Lunch Coordinator - Delivery Driver

About the Company:

At Yay, lunch is our favorite subject. Yay is out to fundamentally change K-12 school food for the better. We believe that every student should have the opportunity to enjoy a freshly made, wholesome meal they'll love while at school, and that parents should trust that their child feels cared for and nourished.

Founded by parents for parents in 2018, we have expanded and evolved, now serving multiple markets from Chicago to Connecticut and down the East Coast. We have exciting plans and we can't wait to bring our mission to more schools.

We'd love to have you on the team! As a startup, we hustle with heart. We're team players and self-starters. We want you to love what you do, and we give you the tools to succeed with our commitment to flexibility, transparency, respect, empowerment, and positivity. Come join us!

About the Position:

As a Lunch Coordinator, you will play a vital role in ensuring that kids receive the meals they need, delivered with care and a smile. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys interacting with children, takes pride in being reliable, and thrives in a customer-focused, energetic environment.

What You'll Do:

• Deliver joy – Bring fresh, healthy lunches to schools and ensure a smooth handoff to students and staff.
• Be the friendly face – Provide excellent customer service and create a positive lunchtime experience.
• Stay organized & accountable – Manage daily meal service and deliveries with efficiency and professionalism, ensuring meals are distributed in a timely manner and lunchers are assisted during the check out process.
• Uphold our values – Show up with a positive attitude, communicate with transparency, and take ownership of your role.

What This Job is NOT:

Just another food delivery job – This is not a gig where you simply drop off food to random doorsteps and move on. You are an essential part of the school community, ensuring kids receive their meals with care, reliability, and a smile.

A job with no purpose – This isn't just about transporting meals—it's about making a real impact. You'll play a key role in making sure kids have access to healthy food, helping create a positive lunchtime experience that fosters connection, nourishment, and joy.

A solo, isolated job – While you'll be independent in your daily tasks, you're also part of a mission-driven team that values communication, collaboration, and support. You'll have direct contact with our Yay team and the schools you serve, ensuring you're always supported.

What This Job IS:

✔ A mission-driven role where you help make school lunches healthier and more enjoyable.

• Availability for 2-4 hours per day (typically between 9:30 AM - 1:30 PM), Monday through Friday

Requirements:

Compensation:

$20.00 per hour + mileage reimbursement 

This is more than just a job—it's a chance to bring healthy meals and smiles to kids every day. If this sounds like you, apply now and help us change school food for the better!
