All-Round Hospitality Employee

Orchid House is looking for an enthusiastic and versatile All-Round Hospitality Employee to join our team.

We are looking for someone who enjoys working with people, takes pride in good service and is comfortable taking on a variety of responsibilities across front-of-house, bar and food preparation.

What will you do?

Your role will be varied and hands-on. Depending on the day, your responsibilities may include:

• Welcoming and serving guests
• Taking and serving food and drink orders
• Preparing and serving beverages
• Assisting with mise en place and light kitchen duties
• Setting up and maintaining outdoor cooking and braai areas
• Preparing grilled meats, side dishes and other menu items
• Restocking supplies and keeping work areas clean and organised
• Supporting events and special hospitality moments at Orchid House

Who are we looking for?

You are practical, guest-focused and comfortable working in a dynamic hospitality environment.

Ideally, you:

• Have previous experience in hospitality, catering or events
• Enjoy working both front-of-house and with food
• Have experience with grilling, open-fire cooking or braai-style cooking
• Are confident working independently when needed
• Work well under pressure
• Are friendly, reliable and proactive
• Are flexible and available for evenings and weekends
• Understand food hygiene and safe food handling

A strong advantage

Experience with traditional braai is a definite advantage.

We especially appreciate candidates who are familiar with techniques such as managing a wood or charcoal fire, grilling different cuts of meat and preparing dishes or accompaniments such as boerewors, sosaties, braaibroodjies or chakalaka.

Formal culinary training is not required; practical experience, confidence around the fire and a genuine interest in food are more important to us.

What do we offer?

• A varied role within Orchid House
• A friendly and informal working environment
• A combination of service, bar and food-related responsibilities
• Opportunities to contribute ideas for food, events and guest experiences
• Competitive compensation based on experience and availability

Interested?

Tell us a little about your hospitality experience, your availability and any experience you have with grilling, open-fire cooking or braai-style food.

We look forward to hearing from you.
