The Field Sales Executive will map, prospect, pitch, and close new restaurant partnerships within their region. They will communicate with restaurant owners through various channels to showcase Deliveroo's technology, oversee the onboarding process for new restaurants, and ensure their success during the initial weeks after signing. The role also involves attending food meet-ups and maintaining performance metrics related to restaurant sign-ups.
Online food delivery connecting customers and restaurants
Deliveroo connects customers with a variety of restaurants through its online food delivery service. Customers can place orders via the Deliveroo website or mobile app, which are sent to partner restaurants for preparation. Once the food is ready, Deliveroo's network of delivery riders brings it directly to the customer's home. This system allows restaurants to expand their reach without handling their own delivery logistics. Deliveroo earns money by charging restaurants a commission on orders and customers a delivery fee. They also offer a subscription service, Deliveroo Plus, which gives customers unlimited free delivery for a monthly fee, encouraging loyalty and providing consistent revenue. Additionally, Deliveroo engages in community initiatives, such as providing free meals to NHS workers during the pandemic, which helps build a positive public image and strengthen community relationships.
