On Monday, November 1, CAVA officially launched its newest offering—catering—bringing customers a new way to enjoy the Mediterranean cuisine they love. The new offering will include signature and new dishes and will debut in New York City (at the CAVA on 40th and Madison) ahead of rolling out nationally through 2023.
To efficiently serve the diverse catering needs of guests everywhere, CAVA will be rolling out this new offering through multiple formats including a strategic mix of both off-and on-premises ghost kitchens and in-restaurant catering operations.
As part of the launch, CAVA will also be testing new culinary formats and ingredients with guests, including Steak and Roasted Salmon Kabobs as well as Handheld Pitas. The menu will offer three ways to satisfy any kind of get-together: Family-Style, Individual Box Lunches, and À La Carte.
