The successful candidate is expected to maintain Shangri-La’s quality standards, handle ingredients responsibly, minimise waste, keep equipment clean, and contribute to a smooth and efficient kitchen operation.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts, and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international markets. Its Philippines properties are known for high-quality accommodation, dining, leisure facilities, and attentive service. Shangri-La places strong emphasis on guest satisfaction, employee development, teamwork, and professional hospitality standards. Depending on the property, employees may receive benefits such as service charge, meals, uniforms, medical coverage, training, and staff accommodation or transport support. Working for the group can provide useful experience in international hotel operations, particularly for culinary professionals building a long-term career in resorts, restaurants, and luxury hospitality.
The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities across Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Bohol, and other resort destinations. Hotels, restaurants, cruise operations, and tourism businesses regularly hire kitchen staff, with stronger seasonal demand in popular beach locations. Filipino workplace culture is generally friendly, respectful, and team-oriented, while English is widely used in hotels and restaurants. Life on the islands can be relaxed and affordable, although remote locations may have higher prices and fewer services than major cities. Employees should expect tropical weather, busy holiday periods, and possible island transport limitations. Foreign workers normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, while Filipino citizens require standard employment documents. Before relocating, confirm accommodation, transport, medical cover, contract terms, and whether airfare or relocation assistance is provided.
