Description : ABOUT CHETOLA RESORT

For over 175 years, Chetola Resort has offered guests a timeless mountain escape in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Serving as the gateway to beautiful Blowing Rock, North Carolina as a luxury haven where adventure meets tranquility, Chetola blends refined hospitality with immersive outdoor experiences—from Orvis®-endorsed fly fishing to award-winning dining, spa indulgence, and family-friendly recreation. Under new ownership, we are embracing an exciting new chapter rooted in thoughtful renewal, authentic elegance, and exceptional guest service. Blowing Rock boasts many of the most luxurious residences in all of the Carolinas, with an affluent clientele in a year-round destination.

THE ROLE

Chetola Resort is seeking a disciplined , visionary , and service-obsessed Restaurant Manager to lead Timberlake’s Restaurant. This is not simply a supervisory role—it is a chance to raise the bar of excellence and set the gold standard for dining in the High Country.

The Restaurant Manager will oversee all front-of-house operations and partner closely with the Executive Chef and resort leadership team. This leader will set, communicate, and enforce service standards ; build and sustain a culture of accountability and pride; and create a guest experience that is as precise as it is warm .

  • Collaboration & Financial Stewardship

  • Partner closely with the Executive Chef to ensure seamless service, strong communication, and aligned priorities
  • Monitor and manage labor and cost controls, balancing efficiency with service excellence
  • Collaborate on menu development, wine and beverage programs, and seasonal promotions
