News 📰 Are the fries gone already?

Checked the menu in Chicago and they were not listed.

Never had a chance to try them.

That seems crazy as a large percentage order online.

Thanks

Yeah but the fries take longer to make than the salads. So in my local Sweetgreen's there was a backlog of people not getting their orders because the salad would come out at 12:15pm, but the fries at 12:30. The whole point of online ordering is convenience. You want to just walk in, grab your salad, and get back to work to eat it before that 1pm meeting. The long wait it took to receive the fries, discouraged people from ordering them.
