We’re looking for someone who is passionate about startups/restaurants/problem solving interested in being an independent thinker and contributing time to help us get established in CT both through sales outreach as well as thought leadership. Our company culture is execution based, meaning we will happily pay out $100 for each new account and restaurant groups/corporate partnerships can make that add up pretty quickly. Even more valuable than the money though (long term) should be the direct access to decision making and strategic goals inherent in a small, growing company. We hope to find an intern that we can involve in broader discussions and may even look to bring on in a more permanent capacity.
