Restaurant Waitron (Steakhouse)

Good service at a beachfront cocktail bar in Worcester starts with you: friendly, quick and on top of every order. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The work is in Worcester, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.
