Job 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, Cambridge and Oxford, with our newest Bar-Cafe opening in Portobello later this Spring! 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, with each Dishoomwalle contributing to 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 focus on our team’s well-being in four key areas:

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.
• Enhanced family leave and pay, plus specific Dishoom-walle benefits for those growing little families.

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 – 24/7.
• On demand GP appointments, free counselling sessions, and life coaching through our wellness app.
• 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.

Socials

• We love bringing our teams (and families) together to celebrate everyone’s hard work across the year, including our Family Mela (summer festival) and Christmas celebration.
• We host regular team events across our cafes.
• Team members who work at Dishoom for 5 years are invited to attend Bombay Bootcamp – a guided tour of Bombay with our co-founders.

What to expect:

• Free team meals every shift, plus all the Chai you can drink!
• £15.75 - £16 per hour including tronc (based on the last 3-month’s average). Paid monthly.
• Full-time role across 5 days, Monday - Sunday availability required.
• Weekly rota provided at least 6 days in advance.
• Variety of daytime and evening shifts, no late nights.
• Access to award-winning training and development programs, with 211 Dishoomwalles promoted last year!
• Paid holiday entitlement; sites closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day; an extra day for parents to take children to school.
• No uniforms — smart casual and trainers are fine.

Have you got Seva?

In Dishoom, every team member is valued for creating a brilliant guest experience. We seek friendly, attentive, and organized individuals for the role of Server/Waiter/Waitress.

As a Server/Waiter/Waitress

• Greet guests warmly to make them feel welcomed.
• Transport guests to Bombay with knowledge of our drinks, bar snacks, curries, sharing plates, and Dishoom dishes.
• Ensure smooth service and clear communication with your team to provide a great guest experience.

What are we looking for?

• At least 1 year of experience as a Server/Waiter/Waitress in a high-volume restaurant, following detailed service procedures including allergen management.
• A desire to grow and develop; our Head Waiters are promoted from within, supported by our award-winning Babu (Manager) Masterclass program.

At Dishoom, everyone is welcome. We are committed to an inclusive and diverse workplace and encourage applications from all backgrounds, identities, and experiences.
