Job Description

Guests at this hotel restaurant in Bellville come back for the people, and you'll be one of the reasons. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

You'll be based at a hotel restaurant in Bellville. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What you'll actually do

  • Restock the bar fridges and help with the weekly stock count.
  • Check back two minutes after mains land and fix problems on the spot.
  • Explain specials, allergens and wine pairings in plain words.
  • Take orders on the POS tablet and read them back to avoid kitchen mistakes.
  • Refuse service to anyone under 18 or visibly drunk, as the Liquor Act requires.

Must-haves

  • Own transport or a safe way home after late shifts
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric is a plus
  • You speak clear English and can chat easily with guests
  • Neat grooming and a friendly manner under pressure
  • At least 6 months of waitering, bar or coffee shop experience

Helpful, not essential

  • A second language such as isiZulu, isiXhosa or Afrikaans
  • Wine knowledge from a WSET Level 1 or wine farm stint
  • A barista course certificate or latte-art skills

On offer

  • Late-shift lift home within a set radius
  • Uniform supplied and laundered
  • You keep your own tips, paid out daily or weekly
  • Paid menu and wine tastings so you can sell with confidence

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: contact details for your last restaurant manager, certified copy of your ID plus a one-page CV with a recent photo.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.
