Cocktail Bartender

You'll look after tables at a wine farm restaurant in Rosslyn, from the first greeting to the final bill. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Rosslyn; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Mix cocktails, pour draught and serve shooters to spec at the bar.
• 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.
• Carry plates to the right seat without auctioning food at the table.
• Explain specials, allergens and wine pairings in plain words.
• Split bills, process card payments and handle tip-outs at the end of shift.

• At least 6 months of waitering, bar or coffee shop experience
• Happy to work nights, weekends and public holidays
• Quick with basic maths and card machines
• You speak clear English and can chat easily with guests
• Own transport or a safe way home after late shifts
• You can stand and walk for a full 8-hour shift

• A second language such as isiZulu, isiXhosa or Afrikaans
• A barista course certificate or latte-art skills

• You keep your own tips, paid out daily or weekly
• Late-shift lift home within a set radius

• Walk in with your CV between 2pm and 4pm when managers have time, not during lunch or dinner service.
