A forward-thinking take on food service that national restaurant chain Sweetgreen launched in Naperville earlier this year is one of Time magazine’s best inventions of 2023.
Sweetgreen’s “Infinite Kitchen,” a reimagined version of the fast-casual spot where orders are placed through computer kiosks and assembled by robots right in front of customers, is one of 200 inventions included on the annual list, released this week. The concept made its debut in downtown Naperville, at 223 S. Main St., in May.
From the time an order is placed to the point where it’s ready to be picked up, Sweetgreen avows it can churn out menu items in less than five minutes. The process is as futuristic as it sounds. As can be seen with Naperville’s operation — the prototype for the restaurants that have since followed — it starts with an employee-less, kiosk-only ordering system.
