- Communicate professionally with school staff during deliveries
- Report delays, issues, or discrepancies to dispatch or management
- Follow all food safety and vehicle safety procedures
- Maintain cleanliness and organization of delivery vehicle
- Support loading, unloading, and occasional additional operational tasks
What You Bring
