Ilir Sela started Slice with the belief that local pizzerias deserve all of the advantages of major franchises without compromising their independence. Starting with his family’s pizzerias, we now empower over tens of thousands of restaurants with the technology, services, and collective power that owners need to better serve their digitally minded customers and build lasting businesses. We’re growing and adding more talent to help fulfill this valuable mission. That’s where you come in.
The Challenge to Solve
Buying affordable, high quality supplies is one of the biggest challenges facing local independent restaurants today; they pay higher prices than franchises and often must use outdated systems to place & receive their orders. Slice’s "The Goods" seeks to solve this challenge by empowering local pizzeria owners to order high-quality supplies at unmatched prices, on demand, in just a few clicks.
The Role
As a Sales Representative, you will be responsible for establishing & building relationships with restaurant owners in your specific market. Your main goal will be to bring new customers onto the Goods, ideally transitioning them to our Reordering Team as repeat customers. Your primary focus will be traveling around your specific market, meeting with shop owners in-person and following up to earn repeat orders. This is a high-velocity, strategic sales role with lots of daily touchpoints to different shops to achieve targets.
The Team
The Supply Chain team (AKA The Goods) includes our VP, Supply Chain and a collaborative group working in specific territories throughout the East Coast. You will also collaborate with local pizzeria and restaurant owners to understand their needs and demonstrate how Slice can help their business. This role reports to the South Florida Market Operations Lead.
