Job Description

You'll look after tables at a beachfront cocktail bar in Worcester, from the first greeting to the final bill. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

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

The work, day to day

  • Set tables, polish cutlery and glasses, and check condiments before doors open.
  • 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.
  • Clear, wipe and reset tables fast during the Friday and Sunday rush.
  • Take orders on the POS tablet and read them back to avoid kitchen mistakes.

What you need

  • 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
  • Neat grooming and a friendly manner under pressure

Nice if you have

  • A second language such as isiZulu, isiXhosa or Afrikaans
  • A barista course certificate or latte-art skills

What you get

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

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Worcester really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: a one-page CV with a recent photo, your food handler or barista certificate, if you have one 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. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.

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

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

  • Recruiters ask about a difficult table, so have one real story ready about how you turned it around.
  • Walk in with your CV between 2pm and 4pm when managers have time, not during lunch or dinner service.
