<div>About Owner.com
Owner is the AI growth system for local restaurants.
Our AI continuously improves SEO, marketing, and online ordering to grow first-party orders. Unlike other companies that force small business owners to master their software to drive sales, Owner gives them a proven system run by experts.
Owner is like having an army of engineers and marketers on your side, just like the big chains.
Our vision
We&rsquo;re starting by helping independent restaurants succeed online.
But it&rsquo;s not just restaurants that need our help. Most local businesses are struggling with these same problems. Huge technology corporations are taking their customers, bleeding their profits, and making it hard for them to survive.
Once we nail the solution for restaurants &ndash; we&rsquo;ll scale it into every other local business type.
In the future we envision, tens of millions of local business owners will use our technology to succeed in the digital age.

Our traction
Since 2020, we've generated tens of millions in revenue and processed over half a billion dollars of online orders. 1 in 5 Americans have used an Owner.com website.
More importantly, we&rsquo;ve helped over 20,000 restaurant owners, and saved them nearly $200 million in fees.
Our team
Our team is now in the low hundreds. We&rsquo;ve got top talent from the most successful companies in SMB software, including: Shopify, HubSpot, DoorDash, ServiceTitan, Rappi, Faire and Stripe.
We&rsquo;ll be scaling even faster in 2026 to keep pace with our customer growth.
Where we work
Owner is a remote-first, global company headquartered in San Francisco, with a sales hub in Toronto. For a few of our roles we prioritize in-person collaboration at one of our office locations.

Why we're looking for you
Owner is hiring our first Head of Legal to build, scale, and lead the Legal function from the ground up.

This is a foundational role. You will own our full legal stack: corporate, compliance, employment, IP, and litigation. You will drive our most sensitive initiatives as the accountable DRI, while also architecting the systems, processes, and norms that allow Legal to scale. You will be supported by excellent outside counsel across domains, but your superpower is knowing when to leverage firms versus when to move fast internally. Success in this role looks like being a proactive, strategic, and embedded legal partner who sees around corners and builds durable foundations.
