Wine Steward (Fine Dining) – Experienced

You'll look after tables at a wine farm restaurant in Khayelitsha, from the first greeting to the final bill. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The site is in Khayelitsha; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Greet guests, seat them and hand over menus within a minute of arrival.
• Check back two minutes after mains land and fix problems on the spot.
• Restock the bar fridges and help with the weekly stock count.
• Pull espresso shots and steam milk for flat whites and cappuccinos.

• Neat grooming and a friendly manner under pressure
• Quick with basic maths and card machines
