Job Requirements / Description
We are proud to be recognised as one of the best places to work in Hospitality. Looking after people is at the core of what we do and we work hard to make life at Dishoom the best it can be. Since 2010, our restaurants have celebrated the Irani cafes and all of the food and drink of Bombay. We have Dishoom Cafes across London, Edinburgh, Manchester and Birmingham. Our Permit Rooms can be found in Brighton and Cambridge, with our newest Bar-Cafe opening in Oxford later this year! Plus, we have kitchens across London to ensure our guests can enjoy our food at home!

As well as running busy sites with big teams, we also understand the importance of doing more. From planting trees with our teams in the UK & India, tying Rakhis with our guests, to our dedication to helping to feed children through Meal for a Meal. Since January 2024, we have donated 20 million meals and counting, and as a Dishoomwalle you contribute 55 meals per shift!

We are opening our newest Permit Room Bar-Cafe this Autumn in Oxford. Our Permit Rooms are a space dedicated to seriously good food, the most delicious and sincere tipples, great music and good cheer. We've just taken top spot for Best Cocktails in the Bravo awards 2024!

New Opening Our newest Bar-cafe in Oxford is a little way from being open, but we can't wait to meet with you and we'll be inviting candidates to meet with us for an interview over August - September. Our NEW team will be starting with us from late September to kick off our pre-opening training.

How well support you At Dishoom, we genuinely care about supporting you and your well-being (inside and outside of work). With this, we tend to think about well-being in four different ways:

Financial

All Babus (Managers) are fully trained in mental health support & First Aid. Dedicated support from our confidential advice helpline - available to you or someone in your household

24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. Free fitness sessions every month (including yoga and spin classes). Calling all cricket fans, we have our very own Dishoom Premier League (an in-house cricket tournament) where you get to compete with your team at Lords.

Social Were a growing company and love nothing more than bringing our teams (and families) together to celebrate everyones hard work across the year. Youll be invited to our:

Family Mela (Family summer festival) Huge Christmas celebration

Plus, we host regular team events across our cafes.

Team members who work at Dishoom for 5 years are invited to attend Bombay Bootcamp

What to expect:

Free team meals every shift, plus all the Chai you can drink! £15 per hour inclusive of tronc (based on the last 3-months average). We pay on a monthly basis. A full-time role working across 5 days, Monday - Sunday availability required. A weekly changing rota provided at least 10 days in advance. We're an all day dining Bar- Cafe, meaning our teams work a variety of daytime and evening shifts (not the usual always late nights!) Access to our award-winning training programmes and support. We focus on your development from day one and proudly promoted 211 Dishoomwalles last year! The usual number of days holiday a year - paid for, including tronc. Our sites are closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and if you have children, well provide one extra day to take them to their first day at school. No uniforms here - smart casual and comfortable is key, and of course trainers are fine.
