Are you a passionate and talented Hospitality Manager thinking about a potential new opportunity this year? While we may not have any Management roles open at the moment, we’re always on the lookout for exceptional individuals who share our love of Bombay food, culture, and hospitality. At Dishoom, we pride ourselves on creating bustling, welcoming spaces and fostering a team culture where people can truly flourish. If you’re a big-hearted General Manager, Assistant General Manager or Floor manager with a relentless drive for quality and a commitment to making guests and teams alike feel valued and happy, we’d love to connect and keep you in mind for future opportunities.
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!
How we’ll support you
At Dishoom, we care about supporting you and your well-being (inside and outside of work). With this, we tend to think about our team’s well-being in four different ways:
Financial
Free weekly wage advances and emergency cash.
Access to our savings support & financial health planning tool.
Up to 50% off when dining at Dishoom with friends and family. Plus, Dishoom Black card with a monthly allowance for treating friends and family in our cafes in your own time.
Mental & Physical
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.
Healthcare cash plan.
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 Lord’s.
Social
We’re a growing company and love nothing more than bringing our teams (and families) together to celebrate everyone’s hard work across the year.
You’ll 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 – an incredible once-in-a-lifetime guided tour of Bombay with our co-founders (over 200 people attended last year)!
What to expect:
* Competitive salary per year inclusive of tronc. We pay on a monthly basis.
* A full-time role working across 5 days, Monday - Sunday availability required.
* We're an all day dining 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, we’ll 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.
Have you got Seva?
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.
