Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	References to “Brinker,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in this Form 10-Q refer to Brinker International, Inc. and its subsidiaries and any predecessor companies of Brinker International, Inc. Nature of Operations Our Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) as of March 25, 2020 and June 26, 2019, and for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended March 25, 2020 and March 27, 2019, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We are principally engaged in the ownership, operation, development, and franchising of the Chili’s^® Grill & Bar (“Chili’s”) and Maggiano’s Little Italy^® (“Maggiano’s”) restaurant brands. At March 25, 2020, we owned, operated or franchised 1,675 restaurants, consisting of 1,117 Company-owned restaurants and 558 franchised restaurants, located in the United States, 29 countries and two United States territories. Basis of Presentation The preparation of the consolidated financial statements is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The foreign currency translation adjustment included in Comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Unaudited) represents the unrealized impact of translating the financial statements of our Canadian restaurants from Canadian dollars to United States dollars. This amount is not included in Net income and would only be realized upon disposition of our Canadian restaurants. The related Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) is presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in our opinion, necessary to fairly state the interim operating results, financial position and cash flows for the respective periods. However, these operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our June 26, 2019 Form 10-K. We believe the disclosures are sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes. All amounts in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) are presented in millions unless otherwise specified. New Accounting Standards Adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, and subsequently amended this update by issuing additional ASU’s that provide clarification and further guidance around areas identified as potential implementation issues. These updates require a lessee to recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments and a corresponding right-of-use asset for virtually all leases, other than leases with a term of 12 months or less if the short-term lease exclusion expedient is elected. The updates also require additional disclosures about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These updates were effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, which required us to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Refer to Note 4 - Leases for disclosures about our adoption. The impact of additional accounting standard updates that have not yet been adopted can be found at Note 16 - Effect of New Accounting Standards.
