Staff Indian Restaurant jobs in London

Floor Manager - New Opening!

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. Plus, we have a range of kitchens to ensure our guests can enjoy our food at home!

Alongside running busy sites with large teams, we also believe in doing more. Each year, we pledge to plant a tree for every Dishoom-walle, continue to break down barriers through our cultural events, and support children through our Meal for a Meal initiative. As of this year, we have donated 30 million meals (and counting) to children in the UK and India, with every Dishoomwalle contributing 55 meals per shift to this cause.

We are opening our newest Dishoom in Borough, London, this Autumn – serving up Bombay comfort food, all-day dining, and big-hearted hospitality in a beautiful new space.

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.

£100 monthly to spend when dining in Dishoom each month. Post this £100, 50% during the day, and 25% in the evening for you and up to 5 people.

Access to our Healthcare cash plan

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 hours a day, 365 days of the year.

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 sports 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, and an annual Dishoom Football league that runs across our cafés and Permit Room teams.

Socials

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 educational trip to Bombay to learn about our unique food, culture and heritage.

What to expect:

• Free team meals every shift, plus all the Chai you can drink!
• £44000- £49000 per year inclusive of tronc. We pay on a monthly basis.
• A full-time role working across 5 days, Monday - Sunday availability required.
• A weekly changing rota provided at least 6 days in advance.
• 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 326 Dishoom-walles last year!
• The usual number of days holiday a year - paid for at your usual rate. 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?

In Dishoom, we see every team member as valuable and important to ensuring the all-around brilliant experience for our guests.

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!

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 Dishoom-walles, 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 in January, was our best yet!

So, what are we looking for?

As a Floor Manager:

• You have been working as a Floor Manager in a high volume, multi-faceted bar/restaurant environment for the past few years.
• You’re first-class in everything you do and want to find an environment that’s as obsessive about quality as you are and help you flourish.
• You have an eye for detail; always upholding the highest standards and ensuring every shift is in the very safest pair of hands.
• You’re a great leader who really cares about your people. Your big-hearted approach will make coaching and developing other members of the team a natural focus.
• You have a genuine commitment to making people happy - guest and team alike –to ensure you have one of the happiest teams in the business and guests that turn into regulars and regulars into friends.

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.
