The Commis Chef supports the kitchen team with food preparation, cooking, plating, stock handling, and maintaining clean, hygienic work areas. Candidates are generally expected to have culinary training or relevant kitchen experience, a genuine interest in hospitality, and basic knowledge of food safety and kitchen procedures. The role requires stamina, attention to detail, teamwork, discipline, and the ability to work quickly during busy service periods. Flexibility to work shifts, weekends, and public holidays is essential. Shangri-La would expect the successful candidate to follow recipes and standards carefully, respect workplace safety requirements, assist senior chefs, minimise waste, and contribute to a consistent guest dining experience.
Shangri-La is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts, and related properties across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international markets. Its Philippine properties are known for high-quality accommodation, restaurants, wellness facilities, leisure experiences, and attentive service. The company places strong emphasis on guest satisfaction, professional standards, teamwork, and employee development. Working as a Commis Chef within Shangri-La can provide practical experience in a structured international kitchen, exposure to several cuisines, and opportunities to progress into chef de partie and supervisory positions. Benefits vary by property and may include service charge, staff meals, uniforms, medical support, training, and accommodation or transport assistance. Exact duties, benefits, and salary depend on the hotel, location, candidate experience, and the terms stated in the employment offer.
The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Bohol, and other resort destinations. Hotels and restaurants regularly recruit chefs, kitchen assistants, servers, housekeepers, front-office staff, and recreation workers, although resort hiring can be seasonal and competition is strong. Filipino culture is generally warm, family-oriented, community-minded, and respectful, with English widely used in workplaces. Island life can be relaxed and scenic, with beaches, diving, local markets, festivals, and affordable food, but remote areas may have higher prices, limited transport, and occasional power or internet interruptions. Foreign workers normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, while Filipino applicants need standard employment and government documents. Relocating employees should confirm accommodation, service-charge arrangements, medical coverage, transport, working hours, and return travel before accepting an offer. Weather is tropical, with a dry season and a wetter typhoon season that varies by region.
