Logistics Team Member

Food has lost its soul to modern convenience. And with it, it has lost the power to nourish, inspire, and connect us. So in 2018, CookUnity was founded as the first-of-its-kind platform that connects the world with the source of truly great food: chefs. Today, CookUnity delivers 50 million meals a year from the industry’s best chefs to homes all over the country. Fresh. Ready-to-eat. And crafted with the passion that nourishes body and soul. Unwilling to stop there, CookUnity is expanding beyond delivery to become an ever-innovating marketplace focused on our singular mission: empower Chefs to nourish the world. If that mission has you hungry in more ways than one, you’ve found the right job posting. The Logistics team member is responsible for helping drive a smooth, on-time handover from FFM to last mile each morning. This role starts the shift by reviewing prior-day logistics performance, monitoring real-time FFM capacity to proactively adjust driver pickup schedules, and ensuring every route is picked up, loaded, and dispatched on time. The Logistics team also resolves driver and route issues as they arise and coordinates closely with 3PL partners to guarantee full route coverage. Daily Metrics Review & Pickup Planning Start each shift by reviewing the previous day's logistics metrics, including FFM-to-last-mile handover timeliness and overall delivery delays (deliveries that exceeded the promised window). Review the supervisor count from the final hour of FFM operations to assess FFM capacity and anticipate its impact on last-mile handover. When FFM is behind schedule, adjust and push driver pickup times to account for the delay. When FFM is on track, review yesterday's delivery performance and fine-tune today's driver pickup times to help meet the delivery window. Logistics Service & Order Checks Check the Logistics Service to confirm all orders have been assigned. Review for any orders with integration errors and resolve or elevate as needed.

Help ensure the end-to-end handover process runs smoothly and on time from FFM to last mile. Troubleshoot driver issues in real time, including scanning problems, missing or damaged bags, and replacing damaged product. Identify and resolve route coverage gaps as they come up. 3PL Coordination Define pickup schedules for 3PL partners based on route distance and mileage. Coordinate with 3PL's on pickup times and driver changes. Manage 3PL no-shows by ensuring the affected route is covered or picked up by the 3PL. 1+ years of experience in logistics, warehouse, distribution, or a related operations role. Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to make real-time decisions under time pressure. Comfortable coordinating directly with third-party logistics (3PL) providers and drivers.
