F&B service from the Philippines

Every hotel outlet, beach club, banquet hall and coffee chain in the UAE needs the same profile: service staff who read a guest, move fast and speak English without effort. Filipino F&B staff come through TESDA Food and Beverage Services NC II, hotel schools and cruise-line contracts — the cruise lines being the best training ground for volume banqueting there is.

How we test

A service scenario with upsell and complaint for waiters, a speed and accuracy test for bartenders, a full coffee test for baristas, a banquet set-up task for banquet staff — at Prime Search's facilities in Makati, watched live by your F&B manager. Everything here is subject to applicable UAE MoHRE or free-zone, licensing, attestation and visa requirements.

Sponsorship

On the UAE side, your company is the sponsor: a signed job offer, MoHRE work-permit approval (or the free-zone equivalent), an entry permit valid sixty days, then medical, Emirates ID biometrics, contract registration and the residence visa — typically two to four weeks once documents are complete. Roles are classified by MoHRE skill level; levels 1–2 require an attested degree, levels 3–4 a diploma. Our UAE company, licensed for HR consultancy in Dubai, advises on classification, attestation and Emiratisation standing and coordinates the sequence with your PRO — it does not place or supply workers, and the employment relationship is yours.
