👎🏼 Cons

Delivery Fees: Delivery will often include service and partner fees in addition to menu prices, which can raise the total order cost. Fees vary by location and time of day. 💸

Limited Coverage: Restaurant locations are concentrated in select metro areas, so app usefulness drops in regions without nearby stores. Out-of-area users will see limited ordering options. 📍

Occasional Glitches: Some users report intermittent issues with order syncing, promo code redemption, or payment processing during peak times. Updates typically resolve problems but can be inconvenient. 🐞

Data Collection: The app collects location, order history, and payment details for personalized offers and analytics, and shares some data with service partners. Review privacy settings and permissions to control tracking. 🔒

Menu Limitations for Niche Diets: While highly customizable, certain specialty dietary needs may still face limited options or cross-contact risks at shared prep stations. Advanced dietary requirements might require calling ahead. 🥴

💰 Prices

The app is free to download and use; menu prices match in-store pricing and vary by location and taxes. Delivery fees, optional service charges, and tips apply on delivery orders, while CAVA Rewards enrollment is free and provides member discounts and exclusive offers.
