Originally scheduled to roll out next year, the launch of Plates was accelerated to support its business amid the Covid-19 crisis. It is the first food category to be launched by Sweetgreen since the introduction of warm bowls in 2016.

Plates will be served in square plating PFAS-free packaging where each of the items will be placed next to one another, unlike bowls where the components are mixed together.

Sweetgreen co-founder and chief concept officer Nicolas Jammet said: “We are continuing to look for ways to evolve our offerings as the needs of our guests change due to the impact of Covid-19.

“With Plates, our goal is to help create meaningful connections and good-for-you dining experiences during times where it may seem hard to do so.
