The Executive Chinese Chef is responsible for leading the Chinese kitchen operation, developing authentic and innovative menus, maintaining consistently high food quality, and controlling food costs. Requirements typically include extensive Chinese culinary experience, preferably in a luxury hotel or resort, strong knowledge of regional Chinese cuisines, HACCP and food-safety standards, menu engineering, purchasing, and kitchen cost control. The candidate should demonstrate excellent leadership, staff-training, communication, and organisational skills. Shangri-La expects a hands-on professional who can maintain high service standards, work effectively with multicultural teams, manage busy operations, and deliver memorable dining experiences while meeting financial and guest-satisfaction targets.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts, and city properties across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international markets. The company is recognised for warm Asian hospitality, high service standards, destination dining, wellness facilities, and carefully designed guest experiences. Shangri-La properties commonly provide structured training, career-development opportunities, staff meals, accommodation or housing support in selected locations, medical benefits, and service-related incentives. In Indonesia, the group has operated prominent hotels and resorts serving business and leisure travellers. Employees are generally expected to uphold Shangri-La’s service culture, collaborate across departments, protect food and guest-safety standards, and contribute to an inclusive, professional workplace.
Indonesia offers opportunities for experienced chefs in Jakarta, Bali, Lombok, Batam, and other resort destinations, particularly in luxury hotels, restaurants, villas, and cruise-related hospitality. Bali has an international, tourism-focused lifestyle with strong cultural traditions, temples, ceremonies, beaches, and a large expatriate community. Jakarta is busier and more corporate, while Lombok and smaller islands offer a quieter environment but fewer services. Costs vary considerably; accommodation and transport are usually more expensive in major tourist areas. Foreign employees generally need employer sponsorship, an approved work permit, and the appropriate limited-stay visa, with the employer handling much of the process. Candidates should confirm salary, accommodation, meals, insurance, flights, tax, and contract terms before relocating. Respectful dress, religious customs, local etiquette, and workplace hierarchy are important.
