Waiter / Waitress (Evening Shift) – Permanent

Good service at a beachfront cocktail bar in Johannesburg CBD starts with you: friendly, quick and on top of every order. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

You'll report in Johannesburg CBD. Relocation is not covered for this one. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.
