receptionist jobs in Yorkshire

We’re opening the doors to our brand new Dishoom Café in August 2026, and we’re on the lookout for warm, big-hearted hospitality pros to join our team from July 2026.

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 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.

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.

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!
• £14 - £15 per hour inclusive of tronc (based on the last 3-month’s average). 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 Dishoomwalles 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.

So what are we looking for?

• Previous work experience as a Host - at least 1 year minimum, in a high volume restaurant/ bar environment, following detailed steps of service and use of guest management systems.
