The Executive Chinese Chef leads the Chinese culinary operation, creating authentic, high-quality menus while maintaining Shangri-La’s standards for taste, presentation, hygiene, and cost control. Candidates should have substantial experience in luxury hotels, resorts, or high-end Chinese restaurants, with strong knowledge of Cantonese or regional Chinese cuisine. The role requires proven leadership, menu planning, purchasing, staff training, inventory management, and compliance with food-safety regulations. Fluency in English is generally expected, while Mandarin or other Chinese-language skills may be advantageous. The successful candidate is expected to be creative, commercially aware, disciplined, and capable of developing a multicultural kitchen team while delivering consistently excellent guest experiences.
Shangri-La is a luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong and operating hotels, resorts, and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international markets. The brand is known for warm Asian hospitality, refined service, comprehensive guest facilities, and strong food-and-beverage operations. Shangri-La properties typically include restaurants, bars, banqueting venues, spas, pools, and business or leisure facilities. In Indonesia, the group has operated prominent properties serving both domestic and international guests. Employees usually work in a structured, multicultural environment with opportunities for professional training and career development. Culinary roles are expected to uphold high standards of consistency, sanitation, presentation, guest service, and financial performance while reflecting the individual hotel’s market and concept.
Indonesia offers diverse hospitality opportunities across Bali, Java, Lombok, Batam, and other resort destinations. Bali has the largest concentration of international hotels, restaurants, and tourism businesses, while Jakarta and Surabaya provide stronger corporate and urban career markets. Chinese cuisine is popular in major cities and luxury resorts, creating demand for experienced chefs. Lifestyle varies from busy metropolitan living to relaxed coastal communities, with tropical weather, rich local traditions, religious diversity, and generally lower living costs than many international destinations. Foreign nationals normally require an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate limited-stay work visa; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Employers may assist with immigration, accommodation, meals, flights, insurance, and relocation, but this should be confirmed in writing. Candidates should check current Indonesian immigration rules, tax obligations, healthcare access, and local employment regulations before accepting an offer.
