Events Planner & Coordinator for New South Indian Restaurant & Bar

---

We’re looking for a creative, proactive, and well-connected Event Planner & Coordinator to bring life to our newly opened private dining space and bar at Rikshaw, a South Indian restaurant based in Gipsy Hill, London. This is an exciting short term opportunity with potential for long term collaboration based on the success of your events. Your role will involve: Creating and executing a calendar of engaging events that drive footfall and build community vibe, think singles nights, DJ nights, movie screenings, live music, themed game nights, hen parties, cultural celebrations, and more. Coordinating logistics, vendors, equipment, entertainment, and promotions. Making use of our private dining room (downstairs) and bar areas (both upstairs and downstairs) to bring in new crowds and turn Rikshaw into a local events hotspot. Ensuring smooth execution from start to finish for each event. Bringing your own network of DJs, performers, photographers, decorators, etc. is a huge plus. We’re particularly keen on ideas that appeal to both locals and South Asian communities nearby, anything that encourages people to come together, have fun, and experience Rikshaw beyond just food and drink. What we’re looking for: Previous experience planning and coordinating events, ideally within hospitality or nightlife settings. Strong organizational skills and ability to work independently. A sense of what works in a vibrant, community-based setting. Connections in the London events scene would be amazing. Reliable, creative, and great at getting people excited about what’s happening. This is a trial role to start with. If your events are successful and well executed, we’ll look to keep you on long term and outsource all events planning to you moving forward. If you love bringing people together and want to turn a cozy, local restaurant into a buzzing events space, we’d love to hear from you.
