Job Description

Good service at a beachfront cocktail bar in Ermelo starts with you: friendly, quick and on top of every order. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

This post is Ermelo-based, with most of your time spent at a beachfront cocktail bar. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

What your day looks like

  • Mix cocktails, pour draught and serve shooters to spec at the bar.
  • Restock the bar fridges and help with the weekly stock count.
  • Explain specials, allergens and wine pairings in plain words.
  • Carry plates to the right seat without auctioning food at the table.
  • Pull espresso shots and steam milk for flat whites and cappuccinos.

You'll need

  • Neat grooming and a friendly manner under pressure
  • Happy to work nights, weekends and public holidays
  • Quick with basic maths and card machines
  • At least 6 months of waitering, bar or coffee shop experience
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric is a plus

What's in it for you

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