Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events In April 2012, the Company revised its area operating partner program for restaurants opened on or after January 1, 2012. For these restaurants, an area operating partner is required, as a condition of employment, to make a deposit of $10,000 within 30 days of the opening of each new restaurant that he or she oversees, up to a maximum deposit of $50,000 (taking into account investments under prior programs). This deposit gives the area operating partner the right to monthly payments based on a percentage of his or her restaurants’ monthly cash flows for the duration of the employment agreement, typically ranging from 4.0% to 4.5%. After the restaurant has been open for a five-year period, the area operating partner will receive a bonus equal to a multiple of the area operating partner's average monthly payments for the 24 months immediately preceding the bonus date. The bonus will be paid within 90 days or over a two-year period, depending on the bonus amount. Effective May 7, 2012, the Company appointed David Deno as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Under the material terms of Mr. Deno's employment, he will receive a one-time grant of options to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock of Bloomin' Brands subject to the terms of the Bloomin' Brands 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. The options have standard vesting of five years contingent upon continued employment with the Company. On May 10, 2012, the Company entered into a first amendment to its management agreement with Kangaroo Management Company I, LLC (the “Management Company”), whose members are entities affiliated with Bain Capital Partners, LLC ("Bain Capital") and Catterton Management Company, LLC ("Catterton") and Chris T. Sullivan, Robert D. Basham and J. Timothy Gannon (the “Founders”). This amendment provides that if the management agreement is terminated due to an initial public offering ("IPO") of Bloomin' Brands in 2012, the Management Company will receive, within 60 days of completion of the IPO, but in all events on or before December 31, 2012, a termination fee of $8.0 million. This termination fee will be paid in addition to the pro-rated periodic fee as provided in the management agreement and the management agreement will terminate immediately prior to an IPO. On May 10, 2012, the retention bonus and the performance-based bonus with the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") were amended. The amendment to the bonus agreements provides that if Bloomin' Brands completes an IPO in 2012, the remaining payments under each agreement are accelerated to a single lump sum payment of $22.4 million payable within 60 days of the completion of the IPO, but in all events on or before December 31, 2012, provided she is employed as CEO at the time of such IPO.
