The company offers a comprehensive turnkey waffle program designed to support businesses with a range of products including mixes, toppings, flavorings, and waffle iron equipment along with related maintenance services. This extensive program is delivered to more than 40,000 customer locations throughout North America and globally, servicing sectors such as leading restaurants, hotels, colleges, corporate environments, and popular theme parks.
Golden Waffles prides itself on being a complete B2B2C solution provider within the waffle category.

Employing approximately 270 associates, including a route delivery team of around 115 members geographically dispersed across the region, Golden Waffles operates over 80 distribution centers throughout the U.S. It also maintains a waffle iron manufacturing and refurbishment center in South Bend, Indiana to guarantee prompt product distribution and reliable equipment servicing.
The role of Route Sales Representative at Golden Waffles is integral to the company’s growth and customer satisfaction. As the face of Golden Waffles, this position involves delivering high-quality waffle products directly to valued customers while fostering and maintaining strong relationships with them.
