Account Executive

Job Overview:

We are helping restaurant owners and operators everywhere to dramatically increase their success with online delivery apps like UberEats, and our product has been massively successful over the past two years in the US.

After having proven that the US model was replicable internationally, the company is rapidly investing more resources in our regional expansion, and we are aiming to build an independent regional organization to better service our customers locally.

You will be joining a team of experienced food-tech professionals and successful tech entrepreneurs, and you will be tapping into the huge food-tech market. We are looking for ambitious talent and driven individuals who are eager to scale a high-potential venture at hyper-growth speed.

The Future Foods Team’s goal is to increase revenues for restaurants. Our team is obsessing about everything from food trends to consumer habits & tastes to better understand what people love to eat and what they’re willing to spend on that food. When we look at all of that data, the different levers we can explore are endless -- from pricing, branding, and packaging to marketing, menu development, and expansion. So we’re taking in all of that data and information, and spinning up our own, original virtual restaurant brands, and then partnering with restaurateurs and food-service providers to have them fulfill orders for those brands out of their existing brick-and-mortar or ghost kitchen facilities. We handle all of the branding, marketing, digital presence, competitive pricing and menu generation for these original brands, and all these restaurateurs need to do is cook the food: then we split the revenues from each order that comes in with the restaurateur.
