Exceptional service. Confident leadership. Warm hospitality.

Join the Founding Team of Oudh 1722

Coming to Borough in March 2026, Oudh 1722 is a project rooted in the soul of Awadhi cuisine and the art of genuine hospitality. We are transforming 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 theater 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 key floor leadership role, ideal for someone who thrives during busy services, leads by example, and is ready to take responsibility for standards, pace, and guest satisfaction.

As a Senior Waiter/Waitress you’ll be a key presence on the floor - approaching service with confidence, mentoring newer team members, and ensuring that every table receives warm, professional service. You’ll play a central role in shaping the rhythm and standard of each service.
