Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | BASIS OF PRESENTATION Nature of operations — Jack in the Box Inc. (the “Company”), together with its consolidated subsidiaries, develops, operates, and franchises quick-service restaurants under the Jack in the Box ® and Del Taco ® restaurant brands. On March 8, 2022, the Company acquired Del Taco Restaurants, Inc. (“Del Taco”) for cash according to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 5, 2021. Del Taco is a nationwide operator and franchisor of restaurants featuring fresh and fast Mexican and American inspired cuisines. As of April 16, 2023, there were 140 company-operated and 2,047 franchise-operated Jack in the Box restaurants and 273 company-operated and 322 franchise-operated Del Taco restaurants. References to the Company throughout these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements are made using the first person notations of “we,” “us” and “our.” Basis of presentation — The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2022 (“2022 Form 10-K”). The accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in our 2022 Form 10-K. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition and results of operations for these interim periods have been included. Operating results for one interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim period or for the full year. Fiscal year — The Company’s fiscal year is 52 or 53 weeks ending the Sunday closest to September 30. Our Del Taco subsidiary operates on a fiscal year ending the Tuesday closest to September 30. Fiscal years 2023 and 2022 include 52 weeks. Our first quarter includes 16 weeks and all other quarters include 12 weeks. All comparisons between 2023 and 2022 refer to the 12 weeks (“quarter”) and 28 weeks (year-to-date”) ended April 16, 2023 and April 17, 2022, respectively, unless otherwise indicated. Use of estimates — In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make certain assumptions and estimates that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the disclosure of contingencies. In making these assumptions and estimates, management may from time to time seek advice and consider information provided by actuaries and other experts in a particular area. Actual amounts could differ materially from these estimates. Advertising costs — The Company administers marketing funds at each of its restaurant brands that include contractual contributions. In 2023 and 2022, marketing fund contributions from Jack in the Box franchise and company-operated restaurants were approximately 5.0% of sales, and marketing fund contributions from Del Taco franchise and company-operated restaurants were approximately 4.0% of sales. Year-to-date incremental contributions made by the Company for Jack in the Box brand were less than $0.1 million in 2023. No incremental contributions were made in 2022. Total contributions made by the Company are included in “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of earnings and for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $9.2 million and $21.3 million, respectively, in 2023 and $7.1 million and $13.1 million, respectively, in 2022. Allowance for credit losses — The Company closely monitors the financial condition of its franchisees and estimates the allowance for credit losses based on the lifetime expected loss on receivables. These estimates are based on historical collection experience with franchisees as well as other factors, including current market conditions and events. Credit quality is monitored through the timing of payments compared to predefined aging criteria and known facts regarding the financial condition of the franchisee or customer. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after recovery efforts have ceased. The following table summarizes the activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts (in thousands) : Year-to-date April 16, April 17, Balance as of beginning of period $ (5,975) $ (6,292) Reversal (provision) for expected credit losses 1,911 (3,445) Write-offs charged against the allowance — 3,993 Balance as of end of period $ (4,064) $ (5,744) Business combinations — The Company accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets, is recorded as goodwill. Recent accounting pronouncements — The Company reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
REVENUE | REVENUE Nature of products and services — The Company derives revenue from retail sales at Jack in the Box and Del Taco company-operated restaurants and rental revenue, royalties, advertising, and franchise and other fees from franchise-operated restaurants. Our franchise arrangements generally provide for an initial franchise fee per restaurant for a 20-year term, and generally require that franchisees pay royalty and marketing fees based upon a percentage of gross sales. The agreements also require franchisees to pay technology fees, as well as sourcing fees for Jack in the Box franchise agreements. Disaggregation of revenue — The following table disaggregates revenue by segment and primary source for the quarter ended April 16, 2023 (in thousands) : Quarter Year-to-date Jack in the Box Del Taco Total Jack in the Box Del Taco Total Company restaurant sales $ 95,489 $ 107,115 $ 202,604 $ 221,631 $ 251,164 $ 472,795 Franchise rental revenues 80,910 2,610 83,520 187,006 5,344 192,350 Franchise royalties 46,401 5,657 52,058 113,970 12,591 126,561 Marketing fees 46,486 4,609 51,095 106,830 10,263 117,093 Technology and sourcing fees 3,875 668 4,543 8,844 1,386 10,230 Franchise fees and other services 1,671 253 1,924 3,468 343 3,811 Total revenue $ 274,832 $ 120,912 $ 395,744 $ 641,749 $ 281,091 $ 922,840 The following table disaggregates revenue by segment and primary source for the quarter ended April 17, 2022 (in thousands) : Quarter Year-to-date Jack in the Box Del Taco Total Jack in the Box Del Taco Total Company restaurant sales $ 94,250 $ 57,059 $ 151,309 $ 214,306 $ 57,059 $ 271,365 Franchise rental revenues 75,692 864 76,556 178,791 864 179,655 Franchise royalties 42,933 2,645 45,578 100,581 2,645 103,226 Marketing fees 41,390 2,158 43,548 97,191 2,158 99,349 Technology and sourcing fees 3,575 205 3,780 8,575 205 8,780 Franchise fees and other services 1,497 26 1,523 4,604 26 4,630 Total revenue $ 259,337 $ 62,957 $ 322,294 $ 604,048 $ 62,957 $ 667,005 In October 2022, a Jack in the Box franchise operator paid the Company $7.3 million in order to sell his restaurants to a new franchisee at the current standard royalty rate, which is lower than the royalty rate in the existing franchise agreements. The payment represented the difference between the existing royalty rate and the new royalty rate based on projected future sales for the remaining term of the existing agreements. The payment is non-refundable and not subject to any adjustments based on actual future sales. The Company determined the transaction represented the termination of the existing agreement rather than the transfer of an agreement between franchisees. As such, the $7.3 million was recognized in franchise royalty revenue during the first quarter of 2023. Contract liabilities — Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue resulting from initial franchise and development fees received from franchisees for new restaurant openings or new franchise terms, which are recognized over the franchise term. The Company classifies these contract liabilities as “Accrued liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. A summary of significant changes in contract liabilities is presented below (in thousands) : Year-to-date April 16, April 17, Deferred franchise and development fees at beginning of period $ 46,449 $ 41,520 Changes due to business combinations — 6,193 Revenue recognized (2,934) (2,995) Additions 3,332 2,379 Deferred franchise and development fees at end of period $ 46,847 $ 47,097 As of April 16, 2023, approximately $6.6 million of development fees related to unopened stores are included in deferred revenue. Timing of revenue recognition for development fees related to unopened stores is dependent upon the timing of store openings and are recognized over the franchise term at the date of opening. The following table reflects the estimated franchise fees to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of April 16, 2023 (in thousands) : Remainder of 2023 $ 2,359 2024 4,924 2025 4,688 2026 4,361 2027 4,004 Thereafter 19,892 $ 40,228 The Company has applied the optional exemption, as provided for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which allows us to not disclose the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations when the transaction price is a sales-based royalty. |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
BUSINESS COMBINATION | BUSINESS COMBINATION On March 8, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interest of Del Taco for cash according to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 5, 2021. Jack in the Box acquired Del Taco as a part of the Company’s goal to gain greater scale and accelerate growth. Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2022 for further discussion regarding the acquisition, including the purchase consideration, purchase price allocation, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. Unaudited pro forma results — The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information presents the Company’s results as though Del Taco and the Company had been combined as of the beginning of fiscal year 2021 ( in thousands ): Quarter Year-to-date April 17, April 17, Total revenue $ 382,051 $ 885,082 Net earnings $ 21,830 $ 50,696 The unaudited pro forma financial information for all periods presented includes the business combination accounting effects resulting from the acquisition, mainly including adjustments to reflect additional amortization expense from acquired intangibles, incremental depreciation expense from the fair value property and equipment, elimination of historical interest expense associated with both Del Taco’s and the Company’s historical indebtedness, additional interest expense associated with the new Del Taco revolving credit facility and the Company’s new borrowings as part of the refinancing to fund the acquisition, adjusted rent expense reflecting the acquired right-of-use assets and liabilities to their estimated acquisition-date values based upon valuation of related lease intangibles and remaining payments, as well as the fair value adjustments made to leasehold improvements, certain material non-recurring adjustments and the tax-related effects as though Del Taco was combined as of the beginning of fiscal 2021. The unaudited pro forma financial information as presented above is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2021, nor is it necessarily an indication of trends in future results for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare the pro forma information, cost savings from operating efficiencies, potential synergies, and the impact of incremental costs incurred in integrating the businesses. For the periods subsequent to the acquisition that are included in the quarter and year-to-date of 2022, Del Taco had total revenues of $63.0 million and net earnings of $2.5 million. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
LEASES | LEASES Nature of leases — The Company owns restaurant sites and also leases restaurant sites from third parties. Some of these owned or leased sites are leased and/or subleased to franchisees. Initial terms of our real estate leases are generally 20 years, exclusive of options to renew, which are generally exercisable at our sole discretion for 1 to 20 years. In some instances, our leases have provisions for contingent rentals based upon a percentage of defined revenues. Many of our restaurants also have rent escalation clauses and require the payment of property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs. Variable lease costs include contingent rent, cost-of-living index adjustments, and payments for additional rent such as real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance, which are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability. As lessor, our leases and subleases primarily consist of restaurants that have been leased to franchisees in connection with refranchising transactions. Revenues from leasing arrangements with our franchisees are presented in “Franchise rental revenues” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of earnings, and the related expenses are presented in “Franchise occupancy expenses.” The following table presents rental income ( in thousands ): Quarter Year-to-date April 16, April 17, April 16, April 17, Operating lease income - franchise $ 55,713 $ 52,988 $ 129,233 $ 124,345 Variable lease income - franchise 27,744 23,540 62,979 55,282 Amortization of favorable and unfavorable sublease contracts, net 63 28 138 28 Franchise rental revenues $ 83,520 $ 76,556 $ 192,350 $ 179,655 Operating lease income - closed restaurants and other (1) $ 1,785 $ 1,407 $ 4,025 $ 3,065 ____________________________ (1) Primarily relates to closed restaurant properties included in “Other operating (income) expenses, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of earnings. |

Non-financial assets and liabilities — The Company’s non-financial instruments, which primarily consist of property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, goodwill and intangible assets, are reported at carrying value and are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, on an annual basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable, non-financial instruments are assessed for impairment. If applicable, the carrying values are written down to fair value. In connection with our impairment reviews performed during 2023, no material fair value adjustments were required. |

SEGMENT REPORTING | SEGMENT REPORTING The Company’s principal business consists of developing, operating and franchising our Jack in the Box and Del Taco restaurant brands, each of which is considered a reportable operating segment. This segment reporting structure reflects our current management structure, internal reporting method and financial information used in deciding how to allocate our resources. Based upon certain quantitative thresholds, each operating segment is considered a reportable segment. The Company measures and evaluates our segments based on segment revenues and segment profit. Our measure of segment profit excludes depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, company-owned life insurance (“COLI”) gains/losses, net of changes in our non-qualified deferred compensation obligation supported by these policies, acquisition, integration, and restructuring costs, gains on the sale of company-operated restaurants, and amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases and subleases, net.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXESThe income tax provisions reflect effective tax rate of 34.8% in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 33.3% in the prior year, and 29.6% for the year-to-date period, compared with 27.8% in the same period in fiscal year 2022. The major components of the year-over-year increase in tax rates were the impact of estimated disposals of non-deductible goodwill attributable to refranchising transactions, partially offset by non-taxable gains in the current year as opposed to non-deductible losses in the prior year from the market performance of insurance products used to fund certain non-qualified retirement plans and non-deductible transaction costs resulting from the Del Taco acquisition recorded in the prior year. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal matters — The Company assesses contingencies, including litigation contingencies, to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual in our financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in the financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. When evaluating litigation contingencies, we may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the availability of appellate remedies, insurance coverage related to the claim or claims in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matter. In addition, damage amounts claimed in litigation against us may be unsupported, exaggerated, or unrelated to possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of our potential liability or financial exposure. The Company regularly reviews contingencies to determine the adequacy of the accruals and related disclosures. The ultimate amount of loss may differ from these estimates. Any estimate is not an indication of expected loss, if any, or of the Company’s maximum possible loss exposure and the ultimate amount of loss may differ materially from these estimates in the near term. Gessele v. Jack in the Box Inc. — In August 2010, five former Jack in the Box employees instituted litigation in federal court in Oregon alleging claims under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and Oregon wage and hour laws. The plaintiffs alleged that Jack in the Box failed to pay non-exempt employees for certain meal breaks and improperly made payroll deductions for shoe purchases and for workers’ compensation expenses, and later added additional claims relating to timing of final pay and related wage and hour claims involving employees of a franchisee. In 2016, the court dismissed the federal claims and those relating to franchise employees. In June 2017, the court granted class certification with respect to state law claims of improper deductions and late payment of final wages. On October 24, 2022, a jury awarded the plaintiffs approximately $6.4 million in damages and penalties. The Company continues to dispute liability and the damage award and will defend against both through post-trial motions and all other available appellate remedies. As of April 16, 2023, the Company has accrued the verdict amount as well as estimated pre-judgment interest of $6.6 million, and included it within “Accrued liabilities” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Torrez — In March 2014, a former Del Taco employee filed a purported Private Attorneys General Act claim and class action alleging various causes of action under California’s labor, wage, and hour laws. The plaintiff generally alleges Del Taco did not appropriately provide meal and rest breaks and failed to pay wages and reimburse business expenses to its California non-exempt employees. On November 12, 2021, the court granted, in part, the plaintiff's motion for class certification. The parties participated in a voluntary mediation on May 24, 2022 and June 3, 2022. On June 4, 2022, we entered into a Settlement Memorandum of Understanding (the “Agreement”) which obligates the Company to pay a gross settlement amount of $50.0 million, for which in exchange we will be released from all claims by the parties. The Agreement contains no admission of wrongdoing and is contingent upon various conditions, including, but not limited to, court approvals. There can be no assurance that the Agreement will be approved by the court nor upheld if challenged on appeal. As of April 16, 2023, the Company has accrued the settlement amount, and included it within “Accrued liabilities” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. J&D Restaurant Group — On April 17, 2019, the trustee for a bankrupt former franchisee filed a complaint generally alleging the Company wrongfully terminated the franchise agreements and unreasonably denied two perspective purchasers the former franchisee presented. The parties participated in a mediation in April 2021, and again in December 2022, but the matter did not settle. Trial commenced on January 9, 2023. On February 8, 2023, the jury returned a verdict finding the Company had not breached any contracts in terminating the franchise agreements or denying the proposed buyers. While the jury also found the Company had not violated the California Unfair Practices Act, it found for the plaintiff on the claim for breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and awarded $8.0 million in damages. On May 9, 2023, the court granted the Company’s post-trial motion, overturning the jury verdict and ordering the plaintiff take nothing on its claims. As a result, the Company reversed the prior $8.0 million accrual, and as of April 16, 2023, the Company has no amounts accrued for this case on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. Other legal matters — In addition to the matters described above, we are subject to normal and routine litigation brought by former or current employees, customers, franchisees, vendors, landlords, shareholders, or others. The Company intends to defend ourselves in any such matters. Some of these matters may be covered, at least in part, by insurance or other third-party indemnity obligation. The Company records receivables from third party insurers when recovery has been determined to be probable. Lease guarantees — The Company remains contingently liable for certain leases relating to our former Qdoba business which we sold in fiscal 2018. Under the Qdoba Purchase Agreement, the buyer has indemnified the Company of all claims related to these guarantees. As of April 16, 2023, the maximum potential liability of future undiscounted payments under these leases is approximately $21.8 million. The lease terms extend for a maximum of approximately 15 more years and we would remain a guarantor of the leases in the event the leases are extended for any established renewal periods. In the event of default, we believe the exposure is limited due to contractual protections and recourse available in the lease agreements, as well as the Qdoba Purchase Agreement, including a requirement of the landlord to mitigate damages by re-letting the properties in default, and indemnity from the Buyer. The Company has not recorded a liability for these guarantees as we believe the likelihood of making any future payments is remote. |

Nature of operations | Nature of operations — Jack in the Box Inc. (the “Company”), together with its consolidated subsidiaries, develops, operates, and franchises quick-service restaurants under the Jack in the Box ® and Del Taco ® restaurant brands. |
Basis of presentation | Basis of presentation — The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2022 (“2022 Form 10-K”). The accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in our 2022 Form 10-K. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition and results of operations for these interim periods have been included. Operating results for one interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim period or for the full year. |
Fiscal year | Fiscal year — The Company’s fiscal year is 52 or 53 weeks ending the Sunday closest to September 30. Our Del Taco subsidiary operates on a fiscal year ending the Tuesday closest to September 30. Fiscal years 2023 and 2022 include 52 weeks. Our first quarter includes 16 weeks and all other quarters include 12 weeks. All comparisons between 2023 and 2022 refer to the 12 weeks (“quarter”) and 28 weeks (year-to-date”) ended April 16, 2023 and April 17, 2022, respectively, unless otherwise indicated. |
Use of estimates | Use of estimates — In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make certain assumptions and estimates that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the disclosure of contingencies. In making these assumptions and estimates, management may from time to time seek advice and consider information provided by actuaries and other experts in a particular area. Actual amounts could differ materially from these estimates. |
Advertising costs | Advertising costs — The Company administers marketing funds at each of its restaurant brands that include contractual contributions. In 2023 and 2022, marketing fund contributions from Jack in the Box franchise and company-operated restaurants were approximately 5.0% of sales, and marketing fund contributions from Del Taco franchise and company-operated restaurants were approximately 4.0% of sales. Year-to-date incremental contributions made by the Company for Jack in the Box brand were less than $0.1 million in 2023. No incremental contributions were made in 2022. Total contributions made by the Company are included in “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of earnings and for the quarter and year-to-date totaled $9.2 million and $21.3 million, respectively, in 2023 and $7.1 million and $13.1 million, respectively, in 2022. |
Allowance for credit losses | Allowance for credit losses — The Company closely monitors the financial condition of its franchisees and estimates the allowance for credit losses based on the lifetime expected loss on receivables. These estimates are based on historical collection experience with franchisees as well as other factors, including current market conditions and events. Credit quality is monitored through the timing of payments compared to predefined aging criteria and known facts regarding the financial condition of the franchisee or customer. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after recovery efforts have ceased. |
Business combinations | Business combinations — The Company accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets, is recorded as goodwill. |
