This post requires some physical exertion. The postholder should have a strong backside which they are capable of sitting on for long periods.

Think you have what it takes? Then pop in and speak with the Restaurant Manager. He is employed to work at the restaurant from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, so you might catch him when he rolls in at 11am for ten minutes, and he usually wanders through again for a chat with some of his staff on his way to the shopping mall around 3pm.

The salary is six gallons a week. This is negotiable depending on experience and personal links with the Sultan.
