BeyondMenu helps
15,000 independent restaurants win with digital hospitality — SEO, online ordering, guest engagement, retention, and revenue-driving tools built specifically for owner-operators. We’re a leading revenue partner for independent restaurants in this space.
This person will own the restaurant’s first 30–90 days after the sale --- understand the business + owner...complete implementation...prove measurable value...and build a Success Profile that allows Customer Success to continue the relationship without restarting discovery.
This is not a reactive support role --- we need someone who can analyze performance...identify the biggest opportunity or risk...make a clear recommendation...and confidently drive the customer toward action.
What You Will Own:: --- Build a complete Restaurant Profile covering the restaurant’s concept, market, operations, capacity, fulfillment model, technology, diner behavior + realistic performance potential
--- Understand the Owner Persona --- what they care about...how they define value...which metrics they trust...where they are skeptical + how they prefer to communicate
--- Drive setup, link insertion, product activation + the behaviors required to create the first measurable customer outcome within 30 days
--- Compare expected performance to actual performance across orders, revenue, traffic, calls, directions, menu views, reviews, visibility, engagement + product adoption
--- Diagnose whether performance gaps are caused by setup...adoption...discoverability...restaurant operations...market conditions...customer perception or something else
--- Recommend the one or two actions most likely to improve the restaurant’s results --- not overwhelm the customer with a generic feature list
--- Build a personalized Success Profile documenting the restaurant’s goals, KPIs, value proven, risks, growth opportunities, communication preferences + next best actions
--- Transition the account to Customer Success only when it is stable...the context is complete...initial value has been demonstrated + the next step is clear
The 30/60/90 Customer Motion:: Days 1–30 --- Understand + Prove
The goal is to understand the account...set realistic expectations...complete the required activation work + prove an early measurable win.
--- Validate the data-generated Restaurant Profile through structured discovery
--- Understand the owner’s goals, priorities, skepticism, decision criteria + definition of value
--- Confirm the restaurant’s operating model, kitchen capacity, growth constraints + current ordering ecosystem
--- Complete core setup, link insertion, activation + the adoption behaviors relevant to that restaurant
--- Clearly explain what BeyondMenu can influence + how value will be measured
--- Never make unsupported promises around orders or revenue
--- Document at least one credible and measurable customer outcome within the first 30 days
Success at Day 30 means:
We understand the restaurant + owner...core setup is complete...initial adoption is established + measurable value has started to become visible.
Days 31–60 --- Diagnose + Optimize
The goal is to turn early performance data + customer feedback into a focused plan for improvement.
--- Compare expected performance to what is actually happening
--- Identify the largest gap, strength, constraint or opportunity
--- Determine the actual root cause --- not just the surface-level symptom
--- Recommend the one or two actions most likely to materially improve the outcome
--- Confirm whether the customer completed the action + measure whether it changed performance, adoption, engagement, sentiment or risk
--- Update the Restaurant Profile when actual customer behavior challenges the original hypothesis
--- Begin building the long-term Success Profile
Success at Day 60 means:
The AM can clearly explain what we expected...what is actually happening...why the gap exists...what action we recommended + whether it worked.
Days 61–90 --- Advise + Transition
The goal is to stabilize the account...reinforce the value story...finalize the long-term plan + complete a no-reset handoff to Customer Success.
--- Confirm what is working...what is not + what matters most to the owner
--- Translate the results into a clear recommendation for the next phase
--- Finalize the Success Profile with value proven, adoption status, risks, opportunities, communication guidance + next best actions
--- Conduct a structured handoff so Customer Success inherits the complete customer context
--- Transition the account when it is ready --- we should not hold a healthy account until Day 90 simply because the framework says 90 days
Success at transition means:
Customer Success receives a stable account...a complete profile...a credible value story + clear ownership of the next action.
Challenger-Based Selling:: This role requires demonstrated Challenger-based selling ability in a post-sale environment.
Challenger selling does not mean being confrontational --- it means using insight, data + business judgment to help the owner recognize an opportunity or risk they may not see on their own...while maintaining trust + taking responsibility for moving the conversation forward.
Teach
Bring a clear point of view grounded in the restaurant’s profile, market, operating model + actual performance.
Help the owner understand what is driving the result --- especially when they are overly focused on one metric or operating from an incomplete assumption.
Tailor
Connect the recommendation to that specific restaurant + owner.
The conversation should reflect their business model...goals...constraints...communication style...language + definition of success.
Take Constructive Control
Make a clear recommendation...explain why it matters...address resistance directly...establish mutual commitments + leave every meaningful conversation with a defined next step.
Challenge With Evidence + Empathy
Acknowledge the owner’s concern without automatically accepting their conclusion.
Separate perception from observed performance...introduce a stronger perspective + explain what the evidence suggests we should do next.
Commercialize Proven Value
Identify expansion opportunities only after value + fit have been established.
Growth recommendations should connect directly to the customer’s Success Profile --- not feel like an unrelated or forced upsell.
The conversation should sound like:
“Based on your type of restaurant + market...this is what we expected --- this is what we are actually seeing --- here is where you are doing well...here is the biggest opportunity + here is what I recommend we do next.”
How Success Will Be Measured:: --- Setup + required product activation
--- Time to First Value
--- Percentage of accounts with a measurable customer outcome within 30 days
--- Product adoption + improvement in the behaviors expected for each Restaurant Profile
--- Intervention effectiveness --- what action was taken...what changed + whether it produced the intended outcome
--- Appropriate identification + progression of risk, Link Boost, multi-location + other expansion opportunities
What We Are Looking For:: --- 3+ years of success in strategic account management, Customer Success, consultative sales or another customer-facing commercial role
--- A measurable history of improving customer adoption, retention, account health or expansion
--- Demonstrated Challenger-based selling capability --- Teach, Tailor + Take Control
--- Strong discovery + diagnostic skills --- able to move from a surface-level issue to the root cause...quantified impact + prioritized recommendation
--- Strong data fluency --- comfortable comparing expected versus actual performance + turning the analysis into a clear customer story
--- Commercial judgment + confidence working directly with restaurant owners and operators
--- Ability to manage a high-volume portfolio without losing personalization
--- Experience in restaurant technology, SaaS, marketplaces, digital marketing, online ordering or SMB Customer Success is strongly preferred
--- Comfortable operating within an evolving model + helping us improve the playbook as we learn
---
Bilingual (English/Spanish) preferred.
What Candidates Must Demonstrate:: We are going to ask candidates to demonstrate the work --- not just talk about it.
Customer Case Exercise
Review a sample Restaurant Profile + performance dataset...identify the largest gap + create a practical 30/60/90 approach.
Challenger Role-Play
Lead a conversation with a skeptical restaurant owner whose definition of value is incomplete...teach a relevant insight...tailor the recommendation...handle resistance + take control of the next step.
Portfolio Prioritization
Explain how you would prioritize healthy, underutilized, underperforming, at-risk, high-value + expansion-ready accounts.
Proof From Experience
Provide a specific example where your discovery + recommendation changed a customer’s thinking, behavior or business outcome.
Handoff Judgment
Show what information must be understood + documented before an account should transition into long-term Customer Success.
The Standard:: A strong Strategic Account Manager does not complete a checklist + move on.
They understand the restaurant...prove relevant value...make a clear recommendation...measure whether it worked + leave the next owner of the relationship with more intelligence than they started with.
The operating loop is simple:
What should happen --- what does success look like --- what is happening now --- what should we do next --- did it work?
Then repeat.
