Job Description

Good service at a beachfront cocktail bar in Umhlanga starts with you: friendly, quick and on top of every order. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

Location: Umhlanga, KwaZulu-Natal. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

The work, day to day

  • Refuse service to anyone under 18 or visibly drunk, as the Liquor Act requires.
  • Mix cocktails, pour draught and serve shooters to spec at the bar.
  • Pull espresso shots and steam milk for flat whites and cappuccinos.
  • Clear, wipe and reset tables fast during the Friday and Sunday rush.
  • Take orders on the POS tablet and read them back to avoid kitchen mistakes.

Must-haves

  • You speak clear English and can chat easily with guests
  • Own transport or a safe way home after late shifts
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric is a plus
  • Quick with basic maths and card machines
  • Happy to work nights, weekends and public holidays

Helpful, not essential

  • A second language such as isiZulu, isiXhosa or Afrikaans
  • Responsible Service of Alcohol training
  • 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
  • You keep your own tips, paid out daily or weekly
