People and Culture

As of December 29, 2024, we employed approximately 10,300 Team Members in our restaurants and 390 within manufacturing and our Collaboration Center Organization. From the very beginning, our founders were focused on ensuring CAVA treated all Team Members with generosity – we believe the health and well-being of our Team Members are just as important as the health of our food. Our Employee Net Promoter Score indicates we have a highly engaged team according to Denison Consulting, which conducted our 2024 Team Member engagement survey.  

Our Values

We maintain a core set of values that guide the organization and our culture. They are:

•Generosity First, Always - We lead with kindness. Our best work happens when we act in service of others.

•Constant Curiosity - We are eager to learn, grow, and explore beyond the obvious.

•Act with Agility - We welcome change; it’s the only constant. We embrace, adjust, and adapt.

•Passion for Positivity - We greet each day with warmth and possibility.

•Collective Ambition - We have high aspirations that are achieved when we work together with a shared purpose.

Our values build upon our mission and set a clear foundation in establishing our seven core competencies for expected behavior from all Team Members, which we believe allows us to maximize opportunities for growth and development.

Talent Development

We continuously nurture our talent-rich pipeline by offering a clear promotional track for Team Members to become General Managers. A key component of our Team
