Job Description

Good service at a sports bar and grill in Montague Gardens starts with you: friendly, quick and on top of every order. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll be based at a sports bar and grill in Montague Gardens. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

The work, day to day

  • Split bills, process card payments and handle tip-outs at the end of shift.
  • Check back two minutes after mains land and fix problems on the spot.
  • Restock the bar fridges and help with the weekly stock count.
  • 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.

Must-haves

  • Neat grooming and a friendly manner under pressure
  • You speak clear English and can chat easily with guests
  • Own transport or a safe way home after late shifts
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric is a plus
  • At least 6 months of waitering, bar or coffee shop experience

What you get

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

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 certified copy of your ID.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 7 working days.
