Job Description

This is a floor job at a busy mall coffee shop in Centurion where your tips follow your service. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

Location: Centurion, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

What your day looks like

Pull espresso shots and steam milk for flat whites and cappuccinos.
Greet guests, seat them and hand over menus within a minute of arrival.
Carry plates to the right seat without auctioning food at the table.
Split bills, process card payments and handle tip-outs at the end of shift.
Refuse service to anyone under 18 or visibly drunk, as the Liquor Act requires.

What you need

Happy to work nights, weekends and public holidays
You speak clear English and can chat easily with guests
Quick with basic maths and card machines
At least 6 months of waitering, bar or coffee shop experience

Helpful, not essential

A second language such as isiZulu, isiXhosa or Afrikaans
Wine knowledge from a WSET Level 1 or wine farm stint

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): a one-page CV with a recent photo, certified copy of your ID plus your food handler or barista certificate, if you have one.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 working days.
