Job Description

Meals Now is a premier catering delivery company dedicated to providing white-glove delivery services to top national brands. Unlike typical gig apps that handle a variety of delivery types, Meals Now specializes exclusively in high-standard catering delivery, ensuring every order is delivered with professionalism, care, and precision. The company operates primarily in major urban markets, including San Francisco, CA, and focuses on delivering high-quality catering meals from premium restaurant partners to office buildings, hospitals, schools, and event venues. Meals Now drivers play a vital role as an extension of both the company and its clients, representing the brand with cleanliness, punctuality, and consistent service excellence.

As an Independent Contractor with Meals Now, you will engage in a unique delivery experience that prioritizes professionalism and client satisfaction above all else. This role specifically excludes fast food, grocery deliveries, or gig stacking, centering solely on catering food delivery. Importantly, drivers are expected to maintain a polished appearance and demonstrate a customer-centric approach, reflecting the premium nature of the brand you represent.

In this capacity, you will be responsible for the careful pickup and delivery of large catering orders, involving not only transit but also the setup of food at various venues. You will photograph setups to document quality and consistency, adhering strictly to client instructions. The opportunity offers competitive pay ranging approximately from $18 to $50 or more per delivery, with weekly payments processed via the Gigsafe platform, which supports next-day pay options. Additional incentives are provided for maintaining on-time streaks, achieving high tier levels, and delivering photo-quality that meets company standards.

This role requires a reliable vehicle, such as a car, van, or SUV, and the appropriate equipment, including a catering bag and cart, to ensure safe and secure transport. Availability during weekday morning and lunch shifts (typically 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.) is essential, as is comfort with setup duties and light lifting. The company values professionalism in appearance and behavior, expecting all drivers to avoid casual or inappropriate attire such as gym clothes, hoodies, or slides. Those who are dependable, communicative, and take pride in maintaining top-tier service standards will find this role especially rewarding. Meals Now works with a select group of high-performing drivers, emphasizing quality over quantity to deliver a superior client experience consistently.
