Job Summary
Bella Notte Ristorante | Whitby, Ontario
Part-Time / Freelance
Bella Notte Ristorante is looking for a creative, energetic Social Media Content Creator to help bring our restaurant, food and atmosphere to life online.
This is a hands-on, on-site content creation role. We are not looking for someone simply creating generic graphics or managing social media remotely. We want someone who can regularly come into the restaurant, capture great content and turn what is happening at Bella Notte into engaging social media.
What You'll Do
- Visit Bella Notte regularly to create original content
- Photograph menu items, features, cocktails, wine and special events
- Shoot engaging short-form video for Instagram Reels, Facebook and other platforms
- Capture behind-the-scenes kitchen and restaurant content
- Film our chefs preparing and plating dishes
- Capture the atmosphere of the restaurant during service
- Edit photos and videos into polished, engaging content
- Write captions and create posts that fit the Bella Notte brand
- Schedule and publish content consistently
- Create Stories and Reels highlighting daily and weekly features
- Help develop creative ideas to increase local awareness, engagement and followers
- Keep content current, authentic and visually consistent
Who We're Looking For
You have a good eye for photography and video and understand what makes people stop scrolling.
Experience creating food, restaurant, hospitality or lifestyle content is a major asset.
You should be comfortable working independently inside a busy restaurant and spotting opportunities for content without needing everything planned for you.
Knowledge of Instagram, Facebook, Reels, short-form video editing and current social media trends is important.
Most Important
We're looking for someone who can make Bella Notte's social media feel like Bella Notte — our food, our people, our kitchen and the experience of dining with us.
We want original, authentic content rather than stock imagery or generic restaurant advertising.
Schedule
Approximately 8–12 hours per week, with flexibility depending on content needs.
Some visits will need to take place during restaurant service, evenings or special events in order to capture authentic content.
This could be structured as a part-time position or freelance arrangement for the right person.
Applying
Please include links to your Instagram, TikTok, portfolio or examples of social media content you have personally photographed, filmed and edited.
Restaurant or food photography/video examples are strongly preferred.
We'd much rather see what you can create than receive a long cover letter.
