| ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] | ||||
| Organization and Business |
Committed Capital Acquisition Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on January 24, 2006 for the purpose of raising capital that is intended to be used in connection with its business plans which may include a possible merger, acquisition or other business combination with an operating business (the "initial business transaction").
At September 30, 2013, the Company is in the development stage as defined in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 915. All activities of the Company to that date relate to its organization, initial funding, share issuances and the Offering (defined below) and initial search activities toward finding a candidate for the initial business transaction. All dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.
On May 27, 2011, the Company commenced the process for conversion to a special purpose acquisition corporation. In connection with this conversion, the Company filed a Form S-1 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its offering to sell up to 5,000,000 units at a price of $5.00 per unit (the "Offering"). The underwriters for the Offering were granted an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 750,000 units for 45 days after the effectiveness of the registration statement for the Offering. The lead underwriter for the Offering is a related party; see Note 3.
In connection with the Offering, the Company's initial stockholders ("initial stockholders") and designees committed to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $5.00 per share in a private placement which would occur concurrently with the closing of the Company's initial business transaction.
On October 24, 2011, the registration statement in connection with the Offering was declared effective.
On October 28, 2011, the Company closed on the Offering, including the exercise in full of the over-allotment option, and issued equity units consisting of 5,750,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 5,750,000 shares of common stock (as described above) in exchange for gross proceeds of $28,750,000. The costs of the Offering were approximately $404,000.
Through September 30, 2013, our efforts had been limited to organizational activities, activities relating to our initial public offering, or the Offering, and our efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates. No revenue has been generated since inception (January 24, 2006) to September 30, 2013.
Since the closing of the Offering until the consummation of our initial business transaction, the gross proceeds were held in a trust account. The trust account was invested in U.S. "government securities," defined as any Treasury Bill or equivalent securities issued by the United States government having a maturity of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less or money market funds meeting the conditions specified in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, until the earlier of (i) the consummation of an initial business transaction or (ii) the distribution of the trust account.
Investment securities in the trust account at September 30, 2013 consisted of an Institutional Money Market Account that met the conditions specified in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
On October 16, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to complete its initial business combination when its wholly-owned subsidiary merged with and into The One Group, LLC, as further described in Note 6 - Subsequent Events - Initial Business Transaction and Private Placement. |

| Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheets and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

| Valuation of Investments in Securities at Fair Value - Definition and Hierarchy |
(d) Valuation of Investments in Securities at Fair Value - Definition and Hierarchy:
In accordance with GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. A fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumption about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 - Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, the type of investment, whether the investment is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company's own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many securities. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy. |

| Income Taxes |
(e) Income Taxes:
The Company complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which require an asset and liability approach to financial reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. ASC Topic 740 only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities for all tax years subsequent to 2009. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company reviewed its tax positions and determined there were no outstanding or retroactive tax positions that did not meet the "more likely than not" criteria upon examination by the taxing authorities. Therefore, this standard has not had a material effect on the Company.
The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its total unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
The Company classifies tax-related penalties and net interest as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from inception (January 24, 2006) to September 30, 2013, no income tax expense has been incurred. State franchise taxes are included in general and administrative costs and totaled approximately $45,000, $135,000, $40,000 and $120,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and approximately $401,000 for the period from inception (January 24, 2006) to September 30, 2013. The Company has filed its state franchise tax returns for 2011 and 2012 however it has not paid the taxes due. As such, the Company has included approximately $31,000 of late payment penalties in the amount of tax accrued. |

| Loss Per Share of Common Stock |
Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period. Because the Company reported a net loss in all periods presented, the warrants to purchase 5,750,000 shares of common stock issued in connection with the Offering have not been included in the diluted net loss per share since these securities would reduce the loss per common share and become anti-dilutive.
