Ilir Sela started Slice with the belief that local pizzerias deserve all of the advantages of major franchises without compromising their independence. Starting with his family’s pizzerias, we now empower over tens of thousands of restaurants with the technology, services, and collective power that owners need to better serve their digitally minded customers and build lasting businesses. We’re growing and adding more talent to help fulfill this valuable mission. That’s where you come in.

Your success in this role will depend on your ability to ask insightful questions, manage objections effectively, and build lasting relationships with customers. This position is ideal for someone passionate about sales and dedicated to understanding customer requirements to drive impactful results.

This is a high-velocity, strategic sales role with lots of daily touch-points to different shops to achieve targets.
