Guests and team alike. We opened our first Permit Room Bar-Cafe last year in Brighton, and we're on the lookout for an Assistant Restaurant Managerto join the team!

In Brighton, we've just taken top spot for Best Cocktails in the Bravo awards 2024! Like any restaurant operation, our Babus' (Managers) are imperative to the success of our business. We genuinely couldnt do what we do without them! Dishoom is busy; circa 8,000 covers per site per week, with demanding shifts & first-class service execution. We are lucky enough to have (quite regularly) people waiting to dine with us. But, with that comes managing wait times of up to 90 minutes in the most big-hearted way, on top of the responsibility of huge teams to lead and nurture. However, at Dishoom on a busy evening shift, there is the support of multiple other Babus, plus 40-50 Dishoomwalles, all fully focused in their roles to support one another. Also, you are empowered to do the right thing when no one is looking. We never want to deter from our service standards and aim to pursue unreasonable hospitality to our guests every day through Seva. On top of that, our healthy pay, plentiful benefits and well-being support we have in place arent too bad either! Our Babus' Day out and Christmas celebration as our way of saying thank-you to our teams for 2023, was our best yet! So, what are we looking for?
