Add a Spark to the Ordinary…
Shift Leads at Blank Street don't just run shifts, they set the standard. You're the heartbeat of the store: keeping the floor moving, holding the bar high, and making sure the team shows up as the best version of themselves every single shift. The details are the whole point — the drink that's made exactly right, the customer who leaves happier than they came in, the shift that runs like clockwork.
We’re opening in LA for the first time, and the Shift Lead role carries real weight. We expect our Shift Leads to care deeply equally for our customers and their team. We celebrate wins together, whether it’s beautiful latte art or a meaningful customer interaction. Shift Leads set the tone, building pride, energy, and a strong sense of camaraderie across the team. You're not inheriting a culture, you're building it. How this team operates, how this store feels, and how Blank Street lands in a brand new city starts with you.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.
Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
