Posted 3 weeks ago

Summary

Founding Account Executive - SaaS for Restaurants (Warm Leads Provided) The product: 20+ corporate catering leads a month for restaurant operators. We run the LinkedIn and cold email outreach, the operator takes the calls and books the orders. $747/month, $997 activation. Backed by a guarantee: we run the campaign until the client has earned back at least what they paid. It works. Bain Barbecue closed a $5,550 corporate order from one LinkedIn message. Fob Grill booked a $22,000 holiday party for 600 people, direct, and now runs three subscriptions with us across their operation. The role You work responders, not cold lists. Our cold email and LinkedIn campaigns run at scale, and everyone who replies with interest goes to you. Roughly 500 operators in the backlog who have already expressed interest, plus 25 to 40 new responders a month. Our SEO is starting to convert too, currently booking a handful of calls a month directly onto the calendar, and that channel is growing. You call, you close. One product, one price, no custom scoping. Multi-location operators buy multiple seats, and you are paid on everything the account spends. We are looking for someone who starts by selling and grows into leading the sales team as we scale. Sales is founder-led today. This hire changes that. Comp $500 per activation collected. 10% of the account's total monthly recurring, ongoing while you sell with us. Commission-based with a monthly draw during ramp. At three closes a month this models to roughly $2,400/month by month four and about $4,200/month by month twelve as residuals stack. Modeled, not guaranteed. Fit You have sold software or SaaS at a listed price and closed deals on the phone. A big plus if you have sold restaurant or catering tech (Toast, ezCater, ChowNow, SpotOn, or similar), since you already know this buyer: a busy operator who is skeptical of vendors and protective of his time. To apply, tell me about a deal you closed from first call to signed, and what you sold.
