The Waiter/Waitress is responsible for welcoming guests, taking food and beverage orders, serving meals and drinks, clearing tables, processing payments, and maintaining high standards of cleanliness and service. Candidates should have previous experience in a hotel, restaurant, or similar guest-service environment, strong communication skills, a professional appearance, and good English. Knowledge of additional languages and familiarity with international dining standards are advantageous. The successful candidate is expected to be courteous, attentive, reliable, and able to work efficiently under pressure. Flexibility to work shifts, weekends, and public holidays is essential. A genuine interest in hospitality and a willingness to support colleagues are also important.
Shangri-La is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts, and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and North America.

Shangri-La hotels in the United Arab Emirates serve international leisure and business travellers and typically offer restaurants, lounges, banqueting facilities, wellness services, and extensive guest amenities. Employees work in a multicultural environment where presentation, teamwork, courtesy, and attention to detail are highly valued.

The United Arab Emirates is not an island but a federation of seven emirates, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Ras Al Khaimah. It offers strong opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, events, retail, aviation, and luxury services. The culture combines Islamic traditions, Emirati customs, and a highly international population. Respectful dress, public behaviour, religious practices, and local laws are important. Lifestyle varies from busy city living and shopping to beaches, desert activities, and quieter resort communities. Employers normally sponsor work visas, residence permits, medical checks, and identity documentation for overseas hires; employees should never work on a tourist visa. Contracts may include accommodation, transport, meals, health insurance, and return airfare. Before relocating, confirm salary, working hours, gratuity, accommodation, probation terms, and visa sponsorship in writing. Living costs can be high, especially in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, so budgeting is essential.
