Restaurant Tech Sales Executive - Virtual Dining Concepts

Linked Eats Sales Executive

Linked Eats builds AI-powered software that helps restaurants improve revenue and margins across third-party delivery platforms. Our products support more than 5,000 enterprise restaurant locations and more than 200 owned and operated stores. The platform gives restaurant teams practical tools to find lost revenue, manage digital operations, and make better marketplace decisions.

Linked Eats is hiring a full-cycle sales executive to win new business with independent restaurants, multi-unit operators, and franchisees. You will show restaurant owners how Linked Eats can recover revenue, reduce delivery-platform errors, keep digital storefronts online, and improve marketplace marketing and pricing. The right person is comfortable building a territory from the ground up, walking into a restaurant or calling an operator directly, and turning operating data into a clear financial case.

The Primary Product: Uplift Marketing AI

Your primary focus will be Uplift Marketing AI, which manages restaurant advertising and promotions across the major third-party delivery platforms. Restaurant operators set their budget and goals, and Uplift uses performance data to execute and adjust campaigns across locations.

Supporting Products

As customer needs develop, you will introduce the rest of the Linked Eats platform as supporting solutions:

• Smart Pricing and Pricing Optimizer - uses location- and time-specific pricing strategies and measured markup adjustments to support profitable growth.
• Dispute Recapture - automates the review and dispute of delivery-platform error charges and can recover up to 80 percent of funds lost.
• Financial Reconciliation - brings transaction data and discrepancies across delivery platforms into one dashboard with transaction-level reporting.
• Automated Uptime - monitors unexpected marketplace shutdowns and reactivates eligible stores within minutes based on operator-defined rules.
