Account Executive, Field Sales

About Us

Sauce is a restaurant technology platform helping local businesses grow through commission-free delivery and pickup, powered by our proprietary delivery optimization technology. We serve a $105B+ U.S. local restaurant market and help restaurants own their digital and delivery operations end-to-end.

We’re a team that acts fast, stays close to the details, communicates with optimism, and supports one another relentlessly. We care deeply about delivering value for customers, improving a little bit every day, and using data and insight - not guesswork - to guide decisions. When challenges come up (and they do), we solve them together.

The Role

As a Field Account Executive, you will own the entire sales cycle - from walking into a restaurant for the first time to closing the deal on-site. You will spend your days in the field, building relationships face-to-face with restaurant owners and operators, demonstrating how Sauce protects their margins and grows their direct business, and signing them as customers.

You will generate the majority of your own pipeline through in-person prospecting and territory canvassing, supported by leads and appointments sourced by our BDR team. This is a high-autonomy, high-reward role for a self-starter who thrives on the energy of in-person selling, loves the restaurant world, and wants to control their own income.
