It helps show whether transparent, local procurement supports Sweetgreen’s premium urban pricing and protects restaurant-level margins, which topped $303.7 million in 2024 revenue growth momentum.

The U.S. restaurant industry still has one of the highest turnover rates, often above 70% a year, so giving workers modern skills can help keep people longer.
