• Set customers up for success: Carry the standardised post-sale transition process by preparing detailed customer summaries and key objective documents for the Customer Success team to ensure seamless customer onboarding.

• A minimum of 1-3 years of experience in Sales, Account Management, or Customer Success, ideally in the SaaS/tech industry.

• Bachelor's degree in business, finance, engineering, or a related field (or equivalent work experience) is a strong plus.

• Willingness to roll up your sleeves and “Leave your ego at the door” mentality

• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced startup environment.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to effectively engage with customers and internal stakeholders.

• Entrepreneurial mindset: you thrive in fast-moving environments, love building from scratch, and bias toward action.

What is Restaurant Software?

Restaurants and other merchants use various software systems such as Point of Sale (POS), Reservations, Kitchen Display Systems (KDS), Payments, Inventory, Staffing, and the list goes on. These systems all need to speak to each other which they frequently don’t. It’s a mess, and we are fixing it.

From buying a croissant at a cafe to having dinner with friends, it’s a €4 Trillion+ global market and a critical part of everyday life in today's economy.From buying a croissant at a cafe to having dinner with friends, it’s a EUR4 Trillion+ global market and a critical part of everyday life in today's economy.
