Blending Art + Science is a core leadership principle at sweetgreen
For years we've invested heavily in the science of running great restaurants. We've built world-class technology, systems and tools: automation in our kitchens, data that tells us what's working, and digital platforms that serve millions of customers. We're proud of that work, and we'll keep pushing it forward.
But science raises the floor, not the ceiling.
The ceiling is set by the art: leadership and culture. It’s the combination of countless tiny moments of humanity that turn a transaction into hospitality.
Two restaurants can have identical equipment, menus and software yet deliver completely different experiences. The difference is always the leader.
Our new Head Coach incentive program giving leaders the opportunity to earn $200k + is a bet on the power of the human spirit

We’re hiring a Sr. Director of Communications at sweetgreen (in person in LA). You can probably imagine the list of experience we expect, but it boils down to this:
•Narrative instincts must be in your blood
•You must write like a human and be fully allergic to corporate speak
•Your sense of agency must be about 30x higher than your ego
•You must have great taste (inherent, not outsourced)
•You must demonstrate calm under fire
•You must know when to be discrete and when to be a trumpeter
•You must be obsessed with food and culture
If that resonates, we can’t wait to meet you.
You can be part of driving how, where, when we act in our mission to build healthy communities by connecting people to real food. You’ll be fed well, to boot.
Comp Range: $161,000 - $230,000

The tortilla that we custom made for Sweetgreen Wraps has only 4 Ingredients: Flour, Water, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Salt
Mission flour tortillas have 11 ingredients. A tortilla needs 4, flour, water, fat and salt.
The bag lists enriched bleached flour, water, vegetable shortening made from interesterified and hydrogenated soybean oils, then 2% or less of salt, sugar, baking soda, sodium acid pyrophosphate, distilled monoglycerides, fumaric acid, calcium propionate and sorbic acid.
The shortening is soybean oil that was hardened in a reactor so it acts like lard at room temperature. Baking soda and sodium acid pyrophosphate are a baking powder split in two, so the tortilla puffs on the hot plate in the plant. Distilled monoglycerides are an emulsifier. They keep the starch from going stale and hard, which is why a Mission tortilla is still soft weeks after you bought it. Fumaric acid drops the pH, and calcium propionate and sorbic acid stop mold in a bag that isn't refrigerated.

My parents came to America in 1979, after the Islamic Revolution in Iran. They left their business and everything they owned behind and started a new life here from scratch.
My dad always reminded us that America is the land of opportunity. He'd seen what it meant to lose l believed it.
What he meant was simple: here, if you work hard and build something, you get to own it. That idea is what built this country. That's capitalism at its best. The people who create the value get to share in it.
Restaurants have always been one of the great engines of that opportunity. Millions of people get their first job in one. Someone with drive and no connections can build a real career there.
This is what inspired our new Head Coach Incentive Plan, the biggest investment in our people in sweetgreen's history. Top-performing Head Coaches with 3+ years at our highest-volume restaurants can earn over $200K in total comp, including a share of sales above goal and equity in the company. When their restaurant wins, they win.
Someone can start with us as a Team Member and work their way up to running a multimillion-dollar restaurant, with a six-figure income and a stake in the business.
My parents had to leave everything to get their shot. I want our people to find theirs here.

5/ We call them Head Coaches, not managers, because the job is developing people.
Our best Head Coaches, our Restaurateurs, get a $10K bonus for every Team Member they develop into a Head Coach. There's no limit on it.

Capitalism is the greatest system for human progress and @iamjohnmackey is a legend. From pioneering real food to evangelizing conscious capitalism, he has been an inspiration to me since I started Sweetgreen.
"Capitalism created the possibility of the win win win. It used to be a zero sum game where somebody won, somebody else lost.
The biggest mistake people make they still think we're in a zero sum world. They're obsessed with some billionaires because Bernie Sanders thinks that k somehow stole the money from the people.
They don't understand that it's this prosperity machine that's creating more, not just for those billionaires, but for everything that they're touching. They're creating value for their customers, they're creating value for their employees. Their suppliers are flourishing, their investors are seeing their capital go up. It can be reinvested and compound.
All philanthropy ultimately comes from business. That's where the profits are.
Where does all the taxes come from? It ultimately comes from business as well.
This is the engine that's lifting humanity out. The entrepreneurs are the drivers of that engine. Somebody like Elon Musk, he gets a very, very, very tiny sliver of the value that he creates for the whole world."
