As a Soft serve ice cream driver my job required me to create routes in specific areas. I am sent to a city and specific neighborhoods and it is my job to create a route that is busy and profitable. The job requires you to have great visual memory, timing (showing up to your regular customers on their street withing the same time frame as you always do so they know when to expect you) you have to make adjustments on your own and really figure out how to keep increasing sales. I was also apart of doing a lot of private and corporate events. Being respectful, helpful, fast and attentive was a must
