Day-in-a-Life of our BDM

As a Business Development Manager at Eat Club, you will spend most of your time out in the market, meeting venue owners, building relationships, and growing the platform one partnership at a time.

Your territory is yours to build.

You’ll be walking into restaurants, calling operators, and scheduling meetings with the venues you believe will thrive on the platform.

Some days start with mapping the neighbourhoods you want to focus on, identifying the venues that fit the product best, and planning how you’ll approach them.

Most of your day is spent face‑to‑face with restaurant owners and managers.

You’ll introduce Eat Club, explain how the platform works, and help operators see how it can drive more customers through their doors.

Conversations move quickly, some venues sign up after one conversation, others take a few follow‑ups.

Momentum matters and pipelines move fast (often 0‑14 days).

Between meetings you update your pipeline, follow up with prospects, and prepare for the next round of conversations.

You’ll also work closely with the broader Eat Club team, sharing insights about the local hospitality market, feeding back what venue owners are saying, and helping refine how we approach new cities as we expand across the UK.

This role suits someone who enjoys the energy of being in the field, thrives on building relationships, and is motivated by seeing their work translate directly into growth in the market.

Qualifications

• Curious and thoughtful, you ask good questions to understand how venues operate and what matters to them.
• Disciplined in your approach, you manage your time, territory, and pipeline with structure.
