JOIN OUR TEAM
We’re looking for passionate hospitality professionals who thrive on creating moments of connection.
If you love the buzz of a lively venue, enjoy making people feel welcome, and believe every interaction can make someone’s day; we’d love to hear from you.
At Draughts, we’re about more than great food, drink, and games. We create spaces where people can slow down, laugh, and feel part of something real.
Our team is central to that genuine, hard-working, and proud of the experience they help bring to life every day.
WORKPLACE & CULTURE
At Draughts, we believe connection still matters; between guests, colleagues, and the communities around us. Our venues exist to bring people together through play, food, and drink, creating genuine connection in a world that’s more connected than ever, but less social than it once was.
We build strong teams by valuing reliability, communication, and collaboration. Everyone’s contribution counts, and we succeed when we work with intention and care for one another.
We offer clear structure, fair expectations, and the chance to grow within a team that recognises effort and commitment. From team gatherings and game nights to celebrating milestones, we take pride in creating a workplace that feels welcoming, supportive, and full of energy.
We started from one railway arch in Haggerston; built with our own hands and a lot of belief. That same spirit still defines us today: built with heart, made for connection.

About Draughts
Draughts began in 2014 with a simple idea and a whole lot of belief. In a fast, digital world, we wanted to create places where people could slow down and connect again; face to face. Our first venue opened in a railway arch in Haggerston, followed by new spaces in Waterloo, Dalston and now in Stratford , each transformed from empty shells into warm, vibrant destinations filled with laughter and conversation.
Driven by passion, perseverance, and purpose, we’ve grown into one of London’s most loved destinations for connection, through play, food, and drink; and we’re proud to keep that spirit alive in every venue we build.
