    Description

    Field Sales Representative Part-Time | Boston, MA | Commission + Minimum Wage

    About the Role

    We are building a platform that helps restaurants reduce food waste and reach new customers, and we need a driven, outgoing person to bring Boston's restaurant community on board. You will be our boots on the ground, walking into restaurants across downtown Boston, building relationships with managers, and closing sign-ups.

    This is a great role for someone who thrives on face-to-face interaction, loves the hustle of hitting the pavement, and wants their paycheck to reflect their results.

    What You'll Do

    • Visit restaurants in the downtown Boston area in person and pitch our app to owners and managers
    • Build rapport quickly and handle objections confidently
    • Guide restaurants through the sign-up process on the spot
    • Track your outreach and signed accounts in an organized way
    • Report progress directly to the hiring manager

    What We're Looking For

    • Comfortable walking into businesses cold and asking for the decision-maker
    • Persistent — you don't give up after the first "no"
    • Organized and self-directed; you manage your own route and schedule efficiently
    • Strong verbal communicator who can explain a value proposition simply and clearly
    • Reliable, professional, and punctual
    • Prior sales, canvassing, or hospitality experience is a plus but not required

    Compensation

    • Base pay at Massachusetts $22/hr for approximately 15 hours per week
    • Commission paid per restaurant successfully signed up
    • Flexible schedule

    Requirements

    • Must be able to work in downtown Boston in person
    • Must have a smartphone
    • Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S.
