Join the Team of Oudh 1722
Located in Borough, Oudh 1722 is a project rooted in the soul of Awadhi cuisine and the art of genuine hospitality. We have transformed a three-story Victorian building into a dining sanctuary where the food defined by the slow-cooked, aromatic traditions of Lucknow is only half the story.
From the moment guests step inside, they should feel the theatre of the kitchen and the warmth of a world-class front-of-house team working in perfect harmony. Backed by a Michelin-starred pedigree, we are building an environment that is as intentional as it is elegant. We are looking for people who want to be part of a team where the service feels just as "handmade" and soulful as the food we serve.
This is a guest-facing role for someone personable, organised, and calm, who enjoys looking after people and being part of a busy front-of-house team.
Role Review
The Receptionist is the first impression of the restaurant, making guests feel welcome, comfortable, and well looked after. It’s about warmth, organisation, and communication by helping the service run smoothly from the very first welcome.
