The Commis supports the kitchen team in preparing food for Shangri-La residences, including ingredient preparation, basic cooking, plating and maintaining clean work areas. Candidates should ideally have kitchen training, hospitality experience or a strong willingness to learn. Basic food-safety knowledge, good physical stamina and the ability to follow recipes and instructions are expected. The successful candidate should work neatly, cooperate with chefs and colleagues, manage tasks efficiently during busy periods and maintain Shangri-La’s standards for hygiene, quality and guest service. Flexibility to work shifts, weekends and public holidays is normally required. Previous experience in a hotel or resort kitchen is helpful but may not be essential for a daily-worker position.
Shangri-La is a major luxury hospitality group founded in Asia and known for hotels, resorts and residences across the world. Its properties typically combine premium accommodation with restaurants, wellness facilities, event services and attentive, personalised guest care. The company operates in destinations throughout Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and beyond, with a strong focus on service excellence, cultural understanding and professional development. In Indonesia, Shangri-La has established a reputation for upscale city and resort hospitality, serving both international travellers and local guests. Employees commonly work in multicultural teams and follow structured standards covering food safety, guest service, presentation and operational efficiency. A Commis role offers practical experience in a professional hotel kitchen and may provide opportunities to progress into Demi Chef, Chef de Partie and other culinary positions.
Indonesia offers varied hospitality opportunities across Bali, Java, Lombok, Batam and other islands. Bali has the largest concentration of international resorts and restaurants, although competition and living costs are high. Java provides opportunities in major cities such as Jakarta, Surabaya and Bandung, while Lombok and smaller islands offer resort work in a quieter setting. Indonesian culture values politeness, community, religious respect and warm personal service. Lifestyle ranges from busy urban living to beach-oriented communities, with affordable local food and transport but variable infrastructure. Foreign workers normally need employer sponsorship and the appropriate Indonesian work and stay permits; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Relocation should include confirmed accommodation, medical cover, transport arrangements and contract details. Learn basic Bahasa Indonesia, respect local customs and check regional rules, especially concerning ceremonies, dress and alcohol.
