cooking activities, and prepare and cook meals and specialty foods. There is no specific educational requirement
for Chefs. However, most employers prefer to hire high school graduates, with
course in commercial food preparation. It is recommended for those planning a career
as a chef to enroll in culinary courses offered by various culinary schools.
Salaries of chefs vary considerably according

usually highest in elegant restaurants and hotels. The monthly salary of chefs for entry level
starts from P9,000 to 18,000. Advancement opportunities for chefs depend on
their training, work experience, and ability to perform more responsible and
sophisticated tasks. A number of them may advance to Sous-chef and Executive
chef, supervisory or management positions particularly in hotels, clubs, and
more elegant restaurants. Others go into business as caterers or restaurant
owners, while others become instructors in culinary schools. Employment growth will be spurred by increases
in population, household income, and leisure time that will allow people to dine
out and take vacations more often. In addition, growth in the number of
two-income households will lead more families to opt for the convenience of
dining out. There are likewise opportunities for overseas
employment in large hotels and on board luxury liners. A 4-year course in B.S. Hospitality Management
