Overview A Key Account Manager owns high-value restaurant partners within an assigned city, typically chains, established multi-outlet restaurants, and growing independents expanding to multiple locations. These accounts are more complex: they involve negotiations with multiple stakeholders, larger deal sizes, custom solutions, and deeper engagement around ROI and strategy. You combine field presence with office-based analysis and executive relationship management. Success requires both relationship skills and the analytical ability to build customized business cases. You mentor the Sales Manager tier and own a portion of the city-wide targets.
