President To Ceo - Dineoutwith.us

President to CEO - dineoutwith.us

New York, NY, United States

NB: PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW THE REQUIREMENTS SECTION OF THIS POST. WE HAVE BEEN CAREFUL TO ARTICULATE OUR NEEDS AND WOULD BE GRATEFUL NOT TO RECEIVE CANDIDATES WHO DO NOT FIT THEM.

About dineoutwith.us

dineoutwith.us is on a mission to help the world revive the dying art of the dinner party by translating it into a luxe, private, culinary adventure at best-of-breed restaurants.

As a pioneer in the burgeoning social dining space, dineoutwith.us partners with restaurants to offer exclusive off-menu, private dining experiences to groups of six or more diners. dineoutwith.us dinner parties are initiated by a user who, acting as a “host”, invites friends, colleagues, or family members for a unique, customized experience.

dineoutwith.us allows people to easily gather friends, family and colleagues at restaurants, solving the six-person maximum of the incumbent, non-committed reservation platforms (i.e., OpenTable, RESY, etc.). This serves both diners and restaurants well: diners enjoy a frictionless evening of convivial conversation and a unique dining experience, and restaurants gain a much better way to manage the “in-between” (i.e. too big for reservation platforms, too small for a private event professional) group size of 6-20.

As President, you will first partner with, and then take the day-to-day reins from, the Founder. Managing the day-to-day operations of the business in NYC and eventually our national rollout. As a market-entry stage leader, you will focus on actualizing our market entry plan, helping to secure resources, and leading a vigorous execution.
