The Commis I supports the Main Kitchen team with food preparation, basic cooking, plating, portion control, and maintaining high standards of hygiene and food safety. Candidates should ideally have culinary training or relevant kitchen experience, although fresh graduates with a strong interest in hospitality may be considered. The role requires reliability, teamwork, physical stamina, willingness to work shifts, and the ability to follow recipes and instructions accurately. Candidates are expected to keep work areas and equipment clean, assist senior chefs, manage ingredients carefully, and comply with Shangri-La’s service and safety standards. Cantonese, English, or both may be useful in the kitchen environment.
Shangri-La is a luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong and recognised for its hotels, resorts, restaurants, and personalised service across Asia and international markets. The group operates properties under brands including Shangri-La, Kerry Hotels, JEN, and Traders. Its hotels are known for high service standards, extensive dining operations, strong guest care, and structured training for employees. In Hong Kong, Shangri-La properties serve business and leisure travellers and typically offer opportunities across culinary, rooms, events, guest services, and corporate functions. Employees may receive benefits such as staff meals, uniforms, training, medical coverage, annual leave, and discounted stays, depending on the property and employment contract. A Commis I position offers an entry-level route into professional hotel kitchens, with potential progression to Demi Chef, Chef de Partie, and more senior culinary roles.
Hong Kong is a compact, energetic city with excellent public transport, a major international airport, and a strong hospitality and tourism sector. Job opportunities are available in hotels, restaurants, catering, retail, events, aviation, finance, and technology. The culture blends Cantonese traditions with international influences; politeness, punctuality, teamwork, and respect for hierarchy are valued at work. Lifestyle options range from dense urban districts and shopping areas to beaches, hiking trails, outlying islands, and lively food markets. Rent can be high, especially near central business districts, so many workers choose shared accommodation or live in Kowloon or the New Territories. Foreign nationals generally need an approved employment visa before starting work, with the employer usually sponsoring the application. Candidates should confirm salary, accommodation, medical benefits, visa support, and working hours directly with the employer before relocating.
