About the Opportunity

Zuppler is looking for experienced, U.S.-based independent sales professionals who have an established background selling products or services to restaurants.

This opportunity is designed for entrepreneurial sales professionals who want to build a recurring book of business while representing a comprehensive restaurant technology platform.

You’ll focus on developing relationships with restaurant owners and generating qualified opportunities. Zuppler handles the product demonstrations, proposals, technology configuration, onboarding, training, 24/7 support, and ongoing account management.

We’re particularly interested in professionals with experience in restaurant technology, POS systems, payment processing, merchant services, foodservice, restaurant marketing, hospitality technology, or other B2B services sold directly to restaurant operators.

Zuppler provides restaurants with an integrated technology platform that includes:

• Point of Sale (POS) and in-store technology
• Online Ordering
• Loyalty & Marketing Automation
• Branded Restaurant Websites
• Branded iOS & Android Mobile Apps
• Self-Service Kiosks

This gives you multiple ways to start a conversation with a restaurant and build a long-term technology relationship.

That’s from one merchant. Build a portfolio of restaurant clients and your recurring revenue opportunity grows with it.

Key Responsibilities

Prospecting & Relationship Building: Identify, prospect, and develop relationships with restaurant owners and operators within your market.

Generate Qualified Opportunities: Introduce restaurant operators to Zuppler’s technology solutions, identify their business needs, and schedule qualified product demonstrations with the Zuppler team.

Local Sales Relationship: Remain the merchant's local relationship and sales contact, helping maintain the relationship while Zuppler’s Account Management and Support teams handle ongoing operational and technical needs.

Onsite Installation Support: Participate in onsite technology installations when appropriate to help provide a strong merchant experience and continue developing the relationship.

Build Your Portfolio: Continue developing new restaurant relationships within your territory while earning recurring revenue from qualifying merchants you’ve brought to Zuppler.

Zuppler Handles the Heavy Lifting

Once you’ve developed the opportunity, you’re not on your own.

Sales Enablement: Zuppler conducts product demonstrations and prepares merchant proposals.

Merchant Onboarding: Our team manages technology configuration, menu builds, onboarding, installation coordination, and staff training.

24/7 Technical Support: Restaurants have access to Zuppler’s technical support team around the clock.

Ongoing Account Management: Zuppler assigns Account Management resources to support merchant retention, adoption, and growth.

You focus on building relationships and growing your portfolio. We help you close, install, and support the business.

Who We’re Looking For

This opportunity is best suited for an established independent sales professional who is based in the United States and has demonstrated experience selling directly to U.S.-based restaurant owners and operators.

Existing relationships within the restaurant industry are highly desirable. Experience selling POS systems, payment processing/merchant services, restaurant technology, foodservice products, restaurant marketing, payroll/workforce solutions, or other restaurant-focused B2B services is particularly relevant.

Because this is an independent contractor opportunity, candidates should be comfortable prospecting independently, developing their own territory, and managing their own sales activity.
