  • Experience selling into restaurants, hospitality, foodservice distribution, or related industries strongly preferred.

  • A hunter mentality with the confidence to prospect, cold call, and close new business.

  • Strong relationship-building, negotiation, and consultative selling skills.

  • Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and take ownership of results.

  • Comfortable using CRM systems, technology, and sales data.

  • Valid driver's license and ability to travel throughout the assigned territory.

Compensation & Benefits
  • Starting Annual Compensation: $65,000–$120,000, depending on experience.

  • Long-Term Earning Potential: Compensation transitions toward a commission-driven structure after the first year, rewarding territory growth and sales performance.

  • 401(k) with company matching.

  • Paid vacation, holidays, and additional paid leave.
