Your role as a Restaurant Manager

We are looking for an empathetic leader who understands that great guest service starts with a happy team. You won’t just be managing a floor; you’ll be setting the tone. You will be responsible for maintaining the quality that Blacklock is famous for, while nurturing the next generation of hospitality talent. To thrive here, you need to be a true \”people person\” who gets just as much joy out of developing a runner into a waiter as they do from running a perfect service.

If you have a healthy obsession with hospitality (and gravy), share our unwavering commitment to the perfect Chop, and want to join a growing company that prides itself on being a great place to work – you’ll fit right in.
