Job Description

Good service at a hotel restaurant in Atlantis starts with you: friendly, quick and on top of every order. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

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

What you'll actually do

Refuse service to anyone under 18 or visibly drunk, as the Liquor Act requires.
Carry plates to the right seat without auctioning food at the table.
Set tables, polish cutlery and glasses, and check condiments before doors open.
Check back two minutes after mains land and fix problems on the spot.
Take orders on the POS tablet and read them back to avoid kitchen mistakes.
Split bills, process card payments and handle tip-outs at the end of shift.

Must-haves

Own transport or a safe way home after late shifts
Neat grooming and a friendly manner under pressure
Grade 10 or higher; matric is a plus
At least 6 months of waitering, bar or coffee shop experience
Happy to work nights, weekends and public holidays

Helpful, not essential

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

On offer

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

How to apply for this job

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): certified copy of your ID, contact details for your last restaurant manager 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.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Atlantis; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

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.
