Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: your food handler or barista certificate, if you have one plus a one-page CV with a recent photo.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

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

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.

Before you hit apply

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.
