Role 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.
This part of Otter 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
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.
