Job Description

Cozzini Bros. has established itself as the premier knife rental and sharpening service provider in the United States, with a rich history that dates back to 1905. Originating as a family-owned business in Chicago, Cozzini Bros. has evolved over more than a century to become the trusted partner for over 100,000 restaurants and commercial kitchens nationwide. The company specializes in supplying Cozzini-engineered knives and blades, which are exchanged biweekly to maintain optimal sharpness and efficiency in busy commercial kitchen environments. This consistent exchange service ensures that kitchen operations run safely, smoothly, and with the highest standards of quality and consistency.

As a company grounded in values such as Safety, Service, Trust, Team, Continuous Improvement, and Integrity, Cozzini Bros. prides itself on delivering not just products but solutions that enhance the overall performance and safety of kitchen operations across America. With its long-standing reputation and customer-centric approach, Cozzini Bros. is not just a service provider but a vital contributor to the culinary industry’s success.

The role offered is based in Buffalo, NY, and presents an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking stable, reliable employment with a strong company known for its commitment to quality and service. This position is unique in that it offers a Monday-to-Thursday schedule with 10-hour shifts, allowing employees to enjoy three-day weekends each week, promoting a healthy work-life balance.

In this delivery driver and service role, you will operate a small sprinter or transit van with no commercial driving license (CDL) required. This is a light-duty delivery position wherein the employee is responsible for delivering and exchanging cutlery and kitchen blades on various food service equipment, including can openers, deli slicers, and food processors. The job involves direct interaction with national and local restaurants, food service providers, and grocery customers, ensuring the seamless rotation of knives and blades that are critical to kitchen efficiency.

Besides delivery duties, the role requires promoting company programs and promotional items, handling invoice payments through multiple methods (cash, card, check, etc.), and maintaining accurate records via handheld devices for effective tracking of customer knife sets. A safety-oriented mindset is essential given the responsibility to drive company vehicles responsibly while adhering to physical demands like lifting, loading, and unloading light deliveries.

Cozzini Bros. promotes a collaborative team environment, recognized for its supportive spirit where every employee's contribution counts. With competitive pay and incentives, comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability coverage, a 401(k) plan with company match, paid holidays, and vacation, the company invests heavily in employee well-being and growth. Additionally, opportunities for career advancement exist within this rapidly growing organization.

Joining Cozzini Bros. means becoming part of a stable and growing company dedicated to optimizing commercial kitchen operations through superior products and service. This is an ideal position for dependable professionals who thrive in a fast-paced environment, possess excellent communication skills, and prioritize customer service. If you are seeking a role that balances physical activity with interpersonal engagement and offers rewarding benefits and a positive company culture, this opportunity in Buffalo, NY, could be the perfect fit.
