SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates

The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period of change.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements

The Company accounts for financial instruments pursuant to accounting guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the accounting guidance established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets of identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3 - assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company's market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgments or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment. There were no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value, with the exception of cash as of March 31, 2013.
The carrying amounts of accounts payable and notes payable approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.
Non-controlling Interests
Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests represent capital contributions, income and loss attributable to the owners of less than wholly-owned consolidated entities, and are reported in equity. Through March 31, 2013, in exchange for their interest in SHD, the non-controlling members contributed $897,465 in cash, of which $225,980 was contributed during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Pre-opening Costs
Pre-opening Costs

Pre-opening costs, such as travel and employee payroll and related training costs are expensed as incurred and included direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with the opening of each restaurant. Pre-opening costs also included non-cash rental costs under operating leases incurred during a construction period.
Inventory
Inventory
Inventory consists of food and beverages and is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and Equipment

In conjunction with the Company's Denver-based restaurant, the Company began capitalizing certain leasehold improvements, as well as equipment the Company purchased in 2012 but did not place in service until February 2013. Management reviews property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, for impairment when events or circumstances indicate these assets might be impaired. The Company's management considers, or will consider, such factors as the Company's history of losses and the disruptions in the overall economy in preparing an analysis of its property, including leasehold improvements, to determine if events or circumstances have caused these assets to be impaired. Management bases this assessment upon the carrying value versus the fair value of the asset and whether or not that difference is recoverable. Such assessment is to be performed on a restaurant-by-restaurant basis and is to include other relevant facts and circumstances including the physical condition of the asset. If management determines the carrying value of the restaurant assets exceeds the projected future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge would be recorded to reduce the carrying value of the restaurant assets to their fair value.

Leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Property and equipment within internal costs directly associated with the acquisition, development and construction of a restaurant are capitalized. Expenditures for minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Property and equipment are not depreciated/amortized until placed in service. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the accounts are relieved of cost and accumulated depreciation and the related gain or loss is reflected in earnings.
Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets

Intangible assets at March 31, 2013, represent franchise license costs for the ten planned restaurants. These costs are allocable to each restaurant location and are to be amortized beginning with each restaurant opening over the remaining ten-year term of the franchise agreement using the straight line method. The Company assesses potential impairment to intangible assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets' carrying value is not recoverable.
Capitalized Interest
Capitalized Interest

Interest on funds used to finance the acquisition and construction of a restaurant to the date the asset is placed in service is capitalized.
Leases and Deferred Rent
Leases and Deferred Rent

The Company intends to lease substantially all of its restaurant properties, and in April 2012, the Company entered into a ten-year lease for the restaurant in Denver, Colorado. For leases that contain rent escalation clauses, the Company records the total rent payable during the lease term and recognizes expense on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term, including the "build-out" or "rent-holiday" period where no rent payments are typically due under the terms of the lease. Any difference between minimum rent and straight-line rent is recorded as deferred rent. Additionally, contingent rent expense based on a percentage of revenue is accrued and recorded to the extent it is expected to exceed minimum base rent per the lease agreement based on estimates of probable levels of revenue during the contingency period. A long-term deposit on the Denver lease in the amount of $18,034 is recorded at March 31, 2013. Deferred rent also includes a tenant improvement allowance the Company received for $150,000, which is amortized as a reduction of rent expense, also on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition

The Company began revenue-generating activities through the Denver restaurant on February 21, 2013. The Company began accounting for such revenues pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, Revenue Recognition, and applicable related guidance. Revenue is derived from the sale of prepared food and beverage and select retail items. Revenue is recognized at the time of sale and is reported on the Company's consolidated statements of income (loss) net of sales taxes collected. The amount of sales tax collected is included in accrued expenses until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising Expenses

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expenses were approximately $2,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718, Share-Based Payment. ASC 718 requires the recognition of the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. ASC 718 also requires the stock-based compensation expense to be recognized over the period of service in exchange for the award (generally the vesting period). The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using an option pricing model, typically the Black-Scholes model.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is determined to be more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company determines its income tax expense in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The income tax expense includes an estimate of the current income tax expense, as well as deferred income tax expense, which results from the determination of temporary differences arising from the different treatment of items for book and tax purposes.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state and local jurisdictions.

The Company's subsidiaries (SHD and SHDH) are limited liability companies ("LLC's"). As an LLC, management believes that these companies are not subject to income taxes, and such taxes are the responsibility of the respective members.

The Company assesses the likelihood of the financial statement effect of a tax position that should be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the tax position, circumstances, and information available as of the reporting date. Management does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that would result in an asset or liability for taxes being recognized in the accompanying financial statements. The Company recognizes tax related interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense.
Net loss per share
Net loss per share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company, unless the effect of such inclusion would reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. For each of the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the effect of the inclusion of dilutive shares would have resulted in a decrease in loss per share. Common stock options, warrants and shares underlying convertible debt stock aggregating 1,869,711 and 1,457,590 as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Management has not identified any recently issued accounting standards that it believes will have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
