Front of House Team Member - Oxford, Oxfordshire

New opening - Immediate start


What to expect:


  • Free team meals every shift, plus all the Chai you can drink
  • 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 10 days in advance.
  • We're an all day dining Bar- 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.



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 and Cambridge, with our newest Bar-Cafe opening in Oxford later 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. Since January 2024, we have donated 20 million meals and counting, and as a Dishoomwalle you contribute 55 meals per shift


We are opening our newest Permit Room Bar-Cafe this Autumn in Oxford. Our Permit Rooms are a space dedicated to seriously good food, the most delicious and sincere tipples, great music and good cheer. We've just taken top spot for Best Cocktails in the Bravo awards 2024


Opening timeline

Not long now until our new Bar-cafe is ready Our NEW team will be starting with us from week commencing 30th September to kick off our pre-opening training.
