Job Description

You'll look after tables at a sports bar and grill in George, from the first greeting to the final bill. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

This post is George-based, with most of your time spent at a sports bar and grill.

What your day looks like

  • Set tables, polish cutlery and glasses, and check condiments before doors open.
  • Mix cocktails, pour draught and serve shooters to spec at the bar.
  • Restock the bar fridges and help with the weekly stock count.
  • Clear, wipe and reset tables fast during the Friday and Sunday rush.
  • Pull espresso shots and steam milk for flat whites and cappuccinos.
  • Refuse service to anyone under 18 or visibly drunk, as the Liquor Act requires.

Must-haves

  • Neat grooming and a friendly manner under pressure
  • Happy to work nights, weekends and public holidays
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric is a plus
  • You can stand and walk for a full 8-hour shift
  • Own transport or a safe way home after late shifts
  • You speak clear English and can chat easily with guests

Helpful, not essential

  • A barista course certificate or latte-art skills
  • Responsible Service of Alcohol training

What you get

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