Job Description

Meals Now is a premier catering delivery company renowned for its white-glove service and trusted partnerships with top national brands. Unlike typical gig apps, Meals Now emphasizes professionalism, high standards, and consistency, ensuring that their drivers act as an extension of the client’s brand. The company operates across various markets, including Santa Clarita, CA, and prides itself on delivering exceptional experiences through clean, punctual, and courteous service. As a catering delivery partner, Meals Now focuses exclusively on catering orders, avoiding fast food, groceries, or gig stacking, which aligns with its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

The role of a Catering Delivery Driver at Meals Now involves much more than just transportation. Drivers pick up large catering orders from premium restaurant partners and deliver and set up food in professional environments such as office buildings, hospitals, schools, and event venues. The job requires maintaining a professional appearance and demeanor at all times, embodying the brand’s reputation for excellence. Drivers must follow precise delivery instructions and take clean setup photos at drop-off to ensure every order meets the high standards expected by clients.

This independent contractor role offers a competitive pay range of $18 to $50 or more per order, with additional incentives for punctuality, on-time streaks, tier levels, and photo quality. Drivers receive weekly pay via Gig Safe with next-day payment options, emphasizing the company’s commitment to rewarding reliability and quality work. The position primarily requires availability during weekday morning and lunch shifts, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., with business hours extending from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. EST, Monday through Sunday, and peak activity on Tuesday through Friday.

To qualify, drivers must have a reliable vehicle such as a car, van, or SUV— bikes are not accepted in most markets. A catering bag and cart or the willingness to purchase these are also essential tools for this role. A valid driver’s license, insurance, and a smartphone with internet or data access are required. This role demands light lifting and setup capabilities, and candidates must project a professional appearance, avoiding casual or gym attire.

Meals Now seeks top-tier drivers who are dependable, communicative, and take pride in their work. As part of a limited group of high-performing partners in each market, these drivers uphold the highest standards of service and professionalism. Joining Meals Now means becoming part of a dedicated team that values quality, precision, and respect in every delivery. If you are looking for a responsible, well-compensated delivery position with a focus on premium catering, Meals Now provides an exceptional opportunity to grow and excel in a niche delivery environment.
