About the job Waiter / Waitress (Cape Winelands) Permanent
We're looking for a warm, professional waiter or waitress to join our front-of-house team. If you enjoy working with people, take pride in great service, and thrive in a busy restaurant environment — we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing
- Welcome guests to your section, hand out menus and wine lists, and make sure everyone feels looked after from the moment they sit down.
- Know the menu inside out — including key ingredients and how dishes are prepared — so you can confidently answer questions and make recommendations.
- Set up and maintain tables — linen, cutlery, glassware — keeping everything neat and guest-ready throughout your shift.
- Take food and drink orders accurately using the POS system and ensure they reach the kitchen and bar promptly and correctly.
- Clear used crockery and cutlery between courses, offer desserts and coffee, and upsell where appropriate.
- Process bills accurately and ensure the restaurant floor, fixtures, and your uniform are always clean and presentable.
What We're Looking For
- Grade 12 certificate.
- At least 3 years of experience as a waiter or waitress in a similar setting (5 years for a Senior Waiter position).
- Basic knowledge of wine and the surrounding wine regions.
- Hands-on experience with a cash register and POS ordering system.
- Good communication skills and a natural ability to connect with guests.
- Patient, attentive, and comfortable working with a distinguished, high-end clientele.
- Well-presented, reliable, and flexible — with a positive, enthusiastic attitude.
- Basic maths skills for handling bills and cash.
