Right in the heart of downtown Valparaiso, Blockhead Beerworks brings together the best of food, drink, and culture. We’re a one-of-a-kind brewstillery known for fresh, hand-rolled sushi, steamed buns, and craft beer made in-house. What really sets us apart, though, is the people — a tight-knit team that thrives on creativity, good energy, and genuine hospitality.

We’re part of the same crew behind Tomato Bar Pizza Bakery, which means you’re stepping into a team that values fun, respect, and killer teamwork. It’s fast-paced, yes — but we laugh, we hustle, and we’ve built a culture around lifting each other up.

What You’ll Do

As a Host, you’re the first face our guests see — the one setting the tone for their experience. You will:

• Welcome guests with genuine energy (no fake smiles here)
• Keep the flow running smoothly (manage the waitlist + server rotation)
• Help the team turn tables quickly and keep things spotless
• Handle takeout orders like a pro — over the phone and in person
• Make sure every guest leaves feeling like a regular

What We’re Looking For

• Friendly, outgoing, and positive attitude — always
• Clear communicator (in person + over the phone)
• Organized multitasker who thrives when it’s busy
• Quick learner, comfortable using tech/POS systems
• Restaurant experience = bonus points, but not required

Perks & Benefits

We take care of our people:

• 75% company-paid health, dental & vision (for full-time team)
• 401(k) with company match 
• Paid Time Off for all team members
• Flexible scheduling that fits your life
• Employee discounts at Blockhead + Tomato Bar 
• HSA plans with company match
• Industry-leading parental leave
• Competitive pay & real growth opportunities

Who You Are

You’re the kind of person who remembers names, thrives on a little chaos, and can make someone’s night just by being you. You like being part of something that feels bigger — a team that actually has your back.
