Love to dine out? Love to plan two weeks out or 20 minutes until go time?
Yelp Restaurants' mission is to connect great local restaurants with their communities, and that’s where you come in. We are looking for a dynamic, high-energy Onboarding Restaurant Success Manager (RSM) to join our team.
In this role, you will be the face of Yelp for our newest restaurant partners. You will be responsible for the critical first 90 days of the customer journey—onboarding new clients onto our industry-leading product suite (Guest Manager, Connect, Ads, and Yelp Host), addressing their specific business goals, and ensuring long-term retention. You will manage a high-volume pipeline, acting as a consultant, trainer, and technical guide to help restaurants drive adoption and see immediate value from their investment.
What you'll do:
- Welcome new customers and lead them through a smooth implementation process from day one.
- Manage a pipeline of new accounts over a 60-day onboarding period, focusing on product usage, feature training, and delivering early "wins."
- Maintain engagement through the first 3 months of the customer lifecycle to ensure they are set up for long-term success and growth.
- Work with a diverse range of stakeholders—from small business owners and General Managers to Hosts and Webmasters.
- Consult with owners on social media and in-restaurant marketing strategies to increase diner awareness and traffic via the Yelp platform.
- Partner closely with our Sales and Product teams to ensure a smooth handoff for new customers and provide feedback on the user experience.
What it takes to succeed:
- 2+ years of experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or SaaS Sales (experience in the restaurant/hospitality industry is a major plus).
- Bachelor’s degree preferred, or equivalent professional experience.
- Comfortable learning new software quickly; experience with CRM tools (like Salesforce) is highly preferred.
- Proven track record of hitting targets/KPIs in a performance-driven environment.
- Ability to present complex technical information in a way that is easy for non-technical business owners to understand.
- Ability to effectively prioritize tasks and manage a high-volume pipeline within a fast-paced environment.
- Excellent customer service skills with the ability to understand a business's unique "pain points" and provide tailored solutions.
- Ability to overcome objections, handle difficult conversations, and effectively "re-sell" the value of our products during the onboarding phase.
- A "get stuff done" attitude with a bias toward action and proactive problem-solving.
- Outstanding written and verbal communication skills coupled with deep empathy for the challenges of the hospitality industry.
- You thrive in a high-growth environment and view change as an opportunity rather than a hurdle.
What you'll get:
- Effective your first day: Full medical, vision, and dental coverage
- Mental health support and services via Modern Health
- 15 days PTO (accrual begins on date of hire and increases with 2+ years of tenure thereafter), 7 paid wellness days, 12 paid holidays, plus one floating holiday
- Up to 14 weeks of parental leave
- Monthly wellness subsidy
- Flexible spending account
- 401(k) retirement savings plan
- Employee stock purchase plan
- Professional development reimbursement
- Work from home reimbursement
- Compensation base salary is $58,000-$94,000 annually

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Restaurant
Translate your Australian qualifications accurately
A three-year Australian hospitality or culinary degree is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year bachelor's. Get a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved service before applying so employers don't question your eligibility.
Target management-track restaurant roles specifically
Front-of-house manager, food and beverage director, and culinary operations roles are far more defensible as specialty occupations than line cook or server positions, which rarely meet the degree-required threshold USCIS applies.
Find E-3-ready employers through DOL LCA records
Search DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data for restaurants that have filed LCAs for E-3 visa or H-1B visa roles. Prior filings signal that the employer already understands the sponsorship process and has legal infrastructure in place.
Confirm the job description requires your degree field
An offer letter that says 'bachelor's preferred' rather than 'required in hospitality management or culinary arts' will create problems at your consulate interview. Ask the employer to revise the job description before the LCA is filed with DOL.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the LCA and paperwork
The LCA must be certified by DOL before you can schedule your consulate appointment. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork so nothing stalls between your offer date and your interview.
Prepare for consulate questions about specialty occupation
Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth consular officers regularly probe whether restaurant roles genuinely require a degree. Bring your offer letter, your employer's organisational chart showing where your role sits, and your academic transcripts to the interview.
E-3 Visa Restaurant: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find restaurant jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lists restaurant and hospitality roles from U.S. employers who are open to E-3 sponsorship, filtering out listings where sponsorship is unavailable. Searching there saves time compared to applying broadly and discovering late in the process that the employer won't file an LCA. Focus your search on management, director, and culinary specialist titles, which are most likely to satisfy the specialty occupation requirement.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Which restaurant roles qualify as specialty occupations for the E-3?
Roles that routinely qualify include food and beverage manager, restaurant general manager, culinary director, executive chef, and food scientist, provided the employer requires a bachelor's degree in a related field as a standard condition of employment. Entry-level cooking, service, or cashier roles do not qualify because they don't normally require a degree. If your title is ambiguous, the job description must make the degree requirement explicit.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for restaurant professionals?
The E-3 has a distinct practical advantage: there's no annual lottery. H-1B selection runs roughly 25 to 30 percent in recent years, meaning most applicants aren't chosen even with a qualifying offer. The E-3 allocates 10,500 visas annually exclusively for Australian citizens, and that cap has never been filled. If you're Australian and you have a qualifying offer, you can proceed directly to a consulate appointment rather than waiting for a lottery result.
Can my employer sponsor me on an E-3 if they've never done it before?
Yes. Many restaurants that have never filed an E-3 are still eligible to sponsor one. The employer needs to file a Labor Condition Application with DOL, pay the prevailing wage for the role and location, and sign the required employer attestations. The process is shorter and less expensive than H-1B sponsorship, which makes first-time sponsors more willing to proceed once they understand what's involved.
