Sweetgreen's now offering customers a cashless option

August 1, 2016

Given a sharp decline in cash purchases, dropping from 40 to 10 percent since opening, Sweetgreen restaurants is now offering cashless payments.

“One of the biggest complaints at Sweetgreen is the line, so by reducing cash we’re able to serve customers a lot faster,” said Jonathan Neman, co-founder and co-chief executive of Sweetgreen, in a release.

Forrester Research predicts in-store mobile payments to increase from $4 billion in 2014 to $34 billion by 2019, according to the release.

Additional cashless restaurant groups include Split Bread, Chi’lantro and Major Food Group.
