Work With Us Front Of House In 2026! - Oxford

Are you a passionate and talented Front of House team member considering a potential new opportunity this year? While we may not have any Front of House 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 Host, Server, Bartender, Barback or Runner with a relentless drive for quality and a commitment to making guests and teams alike feel valued and happy, we’d love to hear from you 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, Birmingham and Glasgow. Our Permit Rooms can be found in Brighton, Cambridge and Oxford, with our newest Bar-Cafe opened in Portobello Road earlier 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. As of January 2024, we have donated 20 million meals (and counting) to children in the UK and India. As a Dishoom-walle, you contribute 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.
• 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. 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) and 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:

• Free team meals every shift, plus all the Chai you can drink!
• Competitive hourly pay inclusive of tronc (based on the last 3-month's average across our London cafes). 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 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? In Dishoom, we see every team member as valuable and important to ensuring the all-around brilliant experience for our guests. We are looking for curious, energetic and helpful people to join our team as part of our Floor Support Team.

So what are we looking for? If you haven’t worked in hospitality before, no problem, we’ll provide the right training and support to set you up for success. Previous work experience in a role – minimum 6 months is preferred – any industry. A willingness to learn about food, drink and looking after people (guest and team alike).

At Dishoom – everyone is welcome. We’re committed to having an inclusive and diverse workplace and strongly encourage people from all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to apply for roles with us.
