December 31, 2013, the Company has approximately $0.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards granted under its plans, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.34 years.
	Restricted Stock Unit Activity
The Company issues RSU’s under the Omnibus Plan. The Company’s outstanding RSUs have a three year life and one-third of each grant becomes unrestricted each year on the anniversary of the grant date. Upon vesting, the RSUs are generally net share-settled to cover the required withholding tax and the remaining amount is converted into an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of the Company’s RSUs is determined based upon the closing fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.
Transactions for fiscal 2013 were as follows:
		Number			Weighted			Aggregate
		of			Average			Intrinsic
		Shares			Grant			Value
					Date Fair
					Value
Non-vested rights, January 1, 2013			140,785		$	14.63

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $0.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.41 years.
Restricted Stock
On January 9, 2009, the Company’s Compensation Committee granted 63,776 shares of restricted stock with a value of $375,000 in connection with Mr. O’Neill’s appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company recognized compensation cost for this award using a graded vesting attribution method over the requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense for fiscal year 2011 includes $0.1 million related to the vesting of these shares. As of January 9, 2012, all shares were fully vested.

	On April 3, 2013, the Company sold five company-owned restaurants in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania market to an existing franchisee for $1.8 million. The assets sold had a net book value of $0.2 million and the Company incurred additional costs of $0.1 million associated with this transaction which resulted in a total gain of $1.5 million. Of the $1.5 million gain, $0.4 million has been deferred as it is contingent upon the successful renegotiation of a lease. The Company recognized $0.1 million of the deferred gain in fiscal 2013. The remaining $0.3 million of the deferred gain is recorded as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the December 31, 2013 consolidated balance sheet.
	On November 26, 2013, the Company sold a company-owned restaurant in Fairfield, Connecticut to an existing franchisee for $0.2 million. The assets sold had a net book value of approximately $0.1 million, resulting in a gain of $0.1 million.

Employer contributions are fully vested after three years of service. The Company did not accrue or pay a discretionary match for each of the fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013.
	The Company established the Einstein Noah Restaurant Group, Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DC Plan”) in June 2007 for key employees, generally officers of the Company.

	The Company’s continued utilization of its NOL carryforwards reduces its income tax liabilities. As of January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of state income tax overpayments recorded within prepaid expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.
	As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s NOL carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes that are expected to be utilized against future taxable income are subject in part to annual limitations and the following expiration schedule:
	Net Operating Loss Carryforwards

		$	82,912
The Company’s ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards could be further limited if it experiences an “ownership change” as defined by IRC §382. The occurrence of an ownership change would limit the Company’s ability to utilize approximately $75.1 million of its NOL carryforwards that are not currently subject to limitation, and could further limit the Company’s ability to utilize its remaining NOL carryforwards and possibly other tax attributes. As of December 31, 2013, approximately $7.8 million of the Company’s NOL carryforwards are subject to limitation.
Excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises have not been recorded due to the Company’s NOL carryforward position. The following represents a reconciliation of the Company’s unrecognized excess tax benefits for the fiscal years ended January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013:

These excess tax benefits are not included in the Company’s deferred tax assets due to limitations regarding their recognition. If these excess tax benefits are recognized in the future, the Company’s effective tax rate will not be impacted.

The recorded amounts, if recognized, will have no impact on the effective tax rate due to the existence of NOL carryforwards.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and the various state and local jurisdictions in which it operates. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. The Company’s federal tax filings remain subject to examination for fiscal tax years 2010 through 2012. The IRS has completed its examinations for tax years 2009 and prior. The Company’s state and local tax filings remain subject to examination for fiscal tax years 2008 through 2012. Although years prior to fiscal 2008 are no longer subject to examination, the taxing authorities reserve the right to adjust the Company’s NOL carryforwards.

	In fiscal 2010, the Company’s management approved a plan to restructure the organization to align with its franchise growth model. This restructuring included eliminating certain redundant positions and reducing headcount. The Company incurred $0.2 million related to this restructuring for fiscal 2011.
	In fiscal 2011, the Company committed to a plan to close all five of its commissaries. The Grove City, Ohio commissary closed during the fourth quarter of 2011. The remaining four commissaries closed by the end of the first quarter of 2012. The Company recorded restructuring charges of $0.7 million during fiscal 2011 and $0.5 million during fiscal 2012 related to this restructuring.
	Also in fiscal 2011, the Company eliminated other redundant positions resulting in an additional $0.2 million of restructuring charges for fiscal 2011.
	All restructuring costs are included in restructuring expenses on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. It is the Company’s policy to record all restructuring costs within the corporate support segment.
	The Company has no remaining restructuring liabilities as of December 31, 2013.

Summary_of_Significant_Account1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	'
	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	The Company operates three business segments: company-owned restaurant operations, manufacturing operations, and franchising and licensing operations. These reportable segments are supported by the Company’s corporate unit. The company-owned restaurants segment includes brands that have similar investment criteria and economic and operating characteristics. The manufacturing segment produces and distributes bagel dough and other products to the Company’s restaurants and other third parties. The franchise and license segment earns royalties and other fees from the use of trademarks and operating systems developed for the Company’s brands.
	Information regarding the revenues and costs of sales for each business segment has been reported in Note 19 for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Fiscal Year	'
	Fiscal Year
	The Company has a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Tuesday closest to December 31. Fiscal years 2012 and 2013 ended on January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and each contained 52 weeks. Fiscal year 2011 ended on January 3, 2012 and contained 53 weeks.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions for the reporting period and as of the reporting date. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP requires fair value measurement to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
		•		Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
		•		Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
		•		Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
	The Company’s financial instruments typically consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. The fair values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying values, due to their short-term maturities. As of January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, total debt under the Company’s amended and restated credit facility was $136.7 million and $107.0 million, respectively, and had a fair value of $136.7 million and $107.2 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s debt was estimated based on current rates found in the market place for debt with the same remaining maturities (a level 2 input).
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Amounts in-transit from credit card processors are also considered cash equivalents because they are both short-term and highly liquid in nature and are typically converted to cash within three days of the sales transaction.
Restricted Cash	'
	Restricted Cash
	The Company’s restricted cash consists of funds paid by franchisees that are earmarked as advertising fund contributions.
Accounts Receivable	'
	Accounts Receivable
	The majority of the Company’s receivables are due from franchisees, licensees, distributors and trade customers. The Company determines an allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, previous loss and payment history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole.
Inventories	'
	Inventories
	Inventories, which consist of food, beverage, paper supplies and bagel ingredients, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Property, Plant and Equipment	'
	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Property, plant and equipment (including leasehold improvements) are recorded at cost or, in the case of a business combination, at fair value. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of their useful lives or the non-cancelable lease term. In circumstances where failure to exercise a renewal option would result in the Company incurring an economic penalty, those option periods are included when determining the depreciation period. In either case, the Company’s policy requires consistency when calculating the depreciation period, in classifying the lease and in computing straight-line rent expense. Costs incurred to repair and maintain the Company’s facilities and equipment are expensed as incurred. The estimated useful lives used for financial statement purposes are:
	Store and manufacturing equipment		5 years
	Furniture and fixtures		5 years
	Office and computer equipment		3 - 7 years
	Vehicles		5 years
	The Company has determined that the economic useful life for leasehold improvements on new restaurants should be the shorter of 10 years or the life of the lease, which is typically 10 years. The Company also determined that the economic useful lives of our restaurant upgrades should be the shorter of 5 years or the life of the lease. However, as the Company approves restaurants to be upgraded, it simultaneously reviews the lease, and typically only upgrades those locations that have a lease with a renewal option and reasonable assurance such lease will be renewed.
Capitalization of Internal Development Costs	'
	Capitalization of Internal Development Costs
	The Company capitalizes direct costs associated with the site acquisition and subsequent construction of a company-owned restaurant on that site, including direct internal payroll and payroll-related costs. The Company only capitalizes those site-specific costs incurred subsequent to the time that the site acquisition is considered probable. If the Company makes the determination that a site for which internal development costs have been capitalized will not be subsequently acquired or developed, any previously capitalized internal development costs will be written off to general and administrative expenses.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	'
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. For the purpose of reviewing restaurant assets for indicators of potential impairment, assets are grouped together at the market level. The Company manages its restaurants by market with significant common costs and promotional activities which are generally not clearly identifiable with an individual restaurant’s cash flows. Site specific indicators of impairment, if present, are also considered. Recoverability of restaurant assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an individual restaurant’s assets to the estimated identifiable undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by those restaurant assets. If the carrying amount of an individual restaurant’s assets exceeds its estimated identifiable undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value. Generally, a restaurant’s identifiable future cash flows are discounted to estimate its fair value.
	The Company determined there were no impairments for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Goodwill, Trademarks and Other Intangibles	'
	Goodwill, Trademarks and Other Intangibles
	The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired in various business combinations. The Company also has other intangibles that consist mainly of trademarks, trade secrets and patents.
	The Company’s goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization, but are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company follows a two-step approach for testing impairment, using nonrecurring Level 3 inputs. For goodwill, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value to determine whether an impairment indicator exists. If a potential impairment is indicated, the fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is determined by allocating the unit’s fair value to its assets and liabilities (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. For indefinite lived intangibles, the fair value is compared to the carrying value. The amount of impairment for goodwill and other intangible assets is measured as the excess of its carrying amount over its fair value.
	As of January 3, 2012, January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, the Company performed impairment analyses of its goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. The Company found no indication of impairment resulting from its goodwill and intangible asset impairment analyses for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Business Combinations	'
	Business Combinations
	The Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to its net identifiable assets and liabilities based on estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the amount allocated to the assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. The Company uses all available information to estimate fair values including the fair value determination of identifiable intangible assets such as franchise rights, and any other significant assets or liabilities. In making these determinations, the Company may use the assistance of an independent third party valuation group.
Debt Issuance Costs	'
	Debt Issuance Costs
	Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense based on the related debt agreement using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.
Self-Insurance Reserves	'
	Self-Insurance Reserves
	The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance mechanisms to provide for potential liabilities for workers’ compensation, general liability and healthcare benefits. The Company maintains coverage with third party insurers which limit the total exposure from medical, workers’ compensation and general liability claims. The self-insurance medical liability, insured workers’ compensation and general liability represent an estimate of the ultimate cost of claims incurred and unpaid as of the balance sheet date. The estimated liabilities are established based upon the Company’s analysis of historical data to ensure that the recorded liability is appropriate. The Company’s financial statements could be impacted if actual claims differ from these estimates. The estimated workers’ compensation liability is established based on actuarial estimates, is discounted at 10% based upon a discrete analysis of actual claims and historical data and is reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure that the liability is appropriate. These estimated liabilities are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	The Company computes income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income statement purposes, using the enacted statutory rate in effect for the year these differences are expected to be taxable or refunded. Deferred income tax expenses or credits are based on the changes in the asset or liability, respectively, from period to period. A deferred tax asset or liability is recognized whenever there are future tax effects from existing temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. If the Company determines that a deferred tax asset could be realized in a greater or lesser amount than recorded, the asset’s recorded amount is adjusted and the income statement is either credited or charged, respectively, in the period during which the determination is made.
	The Company reduces its deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if it determines that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of these tax assets will not be realized. In making this determination, the Company considers various qualitative and quantitative factors, such as:
		•		the level of historical taxable income;
		•		the projection of future taxable income over periods in which the deferred tax assets would be deductible;
		•		events within the restaurant industry;
		•		the cyclical nature of the Company’s business;
		•		the health of the economy; and
		•		historical trending.
	As of January 3, 2012, the Company had a valuation allowance of approximately $4.8 million established against its deferred tax assets. This valuation allowance was applied against net operating losses (“NOLs”) that will expire prior to their utilization. During fiscal 2012, the Company eliminated these NOLs and accordingly eliminated the related valuation allowance.
	The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it determines that it is more-likely-than-not that the position would be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. If the Company derecognizes an uncertain tax position, the Company’s policy is to record any applicable interest and penalties within the provision for income tax.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	Company-owned restaurant sales – The Company records revenue from the sale of food, beverage and retail items as products are sold. Sales tax amounts collected from customers that are remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from net revenue.
	Manufacturing and commissary revenues – Manufacturing and commissary revenues are recorded at the time of shipment to customers. The Company produces bagels for sale to third party resellers, including sales to a wholesaler and a distributor who take possession in the United States and sell outside of the United States. As the product is shipped FOB domestic dock, invoiced in U.S. dollars and paid in U.S. dollars, the Company is not exposed to international risks of loss or foreign currency exchange issues. Shipping charges billed to third parties are recognized as revenue, and the related shipping costs are included in manufacturing and commissary costs. Approximately $7.1 million, $9.4 million and $10.4 million of sales shipped internationally are included in manufacturing and commissary revenues for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. All of the Company’s commissaries were closed by the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
	Franchise and license related revenues – Initial fees received from a franchisee or licensee to establish a new location are recognized as income when the Company has performed its obligations required to assist the franchisee or licensee in opening a new location, which is generally at the time the franchisee or licensee commences operations. Continuing royalties are calculated as a percentage of the net sales of the Company’s franchised and licensed locations. Franchise and license related revenues for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013 include the following:
			Fiscal Year Ended
			January 3,		January 1,		December 31,
			2012		2013		2013
					(in thousands)
	Royalties		$	9,457	$	10,452	$	11,481
	Fees			873		734		1,053
	Total		$	10,330	$	11,186	$	12,534
	Deferred franchise and license revenue, which is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, are summarized as follows:
			January 1,		December 31,
			2013		2013
			(in thousands)
	Deferred franchise and license revenue—current			495		719
	Deferred franchise and license revenue—long-term			563		740
	Deferred franchise and license revenue		$	1,058	$	1,459
	Gift Cards – Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are recorded as deferred revenue within accrued expenses, and recognized as revenue when redeemed by the holder. There are no expiration dates on the Company’s gift cards and the Company does not charge any service fees that would result in a decrease to a customer’s available balance.
	While the Company will continue to honor all gift cards presented for payment, it may determine the likelihood of redemption to be remote for certain gift card balances due to, among other things, long periods of inactivity. In these circumstances, to the extent the Company determines there is no requirement for remitting balances to government agencies under unclaimed property laws, outstanding gift card balances may then be recognized as breakage in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as a component of company-owned restaurant sales.
	Income from gift card breakage was $0.2 million, $0.9 million and $0.8 million for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Preopening Costs	'
	Pre-opening Costs
	Pre-opening costs, including rent, wages, food, marketing and other restaurant operating costs, are expensed as incurred prior to a restaurant opening for business.
Advertising Costs	'
	Advertising Costs
	The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred except for expenses related to the development and production of a major commercial or media campaign which are expensed during the period in which the advertisement is first presented by the media. Advertising costs were $9.8 million, $11.4 million and $10.9 million for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and are included in company-owned restaurant costs in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company had $0.8 million and $0.5 million of prepaid advertising expenses as of January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which are included as a component of prepaid expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.
Leases and Deferred Rent	'
	Leases and Deferred Rent
	The Company leases all of its restaurant properties under operating leases. The Company also has equipment leases that qualify as either an operating lease or capital lease.
	For a lease that contains rent escalations, the Company records the total rent payable during the lease term on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and records the difference between rent paid and the straight-line rent expense as deferred rent payable. Incentive payments received from landlords are recorded as an increase to deferred rent payable and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as a reduction of rent. As of January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $6.2 million and $8.0 million, respectively, of deferred rent payable, net of landlord incentives, recorded as a component of other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Net Income per Common Share	'
	Net Income per Common Share
	The Company computes basic net income per common share by dividing the net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
	Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potential common stock equivalents include incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants. Potential common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share when their effect is anti-dilutive.
	The following table summarizes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, as well as sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share for the periods:
			Fiscal Year Ended

Stock-Based Compensation	'
	Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company maintains several equity incentive plans under which it may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or restricted stock to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. Restricted stock and RSUs are valued using the closing stock price on the date of grant. The fair value of an option award or SAR is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates ranges of assumptions for inputs. The Company’s assumptions are as follows:
		•		Expected Term—The expected term of options is based upon evaluations of historical and expected future exercise behavior.
		•		Risk Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected term at the grant date.
		•		Implied Volatility—Implied volatility is based on the mean reverting average of the Company’s historical stock volatility and that of an industry peer group. The Company believes that the use of mean reversion is supported by evidence of a correlation between stock price volatility and a company’s leverage, combined with the effects that mandatory principal payments will have on the Company’s capital structure, as defined under its debt facility.
		•		Dividend Yield—The Company declared dividends in fiscal 2011, fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013, and anticipates that it will continue to pay dividends in the future, at the discretion of its Board of Directors (the “Board”). The payment of dividends is dependent on a variety of factors, including available cash and the overall financial condition of the Company.
	Under the plans, vesting of awards can either be based on the passage of time or on the achievement of performance goals. For awards that vest on the passage of time, compensation cost is recognized using a graded vesting attribution method over the vesting period. For performance based awards, the Company will recognize compensation costs over the requisite service period when conditions for achievement become probable. The Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ or are expected to differ.
Concentrations of Risk	'
	Concentrations of Risk
	The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances with financial institutions that exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances and management believes its credit risk to be minimal.
	The Company purchases a majority of its frozen bagel dough from a single supplier who utilizes the Company’s proprietary processes and on whom the Company is dependent in the short-term. The Company also purchases all of its cream cheese from a single source. The Company has not experienced significant difficulties with its suppliers, but the reliance on a limited number of suppliers subjects the Company to a number of risks, including possible delays or interruption in supplies, diminished control over quality and a potential lack of adequate raw material capacity. Any disruption in the supply or degradation in the quality of the materials provided by the suppliers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, including its ability to develop a strong brand identity and a loyal customer base. This could have a detrimental effect on the Company’s operating results and financial condition.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that simplifies how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets and permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the currently required quantitative fair value assessment. The guidance became effective for the Company at the beginning of the first quarter of 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance requiring an entity to disclose additional information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income, including (1) changes in accumulated other comprehensive income balances by component and (2) significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and the effect on the respective line items in net income if the amounts are required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The new guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of these disclosure requirements did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance permitting companies to use the Federal Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. The guidance also removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The guidance is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance requiring an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows: to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this statement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
