(the “Company”) have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of Company management, all adjustments have been included. Unless otherwise disclosed, all adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations for the interim periods. These unaudited financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting principles that were used in preparation of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 3, 2013. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentations. The results of operations for the twelve weeks ended May 26, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 3, 2013.falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaDisclosure of accounting policy for basis of accounting, or basis of presentation, used to prepare the financial statements (for example, US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, Other Comprehensive Basis of Accounting, IFRS).No definition available.false0Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]3false 2us-gaap_DebtPolicyTextBlockus-gaap_truenadurationfalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalseterseLabel1falsefalsefalse00The Company’s debt is reported at historical cost and is almost entirely comprised of variable rate borrowings. The market for variable rate debt for restaurant financing is currently extremely limited. The Company’s debt is not publicly traded and there are few lenders or financing transactions for similar debt in the marketplace at this time. Management has concluded that it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Company’s debt as of May 26, 2013.falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaDisclosure of accounting policy for costs incurred to obtain or issue debt, the effects of refinancings, method of amortizing deferred financing costs and original issue discount, and classifications of debt on the balance sheet.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 3 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6367646&loc=d3e18780-107790 Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 470 -SubTopic 10 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/subtopic&trid=2208565 false0Debt, Policy [Policy Text Block]4false 2us-gaap_LiquidityDisclosureTextBlockus-gaap_truenadurationfalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalseterseLabel1falsefalsefalse00The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has incurred losses in fiscal years 2013 and 2012 and has negative working capital and an accumulated deficit at May 26, 2013.  The Company has managed its liquidity in fiscal 2013 and will manage in fiscal 2014 through the refinancing of debt, the sale and leaseback of restaurant properties and the sale of additional equity.  Should the Company have difficulty meeting its forecasts, this could have an adverse effect on its liquidity position. Management has taken actions to improve its cash flows, including closely monitoring its expenses and store closings for underperforming stores and expects to be able to achieve its forecast for fiscal 2014. However, there can be no assurances that our cash flow will be sufficient to allow us to continue as a going concern if we are unable to meet our projections.falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaDisclosure of accounting policy for reporting when there is a substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time (generally a year from the balance sheet date). Disclose: (a) pertinent conditions and events giving rise to the assessment of substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, (b) the possible effects of such conditions and events, (c) management's evaluation of the significance of those conditions and events and any mitigating factors, (d) possible discontinuance of operations, (e) management's plans (including relevant prospective financial information), and (f) information about the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities. If management's plans alleviate the substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosure of the principal conditions and events that initially raised the substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern would be expected to be considered. Disclose whether operations for the current or prior years generated sufficient cash to cover current obligations, whether waivers were obtained from creditors relating to the company's default under the provisions of debt agreements and possible effects of such conditions and events, such as: whether there is a possible need to obtain additional financing (debt or equity) or to liquidate certain holdings to offset future cash flow deficiencies. Disclose appropriate parent company information when parent is dependent upon remittances from subsidiaries to satisfy its obligations.No definition available.false0Liquidity Disclosure [Policy Text Block]5false 2us-gaap_NewAccountingPronouncementsPolicyPolicyTextBlockus-gaap_truenadurationfalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalseterseLabel1falsefalsefalse00RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ASU 2013-01 Balance Sheet Topic 210, January 2013 Clarifies the scope of disclosures related to offsetting assets and liabilities. This release reduces the application of these disclosures to eliminate unintended consequences resulting from the application of a previously issued standard. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Management has determined that the application of this standard did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaDisclosure of accounting policy pertaining to new accounting pronouncements that may impact the entity's financial reporting.
