Delivery Worker (School Lunch Center)
はいそういん（きゅうしょくセンター）
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that delivers school lunches along predetermined routes from school lunch centers to schools, hospitals, welfare facilities, and others.
Description
Delivery workers (school lunch centers) load food prepared and packaged at school lunch centers onto dedicated vehicles such as trucks and transport and deliver them to schools, hospitals, and welfare facilities. They thoroughly manage temperature and deliver and install at times designated for each facility. After delivery, they collect delivery slips, wash the vehicle, prepare for the next load, and never neglect hygiene and safety checks. Since it is route delivery, geographical knowledge and time management are important, and communication and coordination with the center and facilities are also required.
Future Outlook
With the stable increase in school lunch demand accompanying the declining birthrate and aging population, and ongoing labor shortages, job openings for delivery workers are expected to remain stable. While business improvements through logistics efficiency, introduction of electric vehicles, route optimization, and more will advance, the demand for on-site human delivery remains high.
