The Restaurant Manager will oversee the daily operation of a Chinese cuisine restaurant at Shangri-La, maintaining high standards of food quality, service, guest satisfaction and profitability. Candidates should have several years of experience managing an upscale Chinese or Asian restaurant, strong knowledge of service procedures, staffing, inventory control and cost management, and excellent communication skills in English. Knowledge of Chinese culinary traditions and additional languages would be advantageous. The role requires an energetic, guest-focused leader who can train and motivate a multicultural team, resolve complaints professionally, coordinate with the kitchen and support departments, and ensure compliance with hygiene, safety and company standards. Flexibility to work shifts, weekends and public holidays is expected.
Shangri-La Group is a leading luxury hospitality company founded in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and other international markets. Its properties are known for personalised service, elegant surroundings and strong attention to guest experience. In the United Arab Emirates, Shangri-La operates prominent luxury hotels, including Shangri-La Dubai and Shangri-La Hotel, Qaryat Al Beri in Abu Dhabi. The group offers restaurants covering a range of international cuisines, supported by professional culinary, service and hotel management teams. Employees generally work in multicultural environments with structured training, career development and international hospitality standards. A Restaurant Manager joining the group would be expected to protect the brand’s service reputation while achieving operational, financial and guest-satisfaction targets.
The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates rather than an island, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi offering the largest concentration of hospitality jobs. Opportunities are available in luxury hotels, restaurants, resorts, catering, events and tourism, particularly for experienced international candidates. The culture combines Islamic traditions with a highly international lifestyle; modest dress and respectful behaviour are important, especially during Ramadan. Residents enjoy modern shopping, beaches, desert activities, dining and strong public infrastructure, although summers are extremely hot. Employers normally sponsor an employment visa, residence permit and medical testing after a formal offer; candidates should not work on a tourist visa. Relocation packages may include accommodation or an allowance, transport, health insurance and annual flights. Costs are high in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, so accommodation terms and benefits should be reviewed carefully before accepting an offer.
