Sweetgreen offers freebie for app feature action

Sweetgreen is providing rewards members a 'Scan to Earn & Redeem' feature and offering a freebie when members use the feature for the first time.

Customers can get a free bag of chips, beverage or a crispy rice treat with an entrée purchase when they scan the QR code in stores through October 1.

Sweetgreen is also offering a free three-week trial to Sweetpass+, its paid-tier loyalty program that offers exclusive benefits including $3 off daily orders.
