Caulifloodles is now a permanent offering on the menu at Noodles & Company. Guests may substitute them into any dish on the menu at no additional cost but may also try them in two limited-time-only seasonal dishes, the Cauliflower Rigatoni in Light Onion Cream Sauce and the Cauliflower Rigatoni Fresca with Shrimp.

"A regular serving of our new Caulifloodles boasts a full serving of vegetables and, the best part is they taste just like classic pasta, so guests don't have to compromise flavor or texture," Nick Graff, executive chef at Noodles & Company, said in a company press release. "By expanding our Zoodles and Other Noodles platform with dishes that include the light and nutrient-rich cauliflower-infused noodles, we're able to offer choices for everyone in the family, no matter their dietary needs."

The chain made two other announcements this week. The first was about its loyalty platform, NoodlesREWARDS, which is switching to a points-based system to allow customers to earn special deals and freebies.

"We listened to guest feedback and made changes to our app and website to ensure an experience that you can't beat," Jonathan Tress, vice president of marketing, said in the release "The updates allow us to better reward returning customers with the food they love and provide first-time guests at Noodles with an easy way to access and understand not only our simple ordering process, but the variety on our menu."

Lastly, Noodles & Company is removing fountain drinks as an option from the kid's menu panel and replacing them with organic juices and milk to make healthy options easier to access. 

"I can't think of a better place for the entire family to enjoy a meal than at Noodles & Company where everyone can find a dish they love on our menu," CEO Dave Boennighausen, said in the release. "We encourage parents and kids alike to enjoy a balanced diet and make healthy choices, which is why we've updated our kid's beverage options to make the decision as easy as possible."
