Sweetgreen, the fast-growing salad chain that just raised another $150 million at a $1.6 billion valuation, has quietly been delivering its salads and grain bowls via Uber Eats, Grubhub, and Postmates this summer.

But if you search the Uber Eats, Seamless/Grubhub, and Postmates apps for Sweetgreen in cities where it has restaurants — I just tested New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, and Chicago — you should be able to place a delivery order. Some stores already have hundreds of ratings in the Uber Eats app.
