Helps independent restaurants take orders and payments in one place
When a restaurant has to take orders, ring up tables, and collect payment, there are a lot of moving parts to keep track of. The problem is, every slow or messy checkout costs money and frustrates the people waiting to pay. SpotOn makes point-of-sale systems and payment processing for independent restaurants, so orders, payments, and profit tools all work from one system.

Some good signs, but there's a red light here. Get it answered before you invest.
Built from what this posting leaves out. How they answer tells you as much as what they say.
What percent of the variable did reps actually earn last year?
When most of the pay is variable, this is your real salary.
Where in the range would someone with my background land, and why?
A wide range means the top number may not be your number.
How many reps are you hiring for this, and how many from last year's class are still here?
Hiring a lot can mean growth, or people leaving.
What percentage of fully ramped reps hit quota last year?
OTE is what you could earn. This is how likely you are to earn it.
Find out where you fit, and where you don't, before you hit submit.
Most résumé tools try to make you look like a match. I'd rather help you find out if you are one.
Nothing made up.
Nothing goes on your résumé that you didn't do. If a line would need a number you didn't give me, I ask. I don't guess. On Braun Board it's checked in code, not just promised.
Curiosity before conclusions.
If the job wants something your résumé doesn't show, I ask before I assume. Plenty of sellers have done the thing and just never wrote it down.
Sorting, not selling.
Some jobs won't line up with what you've done. Finding that out before you apply isn't a loss. It's an hour back, spent on a job that fits.
No score.
A match score tells you how well you copied their words. It doesn't tell you whether you'd be good at the job, or happy there.
It's the same way I teach selling. We don't control who says yes. We do control where we spend our time, and whether everything we say is true.

Based only on what the posting says. Lights are a starting point for your first call, not a final judgment.
What percentage of reps on the team have been here more than 18 months?
Tenure shows whether people stay long enough to get paid.
Why is this role open? Did someone leave, or is it new?
New headcount is growth. A replacement means someone left. Ask why.
Save these for later. They land better once they've said yes to you.
Can I see the full comp plan in writing, including clawbacks and accelerators?
What's in writing is what gets paid. Read it before you sign.
Can I see the actual comp distribution for the team last year, not just the OTE?
The spread shows what most reps really take home. OTE is just the target.
I'd be walking away from earned commission to join. Is there room for a sign-on bonus to help cover that?
Leaving money behind is a fair reason to ask. The worst answer is no.
