Assistant General Manager
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!
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, 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). 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.
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).
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.
* 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.
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.
* Access to our award-winning training programmes and support.
* 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.
We opened our first Permit Room Bar-Cafe last year in Brighton, and we're on the lookout for an Assistant General Manager to join the team! Our Permit Rooms are a space dedicated to seriously good food, the most delicious and sincere tipples, great music and good cheer. Like any restaurant operation, our Babus (Managers) are imperative to the success of our business.
Dishoom is busy; circa 8,000 covers per site per week, with demanding shifts & first-class service execution. 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.
So, what are we looking for?
As an Assistant General Manager:
* You have been working as an Assistant General Manager in a busy restaurant environment for at least the past year.
* Working in partnership with the General Manager, your big-hearted approach will make coaching and developing other members of the team a natural focus.
* You are ready to be the General Manager’s right arm; a natural leader, assuming responsibility to ensure the restaurant runs as it should in their absence.
* You’re commercially savvy and bring ideas to the table, eager to develop your overall awareness and understanding further.
* First-class service is your priority; always prepared to seek tough feedback, working closely with the General Manager to ensure you raise the standards every day and exceed everyone’s expectations.
At Dishoom - everyone is welcome. We are committed to having an inclusive and diverse workplace and strongly encourage people from all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to apply for roles with us.
