What Sweetgreen, Inc. does
In the company’s own words
Sweetgreen, Inc. (NYSE: SG) operates as a mission-driven, next-generation restaurant and lifestyle brand dedicated to serving healthy food at scale. The company's website is www.sweetgreen.com. As of December 28, 2025, Sweetgreen owned and operated 281 restaurants across 24 states and Washington, D.C., with a total workforce of 6,486 employees, including 248 at the corporate support center and 6,238 in restaurants.
The company's core business centers on a customizable menu featuring salads, bowls, and plates made with high-quality, locally sourced ingredients prepared in-house. Sweetgreen's menu strategy combines signature year-round items with seasonal offerings and limited-time innovations, supported by a disciplined supply chain built on direct relationships with domestic farmers, manufacturers, and distributors. The company emphasizes transparency, quality, and scratch cooking as differentiating factors in the fast-casual dining segment.
Sweetgreen operates through multiple revenue channels including in-store dining, digital pickup, native delivery, an outpost and catering channel, and marketplace delivery partnerships. The company has invested significantly in technology infrastructure, including its proprietary Infinite Kitchen automation technology, which was developed through the Spyce Food Co. acquisition but subsequently sold to Wonder Group, Inc. subsidiaries in 2025. The company also operates the SG Rewards loyalty program to drive customer frequency and engagement through personalized digital experiences.
The company's strategic framework, termed the Sweet Growth Transformation Plan, focuses on five priorities: operational excellence, food quality and menu innovation, personalized customer experience, brand relevance, and disciplined profitable investment. Sweetgreen's competitive positioning emphasizes its differentiated supply chain, commitment to food safety standards, and structured career development pathways for employees. The company has received recognition from Forbes and TIME for its employment practices and workplace culture.
Sweetgreen's business model depends on discretionary consumer spending and faces competition from fast-casual chains, traditional quick-service restaurants, delivery aggregators, and grocery retailers offering prepared foods. The company's expansion strategy prioritizes data-driven real estate selection and testing of new restaurant design concepts to serve diverse trade areas and support its multi-channel approach.
