Job Description

You'll look after tables at a busy mall coffee shop in Pinetown, from the first greeting to the final bill. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Pinetown; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

The work, day to day

  • Check back two minutes after mains land and fix problems on the spot.
  • Take orders on the POS tablet and read them back to avoid kitchen mistakes.
  • 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.

Must-haves

  • Grade 10 or higher; matric is a plus
  • Own transport or a safe way home after late shifts
  • Happy to work nights, weekends and public holidays
  • You can stand and walk for a full 8-hour shift
  • At least 6 months of waitering, bar or coffee shop experience
  • You speak clear English and can chat easily with guests

What you get

  • Paid menu and wine tastings so you can sell with confidence
  • Staff meal on every shift
  • Late-shift lift home within a set radius
  • Uniform supplied and laundered

How to apply for this job

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): your food handler or barista certificate, if you have one plus a one-page CV with a recent photo.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.
