Most People Spend Their Entire Career Building Someone Else's Dream. They spend 10, 15, sometimes 20 years helping someone else create wealth. They improve systems. They solve problems. They increase profits. They build teams. And at the end of the day, they get a slightly bigger paycheck and maybe a better title. We're offering something much greater than that.
Starfruit Express is building what investors believe will become one of the most important infrastructure companies serving independent restaurants. We bring restaurant owners huge profits, saving them time and money without adding extra work to their plate. We have built out the client base, the software, and demand exceeds capacity so there is now a waiting list. We’re ready to go. Are you?
Why This Role Matters
- Starting compensation: $85,000–$105,000
- Performance-based equity opportunities
- Clear path toward Director of Logistics
- Near-term compensation potential exceeding $150,000 for exceptional performers who create significant business impact
Every company says it will be the next Microsoft or Apple. We'll say it too! Because even at half that size, the people who build this win big. And the math is on our side: we start local, but this market extends nationally, then internationally. This isn't a commodity. For roughly 7 or 8 out of every 10 restaurants, we cut costs by about 30%, putting over $100K a year back in the owner's pocket. A system that saves everyone money spreads fast.
You won't be employee #500. You'll be one of the people who built it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What You Will Own
Everything that moves. From day one, logistics is yours. Not a slice of it. All of it.
- The launch — this is your launch. Take your team from ready-to-launch to trucks on the road. Your plan, your call, your name on it.
- The playbook — we have a good plan. Your job is to take it from good to great— and that only happens one way: by doing the legwork yourself first. Run the routes, work the process, see what goes wrong, spot what can be made more efficient and earn the right to improve and finalize the SOPs, routing, dispatch processes, and driver standards, as you go.
- The scoreboard — build the KPIs you'll be measured on: on-time delivery, cold-chain compliance, cost per delivery, restaurants retained. Advisors can sharpen them. You build them.
- The upside — when we open city #2, it runs on your system. City #10, same. Every market we enter is your playbook working without you in the room — and your equity, title, and pay grow with every one of them.
We want to be clear: this is a field role. You'll drive the routes, work the warehouse at 6 AM, and know every restaurant by name before you ever manage anything from a screen. If you want an office and a calendar full of meetings, stop reading here.
With that said, you won't be building blind. You'll have direct access to advisors with experience running billion dollar companies and others with 10+ years in logistics. They'll pressure-test your SOPs, sharpen your KPIs, and share what they've learned the hard way.
But understand this clearly: advice is a bonus, not a crutch. They advise. You execute. If you're the type who waits for help before moving, this seat will crush you. We need someone who accepts help gladly and needs none of it to act.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who Will Thrive Here
We care more about hunger than years. This seat is ideal for someone who:
- Has run real operations — logistics, delivery, fulfillment, or foodservice — and is ready for the seat above the one they've been capped in
- Can make decisions with imperfect information, then stand behind them
- Is tired of watching their extra effort earn someone else's promotion
- Is used to doing things themselves because other’s often come up short
- Wants their pay, title, and equity tied to what they actually build
Experience in food distribution, cold-chain, last-mile delivery, or high-volume operations is a strong plus. A decade of titles is not required but proof of ownership is.
