Job Description

This is a floor job at a sports bar and grill in Atlantis where your tips follow your service. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The work is in Atlantis, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

What your day looks like

  • Pull espresso shots and steam milk for flat whites and cappuccinos.
  • Carry plates to the right seat without auctioning food at the table.
  • Check back two minutes after mains land and fix problems on the spot.
  • Take orders on the POS tablet and read them back to avoid kitchen mistakes.
  • Restock the bar fridges and help with the weekly stock count.

You'll need

  • Neat grooming and a friendly manner under pressure
  • Quick with basic maths and card machines
  • Own transport or a safe way home after late shifts
  • You speak clear English and can chat easily with guests
  • 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
  • You keep your own tips, paid out daily or weekly
  • Paid menu and wine tastings so you can sell with confidence

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): a one-page CV with a recent photo plus contact details for your last restaurant manager.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Atlantis.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Put the names of the restaurants you worked at and your average covers per shift at the top of your CV.
  • Walk in with your CV between 2pm and 4pm when managers have time, not during lunch or dinner service.
