From Home Craze Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Are you a food enthusiast, home cook, entertaining expert, or charcuterie lover who lights up when you talk about food? Do you love teaching, connecting with people, and turning a simple gathering into an unforgettable experience? Graze Craze Austin is looking for energetic, passionate, and knowledgeable Workshop Leads to host our charcuterie classes

Role: Charcuterie Workshop Lead (Independent Contractor)

Locations: Great Hills (8650 Spicewood Springs Rd) & Oak Hill (6705 US-290)

Schedule: Flexible — workshops scheduled by mutual agreement

Type: 1099 Independent Contractor (not a traditional employee)

Lead Engaging, Hands-On Workshops

• Host in-store charcuterie classes at one or both Graze Craze Austin locations, guiding participants through the art of building beautiful and delicious charcuterie boards.
• Teach board-building fundamentals including flavor pairing, ingredient selection, color balance, texture variety, and visual styling techniques.
• Create a warm, social, and memorable atmosphere — think less classroom, more party with purpose.
• Adapt your workshop style to the audience — from date nights and girls nights to corporate team-building and bridal showers.
• Facilitate a 60–90 minute session from welcome through hands-on assembly, Q&A, and send-off.

Deliver a Premium Graze Craze Experience

• Represent the Graze Craze brand with enthusiasm, warmth, and deep product knowledge.
• Ensure every participant leaves with a board they are proud of and a memory worth sharing.
• Naturally introduce participants to Graze Craze retail and catering offerings to extend the brand relationship.
• Collect participant feedback after each session and share insights with the management team.

Content Creation for Workshops

• Capture engaging behind-the-scenes photo and video content during workshops — setup, board assembly in progress, finished boards, happy participants — for use across Graze Craze's social platforms and your own channels.
• Create short-form video content (Instagram Reels, TikTok clips) showcasing workshop highlights, teaser previews, and charcuterie tips to attract new workshop attendees.
• Tag Graze Craze Austin in all workshop-related social posts and use agreed-upon hashtags to maximize reach and searchability.
• Submit a selection of content assets (photos and clips) to the General Manager within 48 hours after each workshop for use in store marketing.
• Optionally contribute blog-style or email content recapping workshop themes, tips shared, and participant highlights — great for SEO and email engagement.
• Maintain a visually consistent and on-brand aesthetic in all content that reflects the quality and artistry of the Graze Craze experience.

Collaborate on Scheduling & Workshop Content

• Work with the Graze Craze Austin team to schedule workshops around your availability and store capacity.
• Pitch themed workshop ideas to keep content exciting and bookings strong throughout the year.
• Coordinate with the kitchen team to confirm ingredient availability and setup logistics before each class.

Private & Corporate Events

• Lead privately booked workshops for birthdays, bachelorette parties, corporate team-building, and special occasions — these events often feature larger groups and higher commissions.
• Collaborate with the General Manager to quote, confirm, and execute private and corporate bookings seamlessly.
• Build your own growing network of repeat clients and referrals for a compounding income stream over time.

We are not looking for a professional chef or certified culinary instructor — though those backgrounds are absolutely welcome. We are looking for people who have a genuine love of food and a natural gift for making others feel excited, welcome, and inspired. Our ideal Workshop Lead is:

• A food enthusiast, home entertainer, food blogger, caterer, private chef, or culinary hobbyist with a passion for charcuterie, cheese, and artful presentation.
• A natural communicator and connector who is comfortable speaking to groups of 8–20 people in a relaxed, social setting.
• Creative, warm, and energetic with a personality that makes people want to come back.
• Comfortable in front of a camera and familiar with creating engaging social media content — Reels, TikToks, and food photography.
• Reliable and professional — when you commit to a workshop date, participants are counting on you.
• Self-motivated and entrepreneurially minded — you see this role as a chance to build something meaningful, not just a gig.
• Knowledgeable about charcuterie ingredients, flavor pairings, and board aesthetics — or genuinely eager to learn through our onboarding program.
• Active on social media or embedded in Austin food, entertaining, or lifestyle communities is a strong plus.

• Valid Texas Food Handler's Certification (or willingness to obtain before your first workshop — we will guide you).
• Must be 21+ as workshops may include optional wine accompaniments for adult participants.
• A smartphone with a quality camera capable of capturing photos and short-form video content.
• Active social media presence on at least one platform (Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook) preferred.
• Reliable transportation to reach Great Hills and/or Oak Hill locations in Austin.
• Ability to stand comfortably for 60–90 minutes and work in a food preparation environment.
• Signed independent contractor agreement with Graze Craze Austin prior to leading your first workshop.

• All ingredients, boards, tools, packaging, and supplies for every workshop — you show up ready to teach and inspire, we handle the rest.
• Fully equipped and set-up venue space at our Great Hills or Oak Hill locations.
• Workshop ticketing, online booking management, and payment collection handled entirely by Graze Craze via Eventbrite and in-store systems.
• Base-level marketing of public workshops through Graze Craze's official social media channels, email list, and Eventbrite listings.
• Branded content templates, hashtags, and posting guidelines to make your social promotion easy and on-brand.
• Onboarding and training on Graze Craze products, brand standards, workshop curriculum, and content guidelines.
• Ongoing support from the General Manager and kitchen team before and during each class.
• A growing, community-loved brand with a built-in Austin audience — your content will reach people who already love what we do.

• You have always wanted to share your love of food with others but did not know how or where to start.
• You are a food content creator, caterer, event planner, private entertainer, or culinary school graduate looking to grow your personal brand while earning income.
• You love being in front of a camera as much as you love being in the kitchen.
• You are looking for a flexible, creative income stream that fits naturally around your current lifestyle or career.
• You want to do something you genuinely love — teach, create, connect, and actually get paid well for it.
• You love Austin's vibrant food and entertaining culture and want to be part of something that is growing fast.
