As a Team Member at Sweetgreen, you are more than just a restaurant employee; you become part of a movement focused on transforming how fast food is perceived and experienced. The role involves delivering first-class hospitality and serving food that is fresh, fast, and thoughtfully prepared. Whether you are preparing ingredients, building salads, or welcoming guests, you play a key role in creating meaningful guest experiences within a supportive and high-energy environment. Team Members are encouraged to contribute actively to a culture of care, quality, and teamwork. This position offers flexible part-time opportunities with a minimum commitment of 12 hours per week and includes the chance to earn competitive wages and tips (depending on location). Sweetgreen supports career growth by providing clear pathways for top-performing Team Members to advance into leadership and General Manager roles within three years.

In this role, you will deliver warm, genuine hospitality, ensuring every guest feels welcomed and valued. You will be responsible for prepping and serving fresh food efficiently while maintaining high standards for taste, portion sizes, and presentation. Attention to detail is vital, as you will build accurate orders that align with Sweetgreen’s food and brand standards. Maintaining a clean, stocked, and organized station is also essential to support smooth and effective service. Adhering strictly to food safety, sanitation, and allergen protocols protects guest trust and upholds team standards. Collaboration is key as you work seamlessly with fellow team members to balance prep, service, and restocking tasks, especially during busy periods. Sweetgreen values individuals who take pride in reliability, are detail-oriented and quality-driven, and bring energy and a team-first mindset to every shift. This role is ideal for people who want to grow their skills across multiple stations in a fast-paced, people-centered environment. Sweetgreen also offers extensive benefits to support health and well-being, including medical, dental, and vision insurance options, paid time off, and a 401(k) plan, depending on eligibility.
