Job Description

This is a floor job at a beachfront cocktail bar in Soweto where your tips follow your service. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is in Soweto (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

What you'll actually do

  • Take orders on the POS tablet and read them back to avoid kitchen mistakes.
  • 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.
  • Carry plates to the right seat without auctioning food at the table.
  • Explain specials, allergens and wine pairings in plain words.
  • Mix cocktails, pour draught and serve shooters to spec at the bar.
  • Set tables, polish cutlery and glasses, and check condiments before doors open.

You'll need

  • Happy to work nights, weekends and public holidays
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric is a plus
  • Neat grooming and a friendly manner under pressure
  • Own transport or a safe way home after late shifts

Helpful, not essential

  • A second language such as isiZulu, isiXhosa or Afrikaans
  • A barista course certificate or latte-art skills

What's in it for you

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Soweto really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): a one-page CV with a recent photo, contact details for your last restaurant manager plus your food handler or barista certificate, if you have one.
  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 5 working days.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Tips to get shortlisted
