In tandem, the company is rebuilding training, accelerating leadership development, creating paths from restaurants into Support Center roles, and introducing annual merit increases for eligible Team Members. These updates all reflect a simple idea: the longer someone grows with sweetgreen and the stronger their restaurant performs, the more they should earn. The Head Coach Incentive Plan takes effect in the first quarter of fiscal 2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe restaurant industry has always been one of the great engines of opportunity, and we want to make that real for thousands of people,” said Jonathan Neman, Co-Founder and CEO of sweetgreen. “At sweetgreen, a Team Member can grow into a Head Coach running a multimillion-dollar business, earning a six-figure income and owning equity in a public company. Great leaders build great teams, and great teams build a great business. As we approach 300 restaurants, we\u2019re betting big on our Head Coaches.\u201d<\/p>\n
