Responsibilities also include coaching culinary colleagues, monitoring inventory and purchasing, controlling labor and food costs, coordinating with service departments, and ensuring compliance with Shangri-La standards and Philippine regulations.
Shangri-La is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts, residences, and related businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international destinations. The company is known for warm Asian hospitality, premium guest service, distinctive dining, and high standards in accommodation and resort experiences. Shangri-La properties in the Philippines include major city and resort destinations, serving leisure travelers, business guests, families, and conference clients. Employees generally work in structured, multicultural environments with strong emphasis on service excellence, operational discipline, training, and guest satisfaction. Culinary roles may involve several restaurants, banqueting, room service, and specialty dining concepts. Benefits vary by property but can include service charge, meals, uniforms, medical coverage, training, staff rates, and career opportunities within the wider Shangri-La network.
The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Davao, and other resort areas, particularly in hotels, restaurants, cruises, events, and tourism services. The culture is welcoming, family-oriented, and strongly influenced by Malay, Spanish, American, and regional traditions. English is widely used in workplaces, while Filipino and local languages are common in daily life. Lifestyle varies from busy metropolitan living to relaxed coastal communities; housing and transport costs are usually lower outside Manila, though island locations may have limited services. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly an Alien Employment Permit together with a 9(g) pre-arranged employment visa. Employers often assist with documentation, medical checks, accommodation, and relocation. Candidates should confirm visa support, salary, service charge, housing, taxes, and contract conditions before accepting an offer.
