Restaurant Sales Representative

Full Description

About AIVA

AIVA is a Calgary-based AI startup building a table mounted voice assistant hardware device for restaurants that helps reduce service bottlenecks, labour costs/shortages, support staff, and improve guest experience.

We’re launching with independent restaurants and are looking for driven sales-people to help us grow.

The Role

We’re hiring sales representatives to sell AIVA directly to restaurants.

This role is ideal for someone who is:

• Comfortable talking to restaurant owners and managers

• Self-motivated and entrepreneurial

• Not afraid of in-person outreach, cold calls, and follow-ups

You will be responsible for:

• Visiting restaurants in person and pitching AIVA

• Calling and emailing restaurant owners/managers

• Booking demos and closing deals

• Managing your own pipeline

We will provide sales materials, demos, and some lead lists, but you are also encouraged to generate your own leads.

Compensation & Commission

• Performance-based bonuses for top closers

• No cap on commissions

This is designed for people who want upside and flexibility.

Benefits & Growth

• Work independently with direct access to founders

• Sales bonuses for hitting milestones

• Gas expenses can be reimbursed at a later stage as the company grows

After 3 months of strong performance:

• Higher commission opportunities

• Performance bonuses

• Potential transition into a salaried role as the company scales

• Priority consideration for leadership roles (Sales Lead / Regional Rep)

Who This Is For

• Sales reps with experience selling to restaurants, hospitality, or small businesses

• People who want to grow with a startup early

• Anyone comfortable with door-to-door, phone, and relationship-based selling

Who This Is NOT For

• People uncomfortable with cold outreach
