Waiter / Waitress (Evening Shift)

You'll look after tables at a busy mall coffee shop in Durban Central, from the first greeting to the final bill. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The site is in Durban Central; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.
