$CAVA CAVA over EAT (Brinker) for better price points and better demographics. Cava has faster, lower-cost custom bowls and wraps, but Chilis has higher average tickets of
$25 and Maggianos costs
$25-
$45 per person and family-style meals
$42-
$45 per person. Wall Street views both Cava and Brinker favorably. Current conditions amplify the gap between them as strongest performers vs. many struggling chains. Baird just named CAVA and
$EAT as highest conviction restaurant stocks to BUY.
