Web Front-End Engineer, Restaurants

  • Full-time

Company Description

We believe everyone should be able to participate and thrive in the economy. So we’re building tools that make commerce easier and more accessible to all. We started with a little white credit card reader but haven’t stopped there. Our new reader helps our sellers accept chip cards and NFC payments, and our Cash app lets people pay each other back instantly. We’re empowering the independent electrician to send invoices, setting up the favorite food truck with a delivery option, helping the ice cream shop pay its employees, and giving the burgeoning coffee chain capital for a second, third, and fourth location. Let’s shorten the distance between having an idea and making a living from it. We’re here to help sellers of all sizes start, run, and grow their business—and helping them grow their business is good business for everyone.

Job Description

Restaurants today are crippled, held hostage by archaic software and inefficient workflows. We are reimagining this industry—Hospitality. The Point of Sale is becoming increasingly mobile and is moving to the diner. The restaurant is realizing new revenue streams that both complement and compete with their front of house businesses. We are taking a fresh look at this industry and building a modern product ecosystem for today's Food and Drink businesses that capitalizes on these themes—efficiency, automation, and reliability—which are becoming the cornerstones of the new breed of hospitality tools.
