Description: CAVA CAVA October 30, 2025

CAVA Group, Inc. operates a fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant chain across the United States, supplements its brand with packaged dips, spreads, and dressings sold in grocery outlets, and runs its own online and mobile ordering platforms. Founded in 2006, the company is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and trades on the NYSE under the ticker “CAVA.”

Key recent metrics: FY 2023 reported revenue of approximately $1.2 billion, reflecting a 12% year-over-year increase driven largely by a 15% rise in same-store sales and a 20% jump in digital order volume. The fast-casual sector continues to benefit from consumer preference for higher-quality, customizable meals, while inflationary pressure on food costs and labor remains a material risk to margin expansion.
