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

Hand signed restaurants to our technicians for installation

Own your accounts after launch and grow them with additional Chowbus products

Comfortable cold calling and walking into restaurants to start conversations with owners

Self-directed and organized enough to run your own territory

Lives in or near Chicago; valid driver's license and reliable transportation
