The Executive Chinese Chef leads the Chinese kitchen operation, developing authentic menus, maintaining consistent food quality, controlling costs, and ensuring excellent guest experiences. Candidates should have extensive experience in Chinese cuisine, preferably in a luxury hotel, resort, or high-volume restaurant, with strong knowledge of Cantonese or regional Chinese cooking. The role requires proven leadership, menu-planning, purchasing, food-costing, and staff-development skills. A strong understanding of hygiene, HACCP standards, allergen control, and kitchen safety is expected. The successful candidate should be creative, commercially aware, calm under pressure, and able to train a multicultural culinary team while meeting Shangri-La's service and quality standards.
Shangri-La is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Asia and known for its hotels, resorts, restaurants, and distinctive service culture.

Shangri-La places strong emphasis on warm hospitality, attention to detail, guest wellbeing, culinary quality, and colleague development. Its hotels commonly provide extensive dining, events, leisure, and wellness facilities, creating opportunities for experienced chefs to work with international guests and multicultural teams. Employment packages vary by property and may include service charge, meals, accommodation or housing support, medical coverage, annual leave, and travel-related benefits. A senior culinary role with Shangri-La normally involves maintaining brand standards while adapting menus and operations to local ingredients, guest preferences, and the individual hotel's market.
Indonesia offers varied opportunities for hospitality professionals across Bali, Java, Lombok, Batam, and other resort islands. Luxury hotels and international resorts regularly recruit executive chefs, restaurant managers, engineering staff, and guest-service professionals, with tourism strongest in Bali and major urban centres. Local culture values courtesy, community, family, and religious diversity; workplace teams are often multicultural. Lifestyle ranges from busy city living to relaxed beach communities, although traffic, humidity, seasonal tourism, and variable infrastructure can affect daily life. Foreign employees generally need employer sponsorship and the appropriate work authorisation, commonly arranged through Indonesia's immigration and manpower processes before working. Requirements can include a passport, employment contract, qualifications, health documents, and police clearance. Candidates should confirm visa type, taxation, accommodation, insurance, flights, and dependent arrangements directly with Shangri-La before relocating.
