Job Description

Good service at a busy mall coffee shop in George starts with you: friendly, quick and on top of every order. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

You'll report in George. Relocation is not covered for this one.

The work, day to day

  • Set tables, polish cutlery and glasses, and check condiments before doors open.
  • Take orders on the POS tablet and read them back to avoid kitchen mistakes.
  • Refuse service to anyone under 18 or visibly drunk, as the Liquor Act requires.
  • Clear, wipe and reset tables fast during the Friday and Sunday rush.
  • Carry plates to the right seat without auctioning food at the table.

Must-haves

  • Quick with basic maths and card machines
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric is a plus
  • Neat grooming and a friendly manner under pressure
  • You speak clear English and can chat easily with guests
  • Happy to work nights, weekends and public holidays

Nice if you have

  • Wine knowledge from a WSET Level 1 or wine farm stint
  • A barista course certificate or latte-art skills

What's in it for you

  • Late-shift lift home within a set radius
  • Paid menu and wine tastings so you can sell with confidence
  • Staff meal on every shift
  • Uniform supplied and laundered

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): 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. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.
