Pay it forward! BEERHOUSE waitress gets R18,000 tip

June 21, 2019 / admin / 4 Comments

Meet Ayanda, the waitress that made an R18 000 tip.

It was a night like any other at Beerhouse and a very special patron, who wishes their identity to remain anonymous, was simply enjoying a night out with friends.
Once the bill came our patron decided that this was the moment to Pay it Forward, the bill being R1 320 the patron decided to make it R20 000 as an once-off act of kindness and that she believes Ayanda will use the money for good. “I have no want to reverse this, no second thoughts about it and I was of sound mind when deciding to leave this tip.” says the patron in a private whatsapp message to Randolf Jorberg, the owner of Beerhouse.

Ayanda who was in disbelief of this incredible kindness called the duty manager immediately to try and talk the patron out of it but the patron refused saying that Ayanda’s service was amazing and that she deserved every last bit of that money.

Ayanda has big dreams to use this money to go back to school. She had to start working at a young age due to financials constraints when she was growing up. She was only eight months old when her parents got divorced which left her family in a tough financial situation. She wasn’t able to get to school because her mom was always working and didn’t complete her Matric.
Ayanda plans to attend a school in Alexandria where she can attend night classes so that she may complete her Matric. She has also expressed an interested in becoming a paramedic. In the meantime she has already started the process of getting her drivers licence.
She has been a part of the Beerhouse team since 2015 and has been a critical part of our Front of House team ever since.

Now that she has gotten the kick start that she has been dreaming of and her future is looking a brighter shade of yellow!
