RESTAURANT HOST – JOIN KRICKET TODAY! 

Recognised as one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2025, 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 

This role is a fundamental part of Kricket’s success. We want someone willing to get stuck in and support management during service by overseeing all aspects of the door: building customer relations, managing service rhythm, problem-solving and of course, maximising covers.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR – BE PART OF A TEAM THAT CARES

  • Personality, professionalism, approachability and flexibility. 
  • The perfect candidate will support the front-of-house and Management Team in any way necessary by carrying out daily tasks and duties.
  • Prior Host experience and an eye for the smallest of details enhancing the guest experience by bringing prior knowledge, personality and bundles of energy, all whilst building guest relationships and rapport.

WHAT WE OFFER

Reward Yourself

  • 50% off the total bill, across the group at any time, any day, for you and up to 3 guests.
  • Cost price wine.
  • Extra day of holiday after two years with the company (capped at 35 days).
  • Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year's Day off.
  • Up to 30% off at our sister restaurant, Lina Stores.
  • Employee referral scheme up to £500.

Be Yourself

  • Membership to YuLife, with 24/7 access to its Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) for mental, emotional, and financial support.
  • Access to Wagestream, which allows you to access a portion of your earned wages in real-time.
  • Loyalty rewards, including a 5-year anniversary dinner with the founders, a once-in-a-lifetime trip to India, and a 5-week paid sabbatical.
  • Enhanced maternity/paternity pay & Baby First Aid classes for new parents.
  • Free mortgage advice.

Progress Yourself

  • Personal development plans.
  • Regular training sessions (both internal and external).
  • WSET courses for relevant roles.
  • Regular supplier trips.

We believe in a culture that promotes inclusivity and respect - everyone is welcome. If you are an experienced and passionate Host, apply now!

To be suitable you must have the correct working permit/visa.
