OUR STORY
CHOPT IS A
CREATIVE SALAD COMPANY
Our mission? To make healthy eating exciting for all people.
From classic cravings to seasonal collaborations, we challenge ourselves to create a menu that celebrates flavors from around the world and opens up a seat at the table for anyone who wants to join.

OUR VALUES
We commit ourselves to a better process, start to finish. That means buying local produce and developing relationships with farmers along the way. It means seeking out unique artisans from around the world. And it means giving you a better tasting, better quality experience.

INNOVATE
We constantly innovate our menu and technologies to give you better access to nutritious food and a better (more convenient) way to enjoy it.

SERVE WITH URGENCY
We value giving you a seamless experience rooted in hospitality, with respect for your time and accuracy with each order.

BE GENEROUS
Chopt Gives allows us to give year round, and support our Chopt communities, team members and the charitable partners we believe in.
OUR STORY
