Job Description

You'll look after tables at a busy mall coffee shop in Hammarsdale, from the first greeting to the final bill. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work is in Hammarsdale, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

What your day looks like

  • Mix cocktails, pour draught and serve shooters to spec at the bar.
  • Check back two minutes after mains land and fix problems on the spot.
  • Clear, wipe and reset tables fast during the Friday and Sunday rush.
  • Refuse service to anyone under 18 or visibly drunk, as the Liquor Act requires.
  • Split bills, process card payments and handle tip-outs at the end of shift.
  • Greet guests, seat them and hand over menus within a minute of arrival.

What you need

  • Grade 10 or higher; matric is a plus
  • Own transport or a safe way home after late shifts
  • Quick with basic maths and card machines
  • You can stand and walk for a full 8-hour shift
  • You speak clear English and can chat easily with guests

Extra points for

  • 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

What you get

  • Staff meal on every shift
  • Paid menu and wine tastings so you can sell with confidence
  • Uniform supplied and laundered
