Chief of Staff to the CEO

About sunday. sunday builds payment and ordering tools for restaurants: guests scan a QR code to pay, tip and leave feedback in around ten seconds, and operators get handheld point-of-sale devices, guest ordering and AI features for menus, tips and shift reconciliation. The platform powers payments in thousands of restaurants across the United States, the United Kingdom and France. This role sits in the Executive Office and works directly with the CEO.
