Head Waiter (Family Restaurant)

You'll look after tables at a sports bar and grill in Roodepoort, from the first greeting to the final bill. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is in Roodepoort (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• 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.
• Explain specials, allergens and wine pairings in plain words.
• 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.

• Happy to work nights, weekends and public holidays
• Grade 10 or higher; matric is a plus
• You can stand and walk for a full 8-hour shift
• Own transport or a safe way home after late shifts

• Late-shift lift home within a set radius
• Staff meal on every shift
• Paid menu and wine tastings so you can sell with confidence

• Put the names of the restaurants you worked at and your average covers per shift at the top of your CV.
• Recruiters ask about a difficult table, so have one real story ready about how you turned it around.
