We believe we are at our happiest when we are contributing to the world to the best of our abilities. This goes beyond just serving people, we take them in and truly look after them. Guests and team alike. We are on the lookout for a Senior Assistant Manager to join our biggest and busiest cafe in Dishoom Covent Garden. Like any restaurant operation, our Babus' (Managers) are imperative to the success of our business. We genuinely couldn't do what we do without them You will be joining a management team looking after 170 team members and 12,000 weekly guests coming through the doors, 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 aren't 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?
