OCS Route Sales Representative

Make Every Stop Count as an OCS Route Sales Representative

Picture your day starting at 7:00 a.m. You load your truck, confirm your route relief assignments, and head out to keep coffee and tea stations humming for workplaces across your territory. By 3:30 p.m. (with overtime as needed), you've delivered product, ensured equipment is spotless and working, and helped customers stay in stock—while uncovering new sales opportunities along the way.

What You’ll Do

• Provide route relief and exceptional service, ensuring every scheduled customer receives timely delivery and support.
• Deliver, replenish, and rotate coffee, tea, and related supplies; keep beverage stations set to standard at each stop.
• Keep equipment clean and functional; complete at least one CQC (Cup Quality Check) daily.
• Escalate issues quickly to the Area Sales Manager (ASM) to resolve concerns and protect customer satisfaction.
• Own daily invoices, on-hand inventory, and collections when you’re on a route.
• Grow Revenue per Stop by filling distribution gaps on core items, running seasonal and LTO promotions, executing pricing actions, and maintaining perfect station standards.

• Support inventory cycle counts, warehouse tasks, and customer-related projects as assigned.
• Learn brewing equipment fundamentals to make basic adjustments and minor repairs.
