The Commis Chef supports the kitchen team with food preparation, basic cooking, portioning, plating, and maintaining clean, organized work areas. Candidates are generally expected to have culinary training or relevant kitchen experience, although motivated entry-level applicants may be considered. A sound understanding of food hygiene, sanitation, safe equipment use, and basic cooking techniques is important. The role requires stamina, attention to detail, teamwork, discipline, and flexibility to work rotating shifts, weekends, and holidays. The successful candidate should follow recipes and instructions accurately, maintain Shangri-La’s quality standards, manage ingredients responsibly, and remain calm in a busy hotel kitchen.

Employees typically work in an international environment with structured operating procedures, training opportunities, staff meals, and employment benefits that vary by property and contract. A Commis Chef joining Shangri-La can gain practical experience in professional kitchens, including buffet, à la carte, banqueting, pastry, or specialty restaurant operations. The company generally values teamwork, genuine hospitality, personal presentation, food safety, and continuous improvement.
The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities throughout Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Bohol, and other popular islands. Hotels and resorts regularly recruit chefs, kitchen assistants, servers, housekeepers, front-office staff, and dive or watersports professionals, with demand increasing during peak travel seasons. Filipino culture is generally welcoming, family-oriented, and community-minded; English is widely used in workplaces. Island living can provide beaches, outdoor activities, affordable local food, and a relaxed social atmosphere, although transport, healthcare, internet, and supply availability may be less convenient outside major cities. Filipino citizens can work without a visa but must meet the employer’s hiring requirements. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored Alien Employment Permit and an appropriate work visa, commonly a 9(g) pre-arranged employment visa. Secure a written offer and confirm accommodation, transport, insurance, and permit responsibilities before relocating.
