Deliveries typically take 30 minutes and are most frequent between 9 AM and 2 PM, though routes are available from 6 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week.

  • Excellent attention to detail and ability to follow directions

If onboarded, you must provide your own delivery equipment, including catering bags (23x13x15) and a collapsible cart, wagon, or hand truck. These items are required to meet client standards.

Responsibilities
  • Pick up and deliver food or other items promptly and professionally
  • Transport orders safely and maintain quality during delivery
  • Set up orders at customer locations when requested (light setup only)
  • Accept deliveries across a range of pay levels
  • Represent The RedWagon Delivers with professionalism in appearance and attitude
