Cava says sales held up as some diners avoided lettuce
The fast-casual chain said it saw order changes as diners sought alternatives like grain bowls and pitas during a broader summer of food-safety concerns.
Cava Group said some diners have changed their orders to avoid lettuce amid a wider food-safety scare affecting the restaurant industry, MarketWatch reports.
Even with those swaps, Cava said the fast-casual chain still managed to post sales growth, showing demand shifted rather than disappeared.
MarketWatch notes the restaurant sector saw multiple food-safety concerns during the summer period, creating a backdrop for how customers approach menu items.
