The Executive Chinese Chef is expected to lead the Chinese culinary operation, develop authentic and contemporary menus, maintain Shangri-La’s food-quality and presentation standards, and manage kitchen costs, purchasing, hygiene, and staff performance. Candidates should have substantial experience in high-end hotels or restaurants, strong knowledge of Chinese regional cuisines, excellent leadership and training skills, and a sound understanding of HACCP and food-safety procedures. Fluency in English is generally required, while Mandarin or Bahasa Indonesia would be advantageous. The successful candidate should be creative, commercially aware, organised, calm under pressure, and committed to delivering consistently memorable guest experiences.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a luxury hospitality group headquartered in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts, residences, and related businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international markets. The brand is known for personalised Asian-inspired hospitality, high service standards, quality dining, and comprehensive guest facilities. Its Indonesian properties have traditionally served business travellers, leisure guests, families, and international events, with extensive restaurants and banquet operations. Employees generally work in structured, multicultural environments with opportunities for professional training and career development. Compensation packages may include service charge, meals, uniform, medical benefits, accommodation or housing support, annual leave, and relocation assistance, although exact benefits depend on the property and employment contract.
Indonesia offers hospitality opportunities across Java, Bali, Lombok, Batam, and other islands, particularly in luxury hotels, resorts, restaurants, and events. Bali is the most internationally oriented destination, with a relaxed lifestyle, strong tourism culture, and many expatriate communities, while Jakarta and Surabaya provide larger business and dining markets. Local culture values respect, teamwork, modesty, and religious diversity; learning basic Bahasa Indonesia is highly useful. Living costs vary, with Bali’s popular areas often more expensive than provincial cities. Foreign employees normally need employer-sponsored work authorisation, including the appropriate work permit and KITAS, before starting employment. Candidates should confirm tax, accommodation, insurance, flights, and leave provisions in writing. Indonesia’s climate is tropical, and transport, healthcare, and infrastructure can differ considerably between islands, so researching the specific hotel location is important before relocating.
