Service Officer

What This Role Actually Is

• The TSO is TheOtherWife's boots on the ground. They own their Local Zone Area completely: every chef in it, every customer in it, every order that moves through it, and every delivery that gets made within it.
• When a zone works well, it is because the TSO made it work. When it underperforms, the TSO is the first conversation. This is a relationship role disguised as an operations role.
• The most effective TSOs will be people who are known in their community, who people trust, and who can walk into a home kitchen and in ten minutes convince a talented cook that TheOtherWife is the platform that will change their financial life.

Key Responsibilities
HomeChef Recruitment and Onboarding (Target: 50 per month):

• Identify home cooks in the LZA who are already cooking and selling informally, on WhatsApp, Instagram, or within their community.
• Personally approach and pitch at least 60 HomeChef candidates per month to onboard 50 verified ones (accounting for drop-off).
• Walk each new HomeChef through the TOW app on-site: account setup, profile completion, menu listing, and order flow walkthrough.
• Ensure every HomeChef has a minimum of 3 active menu items before the account is marked active.
• Coordinate with the verification team to complete food safety requirements for each new HomeChef within 5 working days of sign-up.
• Maintain a live LZA HomeChef register: active, inactive, pending, and churned. Updated every Monday.

Order Volume and Customer Activation (Target: 500 orders per week):

• Drive customer registrations in the LZA: minimum 200 new customer sign-ups per month.
• Run localised awareness activities: market days, estate visits, office outreach, church and mosque announcements, community events.
• Distribute TOW materials (flyers, QR codes, chef cards) at every high-traffic point in the LZA.
• Follow up personally with customers who registered but have not placed their first order.
• Monitor daily order count for the LZA and flag to operations if the weekly pace is behind target by Wednesday.

Delivery Monitoring and Logistics:

• Monitor every order in the LZA from confirmation through to delivery or pickup completion.
• Ensure delivery SLA is met: meals arrive within the committed time window from order confirmation.
• Build and maintain relationships with local riders, dispatch companies, or individual delivery personnel within the LZA.
• For any area without current logistics coverage, identify a solution and escalate to operations within 48 hours.
• Escalate any at-risk order (delayed, no rider, HomeChef unresponsive) within 15 minutes of identifying the issue.
• Check that HomeChefs are using proper food packaging and flag hygiene or packaging issues immediately.

LZA Expansion and Network Growth:

• Map all streets, estates, office clusters, and residential areas in the LZA. Track which sub-areas have been activated and which have not.
• Present a monthly activation plan for any unactivated sub-areas in the LZA to the operations team. • Identify local ingredient suppliers, market traders, or farms who could supply TOW partner HomeChefs at better rates.
• When LZA order volume consistently exceeds 750 per week, flag to operations that zone expansion and an additional TSO is required.

Reporting

• Submit a weekly LZA report every Monday: active chef count, new sign-ups, weekly orders completed, delivery issues, customer complaints, and sub-area activation progress.
• Attend the monthly TSO review call with the operations lead.
• Flag any HomeChef with 3 or more consecutive order rejections, late deliveries, or poor ratings within 48 hours.
• Share the weekly order log with the ARO team for reconciliation every Friday.
