Empowering Change & Encouraging Equality in Foodservice

Reset the Table is championed and staffed by The Food Group—the premiere Creative Food + Beverage Marketing and Advertising Agency. We count professional chefs, foodservice alums and passionate food enthusiasts among us. Our special mix of minds and experience also afford us a unique perspective on the foodservice industry and its challenges. 

To learn more about what drives women and their roles within foodservice, we created a proprietary survey that asked women and men throughout our industry how they viewed the level of equality. The results were eye opening and inspired us to create this platform to promote change.

45% of women say men receive the bulk of press and TV mentions.* We are on a mission to change that.

Our research revealed major concerns over equal media exposure, equal pay, poor parental benefits and lack of women-led leadership opportunities. Now, with the help of our media partners, we’re on a mission to change all that. Reset the Table wants to level the playing field and give women in our industry the equal voice they deserve.

We want to uplift our entire industry by providing a safe space for everyone to learn, share and be heard. From features on industry leaders to career advice, job postings, educational event spotlights and more, we’re bringing it all to the table.

Won’t you join us?
