@@austinchild6500 Cutting cost is a much more effective way to boost profit. It's simple math: Restaurants like this usually have profit margins around 6-10%. Let's say they make $1.10 for every dollar they spend. If they increase sales by say 20% without increasing expenses, then profit increases 20%. But if they cut costs by 20%, profit increases by 200%, it triples. This fact is the reason why quality across the board has been on a downward trend towards "minimum viable product" for decades now. Cutting costs is just too effective of a way to make money.
That’s only if you stay private like in and out. Once you list your ass on the NYSE your only goal is growth, otherwise what’s the point of going public
In Santa Monica - No one is opening waiter/receptionist driven spots anymore. Eventually we will not even be allowed inside the place- we will order via QR code and they'll shove the food out of a service window and they'll tell you keep moving!

@kevinwang1211 The Bridgewater location? O boy. 1. Constantly out of ingredients. 2. Long lines due to inefficiency with workers - You'll notice 1-2 workers producing the bowls while 1 of them doesn't know what they're doing. 3. Takeout inefficiency - App will give specified time but order won't be ready for 20-30 min over. You'll notice a crowd of people waiting for takeout. 4. Staff Turnover - one Sunday in late spring, they had 2 workers working. They continued to take in online orders. They eventually turned customers away and gave refunds on takeout orders. The staff is completely new since then. This has to do with all the ingredients Cava carries, requires a lot of prep especially for busy locations like Bridgewater. I live within 5 min of this location and wish management would figure it out here. I want Cava to succeed, I hold the stock and their food, when finally made with all ingredients requested, is tremendous. I was there this Monday and still had issues :(.
@kevinwang1211it's so loud in that location. The workers turn the ventilation hood off and the diningroom fills with smoke. They hire workers who don't speak English and place them where you have to tell them your order.
I thought Zoe's Kitchen was average, but when Cava took over they took what was passable about Zoe's for a healthy busy weeknight meal and turned it all into slop in a bowl or on a weird cakey faux pita. I don't mind the fast, casual cafeteria choose your toppings style, but it should be prices as to what you are getting. At this point I have given up on eating out even though I can afford it. The gap in value us just too wide to justify paying for the convienence. A single meal will run you about $18 at Cava. I can take the same money and buy the meat, a pack of pita and container of salad bar toppings/dressing to feed at least 4-6 adults with an additional purchase of dessert or sodas to go with it.
Never heard of them. In Chicago we've already got stuff like this, Benjyahuda and Roti to name two, not to mention small mom and pop shops that do this but better in every regard.
All the employees at CNBC are yelling at each other to purchase this stock, before they publish this sales pitch for CAVA 😂😂😂 CAVA’s check to CNBC is in the post 😂😂😂

The corporate speak is killing you because you're a meme stock trader. You don't have the brain power to understand finance. You buy broken bankrupt companies like Sears and Bed Bath and Beyond. GameStop is your biggest holding.
Obviously but school cafeteria food is/was trash unhealthy not fresh. And work cafeteria food isn't open 7 days a week 12hrs a day and have multiple locations. There's a proven success model here
I don't know. This type of pump & dump scheme has a throwback feel to it... It's sort of like how they used matchsticks instead of crypto in the 1920s.
Order through their app for pickup ended up being more than $18 with no extra add ons whatsoever. Meat portions were disappointing for that kinda price. They said they didn't RAISE the price making it a good value. Thats laughable😂. Won't be back!
@@AL14 No but I think you A re L ost A L. I did comment on what was said in the video in regard to 'Value'. Pay attention or pay too much it's up to you
Finally someone says it waaaay overhyped. Same happened to me small portions weird flavors and the people were unhelpful. If you ask them a question they just point to the sign and just say read the menu.
I can't speak for everyone but I would say Cava is only preferred for lunch. Can't get something healthy and tasty for lunch on the street these days. Would never get it for dinner. Workplace culture of packing lunch is also non existent. Many friends get stipend for lunch. Def a diff product market fit
investors have invested in cava so that is why they love cava. why else would they be called investors then? as if health food can be cheaper that junk food in a capitalist system
At some point, the growth of businesses like this will eventually peak and they will need to make stupid decisions just to please the investors. That's when people walk away and the next one pops up.
@bicgohill8756 i live in Central VA and we have a couple of options like Cava - doing similar things. Personally, I love the flavors and the freshness.
An ounce of meat, with mostly rice, and vegetables. I can't see the value for most consumers, but hey I can't be convinced to pay $10 plus for a bowl that consist of 80% rice.
I don't trust their hygiene at all. Every CAVA I've been seems to have food scraps all over the place, tables not wiped down and dirty bathrooms. Offering 38 freshly made items on the menu is great but ultimately leaves less time for staff to keep the restaurant and kitchen sanitary. Noticed the same thing with Cafe Rio and Blaze Pizza. More complicated menu = more mess.
I've been an investor in Apple, gold, housing market as well because I strongly believe in them, I've always believed in the stock but now I don't know if to re-distribute my portfolio and put some money in Nvidia or Tesla especially now that we are experiencing a market correction
Both stocks have a long term potential, The most important thing is the ratio of the distribution based on the financials of each company. There are many other companies that are also doing well. You could just hire a financial advisor to guide you. A financial advisor really does help me do the distribution even between different asset classes. I don't even understand technical financial terms much. I just know I make really good profit, and I don't have to stress myself a lot
I've got similar problems and I have also considered using an FA but I don't know how to go about it. Please, what are the steps for getting one? Like a really good one
I remember trying Chipotle for the first time in the US, and then it came to Canada. This summer, had Cava for the first time in California and now eager for them to come to Vancouver
@@therealBlackTomato Absolutely. They (finance media) want us to believe that these valuations are absolutely organic. They’re (small hats) are basically the mafia.
CAVA is like the Subway of Mediterranean food except it's more expensive and less customizable. You go in hoping for a healthy, flavorful meal, and leave with a bowl that looks like someone just tossed a salad into a blender and called it gourmet. Their ingredients are supposed to be fresh, but somehow your falafel tastes like it's been in a marathon through a desert. And don't get me started on the portion sizes-it's like they're serving "artisan" bites meant for a toddler. You pay $15 for a bowl that’s basically 50% lettuce, 30% hummus, and 20% disappointment.
It’s pretty good stop capping, it’s just high calories because all the oily dressing. But you can make it healthy by only adding the right ingredients.
It’s pretty good, They have a lot of sauces and flavors and the toppings are fresh, if you try harissa sauce is good, the spicy hummus, and their harissa chicken(cost a little more) is good

Funny how most large companies are made by a small business owner but let’s hope they don’t make any sort of success cause then you’ll stop supporting them 🤣
I haven't eaten there in several years but it DESTROYED chipolte and several other fast casuals in the area when I did. Just way better macros, much fresher veggies, and more appetizing presentation. Everything else has gotten worse the past few years so maybe it has too but it was definitely the best in its bracket circa 2020
Cava is just so good. I knew about Cava before they even expanded to when they did now. Good, healthy options that's also filling what more can I ask for? The only other Mediterranean fast casual competitor is Taim Mediterranean but you dont get the value you do with Cava. I love Cava. I just hope they dont lose their touch on their recipes with their expansion
As a meditarrean myself, our food is the one of best in the world because it's healthy and has a lot of variety and very few spices. Olive oil, salt and maybe some oregano and that's it. That itself it's the baseline for a perfect food chain. Combine that with good management and large scale and that's a game winner. The thing is: here in south Europe we don't need that food chain so that's why nobody capitalizes on that. Good for Mr. Schulman for having that vision!
Cava is always busy and super slow to make orders by me. My local restaurant consistently makes mistakes on to go orders and door dashers are always messaging that they are “waiting for the order at the restaurant even if it’s been a 30 minutes after the order was submitted and acknowledged.
It's totally delicious food. I live about 20-30 minutes away from one, in two different directions. I always value the time that I have at each place, and am definitely a rewards member. ***PRO TIP** If you like lamb, their braised lamb is some of the best out there. 😉
They'll go on a massive expansion fuelled by debt just in time for consumer taste to change to the next best thing. The CEO will get a golden parachute, 'reorganize' the business and let the franchisees and mom/pop investors holding the bag.
Whenever CNBC talo about a company/stock. They are trying to provide exit liquidity for the big dawgs. Be careful buying this. Speaking as a someone who bought 15 $50 2025 calls last year and made good money. I am now slowly entering a short position. Some atm puts 6months out. Glad if you read this and make money
Same with Sweet Green, they both ran about 300%+ since Oct of 2023. In the same period SPY is up about 50%. It's the general market expectation of continuation of economic growth and rate cut at the same time. mandate return to office is likely a huge factor in their revenue growth. Just as video mentioned Sweet Green isn't profitable, but it doesn't change the fact that it's running like it's making billions. lol. Stock Market Market.
I ate at one of these a few months ago. I liked it so much that I invested some money in it right after. I'm already up 45%. I wish I had more to put in.
As an Uber driver I picked up an order from here, the manager asked if I was hungry, and made me a chicken & rice bowl to go for free. I would never had stopped to eat here, but it was so good now I'm an avid customer. More restaurants should do this.
I feel dumb sometimes. Hell, I’m nearly 60 in a few years. I never heard of CAVA and I’ve been in Los Angeles 3 years. I could be because I’m homeless living in my car, but I work in Beverly Hills and travel DTLA and still haven’t seen or heard of store until this video. I also lived in Mississippi, Texas and Atlanta nearly 20 years and haven’t heard of CAVA. That may be to its operating history 👀💰👍🏿.
Yep, once the place has a proven record of turning a profit Wall Street will want more and more of it...the restaurant has to start raising prices and nickel and diming the customer.
so this is what i don't understand, why do people/business advisors/mentors, etc, always tell you when you have an entrepreneurial endeavor, to open a business that is new/unique, and fills a void that no other business is filling--when all this video told me was to replicate what is already out there and make that your business?
I ate there once and had a bunch of steak and red spicy stuff mixed with healthy looking green stuff and it tasted good to me. I had to continuously ask for more steak though. So something tells me that people are generally going to settle for smaller portions. I wanted my money's worth though 😅
This is amazing and another level. Imagine a restaurant performing like this. Surely i need to share with some people in my country Uganda. We have alot to learn from US. Kudos CAVA

As a meditarrean myself, our food is the one of best in the world because it's healthy and has a lot of variety and very few spices. Olive oil, salt and maybe some oregano and that's it. That itself it's the baseline for a perfect food chain. Combine that with good management and large scale and that's a game winner. The thing is: here in south Europe we don't need that food chain so that's why nobody capitalizes on that. Good for Mr. Schulman for having that vision!
Cava is always busy and super slow to make orders by me. My local restaurant consistently makes mistakes on to go orders and door dashers are always messaging that they are “waiting for the order at the restaurant even if it’s been a 30 minutes after the order was submitted and acknowledged.
Service at the Cava near me is ABSOLUTELY horrendous.
Well done!
It's totally delicious food. I live about 20-30 minutes away from one, in two different directions. I always value the time that I have at each place, and am definitely a rewards member.
***PRO TIP**
If you like lamb, their braised lamb is some of the best out there. 😉
Cava is so goooood. So I would too
I definitely clicked on this because I thought the title said “Canva.” 🤦🏻♂️ then I was like, why is there food?
Then I was like, “What’s Cava?”
Everyone loves these stores when they first takeoff, then when they’re massively successful, they get bashed. Panera, chipotle, subway, etc
A white dude named Brett selling Mediterranean food. That makes sense.
And we've got Mediterranean dudes speaking English, I know it's crazy
Leave me out of this 😂
I guess 'people can only cook their own national food of origin' is a take, but you're hardly living up to your screenname with that bruh
You do realize there are Mediterranean countries in Europe right
@@merrittpalmer4349 He doesn't know.
Love cava ❤so clean and amazing
Would love to see stuff like this in the UK!
No you wouldn't. It's nasty
They'll go on a massive expansion fuelled by debt just in time for consumer taste to change to the next best thing. The CEO will get a golden parachute, 'reorganize' the business and let the franchisees and mom/pop investors holding the bag.
Whenever CNBC talo about a company/stock. They are trying to provide exit liquidity for the big dawgs. Be careful buying this. Speaking as a someone who bought 15 $50 2025 calls last year and made good money. I am now slowly entering a short position. Some atm puts 6months out. Glad if you read this and make money
Same with Sweet Green, they both ran about 300%+ since Oct of 2023. In the same period SPY is up about 50%. It's the general market expectation of continuation of economic growth and rate cut at the same time. mandate return to office is likely a huge factor in their revenue growth. Just as video mentioned Sweet Green isn't profitable, but it doesn't change the fact that it's running like it's making billions. lol.
Stock Market Market.
Yes there was no competition to chipotle and CaVA did the right thing!
Really love watching your video
I ate at one of these a few months ago. I liked it so much that I invested some money in it right after. I'm already up 45%. I wish I had more to put in.
Quality is the attraction 😋✌️
I have never heard of Cava. I just looked online and it makes sense since they have no locations located in Michigan. Hope a location opens here soon!
After trying one chip. I was sold. 🥇
CAVA is amazing
Valuation is insane
Love Cava for 6yrs
My daughter loves Cava and I tried and it is good. I prefer it over chipotle.
Haven't tried this place yet because there's none around me but The Kebab Shop is pretty bomb so if this something similar, I'm on board!
I tried it and was not really impressed. Not to the extent this video is glazing. They are okay. Didn't like the quantity for I paid.
As an Uber driver I picked up an order from here, the manager asked if I was hungry, and made me a chicken & rice bowl to go for free. I would never had stopped to eat here, but it was so good now I'm an avid customer. More restaurants should do this.
I feel dumb sometimes. Hell, I’m nearly 60 in a few years. I never heard of CAVA and I’ve been in Los Angeles 3 years. I could be because I’m homeless living in my car, but I work in Beverly Hills and travel DTLA and still haven’t seen or heard of store until this video. I also lived in Mississippi, Texas and Atlanta nearly 20 years and haven’t heard of CAVA. That may be to its operating history 👀💰👍🏿.
*It could be; instead of I📚.
I'm still partial to the classic casino games. Poker night feels real with live dealers and players
Corporate greed always wins out in the end. Watered down ingredients, crappy service cost cutting where it's important
Yep, once the place has a proven record of turning a profit Wall Street will want more and more of it...the restaurant has to start raising prices and nickel and diming the customer.
I love it ❤🎉
CAVA’s secret is the bowls have really good flavor profiles.
got a cava bowl midway thru this video and its great
Whenever I found some video like this, I knew the company/resturant will be going down after that
Mexican food on top 🔥🔥
$43 million per store when each store brings in 100K in profits is insane valuation...
Im excited. There is one opening near my home!
Love cava I get it twice a week ❤
so this is what i don't understand, why do people/business advisors/mentors, etc, always tell you when you have an entrepreneurial endeavor, to open a business that is new/unique, and fills a void that no other business is filling--when all this video told me was to replicate what is already out there and make that your business?
I had it for the first time and loved it. Delicious food.
So what sets them apart from Chipotle other than the Mediterranean theme?
I loved CAVA. Every time i got to Woodland Hills CA I ate there 😊
I love Cava
Look at PE ratio of CAVA 😂
Never heard of cava till now . Is it good?
I ate there once and had a bunch of steak and red spicy stuff mixed with healthy looking green stuff and it tasted good to me. I had to continuously ask for more steak though. So something tells me that people are generally going to settle for smaller portions. I wanted my money's worth though 😅
No. It's nasty soggy flavorless mush. And everything is served cold. It's the worst
This is amazing and another level. Imagine a restaurant performing like this. Surely i need to share with some people in my country Uganda. We have alot to learn from US. Kudos CAVA
