"As Delivery Service Partners, we independently manage hiring, organizational structure, and daily operations. We offer competitive pay and provide benefits packages that meet requirements set by the federal and state governments. In fact, some Delivery Service Partners work with additional companies besides Amazon. For my business in particular, DashWave is a part of Amazon's Walker' program, with delivery associates traveling routes on foot throughout Manhattan. Delivering packages on foot cuts down on congestion and allows people without a driver's license to work for us."
"They've never met our teams of fellow New Yorkers who deliver your packages, nor considered how we serve our communities daily or what would happen if these programs disappeared. For me and my dad, launching DashWave fulfilled our shared entrepreneurial ambition while holding special significance as my father recovered from lymphoma. As he often says, This business gives me a reason to get up each morning. It is our livelihood."
DashWave Delivery was founded in 2023 by Kris and his father Jerard to partner with Amazon and deliver packages across Manhattan. The business operates as a Delivery Service Partner, independently managing hiring, organizational structure, and daily operations while offering competitive pay and benefits that meet federal and state requirements. DashWave participates in Amazon's Walker program, running foot delivery routes to reduce congestion and employ people without driver's licenses. The company grew from 15 to over 100 employees, prioritizes local hiring (approximately 90% from New York City), and maintains operational insight by having leadership join delivery routes monthly.
