Corporate Controller

About Cheetah Technologies, Inc.

Restaurants and the businesses that serve them account for hundreds of billions of dollars in annual purchasing, yet most of it happens offline. From the humblest NYC slice and a cup of joe to museum-quality lattes (and yes, avocado toast), each order represents a long paper trail and a series of truck deliveries.

With a rapidly growing market presence, Cheetah is already streamlining the daily workflow of distributors selling to thousands of restaurants and small business owners. Using Cheetah's Technology Stack these distributors are increasing their revenue, improving sales efficiency, and providing a more delightful customer experience. Cheetah eliminates the burden of highly manual order management processes from these SMB's - bringing the Silicon Valley user experience to an industry that hasn't evolved in decades. In the process, we are digitally connecting every player in the supply chain, from restaurant to supplier, in order to reduce food waste, drive efficiencies, and improve livelihoods.

At Cheetah, a relentless executive team has set out to change this reality, armed with deep industry and entrepreneurial experience, personal conviction, and $100M+ in funding from Eclipse, Sator Grove, MannaTree, Floodgate, and the early backers of Facebook, Lyft and Airbnb. Join us as we build and scale leading our expertise in food distribution and technology across the industry and enable distributors, manufacturers and restaurant owners with elegant solutions powering the ecosystem towards a greener and more efficient future.
