Once we nail the solution for restaurants – we’ll scale it into every other local business type.

In the future we envision, tens of millions of local business owners will use our technology to succeed in the digital age.

🚀 Our traction

In just over 3 years we've generated tens of millions in revenue, served millions of guests, and processed hundreds of millions of online orders.

More importantly, we’ve helped thousands of restaurant owners save their businesses - and not  only survive, but thrive.

⭐ Our team

Our team grew from under 100 to nearly 200 talented people in 2024. We’ve got top talent from the most successful companies in SMB software, including: Shopify, HubSpot, DoorDash, ServiceTitan, Rappi, Faire and Stripe.

We’ll be scaling even faster in 2025 to keep pace with our customer growth.

🔍 Why we’re looking for you

Owner is on a mission to arm restaurants to fight their goliaths.

We are their CMO in a box.

We are seeking a visionary, data-driven, and customer-obsessed Guest Lifecycle Marketing Manager. This person will help thousands of restaurants drive customer engagement, loyalty, and lifetime value through our marketing channels. This role will lead the development, testing and deployment of all guest-facing lifecycle marketing campaigns.

Success is driving millions and eventually billions in revenue to our restaurants.

We are looking for a veteran of restaurant marketing to work inside the product org along side the team building our self-driving CRM engine. We want to give thousands of local restaurants the expertise on lifecycle marketing only big national brands have access to.

For this particular role we are focused on candidates located in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are a remote-first company with a home base in SF, where our team comes together for periodic in-person collaboration (most local teammates opt to come in on Tuesdays/Thursdays).
