Welcome to the LOF Team! Our mission is to launch catering across all ENT, SMB and long tail merchants while focusing on perfect quality, increasing volume, and building out new products in partnership with the merchant.

• Success: You will be successful in this role if you are a self starter and are quick to find solutions and learnings.

We’re excited about you because…

• You are a self-starter with 2+ years of work experience specially with Data Analytics, Customer facing communication, and testing/piloting experience.
