Product Manager - Link
Link connects external ordering channels, such as delivery aggregators and search & social networks to the MENU platform, enabling restaurant brands to manage their menu centrally and streamline operational processes.
Restaurants no longer need to log-in to multiple different portals and/or send e-mails with long response times to make a menu change, but instead can make the change once and it is immediately propagated to all connected ordering channels.
Orders are injected directly into the restaurant’s POS and shown on a single central Tablet, meaning that orders don’t need to be manually transferred to the POS, improving order accuracy and customer experience.
The Product Manager for Link works on extending the reach of MENU’s omni-channel platform by connecting the platform with new ordering channels, as well as on the development of new features to simplify the management of aggregators and provide detailed analytics to restaurants.
The Product Manager is responsible for leading the functional development of new product features and improvements from concept to delivery and beyond, ensuring that they work and meet customer needs. The Product Manager works with customers, users and internal stakeholders to understand the needs and requirements, as well as with developers, QA engineers and UX designers to design and build the product. They are the sole point of contact for product-related questions/matters from the Scrum team, and work with the product management team and customers to deliver the right answers.
The Product Manager needs to have a good understanding of the product’s architecture and capabilities, in order to analyze new product developments and their dependencies. Their technical knowledge and background should aid in the analysis process (feasibility, architecture and dependencies), the writing of product specifications and in the communication with developers.
