Job Description

Good service at a family steakhouse in Stellenbosch starts with you: friendly, quick and on top of every order. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The site is in Stellenbosch; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

What you'll actually do

  • Set tables, polish cutlery and glasses, and check condiments before doors open.
  • Carry plates to the right seat without auctioning food at the table.
  • Explain specials, allergens and wine pairings in plain words.
  • Refuse service to anyone under 18 or visibly drunk, as the Liquor Act requires.
  • Greet guests, seat them and hand over menus within a minute of arrival.

You'll need

  • Grade 10 or higher; matric is a plus
  • You can stand and walk for a full 8-hour shift
  • Quick with basic maths and card machines
  • You speak clear English and can chat easily with guests
  • At least 6 months of waitering, bar or coffee shop experience
  • Neat grooming and a friendly manner under pressure

Nice if you have

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

What you get

  • Uniform supplied and laundered
  • Staff meal on every shift
  • Late-shift lift home within a set radius
  • You keep your own tips, paid out daily or weekly

How to apply for this job

  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: your food handler or barista certificate, if you have one, a one-page CV with a recent photo plus certified copy of your ID.
  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 6 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Stellenbosch.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Recruiters ask about a difficult table, so have one real story ready about how you turned it around.
  • Put the names of the restaurants you worked at and your average covers per shift at the top of your CV.
