Independent Operator (IO) Opportunities in various States!

This is a 1099 Contractor (Owner Operator) Opportunity: Be your OWN BOSS!

At Ole, our mission is to produce the finest Authentic Mexican inspired products with an unwavering commitment to quality and freshness. We believe that holding a seat at your dinner table is the ultimate compliment, and we strive to help families create wholesome, fun, and authentic eating experiences.

We are looking for reliable, self-directed Owner Operators to own routes end-to-end — deliveries, in-store merchandising, warehouse operations, and inventory management.

This role operates independently. After an initial ramp-up period, you will run the route without day-to-day oversight. The right candidate takes pride in doing things right and doesn't need to be managed to do so.

What You’ll do:

• In-store merchandising to ensure shelves are stocked, rotated, and properly presented
• Warehouse duties including loading, unloading, and inventory organization
• Order entry, sales recording, and credit writing using a Zebra handheld device
• Ongoing monitoring of prior sales data and upcoming promotions to optimize store-level inventory

Compensation

• 1099 Opportunity, paid as performance-based margin
• Margin is calculated on net sales; a well-run route with minimal stales and returns keeps earnings consistently in this range
• Tortillas are a household staple — this route is recession-proof and earnings adjust automatically with inflation as product prices move

What We’re Looking For

• Self-directed and dependable — capable of owning a route without daily direction
• Detail-oriented, with strong follow-through on inventory, merchandising standards, and data entry
• Prior DSD, grocery, or food route experience is a plus, but not required

What We Offer

• Full autonomy after ramp-up
• An established customer base with no cold selling
• Early morning schedule with early afternoon finish times
• For the right candidate, future opportunity to invest in or take on additional routes
