As AI changes what's possible, we're reimagining how restaurant back offices operate—automating routine work, helping teams make better decisions, and giving restaurant leaders more time to focus on growing their businesses.
We're transforming how we work, too. AI is changing how we build products, solve problems, and deliver results for our customers. We're embracing new ways of working, moving faster, and creating opportunities for our people to make a greater impact.
At Restaurant365, our culture is built on ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement. We believe in challenging ourselves, learning every day, and working together to achieve great results. We're looking for people who are curious, take initiative, and want to grow while helping shape the future of an industry.
Restaurant365 is transforming restaurant operations with a cloud-based platform that unifies accounting, back office, workforce management, inventory, payroll, and more. We are looking for an enterprise seller who is motivated by winning the largest and most complex deals in the company—and who can turn that ambition into meaningful customer outcomes.
As an Enterprise Account Executive, you will lead high-value sales opportunities with large national restaurant brands and franchise systems. You will engage executive stakeholders, navigate complex buying environments, sell across multiple product lines, displace legacy software, and build the alignment required for systemwide adoption.
This is a strategic, full-cycle role for a seller who creates momentum, builds champions, and confidently pursues meaningful commitments.

- Develop and present business cases quantifying the ROI of migrating to R365 Payroll — including labor cost reduction, compliance risk mitigation, and administrative time savings
- Collaborate with the broader Strategic Accounts team to identify payroll expansion opportunities within existing R365 accounting and operations customers
- Maintain accurate pipeline data, activity logs, and revenue forecasts in Salesforce & Gong
- Stay current on payroll compliance regulations relevant to the restaurant industry, including federal, state, and local wage laws, tip credit rules, and overtime requirements
- Represent R365 as a payroll subject matter expert at industry events, prospect meetings, and customer-facing engagements
- Provide a smooth handoff to Implementation and Customer Success teams post-sale, ensuring expectations are set and the customer is set up for long-term success
- Demonstrate adaptability and a high level of accountability as part of a rapidly scaling sales organization
