Anthony Bransford

Ops and Growth Partner with 8+ years in restaurant tech, delivery platforms, and marketplaces. I've done a bit of everything: managing accounts, running ops, building processes, setting strategy. I like being the person who can talk to customers and also go build the system that fixes the challenges they're facing. Right now, I'm an Account Manager at Uber handling a "Hero" book of ~65 high-value restaurant partners across the Midwest, focused on retention, ad spend, promos, and keeping our biggest accounts growing. As the fifth hire in Ritual's Chicago office, I helped grow the Midwest region from 0 to $32MM ARR, doing everything from early strategy to execution as we scaled. At Captain, I worked directly on the strategy and execution behind scaling the platform from an early 15-restaurant pilot to 800+ restaurant operators across the country, helping formalize onboarding and expansion processes as we grew. Across all of it, I've gotten good at understanding how a business makes money and building the systems that help it grow. I'm open on what's next, whether it's customer-facing, ops, or strategy work. I mostly care about doing something interesting with a team solving real problems.
