About the Team
You will be leading a cross functional team that is based in Wroclaw and building new products to make the work of restaurants easier.
The Wrocław team works in a hybrid setup, i.e., we meet in the office once a week (rented coworking space). On top of that, we try to have a small gathering every month in Wrocław. The schedule is adjusted to our needs.
About aleno

Our great team also operates from many other locations such as Berlin, Munich and Wroclaw.We have a dynamic corporate culture with a start-up mentality. We have passionate restaurateurs, sales and tech experts working hand in hand in flat hierarchies. Together, we are shaping the path to a new era of hospitality.
The exciting part of my job is that thousands of hospitality businesses and over 30 million guests benefit directly from it every year. That fills me with pride.
