Warehouse Supervisor

Food has lost its soul to modern convenience. And with it, it has lost the power to nourish, inspire, and connect us. So in 2018, Cook Unity was founded as the first-of-its-kind platform that connects the world with the source of truly great food: chefs. Today, Cook Unity delivers 50 million meals a year from the industry’s best chefs to homes all over the country.

Fresh. Ready-to-eat. And crafted with the passion that nourishes body and soul.

Unwilling to stop there, Cook Unity is expanding beyond delivery to become an ever-innovating marketplace focused on our singular mission:
empower Chefs to nourish the world.

If that mission has you hungry in more ways than one, you’ve found the right job posting.

We’re continuously building our team in Chicago to help us become more efficient, faster, and more reliable for our customers. We’re looking for a hard-working, passionate supervisor who values transparency, communication, and collaboration. We are always learning and growing, if this sounds like an environment where you would thrive, we’d love to hear from you!
