Now, more than ever, the Toast team is dedicated to supporting our customers. We're providing technology, resources, and a strong sense of community to help restaurants navigate these challenging times. Our focus is on building the restaurant platform that helps restaurants adapt, take control, and get back to what they do best: building the businesses they love. And because our technology is purpose-built for restaurants, by restaurant people, restaurants can trust that we’ll deliver on their needs for today while investing in experiences that will power their restaurant of the future.
As a Hybrid Development Representative (HDR), you will be responsible for generating quality sales opportunities for our Toast Account Executives. HDRs perform outreach to a mix of prospective restaurants, some of which have interacted with Toast in the past, while others have not, with the goal of getting in touch with restaurant owners to determine if they’d be a good fit to use Toast at their establishment. Daily outreach consists of warm and cold calls, emails, and social media touch points.
After performing as an HDR to get a taste of a multitude of pipeline generation activities, we expect HDRs to specialize into one of our other xDR positions: Account Development Representative (ADRs), Sales Development Representative (SDRs), or Business Development Representative (BDRs). High performing ADRs, SDRs and BDRs have the opportunity to promote into closing roles and become Toast’s future Account Executives.
This role offers flexibility for remote or hybrid work, depending on your location. Talk to your recruiter to determine the options available to you.
