System resilience during peak and incident conditions This portfolio must perform in the real world: high volume, high variability, and high cost of failure.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Strong cross functional leadership and executive communication; capable of earning trust and driving alignment across Ops, Engineering, and field stakeholders.
Technical fluency to understand engineering trade offs and integration complexity across POS/KDS/BOH and connected digital channels.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with restaurant technology portfolios (POS, KDS, BOH workflows, menu management, rollouts) in franchise or multi unit environments.
Demonstrated experience improving menu accuracy and latency across channels and stakeholders.
Familiarity with modern product discovery and delivery operating models (e.g., empowered teams / continuous discovery).
