Customer Support Representative - Bilingual (English/French)
$19.00/hr + Benefits + Free RTD EcoPass + 4 weeks PTO!
OpenTable is creating a new Customer Support team - come join us and be part of the excitement! The most important thing you can bring to this role is a passion for helping people. Your goal is NOT to get the customer off the phone as fast as possible (unless that's what the customer wants). We expect you to go out of your way to not only fix the problem, but have the customer finish the conversation with a smile and with restored faith in OpenTable. You will be supporting both restaurants and diners so there is no script that can accomplish this - our customer base is diverse so you'll need to be able to adapt to their various styles accordingly. You will become our best marketing tool, and will help foster a prosperous relationship with both our restaurants and diners.
