NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Oct. 01, 2023
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Stock Split	Stock Split—On June 2, 2023, the Company effectuated a 3-to-1 forward stock split of its common stock and preferred stock. The forward stock split did not result in an adjustment to the par value. All references in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes to the number of shares of common stock, preferred stock, options to purchase common stock, restricted stock units, and per share data have been restated on a retroactive basis for all periods presented to reflect the effect of this action.
Interim Financial Statements	Interim Financial Statements—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices of the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements presented in accordance with US GAAP have been omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Due to the seasonality of our business, results for any interim financial period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year. In addition, quarterly results of operations may be impacted by the timing and amount of sales and costs associated with opening new restaurants. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not represent complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 25, 2022 included in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on June 16, 2023 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CAVA Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year—The Company operates on a 52-week or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Sunday of the calendar year. The fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 (“fiscal 2023”) and the fiscal year ended December 25, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”) have 53 weeks and 52 weeks, respectively. In a 52-week fiscal year, the first fiscal quarter contains sixteen weeks and the second, third, and fourth fiscal quarters each contain twelve weeks. In a 53-week fiscal year, the first fiscal quarter contains sixteen weeks, the second and third fiscal quarters each contain twelve weeks, and the fourth fiscal quarter contains thirteen weeks.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates made by the Company include valuation of long-lived, definite and indefinite-lived assets, impairment of long-lived, definite and indefinite-lived assets, estimated useful lives of assets, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, allowance for doubtful accounts, the fair value of equity-based compensation and common stock, and deferred tax valuation allowances. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements; therefore actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards—On December 26, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses on financial instruments. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 replace the incurred loss model in existing GAAP with a forward-looking expected credit loss model that requires consideration of a broad range of information to estimate credit losses. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position or results from operations.Recently Issued Accounting Standards— The Company reviewed all other recently issued accounting standards and determined they were either not applicable or not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results from operations.
JOBS Act Election	JOBS Act Election—In April 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards and to adopt certain of the reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies. As a result of the accounting standards election, the Company will not be subject to the same implementation timing for new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies and, as a result, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis/Non-recurring Basis	Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis—The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis—Assets recognized or disclosed at fair value in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis include items such as property and equipment, net, operating lease assets, goodwill, and intangible assets, net. These assets are measured at fair value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
