## Job description

IT Engineer

About us: Here at Tarro we build products that empower small brick and mortar restaurants by liberating them of the operational burden of running their business. We accomplish this by providing a frictionless connection between them and their customers through our multi-product ecosystem offering AI-enabled order taking, delivery enablement, payment solutions, and point-of-sale software. At Tarro, we use a combination of bits (technology) and atoms (people) to solve real world problems facing small business owners. We obsess over placing our customers first and working backwards from there. When our customers succeed, we succeed. The restaurant industry in the US is over a $1 trillion total addressable market (TAM), but remains relatively underserved by technology. Large chains are able to afford expensive tech that gives them a huge advantage; we believe that small restaurant owners deserve access to the same technologies at an affordable price. Tarro has been profitable for nearly a decade and has seen 5x revenue growth in the past four years. As of our last fundraising round in mid-2022, we were valued at $450M and have since seen substantial growth across customer acquisition, product development, and company headcount. Thousands of loyal restaurants have entrusted Tarro with their success, and together we have supported nearly 20 million customers. We are proud to be named one of Built In’s top companies to work for in 2023.

## Core Business

## Products & Services
- **Tarro Phone Ordering Platform**: An AI-powered voice platform that handles incoming phone orders with three-second wait times, 99.5% order accuracy, and 5-10% lower labor expenses. Replaces or supplements part-time phone staff.
- **Tarro Delivery Management**: A solution that allows restaurants to manage their own delivery operations in-house, saving customers $10 on average per order compared to third-party delivery apps, with no commission fees.
- **Customer Engagement & Marketing Tools**: Features like automated text messaging to drive repeat orders and dinnertime demand, helping restaurants grow sales without additional staffing.

## Market Standing

- **Proven ROI for Customers**: Clients report 5-20% revenue increases, thousands in labor cost savings, and over 80% reduction in missed deliveries and complaints
- **Bootstrapped to Scale**: Built the company without outside capital for years, fostering a culture of resourcefulness and discipline before raising institutional funding

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the Platform**: Continuing to grow the customer base beyond 3,000 restaurants, with a focus on independent operators
