I just go to Cava instead these days. Way better

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 months ago

This is the way. I buy a CAVA bowl once a week. The way I have it made will feed me three times. That's three dinners for less than $14.

Lol same. I get a Cava bowl and will pick at it for like two days straight.

I'm just waiting for the time I go in and find out that they've all been told to make the bowls smaller to save money. Only a matter of time.

CAVA is doing the exact same business strategy as Chipotle. They're working on rapid expansion, but once they either reach market saturation, or stall out, they'll reduce quality and increase prices

It's the model for every fast-casual chain. I really wish people would support local restaurants more. You get better food at a cheaper price when you don't have corporate taking a 30% profit margin

No we don't.

I go mostly to local restaurants, but sometimes I'm in the mood for Cava. And yeah I'm waiting for them to drop in quality and/or portion size

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Cava is so expensive though, I think it's like $4-5 more than a burrito bowl by me.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah but I get like 3 meals out of it so it's worth it to me

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I could get two out of cava, but I can also get two meals out of Chipotle so a bit of a wash from my perspective.
