Full Description

As a Delivery Driver for Insomnia Cookies in Dinkytown, you'll play a vital role in bringing joy to late-night cravings by delivering our famous warm cookies directly to customers' doors. This position is essential to our mission of spreading happiness one cookie at a time, ensuring every order arrives hot and fresh to delight our loyal fans and grow our community presence in the vibrant University of Minnesota area. Your day-to-day responsibilities will keep you on the move in an exciting, fast-paced environment. You'll receive customer orders through our app or dispatch system, carefully pack them in insulated bags to maintain freshness, and navigate Dinkytown's busy streets using your personal vehicle to complete timely deliveries. Expect to handle 20-50 deliveries per shift, tracking each one via GPS for accuracy and efficiency, while interacting positively with customers at drop-offs to enhance their experience. Weekly, you'll participate in team huddles to review performance metrics like on-time delivery rates above 95% and customer satisfaction scores, collaborating with store bakers and managers to optimize routes during peak hours from 8 PM to 3 AM. Monthly tasks include vehicle maintenance logs, inventory checks for delivery supplies, and contributing to sales goals by upselling add-ons during interactions. You'll report directly to the shift lead, ensuring seamless coordination with the kitchen team to prioritize urgent orders, and use our proprietary delivery software for real-time updates and proof of delivery photos. To succeed in this role, you'll need a valid driver's license with a clean driving record, at least one year of professional driving experience in urban settings, and your own reliable car, truck, or SUV—no motorcycles or rentals accepted. A high school diploma or equivalent is required, along with familiarity with smartphone navigation apps like Google Maps or Waze. Basic math skills for handling cash tips and change are essential, and you must be at least 18 years old with the ability to lift up to 50 pounds of cookie orders. Knowledge of local Dinkytown traffic patterns and food safety basics is a plus, though full training is provided. Beyond technical know-how, you'll thrive with strong time management to juggle multiple deliveries without delays, excellent customer service skills for friendly interactions even on hectic nights, and physical stamina for walking up stairs in apartment buildings. Adaptability to varying weather conditions and peak-time rushes, along with a safety-first mindset to follow all traffic laws, will set you apart. Team players who communicate effectively via radio or app with dispatch excel here. Insomnia Cookies is a beloved late-night bakery chain founded in 2003, famous for gourmet cookies delivered hot from the oven until 3 AM. Our Dinkytown store serves the University community with a fun, energetic culture that values creativity, teamwork, and customer obsession. With a flat structure, drivers work closely with bakers and managers in a supportive environment that celebrates milestones like perfect delivery streaks. Compensation is competitive starting at $15-$20 per hour based on experience, plus tips averaging $5-$10 per hour and mileage reimbursement at IRS rates. While salary details are not specified beyond this, we offer flexible part-time schedules around classes or other jobs, paid training, and employee discounts on cookies. Health insurance eligibility after 30 days for qualifying hours, plus accrual of paid time off and opportunities for performance bonuses. Advance your career from driver to shift lead or store manager with proven performance, accessing ongoing training in leadership and operations.
