Customer Support Specialist

At Olo we develop an online food ordering platform used by many of the country's largest restaurant chains, reaching millions of consumers. Chances are if you've ordered directly from a restaurant brand's app or website, we've made that happen.

Olo is looking for two service-driven support enthusiasts to join our growing Support team as Customer Support Specialists, where you will play a crucial role within Olo's Customer Experience team by providing the first level of support for our restaurant customers and their franchisees. Olo's Support platform is available seven days a week 7:00am-12:00am ET, and our Support team operates during holidays with limited rotating staff, so working on holidays may also be required.

As a Customer Support Phone Specialist, you will assess and address phone calls with support requests that come into our Customer Support team while also working with our team to improve documentation and processes to decrease escalations. The primary shift time for this role will be 3pm-12am ET Tuesday through Saturday. 

As a Customer Support Email Specialist, you will assess and address online customer support tickets and occasional phone calls that come into our support queues while also working with the Customer Experience Team to improve documentation and processes to decrease escalations. The primary shift time for this role will be 3pm-12am ET Sunday through Thursday.

You will report to a Senior Customer Support Team Lead, and can work remotely from anywhere in the U.S. or at Olo's headquarters in NYC.


What You'll Do
  • Provide email and/or phone support to our customers during all phases of the Olo lifecycle as they adopt, use and manage Olo's products.
  • Liaise between the customer and Customer Experience team to provide clear and accurate troubleshooting solutions through our support management system, Zendesk, or over the phone.
  • Provide support in partnership with the wider Customer Experience team to diagnose, research, document, and resolve escalated issues.
  • Coordinate with the Customer Experience team to help draft and edit both internal and customer-facing documentation, including multimedia tutorials and webinars, with a goal to eliminate tickets and address customer questions without escalation.
  • Gain familiarity with Olo's platform and technical support practices and procedures  to be able to pinpoint when/where an issue occurred, and learn about Olo's developing product offerings as they relate to and could potentially solve recurring customer issues.
  • Provide feedback on internal processes and best practices to improve the customer experience and overall customer support flow.
  • Identify emerging trends in recent calls or emails to alert relevant teams of repeat problems, and support customer accounts to maintain favorable, long-term relationships.
  • Understand when issues are outside of the scope of our Support team and connect customers to the necessary internal team or third party.


  • What We'll Expect From You
  • 2+ years experience providing inbound customer phone/email support or equivalent hospitality-driven customer support with an emphasis on customer satisfaction, teamwork, and excellence in service.
  • Passion for solving customers' problems by using available resources, and the ability to come up with creative solutions while staying within scope.
  • A curiosity for investigating problems that may not have clearly documented resolution paths - we love solving a mystery!
  • An avid interest in both the restaurant and technology industry.
  • An attention to detail and ability to spot inconsistencies.
  • Experience working with detailed operational procedures and program guidelines.
  • While this is not a technical support role, it does require a level of technical proficiency and familiarity with various computers, devices, operating systems, browsers, etc.


  • Nice to Have
  • Experience working for a software, SaaS, or technology company. 
  • Experience using ticketing systems such as Zendesk to process and resolve support requests.
  • Experience using CRM tools such as Salesforce

    We encourage you to apply!

    We value diversity. At Olo, we know a diverse and inclusive team makes our workplace better. Don't meet every single qualification in the job description?
