What practical expedient did Carbones Pizzeria elect when adopting the revenue standard?

Effective November 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605 Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the guidance provides that an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Topic 606 applies to all contracts with customers, except those that are within the scope of other topics within the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). The ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and estimates, and changes in those estimates.

The Company adopted the standard utilizing the modified retrospective method of transition and elected the practical expedient to apply the revenue standard only to contracts that were not completed as of the adoption date. The results for periods prior to November 1, 2019 were not adjusted for the new standard, and there was no cumulative effect for the change in accounting at the date of adoption.
