Take restaurants live.

Tell us about yourself and why you're the right fit for Garde.

The company

Meet Garde

Garde is the financial backbone for independent restaurants: accounting and bookkeeping, with a full software suite for inventory, payroll, scheduling and reporting, all in one place.

We gather and centralise a restaurant's data, clean it up and build their financials, analyse those financials to uncover opportunities, then give them the workflows and software to act on it.

Restaurants sign with us and expect to be live in 45 days. You are the person who makes that true.

What you'll do

  • Kick off each new client, set the plan and the go-live date, and move them through our twelve stages on time.
  • Collect menus, recipes, vendor lists, invoices, count sheets and POS exports, clean them, and load them into Garde. Accuracy is the job. A wrong unit conversion shows up as a wrong food cost.
  • Understand how every dollar moves through the restaurant, and help them introduce procedures that give proper control and clean data.
  • Migrate them off their old accounting, POS and inventory platforms, and confirm nothing was left behind.
  • Run our items, vendor and recipe audits before go-live, and fix what they find.
  • Teach managers and kitchen staff to count, scan invoices and read the numbers. Run the first count and the first month's close with them.
  • Keep client stages, milestones and notes current, so the rest of the team and our AI teammates can act on them.

Who fits this role

  • Two or more years in restaurant operations, restaurant accounting, or implementing software for restaurants.
  • Comfortable in a spreadsheet with thousands of rows, inconsistent units and three names for the same item.
  • Organised enough to run many onboardings at once, dozens as we grow, and to know which one is at risk before anyone asks.
  • Personable and reliable. You will spend hours on video with owners, GMs and line cooks, and they need to be able to count on you.
  • Curious about AI tooling and ready to learn. You do not need to code.

Nice to have

  • Bookkeeping experience, QuickBooks Online or month-end close.
  • Experience with Toast, Square, Chowbus or similar POS onboarding.
  • Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish or Korean, given who our clients are.

How we work together

  • Start with the operator. Every decision starts with the restaurant owner on the other end. We speak kitchen language, not accounting jargon, and we do not trade what an operator needs for what is convenient for us.
  • Accuracy is the job. Clients make real money decisions on the numbers we hand them. No plug accounts, and audit before you publish. Get it right, then make it fast.
  • Get leverage. AI is a teammate, not a demo. We work with agents every day: the operator approves, the agents do the work, and we fix the root cause rather than the symptom. You do not need to code. You need to be curious.
  • Own it end to end. You run your work from start to finished. If something is not done it is yours: you are the person who cleans it, not the one who complains about it. Say it early when something is slipping. No surprises, no quiet failures.
  • Be frank. Say the hard thing to anyone, at any level, before the decision, then commit fully once it is made. Success is never quiet, and neither are problems. Frank is not unkind.
  • Move, then learn. We would rather ship something small this week and be wrong about part of it than plan for a month and be certain. Do it, then learn.

How we hire

  1. A five-minute application, then a two-minute Loom: who you are, one messy data problem you cleaned up, and why Garde. Applications without a Loom are not considered.
  2. A screening call.
  3. A final call with the founder.
  4. An offer.
