Cocktail Bartender – Fixed-Term

You'll look after tables at a family steakhouse in Komani, 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.

Location: Komani, Eastern Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Check back two minutes after mains land and fix problems on the spot.
• Split bills, process card payments and handle tip-outs at the end of shift.
• Greet guests, seat them and hand over menus within a minute of arrival.
• 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.

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

• Wine knowledge from a WSET Level 1 or wine farm stint
• A barista course certificate or latte-art skills

• Late-shift lift home within a set radius
• Uniform supplied and laundered
• You keep your own tips, paid out daily or weekly
• Staff meal on every shift

• Walk in with your CV between 2pm and 4pm when managers have time, not during lunch or dinner service.
• Recruiters ask about a difficult table, so have one real story ready about how you turned it around.
