Who this role is best for

Restaurant industry professionals with Thai-English bilingualism and quota-carrying sales experience will find this territory-driven role in California, emphasizing competitive selling and post-sale account ownership, rewarding with uncapped commission.

Best fit for

  • Restaurant POS or payments sales reps with bilingual Thai-English skills and a track record of exceeding quota
    — “1+ years of quota-carrying, full-cycle B2B or outside sales; restaurant POS or payments experience (Toast, Square, Clover, SpotOn, Lightspeed, ISO/merchant services) strongly preferred”
  • Self-directed individuals who can manage their own territory and prioritize CRM updates
    — “Self-directed and organized enough to run your own territory”
  • Candidates who can effectively sell against established competitors like Toast and Square
    — “Run demos with restaurant owners and close deals, often against Toast, Square and Clover”

Things to consider

  • Requires physical presence in California and a valid driver’s license for client visits
    — “Lives in or near CA; valid driver's license and reliable transportation”
  • Commission is dependent on results, with no guaranteed base salary above $80,000
    — “Base salary depends on experience; commission depends on results”

How to stand out

  • Quantify past quota achievements and emphasize experience with competing restaurant POS systems
    — “A track record of hitting or beating quota, with numbers you can walk us through”
  • Demonstrate fluency in Thai and ability to communicate with Thai-speaking restaurant owners
    — “Strong spoken and written English; fluency in Thai is required, as Thai will be used on the job to communicate with Thai-speaking customers and prospective customers.”
  • Highlight post-sale account management skills and customer service orientation
    — “Patient and service-minded with customers after the sale, not only before it”

Run demos with restaurant owners and close deals, often against Toast, Square and Clover
