About Us

Founded in 2017, Poncho combines two decades of restaurant ownership experience with a newly developed team of seasoned tech veterans to empower restaurant owners to run more efficient operations and enhance the customer experience through alternative ordering processes. Poncho is comprised of restaurateurs who are creating solutions for other restaurateurs, fulfilling our mission to create business savings while also engaging patrons with new customer experiences. We are building a platform from the ground up and are very much looking for those who want to be involved with early product decisions; this is a great opportunity to leave your fingerprint on products that are exciting and in high demand.

Our platform already includes a new approach to traditional Point-of-Sale solutions and brings to market a customer kiosk that is easy to setup, design, and manage for concepts that wish to explore additional cost savings. Other aspects of our platform include advanced ordering, customer relationship management, and loyalty programs. We have a truly unique opportunity here as we have spun out of the Denver restaurant, ‘Birdcall’, which houses the current version of the platform. This has allowed us to have 3 ‘labs’, where we can test new experiences in actual restaurants.

You

You have a passion for high-quality, reliable and maintainable code. You’re comfortable working side by side with product managers, designers, and customers, making decisions together in order to quickly deliver valuable working software to all customers. You’re agile and retrospective, and not afraid to identify what we’re doing wrong so we can fix it, and what we're doing right so we can improve on it. Above all, you judge your success by the success of your team and the happiness of our customers. You are also generally curious and have interests in different areas! Tell us what you’re into and what you love to do in your spare time.

Your Day
