    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

    Benefits:

    • Local deliveries!
    • Flexibility of schedule
