Fast-casual chains Just Salad and Sweetgreen have both recently talked about their loyalty programs. Just Salad launched a whole new system, “Race to Rewards,” a gamified program to create new perks for customers like freebies or order discounts in the form of “Salad Bucks.” Sweetgreen, meanwhile, mentioned its loyalty tests on its third-quarter earnings call. It tested several programs in 2022, including Sweetpass. Why are chains suddenly so enthusiastic about this marketing tactic? The editors also talked about new prototypes across the industry, from Subway vending machines to To-Go Panera stores to pick-up windows at Chili’s. The team agrees that the off-premises trend is here to stay as chains figure out how to meet consumers where they are.

New York City-based Just Salad was in a peculiar spot when the pandemic started. A small restaurant company — only 50 units — the fast-casual salad chain decided in March 2020 to donate meals to hospital workers while its own stores were temporarily shut down due to COVID restrictions. But, as CEO Nick Kenner explains, it’s in the brand’s DNA, caring for fellow New Yorkers and leaving the world better than when the company began. Another important element of that is sustainability, something that became trickier to uphold during COVID, when regulations took away the ease of reusables. That, however, did not stop Just Salad and the team’s chief sustainability officer Sandra Noonan from continuing to innovate. “We’re always going to focus on sustainability; it’s our north star,” said Kenner. And Kenner points out that sustainability is not a financial hole as some companies think it is. In fact, Just Salad grew units and left 2020 in the black while remaining green at its core. “[Sustainability] does not run counter to business…consumers demand it and consumers know which brands are doing it to do it and which are doing it to lead,” he said.

每日英語跟讀 Ep.K152: The Rise of the Climatarian   Torben Lonne, a 34-year-old scuba diver in Copenhagen, never eats without considering the carbon footprint and the emission level of the food he's about to consume. For that reason, his diet revolves around locally sourced fruits and vegetables, and pizza. He avoids avocados, however. 34歲的朗恩是丹麥首都哥本哈根的水肺潛水員,他在吃下任何食物之前,一定會先考量這食物的碳足跡和碳排放量問題。因此,他的飲食不脫在地蔬果和披薩。不過,他不吃酪梨。 “Avocados that are made for export are incredibly carbon-intensive, especially when you consider farm to plate is actually several thousand kilometers away,” Lonne said. “Aside from the logistics, avocado farms have depleted many rivers and lakes, particularly in South America, in order to sustain our voracious appetite for guacamole.” 朗恩說:「供外銷的酪梨碳密集度極高,尤其是考慮到從農場到餐桌實際上有數千公里遠。種酪梨除了運輸路途遙遠之外,還耗掉許多河川湖泊的水,特別在南美洲,為的是滿足我們對酪梨醬的貪欲。」 Lonne calls himself a climatarian, a term that first appeared in The New York Times in 2015, entered the Cambridge Dictionary the following year and is now becoming more common. Apps such as Kuri, introduced last year, offer climatarian recipes. Fast-casual restaurants including Just Salad and Chipotle are marking items that fit in the diet, like paleo before it, on their menus. 朗恩自稱氣候素食者,這個詞2015年首先出現在紐約時報上,隔年收入劍橋字典,如今變得更常見。一些應用程式提供氣候素食食譜,去年上架的Kuri就是一例。Just Salad、奇波雷等快速慢食餐廳一如先前推出「原始人飲食」般,現在也在菜單上把合乎氣候素食要求的菜式加以標註。 There are also climatarian-friendly brands, including Moonshot, a carbon-neutral company in San Francisco that makes a line of crackers from regeneratively grown ingredients with stone-milled, heirloom wheat and 100% recycled packaging. 有些品牌標榜對氣候素食者友善,包括美國加州舊金山碳中和公司Moonshot,製造一系列薄脆餅乾,採用再生農業生產的原料、石磨祖傳種小麥和百分之百再生包裝。 When Just Salad added a climatarian menu option in September, more than 10% of their salad sales came from that menu, said Sandra Noonan, the chain's chief sustainability officer, a position created in 2019. Just Salad永續長珊卓.努南說,去年9月推出氣候素食菜單後,超過10%的沙拉營業額來自這種飲食。永續長是2019年新設的職位。 Those who follow the diet stick with fruits and vegetables that are in season relative to their region; they avoid meat that comes from factory farms; and they seek local ingredients because those have lower carbon footprints, said Brian Kateman, the president and co-founder of Reducetarian Foundation, a nonprofit organization in Providence, Rhode Island, that encourages eating fewer animal products. Many reducetarians are also climatarians: cutting back because they're concerned about the climate crisis. 美國羅德島州首府普羅維登斯的「減少肉食基金會」是提倡少吃畜產品的非營利組織,共同創辦人兼會長凱特曼說,氣候素食者堅持食用當地當季的蔬果,不吃工廠化農場生產的肉類,注重在地食材,因為碳足跡較少。許多少肉主義者也是氣候素食者,因為他們也擔心氣候危機。 Kateman, 31, became one after reading a 2007 book, “The Ethics of What We Eat,” by Peter Singer and Jim Mason. He was horrified to learn that greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture increased by 12% from 1990 to 2019, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. 31歲的凱特曼讀了2007年出版、辛格和梅森合著的「飲食倫理」一書後,成了氣候素食者。他很震驚地從美國國家環境保護署的資料得知,從1990年到2019年,農業的溫室氣體排放量增加了12%。 While many climatarians aren't vegetarians, since they believe that chicken or lamb are much better choices than beef, some eschew meat altogether since vegetables overall have a lower carbon footprint. 許多氣候素食者並不吃素,他們認為吃雞肉和羊肉已經遠比吃牛肉好了,不過也有一些氣候素食者完全棄絕肉類,因為蔬菜類整體而言碳足跡較少。Source article: https://udn.com/news/story/6904/5512200   更多Podcast單元: 每日英語跟讀Podcast,就在http://www.15mins.today/daily-shadowing 精選詞彙 VOCAB Podcast,就在https://www.15mins.today/vocab 語音直播 15mins Live Podcast, 就在https://www.15mins.today/15mins-live-podcast 文法練習 In-TENSE Podcast,就在https://www.15mins.today/in-tense 用email訂閱就可以收到通勤學英語節目更新通知。

When it comes to leading the brand, prioritizing sustainability is at the top of Noonan's list. Just Salad is the first United States restaurant chain to carbon label its menu and has partnered with research scientists at the University of Pennsylvania, Tulane University, and Harvard University to study the effects of its carbon labels on consumer behavior. Noonan shares how she reached out prior to her joining the team, to the Chief Executive Officer and founder of Just Salad, Nick Kenner. Kenner was tired of plastic salad bowls piling up in trash bins and thought there had to be a better way. The philosophy behind there must be a better way has really persisted throughout the company's growth. Noonan talks about the Reusable Bowl Program and how it works in two ways:-Purchase a bowl for a dollar and every time you bring back your reusable bowl you get a free topping.-Delivery or pickup you can opt in to the bring back bowl program, it will be professionally cleaned when you bring it back. The carbon labeling program at Just Salad, will help consumers to understand the carbon footprint of what they eat. Noonan discusses the partnership with three universities designed to study the impact of carbon labels and how consumers would make choices to purchase one salad over another. Noonan explains Just Salad's partnership with Arcadia on an offer that would enable their customers to choose clean energy for their homes. Arcadia is a company that empowers homeowners or renters to support clean energy through their utility bill. This partnership fits perfectly with the Just Salad mission to make everyday health and everyday sustainability possible.

In the early days of the COVID lockdowns some restaurants and QSRs became makeshift grocery stores. They filled a gap for their customers when standard groceries ran low or just felt too dangerous to shoppers. But the self-descriptive brand Just Salad turned the idea into a new business to go alongside its 30+ store footprint in cities worldwide. This is but the first in a line of new business ideas CMO Andy Rooks and the management will be exploring in the next year. The impetus for all such innovation, Rooks says, is having genuine conversations with customers, not just harvesting data points.

Fast-casual chain Just Salad started with a reusable bowl program when it opened in 2006. It's now expanded to a host of sustainability initiatives, and this year the company released a sustainability report resembling those produced by national brands. New York-based Just Salad only has about 40 units. But the growing chain has an outsized positive impact—about a quarter of Just Salad customers use the company's reusable bowls. Sandra Noonan, chief sustainability officer at Just Salad, is realistic about the motivation for consumers. It's good for the environment, and it's a good deal for customers. A key part of the program is the incentive—"you get a free topping with every use," Noonan said on NRN's Extra Serving Podcast. "I think that the critical piece to this program is combining loyalty with waste reduction." Beyond an extra topping, there's also the "emotional boost" one gets from using reusables, said Noonan. It's the opposite of the feeling one gets when discarding single-use products. "There's a negative emotional tax associated with eating and then throwing away. The joy of eating is undermined by the bad feeling you get from throwing away a piece of plastic," said Noonan. "Eating and then throwing away should be decoupled, in my opinion," she said. Hear more from Noonan on why Just Salad goes beyond recycling and composting and how the brand gets employees and customers excited about sustainability.
