Barista & Floor Waitron

This is a floor job at a busy mall coffee shop in Germiston where your tips follow your service. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is in Germiston (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
