Work with us as a Chef in Liverpool!

Are you a passionate and talented Kitchen Team Member considering a potential opportunity in our New Opening of Liverpool? Our Permit Rooms are 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 dedicated kitchen team member from Head chef to Kitchen assistant, with a relentless drive for quality and a commitment to crafting exceptional dishes while supporting a positive team environment, 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. Our Permit Rooms can be found in Brighton, Cambridge, Oxford and Portobello!

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 this year, we have donated 25 million meals (and counting) to children in the UK and India. As a Dishoomwalle, 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:

• Competitive hourly and salary pay inclusive of tronc. We pay on a monthly basis. As you grow and develop with Dishoom, you'll receive annual pay increases over three years.
• We’re an all day dining Permit Room, 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.
• We’ll provide the Chef whites!

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. 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.
