CAVA is experiencing margin pressure from increased labor costs, driven by a ~3% rise in average hourly wages and investments in expanding the Assistant General Manager role. This creates a business need for labor optimization, automation, and workforce management technologies to improve efficiency.
Filing excerpt
The remainder of the increase was primarily due to the impact of higher average hourly wages of approximately 3%, which includes the expansion of our Assistant General Manager role.
