The role of Catering Delivery Driver at Meals Now involves the careful handling and delivery of large catering orders sourced from premium restaurant partners. Drivers will be responsible for not only delivering food but also setting it up at various venues including office buildings, hospitals, schools, and event spaces.

Additional incentives reward drivers for on-time streaks, tier levels, and photo quality, encouraging consistent, high-quality performance.

Candidates must bring their own vehicle — a car, van, or SUV — and possess the necessary personal equipment like a catering bag and cart or have the willingness to purchase such items. The position demands valid driver’s license and insurance, as well as a smartphone with a reliable internet connection to facilitate smooth order tracking and communication. Flexibility to work during weekday morning and lunch shifts from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM is essential, with overall business hours spanning 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM EST from Monday through Sunday, and peak activity occurring Tuesday through Friday.

This role also requires physical capability to handle light lifting and manage setup tasks efficiently. A professional appearance is mandatory; casual clothing such as gym wear, hoodies, or slides is prohibited. Meals Now seeks dependable, communicative, and proud drivers who value delivering impeccable service. The company maintains a selective driver roster, focusing on a limited group of top-tier performers in each market to ensure quality and reliability.
