The Chef de Cuisine leads the All Day Dining kitchen, overseeing menu planning, food preparation, presentation, quality, hygiene and daily operations. Candidates should have substantial experience in a high-end hotel or busy restaurant kitchen, strong knowledge of international cuisine, food safety standards and kitchen cost control. Formal culinary training and supervisory experience are normally expected. Shangri-La will look for an organised, creative and hands-on leader who can coach a multicultural team, maintain consistent standards during busy service periods, manage purchasing and minimise waste. The role also requires flexibility for shifts, weekends and public holidays, excellent communication skills, and a commitment to delivering refined guest experiences.

Its portfolio includes the Shangri-La, Kerry, JEN and Traders brands. The group is known for personalised service, Asian-inspired hospitality and strong standards in accommodation, dining and guest wellbeing. In Hong Kong, Shangri-La operates prestigious properties including Island Shangri-La and Kowloon Shangri-La, offering extensive restaurants, banquet facilities and luxury services. The company employs colleagues from many nationalities and supports structured learning, career development and internal mobility. Culinary roles are typically based in sophisticated, high-volume kitchens serving hotel guests, local diners, events and international visitors.
Hong Kong offers strong opportunities for experienced chefs through luxury hotels, independent restaurants, private clubs, catering companies and large-scale events. The food culture is exceptionally diverse, combining Cantonese traditions with Japanese, Southeast Asian, European and modern international cuisine. Life is energetic and convenient, with excellent public transport, late-opening shops, hiking trails, beaches and a vibrant dining scene. Housing is expensive, especially on Hong Kong Island and in central Kowloon, so many employees live farther from work or share accommodation. Foreign professionals generally need an employment visa sponsored by their employer, with approval based on qualifications, a confirmed job and market-level pay. Applicants should prepare passports, certificates, references and health or background documents where requested. Employers may provide medical insurance, meals, accommodation assistance, relocation support or a discretionary service charge, but packages vary. Cantonese is widely spoken, while English is common in hotels and business.
