Fast Lane Merchant Outreach & Sales Contractor

We are looking for a part-time contractor to support operational setup, launch readiness, and test orders for client's Fast Lane pilot. Fast Lane is a new customer experience designed to help customers get their favorite lunch items from popular restaurants faster during peak lunch hours. It creates a dedicated storefront for participating merchants with a smaller set of top-performing SKUs, paired with logistics, merchandising, and merchant prep levers to improve lunch delivery speed and reliability.

Timeline and Commitment

• Start Date: ASAP
• Timeline: Through end of December
• Time Commitment: 40 hours/week (4 hours/day)
• Pay: $40/hour
• Bonus: Up to $5,000 available based on performance and impact, if applicable

Program Goal

The goal is to have 20 Fast Lane merchants onboarded by the end of December. The contractor should be local to NYC or Metro Jersey and able to travel to participating merchant locations as needed. Exact location is still TBD, but potential markets may include Chicago, Atlanta, or NYC.

What You'll Do

• Conduct merchant outreach
• Support pitch and close process
• Maintain sales pipeline tracking

Meeting Cadence

We will meet daily for a short check-in to review outreach progress, merchant responses, pitch pipeline, blockers, and next steps. What Success Looks Like Success means helping build a strong merchant pipeline and closing enough participating merchants to support the goal of onboarding 20 Fast Lane merchants by the end of December. This includes keeping outreach moving, scheduling pitch meetings quickly, following up consistently, and helping merchants get to a clear yes/no decision.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is organized, proactive, and comfortable communicating with merchants, account managers, and internal teams. You should be comfortable with:

• Conducting structured outreach and follow-up
• Coordinating meetings
• Preparing for merchant pitch conversations
• Tracking details across spreadsheets and internal tools
• Communicating clearly with internal and external stakeholders
• Driving a sales or outreach process from lead list through close

Restaurant, marketplace, operations, or sales experience is a plus, but not required. The most important qualities are ownership, clear communication, follow-through, and comfort moving merchants through an outreach and close process.
