Great drinks. Strong leadership. Seamless service. 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 hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives behind the bar, enjoys developing people, and understands both creativity and commercial control.
