Job Description

Guests at this beachfront cocktail bar in Mthatha come back for the people, and you'll be one of the reasons. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll be based at a beachfront cocktail bar in Mthatha. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

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.
  • Clear, wipe and reset tables fast during the Friday and Sunday rush.
  • Greet guests, seat them and hand over menus within a minute of arrival.
  • Split bills, process card payments and handle tip-outs at the end of shift.

Must-haves

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

What you get

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

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: your food handler or barista certificate, if you have one 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. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.

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

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

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