Since its founding in 2007, Sweetgreen has revolutionized fast food by offering fresh, flavorful meals that emphasize sustainability and strong partnerships with local farmers and communities. The company’s mission is centered on creating spaces where food, people, and purpose come together, fostering a meaningful dining experience focused on health and wellness.

The role of a Team Member at Sweetgreen is far more than a typical restaurant position; it’s a vital part of a movement to reshape how fast food is perceived and delivered. As a Team Member, you will be instrumental in connecting guests to food that is fresh, fast, and thoughtfully prepared. Your responsibilities will include prepping fresh ingredients, building guest orders with precision and care, and fostering a welcoming atmosphere where every guest feels valued and cared for. This opportunity offers hands-on experience in a high-energy setting that emphasizes hospitality and teamwork. It also provides a path for career growth where top performers can advance into leadership roles, including Shift Leader and General Manager positions, typically within three years. Sweetgreen offers its team members competitive wages, tip opportunities (depending on location and role), and a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision coverage options, paid vacation, wellness time, and parental leave. Additionally, team members receive a free meal with every shift and can participate in a merchandise shop offering custom Sweetgreen gear. The role is open to candidates who are at least 18 years old, authorized to work in the United States, and able to commit to a minimum of 12 hours per week. Physical requirements include tasks such as lifting, squatting, reaching, and standing for extended periods—common in fast-paced food service environments. Sweetgreen embraces its role as a leader in the fast-casual dining industry, providing an inclusive and growth-focused environment where employees can thrive while contributing to a healthier future for their communities. This position is ideal for individuals who care deeply about food quality, guest experience, and are looking for a stable job with long-term advancement possibilities.
