• Partner with chefs and managers to solve problems and inspire new menu ideas

• Take orders, track deliveries, and ensure customers are thrilled with our service

• Collaborate with our product specialists to bring fresh ideas and tasty samples

If you love selling, creating solutions, and making people's day , you'll fit right in.

• Proven track record in sales (bonus points for food service experience)

• Drivers license + clean driving record

• Background in sales, food service management, or hospitality

• Self-motivated with killer organization skills

• Strong communicator with a "let's win this" attitude

• Former chefs, kitchen managers, and servers - your industry know-how is gold here!

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) with company match

• Life & short-term disability insurance

• Employee discounts

• Paid holidays + PTO

• Supportive team and a company that's been thriving since 1878

We're more than a food distributor - we're a partner in our customers' success. From fresh produce and dairy to paper goods, equipment, and specialty products, we've been serving up quality for over 145 years. As a family-owned business, we believe in treating our employees like family, too.
