Job Description

Good service at a hotel restaurant in Brackenfell starts with you: friendly, quick and on top of every order. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Location: Brackenfell, Western Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

The work, day to day

Split bills, process card payments and handle tip-outs at the end of shift.
Check back two minutes after mains land and fix problems on the spot.
Explain specials, allergens and wine pairings in plain words.
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.
Clear, wipe and reset tables fast during the Friday and Sunday rush.
Pull espresso shots and steam milk for flat whites and cappuccinos.

Must-haves

Neat grooming and a friendly manner under pressure
At least 6 months of waitering, bar or coffee shop experience
Happy to work nights, weekends and public holidays
Own transport or a safe way home after late shifts
Quick with basic maths and card machines

What's in it for you

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
Late-shift lift home within a set radius
