Barista

Looking for your next move as a Barista in Prieska? A role has just opened that gives you real responsibility and a clear path forward in Northern Cape.

About the Opportunity

The Barista vacancy forms part of how the Prieska branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the hospitality jobs side of the business moving forward.

Beyond that, the role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Prieska operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the hospitality jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Prieska much easier.

Why This Role

You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Prieska colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the hospitality jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.

Notably, the company reinvests in its people: paid training, internal moves and the chance to take on bigger projects are all part of how careers in Prieska keep progressing.

Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Prieska teams.

Equal Opportunity

Beyond that, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Northern Cape.

B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.

A Typical Day

Your shift usually starts with a brief from the duty manager, a quick station check and a look at the day’s bookings or specials. As guests arrive, you slip into a steady rhythm — warm welcomes, accurate orders and seamless coordination with the kitchen and bar. Service peaks demand calm focus and tight teamwork, and quieter moments are spent resetting tables, polishing glassware or training a new starter. When the last guest leaves happy, you know you have delivered a memorable hospitality experience.

Importantly, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Northern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.

Practically speaking, the Prieska office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.

Your Role

• Train casual staff on service standards and SOPs
• Welcome guests warmly and ensure a smooth check-in and check-out experience
• Take orders accurately and deliver food and beverages to standard
• Manage stock, breakages and consumables for your section
• Drive guest satisfaction scores and online review ratings

Minimum Requirements

• Relevant hospitality qualification or culinary diploma (advantageous)
• Clear criminal record and contactable references
• Sound knowledge of food safety and HACCP principles
• Ability to remain calm and gracious under pressure
• 1-3 years’ experience in a similar hospitality environment
• Awareness of tourism grading and quality expectations
