Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Purchase Obligations—The Company enters into various purchase obligations in the ordinary course of business, generally of a short-term nature. Those that are binding primarily relate to amounts owed for produce and other ingredients and supplies, including supplies and materials used for new restaurant openings. Letters of Credit—As of July 12, 2026 and December 28, 2025, the Company had six irrevocable letters of credit in favor of various landlords in the aggregate amount of $0.9 million. The letters of credit do not require a compensating balance and automatically renew in accordance with the terms of the underlying lease agreement. Litigation—The Company is currently involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of its business, including claims resulting from employment related matters. While the ultimate outcome and the costs associated with litigation are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict, as of the date hereof, the Company does not believe that any of its pending legal proceedings, most of which are covered by insurance, will have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. However, a significant increase in the number of these claims or an increase in uninsured amounts owed under successful claims could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. On July 22, 2026, the Cleveland Bakers and Teamsters Pension Fund filed a derivative action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, purportedly on behalf of the Company, against certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors alleging breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, attorneys' fees and costs, and the disgorgement of alleged improperly obtained trading profits by the defendants. The action is in a preliminary stage and no discovery has taken place. The defendants deny they breached their fiduciary duties. The complaint does not seek damages from the Company.
