Job Description

Guests at this sports bar and grill in Fourways come back for the people, and you'll be one of the reasons. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Fourways; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

The work, day to day

  • Greet guests, seat them and hand over menus within a minute of arrival.
  • Explain specials, allergens and wine pairings in plain words.
  • Clear, wipe and reset tables fast during the Friday and Sunday rush.
  • Restock the bar fridges and help with the weekly stock count.
  • Check back two minutes after mains land and fix problems on the spot.

You'll need

  • Quick with basic maths and card machines
  • Own transport or a safe way home after late shifts
  • You can stand and walk for a full 8-hour shift
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric is a plus
  • You speak clear English and can chat easily with guests
  • Neat grooming and a friendly manner under pressure

Helpful, not essential

  • A barista course certificate or latte-art skills
  • Responsible Service of Alcohol training
  • A second language such as isiZulu, isiXhosa or Afrikaans

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): contact details for your last restaurant manager plus a one-page CV with a recent photo.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.
