Sweetgreen managers could earn more than $200,000 under new pay plan
The salad chain is tying up to 45% base pay increases and a share of sales upside to restaurant performance, a bet its CEO says the data supports
Sweetgreen restaurant managers will be eligible to earn more than $200,000 a year from next year under a new pay plan that combines base salary, equity and a revenue-share bonus when stores outperform sales goals. The fast-casual salad chain says managers, known internally as head coaches, could see base pay rise by up to 45% at restaurants with higher sales volume, though it declined to specify how high those sales must be to qualify.
