ChowNow

ChowNow

Accounting & Finance, Operations
Victoria, BC, Canada
CAD 28.5-32.5 / hour + Equity
Posted on Jan 15, 2026
About Us:
ChowNow is one of the leading players in off-premise restaurant technology. As takeout becomes a vital revenue stream for independent restaurants, our platform helps owners focus on what they do best—serving great food—by offering solutions across the entire digital dining experience. From building branded websites and mobile apps, to powering online orders, managing menus, consolidating delivery, and running targeted marketing, we give restaurants the tools to grow on their own terms.
We support over 20,000 restaurants across North America, helping process $1B+ in gross food sales while saving our partners over $700M in third-party commission fees. Through our white-label ordering solutions, a growing demand network (including Google, Yelp, Apple, and Snap), and a diner-friendly marketplace, we empower independent restaurants to own their customer relationships and avoid inflated pricing and fees charged by 3rd party delivery apps like Uber and Doordash.
Founded in 2012, we’ve navigated rapid growth and transformation—from startup roots through the pandemic boom—and are now beginning an exciting new era under our CEO, Kanika Soni. As we evolve with new leadership and cutting-edge tools, we’re deepening our commitment to helping local restaurants thrive in the digital economy.
About the Position:
We’re looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Financial Operations Specialist to join our Canada-based team full-time. This role will serve as the primary finance resource for our Canadian subsidiary, supporting a wide range of accounting, billing, and operational functions. You’ll work closely with our U.S based Finance and HR teams while taking ownership of key processes locally — from AP and customer billing to office management and tax compliance. This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a hands-on, fast-moving environment and enjoys building structure in a growing organization.
This role reports directly to a leader in Accounting. No direct reports.
Please note: There is a 2 days a week in office requirement for this role and the recruiting team will confirm location and ability to commute before moving past initial stages.
WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT YOU:
You put restaurants first. You deeply understand the importance of local restaurants and put them at the center of everything you do. You aim to help them not only survive but thrive.
You celebrate diversity. You recognize that diversity and inclusivity matter. You’re committed to progress, which means everyone gets the support and resources they need, no matter who they are. You have an ability to listen to other team members' ideas and can thrive in an environment that embraces individuality. Everyone’s voice counts.
You raise your hand. You consistently go above and beyond what is asked of you. You help your peers accomplish their tasks while also excelling at accomplishing your own. When you have a smart idea, you raise your hand and share it.
You keep reaching. You set clear ambitious goals. You don’t allow yourself to become complacent with where you’re at and what you’ve done, so you seek out new opportunities and challenges.
