Typical duties may include checking order details, preparing items for dispatch, communicating courteously with guests and colleagues, handling payments or delivery records where required, and keeping work areas and equipment tidy. Applicants should be reliable, physically fit, punctual and comfortable working on their feet. Good customer-service skills, attention to detail and a responsible attitude are expected.

Cantonese and basic English would be useful in Hong Kong.
Can I work in Hong Kong?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Hotel line jobs only via the Labour Department's import scheme: 4-week local test, median wage, 2 local staff per import; managers get a General Employment Policy visa.
Watch for: Since 16 June 2026 kitchen and table-service jobs need a 6-week local test and 3 local staff per import; the hotel applies, you cannot apply yourself.
Official source: Labour Department: Enhanced Supplementary Labour Scheme. Checked November 2026.
