Overview
Joy Vending is growing fast across Southern California. We’re looking for a reliable, detail-oriented Route Driver to handle, on-site restocking at client locations, simple vending-machine troubleshooting, and friendly communication with site contacts. You’ll follow a daily plan, keep machines full and clean, surface customer feedback, and spot small issues before they become big problems.
Responsibilities
- Execute the daily route plan on time: restock assigned locations, keep shelves organized to planogram, rotate stock (FIFO), and minimize stock-outs.
- At each stop: refill beverages/snacks, wipe down machines, check temps/expiration dates, test vends, and upload quick photos/notes in the app.
- Light troubleshooting: clear jammed spirals, power-cycle, reseat/clean bill & coin acceptors, verify/change prices as instructed, update basic signage.
- Record everything in the mobile app: quantities loaded/removed, returns/expired items, issues and resolutions; open/close service tickets and escalate when needed.
- Communicate with site contacts professionally; gather user requests, spot upsell opportunities, and suggest SKU improvements based on what you see.
- Notice the details: unusual error codes, repeat mis-vends, slow movers, damage/theft risks, cleanliness/branding issues—and report them promptly.
- Drive safely and maintain a tidy, organized vehicle; follow company safety, food-handling, and cashless/cash procedures.
Qualifications
- Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record; strong safety awareness and dependable time management.
- Physical ability to repeatedly lift and carry up to ~50 lbs (cases of drinks) and to use dollies/hand trucks for heavier items.
- Tech-curious and adaptable—willing to learn new tools and different vending machine models (e.g., smart/image-recognition machines, standard snack/beverage, coolers).
- Basic mechanical aptitude for simple fixes and following quick-start guides.
- Solid communication and customer-service skills; comfortable talking with facility staff and end users.
- Comfortable using smartphones/tablets (photos, notes, checklists) and basic spreadsheets.
