Sweetgreen opened its new downtown Naperville location with something no other restaurant in the healthy fast-food chain offers: robot salad making.
Customers to sweetgreen at 223 S. Main St. in downtown Naperville can order from the kiosk counter and watch their order being made with the technology behind it that dispenses the right portions of ingredients for the salads and warm bowls. The restaurant is open daily 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
An earth-friendly bowl rests in a basket as it makes it way on a conveyer system at the Sweetgreen restaurant in downtown Naperville, where automated technology is used to make salads and warm bowls.“And we’re super grateful to be part of the community,” he said. The Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce said 25 full-time employees have been hired to staff the Main Street location.
Integration of the Infinite Kitchen into the system means the restaurant can unlock efficiencies that will enable the chain to grow more quickly, he said.In 2021, Nala Robotics opened a robotic kitchen in the food court at the Mall of India on Route 59, which is used by multiple restaurants and ghost kitchens.
Wehrli said it’s hoped Sweetgreen has the “same amazing experience that so many of our restaurants and hospitality professionals have enjoyed for so many years that put Naperville on the map for being one of the greatest places to enjoy a great restaurant experience.”
