Job Description

Meals Now is a premium catering delivery company based in Memphis, Tennessee, specializing in high-standard delivery services for top national brands. Unlike typical gig economy delivery apps, Meals Now focuses exclusively on catering orders, providing a white-glove experience that ensures professionalism, reliability, and consistency. The company prides itself on being an extension of its clients' brands, with drivers who embody cleanliness, punctuality, and courteous behavior. This unique approach sets Meals Now apart in the competitive delivery market by delivering not only meals but also a high level of service that reflects the prestige of their restaurant partners and corporate clients.

Meals Now operates as an independent contractor platform, offering flexible engagement for delivery partners who want to work in a focused, specialized environment. Catering delivery partners are tasked with handling large, high-value orders from premium restaurants, delivering them to locations such as office buildings, hospitals, schools, and event venues. Professionalism is paramount; drivers are expected to maintain a polished appearance and adhere strictly to guidelines for delivery setup and customer interaction. The role excludes traditional fast food, grocery, or multi-gig delivery, allowing partners to concentrate solely on catering, which demands precision and care.

The position offers a competitive pay scale ranging from $18 to $50 or more per order, plus additional incentives based on performance metrics such as on-time deliveries, tier levels, and photo quality of setup completions. Weekly payments are made promptly via the Gig Safe platform, with next-day payment options providing financial flexibility. Catering delivery partners at Meals Now must have a vehicle suitable for the job—such as a car, van, or SUV—and be available for weekday morning and lunch shifts primarily between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. The company operates from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. EST, seven days a week, with peak activity occurring Tuesday through Friday.

The role also involves a small amount of physical activity, including lifting and setting up food displays, which requires a willingness to use catering bags, carts, and maintain high hygiene standards. Beyond transportation, the drivers contribute significantly to client satisfaction by delivering clean setup photos and adhering to specified delivery instructions to guarantee a flawless end customer experience. Meals Now is selective in its driver recruitment, seeking motivated, dependable, and communicative professionals who take pride in upholding the company’s brand and reputations. This opportunity is ideal for individuals who want to be part of a specialized delivery team focused on excellence and top-tier service in the catering industry.
