Job Description

You'll look after tables at a beachfront cocktail bar in Newcastle, from the first greeting to the final bill. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

The site is in Newcastle; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

What your day looks like

  • Set tables, polish cutlery and glasses, and check condiments before doors open.
  • Pull espresso shots and steam milk for flat whites and cappuccinos.
  • Carry plates to the right seat without auctioning food at the table.
  • Explain specials, allergens and wine pairings in plain words.
  • Check back two minutes after mains land and fix problems on the spot.

What you need

  • At least 6 months of waitering, bar or coffee shop experience
  • Quick with basic maths and card machines
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric is a plus
  • Neat grooming and a friendly manner under pressure

On offer

  • Uniform supplied and laundered
  • Late-shift lift home within a set radius
  • You keep your own tips, paid out daily or weekly

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  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, a one-page CV with a recent photo plus certified copy of your ID.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.
