The Hilton ISEA F&B Masters consists of three rounds of competition: Hotel level, Regional level and the Finals. Since its inception in 2014, the Hilton ISEA F&B Masters has given team members across Southeast Asia and India the opportunity to develop their skills and benchmark themselves against the best in their chosen F&B discipline.

At the Hilton ISEA F&B Masters 2015/2016, more than 700 team members from 40 hotels created close to 1,200 unique recipes. The winners were rewarded with once-in-a-lifetime trips to Australia, Japan and Scotland, where they gained insights and invaluable experience from working alongside established culinary leaders.

This year’s Hilton ISEA F&B Masters winners can also look forward to exceptional experiences that will fuel their passion for F&B and give their craft an added dimension.
