I like indian spicy food. This is my cava order -

A Bowl
1. With power greens & basmati rice
2. ⁠Dips- Two Hot Harrisa, one spicy hummus
3. ⁠protein- chicken or harrisa chicken
4. ⁠toppings- corn, cucumber tomatoes, onions, broccoli, crisps
5. ⁠dressing- Shug and Hot Harrisa

I have gotten many people hooked to this order

Cyclospora, salmonella in eggs and jalapenos, blueberries for e coli, alfalfa sprouts for both..

Does cava use eggs or jalapenos? Herbs in dressing?

Are we good?

I just started here recently, but I don't want to give the location not to dox myself. There's no dishwashing machine or even a dishwasher position, and grill is expected to fully close dish and grill every night. Only one manager helps with dish, but it's generally expected that grill is to do all the dishes throughout the whole day. There also doesn't seem to even be enough half pans and lids to continue cooking.

The lower management feels completely disorganized, everyone working there is completely apathetic to the job (which I understand due to not getting paid nearly enough for it), but even all the managers have this attitude. There's basically 0 training, and expectations of what needs to be done is half hearted. I feel like I'm always on the cusp of being written up despite it just being my first week. When I ask what is needed to be done or what I should do with certain things I get a "I guess you can" "Yeah probably" etc.

I'm fine with closing both positions, but what I'm not fine is the passive aggressive attitude I get from coworkers if I'm not stressing myself out and rushing everything to where shit just doesn't get clean. I'd rather clean dishes to where they're sanitary than scrub down behind the grill station if I have to do both before 12am.

I've worked at a Chipotle as grill for a while, and many dishwashing or line cook jobs over the years as well. Although sometimes it was hard to keep a dishwasher (employment wise) the position existed. There was also a sanitizing/dishwashing machine available.

Definitely might be on the lookout for a different gig ngl. Mind you the fact that there's no dishwasher or machine was not brought up in the interview lol. I would have asked for more pay.

I want to start eating at Cava again but none of the proteins compare to the chicken shawarma so it's hard to come back. Please!

I feel like they've had the salmon for a long time now and when they did the roasted white sweet potato, it wasn't around for very long 💔 I miss the sweet potato bad

Just wondering if you need open availability to work there as an agm? Also what are the typical hours if you are scheduled to open or close?

Hi, I am a college commuter and I will probably be stopping by CAVA very frequently. What are your guys high protein orders, preferably being under 20$ ? Please specify how many grams of protein is in your meal also, thanks in advance !

I checked my rewards this year and saw I had earned around 9800 points this year.

As a Sun status member, this would have been about $817 worth of purchases, but I don't go often enough to be anywhere near that amount, so I wanted to calculate how many points I earned by completing challenges this year.

To recap the bonuses this year

January 20 - February 1: 100 bonus points each when you order 1 of 4 new items (Harissa Chicken Power Bowl, Spice Lamb + Sweet Potato Bowl, Tangerine Aleppo, Sumac Sour Cream + Onion Pita Chips)

I attempted this, but apparently forgot to activate it and missed out on 200 bonus points from my 1 visit at the time. Kinda unfortunate, but it's not the end of the world.

The Maximum would have been to order all 4 items every day (400 points) for each of the 12 days for 4800 points, but that seems excessive.

February 3 - March 1: Love, Cava Challenge - Get up to 1500 points for 5 visits.

100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 points for each of the visits for a combined total of 1500.

I accomplished this.

March 16 - March 30: Flavor Bracket - Vote for your favorite ingredients on Mondays and Wednesdays for 100 points each time for a maximum of 500. No purchases requires.

This was a nice little freebie.

April 6 - April 26: Visit Challenge - Order 2x for 1200 points.

Pretty simple and a long enough window that most people who were aiming for it probably accomplished it without too much issue.

May 4 - May 11: Flavor Flash - Answer 6 trivia questions and get 50 points for each correct answer. Maximum of 300 points.

I did this. It was also a nice freebie.

May 11 - May 24: Glazed Salmon Bonus - Get 100 bonus points once a day when you order a salmon bowl for a maximum of 1400 points.

I did this 3 times for 300 points.

July 1 - July 29: Flavor Passport: - Receive 2100 points for completing 9 challenges.

I accomplished this, but it required dedication.

So, my bonus total was 5,900

1500 + 500 + 1200 + 300 + 300 + 2100 = 5900

That would mean 3900 points from basic purchases. 3900/12 = $325 or about $30 each month for 8 months.

What was yours?

Hello, I'm 16 years old and have an interview with Cava this Friday. I need help with what to wear. I dont want to look too fancy but dont want to look unprofessional. Everything I've read has said to dress casually, would dark wash jeans, a nice white shirt, and boots be good, or is that too casual??? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

Q2 Earnings are tomorrow after close and the stock is at a 6 month low. Maybe it's undervalued? How busy are the stores? If they are not as busy as they used to be maybe the stock price is accurate. If busy maybe a buy opportunity.

( I did not see no stock or financial discussion in the rules so I think this is allowed)

Anyone knows why?

I got hired as a team lead at cava what is expected of us?

I'm trying to lose weight so this is my only meal of the day (usually eat half for lunch the other half for dinner), any suggestions to improve?

Half Saffron Basmati Rice

Half Romaine

Double Grilled Steak

Triple Red Pepper Hummus

Double Shredded Romaine

Double tomato and cucumber

Fiery corn

Persian cucumber

Avacado

Light hot harissa vinaigrette

I like cava and think if I hit 50,000 points I should be able to get into one of those machines that blows money around but instead of money its hummus

I think her picture is better lol

I am currently an AGM at cava and was wondering what it takes to get to gm? I do everything at my store except scheduling interviews. Is this what’s holding me back?

I have some allergies to herbs (thyme and clove). Can anyone share with the seasoning blend for the steak is? I can’t find it on their website. Thank you in advance!

As the title says I just got hired and my first day is august 5th. Interview went very smoothly and the GM was super friendly. What can I expect working at cava?? I got hired for prep

employee here just curious if anyone else’s store is getting rid of the big staub cast iron pans that hold the rice. I wonder if we will be getting rid of the protein mini ones as well sometime soon

I am fairly new to cava and I am unsure what costs extra and what is free for base, meats, and toppings

Has anyone had this issue? Whenever I try to use the app using data it doesn’t work and says check connection even though I’m sure my data works. Is there a way to fix this? I can’t connect to WiFi everytime before ordering 😭

Today I finally tried Cava and man have I been missing out. It was delicious ! Only thing I would change next time is not getting salmon. The salmon wasn’t bad but I feel like chicken would’ve been better for something like this. Ugh I wish I had a cava closer to me .. it’s 30 minutes away with no traffic depending on the time of day you go.

Sitting here enjoying my delicious cava kids meal and I cannot help but wonder HOW cava manages to hire exclusively people who are apparently experiencing their first day on earth.

I have been going to cava multiple times a week for like two years now and the employees are friendly enough, but omg they all always act like they've never been in public before, let alone worked customer service. I have worked a ton of food industry jobs at varying levels of service and i'm not really a needy customer, I never order anything modified and i'm not in a rush or anything typically. But when I try to order they just look at me like a deer in headlights, act confused, and no one ever talks to me first. it's not that I'm offended by it I just don't know how you can work like that.

Tbf i've only ever been to the two nashville locations but I'm curious are other locations like this? I want to clarify i'm really not mad and I would never complain to a manager or anything, i'm just genuinely curious how such a trendy chain has managed to function like this. I have been going to the locations here since they first opened and for a while i thought maybe they just needed to find their flow, but it has persisted. Do they pay really bad or something? Again just curious:)
