I have no idea how Sweetgreen makes money, and looking online the answer is "they don't." Still, I have the app and they keep shoving deals at me offering like 33% off the price of a salad. People complain that the salads are smaller and overpriced, but at $10 it's the same price as going to the work cafeteria here for food that's comparable, so why not? I can set the app to display dairy and meat separately so I know that I'm getting one or the other, and the Power Greens Bowl had only meat, so I got one. I've seen people complaining about salads getting smaller but the whole bowl was full for me.
Maybe that's because of the location, though. I went to the one on State and there were two production lines, one for the people coming to the counter and one for all the DoorDash and take-out orders, so I went up to the latter one just as my salad was finished and walked it back to the office. I had passed a dozen people coming the other way with salads in their hands on my five-minute walk.
It was pretty good for a $10 salad from a slop bowl chain.
