About the Role
We’re looking for a Chief Industry Officer to bring deep, real-world restaurant expertise into the founding team. You’ll be the industry voice at the table, while shaping business strategy alongside the rest of the founding team.

What You’ll Do
Bring your network and firsthand experience in restaurants/hospitality to inform product and go-to-market decisions
Act as a bridge between the industry and the tech product, ensuring what we build actually matches real-world demand
Sit at the table for business decisions and strategic direction, not just industry input
Help identify early customers, partners, and design partners from your network
Take on genuine leadership responsibility as the company grows
Who We’re Looking For
Hands-on experience in the restaurant/hospitality industry
Exposure to or interest in tech is a plus, not a requirement
Real interest in startups and the ambiguity that comes with early-stage building
Leadership instincts, with the appetite to grow into (and act like) a C-suite leader
Someone who sees the vision, believes in it, and wants to work hard to bring it to life

What We Offer
10% equity
A C-suite position in an early but promising startup
Autonomy to shape the product and business in tandem with market demand
A genuine seat in business strategy and decision-making
On-site work preferred; open to remote for candidates who are a strong fit, with possible relocation funding post-funding
