Challenges in Achieving Profitability

Sweetgreen encountered a significant setback as sales and traffic declined during the first half of the year, leading to operational losses of $26.4 million in Q2. This decline marks a substantial increase from the $16.2 million in losses reported in the previous year's quarter. The company's decision to reduce 10% of roles in its support center further underscores the challenges it faces in achieving profitability.
