The Catering Delivery Driver role at Meals Now is a unique opportunity for dependable drivers seeking flexible weekday morning and lunch shift work, specifically between 8:00 AM and 11:00 PM EST. Drivers are tasked with handling large catering orders, picking them up from prestigious restaurant partners and delivering them to offices, hospitals, schools, and various event venues. Beyond transportation, the role requires setting up the catered food with precision and care, reflecting the company's commitment to a white-glove service experience. Drivers must also take clear, clean setup photos at delivery points, demonstrating attention to detail and accountability. The role requires a high level of professionalism with a strict dress code that excludes casual gym attire, hoodies, or slides, ensuring drivers maintain a polished appearance that aligns with the brand’s image. Additionally, drivers must be comfortable with light lifting and somewhat physical setup responsibilities, an essential aspect of catering delivery.

Drivers are required to use their own reliable vehicle, which can be a car, van, or SUV, but bikes are not permitted in most markets. Essential tools for the role include a catering bag and a cart, which drivers must either own or be willing to purchase. A valid driver's license and insurance, along with a smartphone with internet or data access, are mandatory requirements for successful delivery operations. Meals Now’s selective approach to driver recruitment focuses on working with a small, high-performing group in each market, underscoring the company’s emphasis on dependability, effective communication, and pride in delivery quality.
