Job description

👋 About Owner.com

Owner is the AI growth system for local restaurants.

Our AI continuously improves SEO, marketing, and online ordering to grow first‑party orders. Unlike other companies that force small business owners to master their software to drive sales, Owner gives them a proven system run by experts.

Owner is like having an army of engineers and marketers on your side, just like the big chains.

🌎 Our vision

We’re starting by helping independent restaurants succeed online.

But it’s not just restaurants that need our help. Most local businesses are struggling with these same problems. Huge technology corporations are taking their customers, bleeding their profits, and making it hard for them to survive.

Once we nail the solution for restaurants – we’ll scale it into every other local business type.

In the future we envision tens of millions of local business owners will use our technology to succeed in the digital age.
