More about working at Table22

About Table22

At Table22, we believe that restaurants are critical centers of community, creativity, and joy. Our mission is to help them thrive economically, so that every chef can create freely, bring joy to customers, and strengthen their communities through food. 

Through this work, we empower restaurants to connect with and serve fans in new ways — bringing the joy of dining outside their four physical walls, and giving diners new ways to experience and surround themselves with their favorite chefs & restaurants.

As a team, we work relentlessly in service of our mission, take care of one another, ask hard questions, stress-test assumptions, focus on our customers and their problems, and — most importantly — relish the opportunity to help our partners bring joy & magic to the world through food.

In this role you will

• Build foundational understanding — Your primary responsibility will be developing and socializing an in-depth understanding of our customers—both restaurants and their patrons—and how Table22 can best service their needs and aspirations

• Have immediate, lasting business impact —  Your research & insight will both steer the product roadmap and be part of the product itself 

• Work w/ a novel, under-explored (but not too messy!) dataset — We’re early stage enough that there are still huge, strategy-shifting insights to uncover by investigating the right questions, but large enough that one can draw meaningful conclusions from the data we’ve collected. 

• Help small business owners — Our business model fully aligns with and revolves around our restaurant partners’ financial success. Your work will contribute directly towards enabling your favorite local businesses to thrive creatively and economically.

• Grow & develop — Fostering professional growth & development (technical & interpersonal) is a central value for the team.

Who You’ll Work With

This is a cross-functional role that will touch all aspects of the business, but it sits in the product org and reports to David Brodsky, Head of Product & Data. You can expect to collaborate frequently with senior leadership as well as a highly capable in-house engineering team.

What we’re looking for

A broad range of backgrounds and experience-levels would be a good fit, but the following are must-haves:

• 3+ years of rigorous analytical experience working with complex data

• Strong business intuition, critical thinking, and problem solving skills

• Strong data, data visualization, and statistical intuition

• Proficiency w/ SQL and at least one scripting language (e.g. Python, R, etc.)

• Interested in and motivated by solving business problems (rather than purely technical ones)

Additionally, the following are highly desirable:

• A passion for restaurants/hospitality (strong intuitions around the core customer have proven invaluable)

• Strong proficiency w/ statistical/econometric methods

• Research experience, particularly quantitative
