Job Description

You'll look after tables at a hotel restaurant in Somerset West, from the first greeting to the final bill. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The site is in Somerset West; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

The work, day to day

  • Greet guests, seat them and hand over menus within a minute of arrival.
  • Take orders on the POS tablet and read them back to avoid kitchen mistakes.
  • Restock the bar fridges and help with the weekly stock count.
  • Set tables, polish cutlery and glasses, and check condiments before doors open.
  • Pull espresso shots and steam milk for flat whites and cappuccinos.
  • Refuse service to anyone under 18 or visibly drunk, as the Liquor Act requires.

What you need

  • You can stand and walk for a full 8-hour shift
  • You speak clear English and can chat easily with guests
  • Quick with basic maths and card machines
  • Neat grooming and a friendly manner under pressure
  • Happy to work nights, weekends and public holidays

Nice if you have

  • A barista course certificate or latte-art skills
  • Wine knowledge from a WSET Level 1 or wine farm stint

What's in it for you

  • Staff meal on every shift
  • Late-shift lift home within a set radius
  • Uniform supplied and laundered
  • Paid menu and wine tastings so you can sell with confidence

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: a one-page CV with a recent photo, your food handler or barista certificate, if you have one plus contact details for your last restaurant manager.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Walk in with your CV between 2pm and 4pm when managers have time, not during lunch or dinner service.
