By chefs, for chefs, our mission is to raise the standard of professional kitchens in the Philippines by combining culinary expertise with engineering, equipment innovation, and practical kitchen solutions.

You will also lead culinary demonstrations, equipment training, and product testing while representing Manila Kitchens and our partner brands.

Culinary Consultancy & Kitchen Planning

* Collaborate with design and engineering teams to develop practical, chef-driven kitchen solutions.

* Support clients in menu development, kitchen setup, and operational readiness.

Product Demonstrations & Training

* Lead live cooking demonstrations and equipment presentations for customers, dealers, and industry partners.

* Conduct hands-on equipment training for customers and their kitchen teams.

* Develop recipes and cooking applications that demonstrate equipment capabilities and performance.

Sales & Business Development Support

* Work with the sales team during client consultations, presentations, and technical discussions.

* Help customers understand the operational and commercial value of our kitchen solutions.

* Represent Manila Kitchens at trade shows, culinary events, product launches, and customer engagements.

Product Development & Innovation

* Participate in testing and evaluating commercial kitchen equipment.

* Provide culinary feedback to improve the functionality, performance, and usability of our products.

Qualifications

* Minimum of 5 years of professional culinary experience, preferably in hotels, restaurants, restaurant groups, or foodservice operations.

* Strong understanding of commercial kitchen operations, equipment, food preparation workflows, and kitchen efficiency.

* Experience in kitchen management, menu development, and culinary training.

* Strong communication and presentation skills, with confidence in conducting live demonstrations and interacting with clients.

* Commercially minded, resourceful, and comfortable working with cross-functional teams.

* Experience as an Executive Chef, Corporate Chef, Culinary Trainer, or similar position is an advantage.

* Experience with commercial kitchen equipment brands, culinary demonstrations, or foodservice consultancy is a plus.

What We're Looking For

We want someone who understands that a great commercial kitchen is not just about cooking good food. It's about designing systems that allow chefs and kitchen teams to operate efficiently, consistently, and profitably.

You should be equally comfortable working behind a stove, consulting with business owners, demonstrating equipment, and collaborating with engineers and designers.

Above all, we are looking for a chef who enjoys sharing knowledge, solving problems, and contributing to the development of better professional kitchens.

This is an opportunity to apply your culinary experience beyond traditional restaurant operations and help shape the future of commercial kitchens in the Philippines.
