About the Role:

The Business Development Representative (BDR) at Cake POS owns inbound demand: Sysco-referred leads and restaurant prospects who raise their hand. This is a full-cycle inbound role. You respond fast, qualify against our ideal customer profile, run discovery, and close new business for Cake POS.

Key responsibilities

• Respond to every Sysco and inbound lead within the service-level window, by phone first, then email and text.
• Qualify against the ICP: existing restaurant, 1–5 locations, $60K+ monthly GPV, verifiable processing history. Disqualify startups and food trucks quickly and log the reason.
• Run discovery on current POS, processing rate, contract terms, pain points, and decision-makers.
• Position Cake against the incumbent (Toast, Square, Shift4, SpotOn and others) using the competitive battlecards.
• Qualify startup restaurants to ensure underwriting standards are met
• Build quotes, present proposals, handle objections, and close new business through contract and onboarding handoff.
• Hand qualified multi-location or larger opportunities to the field team with a complete discovery summary.
• Keep Salesforce current: accurate stage, ACV, next step, and close date on every opportunity, updated the same day.
• Work the nurture list and re-engage stalled and older Sysco leads.

Qualifications

Required

• 1+ year in inside sales, BDR, or SDR roles with a closing component; restaurant, POS, or payments experience strongly preferred.
• Track record of meeting quota on inbound or short-cycle sales.
• Comfortable on the phone: high daily call volume, fast follow-up, strong discovery.
• Working knowledge of merchant processing concepts: interchange, effective rate, GPV, contract terms.
• Salesforce or comparable CRM discipline.
• Clear written communication for email, quotes, and handoffs.

Preferred

• Experience selling against Toast, Square, or other restaurant POS incumbents.
• Experience working with channel or distributor partners.
• Familiarity with statement analysis and competitive displacement selling.
• Prior restaurant or hospitality operations experience.

Success metrics The BDR is measured on quality of closed business, not location count or raw activity. Metric What it measures

Speed to lead Time from lead creation to first live contact

Qualified opportunities Leads that meet the ICP and enter Discovery

Net monthly revenue closed New business signed, measured in net revenue rather than locations

Go-live rate Closed deals that go live and take their first payment swipe

GPV attainment Actual processing volume against the volume estimated at sale

12-month retention Share of closed deals still live at one year

CRM hygiene Opportunities with current stage, ACV, next step, and close date

Compensation, location, and reporting Compensation is a base salary plus variable pay tied to net monthly revenue. Variable pay is earned when a merchant goes live and takes its first payment swipe, not at contract signature.
