Company mission
Toast's mission is to enrich the food experience for all.
Role
Who you are
- A combination of SaaS, Digital Marketing and Restaurant Industry Technology experience is required
- 5+ years of relevant successful technology or professional services sales experience
- Previous success in selling/leading sales efforts in environments with 6 to 12 month sales cycles
- Proven sales skills in complex deal development, financial structuring, negotiations, and closing with both new and existing clients
- Experience in MEDDPICC Sales Qualification preferred
- Travel 30% or more
- Comfortable with process-driven sales, reporting, and tracking
- Strong written and presentation-based communication skills are required
- You've built something to make yourself faster. You can walk us through a repeatable process, template or workflow you personally created to eliminate busywork from your own week, and what it gave you back
- Demonstrated learning velocity. You can point to a capability you taught yourself in the last six months without being asked to, and explain how you now use it
- You can articulate a problem precisely. Comfort framing a messy commercial question clearly and specifically enough that a tool, a teammate or a supporting function can actually act on it
- You manage a territory like a portfolio. Comfort making deliberate coverage decisions across a large account base rather than defaulting to whichever deal is loudest this week
- Genuine curiosity about how restaurants actually operate — margins, labour, throughput, the difference between a 3-location operator and a 30-location one — because that is what earns a second conversation. Comfort working in build mode, where territory definition, process and tooling are actively being shaped and you are expected to have an opinion on them
What the job involves
- The Mid-Market Sales Executive is responsible for sales and revenue growth in their assigned, targeted accounts. This individual is responsible for building a sales pipeline, managing a sales process for their mid-market brands/group with 40 to 500 units
- Lead efforts to grow Toast market share in the multi-unit restaurant industry through establishment and cultivation of ongoing relationships at the C-Suite level through research, cold-calling and networking to develop a qualified pipeline of prospects
- Create demand by educating prospects on the Toast value proposition of products and solutions through demonstrations and presentations communicating a compelling purchase rationale
- Cultivate relationships with business partner counterparts who sell and support complementary applications and services to point of sale systems serving the restaurant industry
- Plan, direct and coordinate sales support activities, including management of the sales pipeline through Toast sales tools (Salesforce)
- Involved in all phases of the sales lifecycle including: identifying and developing leads; meeting with clients; developing value propositions; financial deal structuring; contract negotiation and closing
- Understand the competitive landscape (strengths, weaknesses, benefits) and determine how to position Toast to win
- Collaborate with Account Service and Implementation Teams to ensure that expectations set during the sales process are met in delivery
- Own your own leverage. Continuously identify the repetitive parts of the role — research, prep, notes, follow-up, list building and systematically get them off your plate, so the majority of your week is spent in live conversation with operators
- Work evidence, not alphabetical order. Prioritize accounts based on observable change in the operator's business: expansion, ownership change, hiring patterns, guest feedback trends, visible technology, and disqualify unworkable accounts quickly so your capacity concentrates where it can actually close
- Treat your book as an asset you maintain. Keep account and contact records accurate, current, and deduplicated, understanding that routing, scoring, and every AI-assisted workflow is only as good as the data underneath it
- Untangle who really decides. Resolve complex ownership structures, franchise groups, multiple legal entities, operators running several concepts under different names to identify and reach the actual economic decision maker rather than whoever answers the phone
- Arrive already informed, and earn trust in a low-trust market. Focus on the operator's specific situation rather than a product pitch, and recognize that many operators have been burned by a previous vendor; credibility, not feature comparisons, is often what wins the deal
- Close the loop on what's broken. Flag bad data, wrong contacts, and signals that didn't hold up, so the system your whole team relies on improves rather than quietly eroding
Our take
Running a restaurant means managing a stressful set of elements, all needing to work together seamlessly to create a good experience for diners. Toast helps to streamline processes and puts an end to piles of paperwork by providing a platform whereby tableside ordering, menu modifications, labour management, payroll, and more are all housed in one system that can run from a tablet.
Toast offers restaurant-grade hardware and cloud-based, customisable payment solutions to serve clients from startup through to growth phase, as well as a service for established restaurants. By combining all the digital services a restaurant might need, the platform can act as a comprehensive solution for restaurants of any size, saving restaurateurs from having to invest in a range of technologies.
Toast has over 70,000 restaurants on its books, from food trucks to national brands, and its mobile ordering and payment solutions have made it a recognized brand for consumers. The company's IPO in 2021 saw it valued at over $30 billion, and since then, it has added more features to its product suite, including wholesale and catering order tools. Toast has proven its place as an indispensable player in the restaurant space.
