Kricket Job Description
Recognised as one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026 for the second year in a row and recently recognised as one of CODE's Happiest Places to work 2026, Kricket is a collection of modern Indian restaurants that combine British ingredients with the flavours and aromas of India. Having started life in a 20-seater shipping container at Pop Brixton, Kricket now operates permanent locations in Brixton, Canary Wharf and Soho alongside our award-winning bar concept, SOMA. The group is looking to grow further in London and internationally.
Our newest location, in the heart of Shoreditch, is a 120-cover restaurant and bar, housed in a restored Victorian dispensary. It’s an evolution of the Kricket brand, featuring our first all-day café and bar concept alongside our signature restaurant experience.
About The Role
We're looking for an Assistant Manager to be a key partner to our General Manager. You'll ensure our day-to-day operations run flawlessly while collaborating with senior management to drive improvements across the board. Your passion for fostering a people-first culture and delivering best-in-class service will be instrumental in helping us grow and evolve.
