Job description

Catering Delivery Driver — The Logistical Backbone of NYC Event Operations

Every event starts with a delivery that arrives on time, intact, and ready to go. Green Apple Catering & Events moves thousands of meals across New York City every week — from Midtown boardrooms to Brooklyn rooftops to Queens conference centers. We need a reliable, route-savvy Driver who understands that in this business, timing isn't a suggestion. It's everything.

Navigating NYC Streets to Keep Events Running on Schedule

As a Driver for Green Apple, you'll transport food, beverages, and event equipment to locations across all five boroughs and the surrounding metro area. This isn't a standard delivery job — you'll be handling premium catering for corporate clients, government agencies, and private events. Every delivery represents the Green Apple brand, and your professionalism matters as much as your punctuality.

• Load, transport, and unload catering orders, beverages, and event equipment
• Plan efficient routes across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island
• Ensure food safety and temperature integrity during transport
• Communicate with the operations team regarding delivery status and timing
• Assist with basic event setup when needed at delivery locations
• Maintain the cleanliness and mechanical readiness of delivery vehicles
• Handle last-minute route changes and time-critical additions with composure

Qualifications for This Position

• Valid New York State driver's license with a clean driving record
• Strong knowledge of NYC streets, bridges, tunnels, and traffic patterns
• Ability to lift 50+ pounds repeatedly throughout a shift
• Reliability and punctuality — early is on time in catering logistics
• Professional demeanor when interacting with clients and venue staff
• Experience with box trucks or large delivery vehicles is a plus

A Fleet That Serves New York's Most Demanding Clients

Green Apple has been delivering catering across New York City since 2004. Our operations are DOHMH licensed and HACCP certified, which means food safety standards extend from the kitchen to the delivery vehicle. You'll be part of a logistics team that supports events for clients like Amazon, Cartier, and Morgan Stanley — companies that expect precision at every touchpoint, including the delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of vehicle will I be driving?

Green Apple's fleet includes box trucks and cargo vans used to transport catering orders and event equipment. The specific vehicle depends on the size of the delivery. A standard driver's license covers most vehicles in our fleet.

Do I need a CDL or special license?

A CDL is not required for most deliveries. A valid New York State driver's license with a clean record is sufficient. Experience driving box trucks or large vehicles in NYC traffic is preferred but not mandatory.

Will I be making multiple deliveries per shift?

Yes. Depending on the day's event schedule, you may handle multiple deliveries across different boroughs in a single shift. Our operations team coordinates routes to maximize efficiency, but flexibility is essential.

Is this an early-morning or evening position?

Shift times vary based on the event schedule. Many corporate deliveries happen early morning for breakfast and lunch service, while social and evening events may require afternoon or evening shifts. Flexibility with scheduling is important for this role.
