Saladworks, the fast-casual create-your-own salad franchise, introduced a special gift card purchase program today amid the coronavirus outbreak. The move comes as an effort to encourage online ordering, takeout, and delivery during social distancing restrictions.
Through Sunday, Saladwroks franchises are offering customers a $5 gift card with a purchase of $20 or more. The order must be made directly with Saladworks for take-out or delivery via online ordering, telephone or, in restaurant. The gift card is redeemable by anyone for any future purchase. The fast-casual franchise is encouraging customers to “give [the gift card] to someone in need,” as a result of the recent COVID-19 public health outbreak.
”The heart of the Saladworks brand is quite simply our people — including our franchisees and team members as well as our valued guests and the communities we serve,” said Kelly Roddy, CEO of Saladworks.
“During this unprecedented time of change and uncertainty, we know there are many people who need help securing fresh, flavorful and healthy food to nourish their bodies, minds and spirits. So, we’re encouraging all those who are able to enjoy a Saladworks meal with their family or friends to ‘pay it forward’ by giving the $5 Gift Card reward to someone in need. We are all in this fight together and we will all get through it together if we allow the very best in all of us to shine through.”

The brand is offering two other promotions to drive delivery and takeout traffic. Saladworks is providing free delivery on orders placed through its website for its restaurants who offer delivery. The company is also offering specific delivery specials via its partners at Door Dash, GrubHub and Uber Eats. In addition, Saladworks Rewards members who purchase four entrée salads in March can receive their fifth entrée salad free.
