Open Positions

Food and Beverage Stylist

Contract | Project-Based | Per-Event

 

Overview:

Around the Table is seeking a Food and Beverage Stylist to help shape the visual and sensory experience of our gatherings. This role focuses on how food and drink are presented in real life—at the table, at the bar, and in shared moments—not just how they photograph.

​

The Food and Beverage Stylist collaborates with chefs, hosts, and the creative team to translate a feeling into an edible experience. This is visual storytelling for guests first, with photography and press as a secondary consideration; not the primary objective.

What You'll Do:

  • Style food and beverages for live guest experiences, including dinners, tastings, events, and intimate gatherings

  • Shape tablescapes, bar setups, and serving moments that feel intentional, warm, and aligned with the Around the Table ethos

  • Collaborate with chefs to explore how new dishes are presented, particularly shared formats such as charcuterie boards, grazing spreads, and composed tables

  • Help refine presentation standards and formats—how items arrive at the table, how guests interact with them, and how they evolve throughout an experience

  • Make thoughtful decisions around vessels, boards, layering, spacing, flow, and pacing

  • Adapt styling to different environments, seasons, group sizes, and event formats

  • Occasionally support food and beverage presentation for photography, press, or website needs (secondary focus)

 

What This Role Is Not:

  • Not a line cook or kitchen staff role

  • Not recipe or menu development

  • Not high-volume catering or production work

  • Not food influencer or content-creation focused

 

This role sits at the intersection of hospitality, aesthetics, and human connection.

​

Who You Are:

  • You have a strong visual sensibility and understand restraint as a creative tool

  • You think in terms of mood, texture, scale, and guest interaction, not just plating

  • You have experience presenting food in shared, experiential formats (charcuterie, grazing boards, communal tables, etc.)

  • You understand how people gather, linger, and move around food and drink

  • You’re collaborative, observant, and comfortable working alongside chefs and hosts

  • You’re detail-oriented without being precious or performative

  • You appreciate seasonal, grounded, human-centered experiences

​

Experience in food styling, hospitality, events, or related creative fields is welcome; but taste, judgment, and intuition matter more than titles.

​

How This Role Works:

  • Contract / project-based

  • Part-time / per-event

  • Collaborative, not hierarchical

  • Paid per project, per day, or per experience (not hourly kitchen labor)

  • Scheduling and scope vary based on event needs

​

Why This Role Matters:

​​

At Around the Table, food isn’t just served—it’s shared. This role helps ensure that each experience feels intentional and inviting, without ever feeling overdesigned. When done well, guests may not consciously notice the styling but they’ll feel it.​

What We Offer:
