Inconvénients
$36,000/year base salary. .05% of food sales as commission paid monthly if your market is launched, you will have to have hundreds of restaurants signed up to make any extra money-don’t let the 1 week training in Louisiana fool you. You are not going to get rich, be a billionaire anytime soon. Only folks who are rich are the 5 founding members and a few key managers who had stock and Tillman who bought Waitr and BiteSquad. Charge backs Cancellations Restaurants have 2 plans to choose from: 15% transaction rate for $300/month for 5 months- you get pay $150 I think per sale 25% transaction rate, no commission paid Guess which plan they go with? You guessed it. 25%= no commission. No one tells you that in training. This is a HUNTER role. Quotas must be met or you are fired. This is churn ‘em and burn ‘em. And be prepared to “share” your territory with another BDM. It is cut throat. First to sign a restaurant wins. Everyone is a millennial except CEO and a few key staff. It’s good and bad. At training be prepared for lots of F bombs. They cuz a lot. Even the CEO. Very unprofessional. Competition is fierce and Waitr has no branding. Not none nationwide. Uber Eats, Door Dash and Grubhub call restaurants all day long and sign people. You might work a restaurant for 4 months and still not sign them in person! If in a new market not launched the Business Development Manager can be the only person in the market for months trying to be the sales person, marketing, advertising, PR, brand manager. You can’t do it all. Partners who succeed must be on at launch. Afterwards there will be little to no support. No advertising. Nothing. If you travel it is by car up to 5 hr trip by plane over 5 hrs. They pay for the plane and hotel. Food is on you. No per diem. No food allowance. No free Waitr coupons. Nothing. No company cell phone. And no money towards your cell phone even though you are expected to use it for work daily. No printer provided. Monday & Tuesday morning mandatory conference calls Bi weekly sales calls to go over you progress. You have better made your calls. Sent your emails and pulled doors. You must pull 10 doors a day. And you almost have to harass restaurants to get them to sign it.
