  • A team player's instinct: showing up with energy, sharing what's working (and what's not), and lifting up those around you to win together

It'd be even cooler if you had:
  • Experience in restaurant tech (POS, payroll, online ordering, reservations, or tip management) or a working knowledge of restaurant operations, tip pooling, and labor compliance
  • A track record selling in high-volume inbound environments where speed and pipeline discipline matter
  • Availability in PST or MST business hours

Whether you're honing your craft or exploring new paths, you'll be supported and empowered to own your growth and impact a product shaping the future of the restaurant industry.
  • Challenge: We're tackling real problems in a fast-moving, complex industry. The work is scrappy and ambiguous, but meaningful. You'll think critically, act with intention, and shape solutions that make a real difference for restaurant teams.
  • Culture: We're proud to be recognized among the best workplaces in North America. Guided by our mission and values, we move fast to solve meaningful problems and celebrate wins together. Whether through in-office and remote events, team offsites like Sparks, or everyday moments of connection, we create space for shared growth, collaboration, and fun.
  • Equity: We're a Series C, VC-backed SaaS company, and we believe everyone should share in the success they help create. When we build together, we grow together.
  • Health and Wellness: We support Shifties in and outside of work, knowing that what people need can change over time. From day one, you'll have access to benefits like health and dental, lifestyle spending accounts to a parental leave program built with flexibility in mind, to help you bring your best self to work.
  • Flexibility: Our team is intentional around how and where we work, whether remotely, in person, or a mix of both. We prioritize candidates who thrive in a hybrid work environment with offices in Saskatoon and Toronto, ensuring in-person collaboration and connection when possible. Plus, we offer a flexible vacation policy to encourage everyone to recharge when needed. Oh, and our '90 Day Shift' program lets Shift work from (almost) anywhere because who wouldn't want to trade their desk for a beach view once in a while?
  • Support: We set Shifties up for success with the tools they need, like the latest Apple tech, a home office setup, and some 7shifts swag to make it official. But support goes beyond day one. We're serious about professional growth, offering coaching, feedback, development planning, and opportunities to grow from within.

We know you might not check every box, and that's okay. If you're excited about this role, inspired to contribute to a meaningful product, and eager to share ideas that drive real change, we'd love to hear from you. We're building an inclusive team that reflects the diverse industry we serve, and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
