Job Description

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

Location: Mthatha, Eastern Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What you'll actually do

  • Split bills, process card payments and handle tip-outs at the end of shift.
  • Clear, wipe and reset tables fast during the Friday and Sunday rush.
  • Mix cocktails, pour draught and serve shooters to spec at the bar.
  • Greet guests, seat them and hand over menus within a minute of arrival.
  • Refuse service to anyone under 18 or visibly drunk, as the Liquor Act requires.
  • Restock the bar fridges and help with the weekly stock count.

Must-haves

  • You speak clear English and can chat easily with guests
  • Neat grooming and a friendly manner under pressure
  • You can stand and walk for a full 8-hour shift
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric is a plus

Helpful, not essential

  • A second language such as isiZulu, isiXhosa or Afrikaans
  • Responsible Service of Alcohol training

On offer

  • You keep your own tips, paid out daily or weekly
  • Uniform supplied and laundered
  • Late-shift lift home within a set radius
  • Paid menu and wine tastings so you can sell with confidence
