Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
SEGMENT REPORTING | SEGMENT REPORTING The Company’s operations are conducted as two operating segments: CAVA and CAVA Foods. CAVA includes the operations of all company-owned CAVA restaurants. CAVA Foods includes the production of dips, spreads, and certain dressing bases used in CAVA restaurants as well as sales from the Company’s consumer-packaged goods (“CPG”) business. These segments were determined on the same basis that the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), manages, evaluates, and makes key decisions regarding the business. CAVA is the Company’s only reportable segment, as CAVA Foods is below the quantitative thresholds for segment reporting purposes. The CODM reviews segment performance and allocates resources based upon restaurant-level profit, which is defined as segment revenues less food, beverage, and packaging, labor, occupancy, and other operating expenses. Restaurant-level profit is used to measure the segment’s profitability as corporate-level expenses are excluded from such measure. The CODM uses restaurant-level profit for each segment in the annual budget to make decisions about the allocation of resources, with the monitoring of actual results to determine appropriate changes to such allocation. All segment revenue is earned in the United States, and all intersegment revenues have been eliminated. Intersegment revenues represent the sale, from CAVA Foods to CAVA, of dips, spreads, and certain dressing bases used in CAVA restaurants. Sales from external customers are derived principally from sales of food, beverage, and CPG. The Company does not rely on any major customers as sources of sales. As the CODM does not review asset information by segment, assets are reported only on a consolidated basis. Other includes the CAVA Foods CPG business. The following table presents financial information about the Company’s reportable segment and includes reconciliations of CAVA segment revenue and restaurant-level profit to the Company’s consolidated revenue and income before taxes:
