About RestauNax

RestauNax is an all-in-one platform for independent restaurants and home-based food businesses: point of sale, online ordering, restaurant websites and apps, in-store menu TVs, self-order kiosks, AI voice ordering, and built-in marketing tools. We’re a founder-led, early-stage company based in Tampa, Florida, and we sell to owners who are too busy running a kitchen to sit through a sales cycle. Our marketing has to earn its own attention.

We already run a 150+ page SEO site with programmatic city and state guides, a blog, competitor comparison pages, free tools for restaurant owners, paid campaigns on Google, Meta, and Microsoft, and an affiliate/partner program. What we don’t have yet is one person who owns all of it and runs it the way a modern team should: with AI doing the heavy lifting and a human making the calls.

The role

You will own demand generation end to end. Not “manage an agency”, not “write briefs for freelancers”: you run it.

We are specifically looking for someone who has already rebuilt their own workflow around AI. If you still draft every piece of content by hand, build every ad variant manually, or pull reports into a spreadsheet on Friday afternoons, this is not the role for you. If you have spent the last couple of years figuring out what AI is actually good at in marketing, and what it is not, we want to talk.

What you’ll do

• Own the full funnel from first search to booked demo: SEO, content, paid, email, partners, and conversion.
• Run an AI-first content engine. Research, outline, draft, edit, and localize content with AI at every step, then apply real editorial judgment so it reads like a person who knows restaurants wrote it.
• Scale paid acquisition on Google, Meta, and Microsoft Ads using AI for audience research, creative generation, ad-copy variants, and bid and budget analysis.
• Grow organic and AI-search visibility. Manage our SEO program with Ahrefs and similar tools, and work on how RestauNax shows up in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI answers, not just the ten blue links.
• Build automations, not to-do lists. Wire together AI tools, CRM, email, and analytics so lead routing, follow-up, reporting, and content refreshes run without you touching them.
• Design lifecycle and email marketing for leads, trials, and existing customers, with AI-driven segmentation and personalization.
• Own attribution and reporting. Know which campaigns produce demos that close, and say so plainly, with the numbers, every week.
• Recruit and manage affiliates and partners (POS resellers, restaurant consultants, food-business communities) and give them the assets to sell for us.
• Test relentlessly. Landing pages, offers, pricing pages, and messaging. Use AI to generate hypotheses and variants faster than we could by hand, then let the data decide.

What you bring

• 4+ years of hands-on marketing experience, ideally in B2B SaaS, restaurant technology, payments, or another product sold to small-business owners. You have owned a number, not just a channel.
• AI is already in every part of your work. You use tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Midjourney or similar image models, AI ad-creative tools, AI SEO platforms, and no-code automation (Make, Zapier, n8n or similar) daily, and you can show us the systems you built with them.
• You know where AI fails. You can spot hallucinated stats, generic copy, and keyword-stuffed pages, and you would never publish them under our name.
• Strong performance-marketing fundamentals: paid search and social, conversion-rate optimization, analytics (GA4, Google Tag Manager, Search Console), and SEO you have personally executed, not just supervised.
• Clear, direct writing. You write for busy restaurant owners, not for other marketers.
• Comfort with a small, fast-moving company. You will work directly with the founder, ship weekly, and be judged on results.

Nice to have

• Experience marketing to restaurants, food service, or home-based food sellers.
• Experience with affiliate or partner programs.
• Familiarity with programmatic SEO and generative-engine optimization (GEO).
• Basic comfort with HTML, Markdown, or a Git-based content workflow. Our site content lives in code, and you will work alongside engineering to ship it.
• Spanish proficiency. Our support and a meaningful share of our customers are bilingual.
