Based on 303 distinct posted pay ranges, at 19 companies, every range put on a yearly basis (a rate per hour × 2,080 hours). 345 of the 705 openings here list no pay; 1 names only a top figure ("up to $X") and is not counted.

Open sales seats at companies that sell food and drink (foodservice and beverage distributors, drinks makers and packaged food makers), read from each company's own careers page. A role counts here when its employer sells food or beverages, whatever its title says. Each employer's careers system is read again every hour, so a seat it fills drops off this page at the next read.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.

Ask before you sign

Ask whether the pay is commission on what your customers order or a bonus on volume and distribution goals, how many accounts the route or territory covers, whether the seat also merchandises shelves and builds displays, and which hours it keeps (bars and restaurants buy at night and on weekends).

Posted pay for each kind of seat

Each row's band comes from that kind's own open postings in this market, by the method behind every band on the board (from the 25th percentile of the midpoints of posted ranges (each counted as yearly pay, a rate per hour at 2,080 hours) to the 90th percentile of their top ends); a row needs three distinct posted ranges before it gets one. Every figure is yearly pay in US dollars; where a posting quotes a rate per hour, week or month, it is multiplied by 2,080, 52 or 12 to make a full-time year (40 hours over 52 weeks).

Requirements named in the postings

Frequently asked questions

How much does a food and beverage sales seat pay?

The open food and beverage sales roles carry 303 separate posted pay ranges. The middle of that market is $56.5k–$162k/yr and its median $69k/yr, each figure the range a posting states, base or OTE as it labels it. The richest posting tops out at $282k/yr, at Red Bull. 345 of the 705 leave pay out, which usually means the number comes up at the recruiter screen.

Can you get into food and beverage sales without experience?

Yes, through the trainee and entry seats: Red Bull's sales trainee program (70 open US seats on 2 November 2026), Breakthru Beverage's sales development roles and Land O'Lakes' feed sales internships hire graduates and people coming from restaurants, bars and retail. Account manager seats that sell to grocery chains' headquarters usually ask for years of consumer goods selling. The years and degrees today's open roles name are counted on this page. Counting the requirement lines of 123 open food and beverage sales roles, 2 a master's or an MBA, 36 a bachelor's or some degree and 85 mention no degree at all.

What does a food and beverage sales rep do?

Three kinds of seat. Foodservice distributors' sales consultants sell food, supplies and kitchen equipment to restaurants, hotels, hospitals and schools across a territory; beverage reps at drinks makers and wine, spirits and beer distributors sell to bars, restaurants and stores (on and off premise) and win shelf space, menus and displays; and packaged food makers' account managers sell to grocery chains, club stores and distributors, often at the buyer's headquarters. On 2 November 2026 Sysco, Red Bull and Breakthru Beverage Group had the most open US food and beverage sales roles, and Sysco's most common title was sales consultant.

Are these openings real?

Each one is read from the employer's own careers system (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and the like), and Apply takes you to that company's application. Diageo, METRO, JDE Peet's and Sysco GB are among the employers on this page. A real employer never charges you for training, a starter kit or a background check; the scam checker lists the other warning signs of a fake offer.
