Junior Business Development Representative

About Upserve, Inc.

Upserve is rebuilding the restaurant POS platform for independent full-service restaurants.

Restaurants today are navigating rising labor costs, staffing shortages, operational complexity, and increasing pressure from fragmented technology systems. Generic retail POS systems are not built for the realities of hospitality operations.

Upserve helps independent restaurants improve service, increase revenue per table, and run more efficient operations through restaurant-native POS, payments, reporting, guest intelligence, and operational workflows designed specifically for hospitality.

We are rebuilding our go-to-market organization with a focus on:

● operational discipline,

● measurable pipeline generation,

● scalable sales execution,

● and strong customer relationships.
