Share-based Compensation [Abstract]  
Share-Based Compensation
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION  
     Sysco provides compensation benefits to employees and non-employee directors under several share-based payment arrangements including various employee stock incentive plans, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), and various non-employee director plans. 
 
Stock Incentive Plans 
In the first 39 weeks of fiscal 2016, options to purchase 4,367,764 shares were granted to employees. The fair value of each option award is estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average grant-date fair value per option granted during the first 39 weeks of fiscal 2016 was $5.99.
In the first 39 weeks of fiscal 2016, 1,243,709 restricted stock units were granted to employees. Based on the jurisdiction in which the employee resides, some of these restricted stock units were granted with forfeitable dividend equivalents. The fair value of each restricted stock unit award granted with a dividend equivalent is based on the company’s stock price as of the date of grant. For restricted stock unit awards granted without dividend equivalents, the fair value was reduced by the present value of expected dividends during the vesting period. The weighted average grant-date fair value per restricted stock unit granted during the first 39 weeks of fiscal 2016 was $42.72

Employee Stock Purchase Plan 
     Plan participants purchased 1,021,767 shares of common stock under the ESPP during the first 39 weeks of fiscal 2016
     The weighted average fair value per share of employee stock purchase rights issued pursuant to the ESPP was $5.75 during the first 39 weeks of fiscal 2016. The fair value of the stock purchase rights is estimated as the difference between the stock price and the employee purchase price. 
 
All Share-Based Payment Arrangements  
The total share-based compensation cost that has been recognized in results of operations was $66.3 million and $61.7 million for the first 39 weeks of fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, respectively. 
     As of March 26, 2016, there was $81.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.55 years.
