Sweetgreen Introduces Digital-Only Pickup Restaurant
Sweetgreen fast-casual salad restaurant is piloting a new digital-only pickup location in Washington, D.C., The Sweetgreen Pickup Kitchen. The new unit will not have an inside dining area or counter line; it will only have a pickup area and seating at an outdoor patio.

The pickup area will only be for digital orders from the Sweetgreen app, third-party delivery apps, or the company website. The digital-only restaurant “allows Sweetgreen to move quickly to fulfill customer demand and reach new guests in areas that would not otherwise support a full-size restaurant,” according to the company.

In addition to the new loyalty program, the Expedia Group is progressively rolling out new products aimed at making planning, booking and taking trips easier. Members will be able to earn and redeem rewards across all types of products, including flights, hotels, vacation rentals, car rentals, cruises and activities.
