Fast-dining company Sweetgreen is betting on a digital strategy to get closer to consumers.
“We want to meet [customers] in every different use case,” CEO Jonathan Neman told Cheddar. “So we think on demand and delivery is going to be a huge opportunity.”
Neman said Tuesday that 40 percent of Sweetgreen’s orders come through mobile devices. The restaurant, which went cashless in 2016, is opening its latest chain in Los Angeles on Wednesday. There are currently 87 locations throughout the United States.
To expand further, Neman said that the company is doubling down on creating experiences.
“We’re continuing to invest in both our in-store experience, our food, improving our product, and lastly our mobile experience,” he said. “We’re really creating an incredible digital experience and meeting customers where they are.”

American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. Many companies delayed or canceled orders after President Donald Trump last month put a 145% tariff on items made in China. Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season. They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
