Tom to a person who works at a Hotel where his friend also works as a chef.

Pereon:- Andrew, who?

Tom:- "he is chef there in your Hotel" or "who 8s working as a chef there."

Please check.
 
Tom is talking to a person who works at a hotel where his friend also works as a chef.

Tom: Can I please talk to Andrew?

Person: Andrew? Who?

Tom: "He is ​a chef [STRIKE]there[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]in[/STRIKE] at your hotel" or "[STRIKE]who[/STRIKE] He [STRIKE]8s[/STRIKE] is working as a chef there."

Please check.

See above.
 
If he is the only chef, then the chef would work.
 
If he is the only chef, then the chef would work.

Absolutely. I only changed it to "a chef" because tufguy's first sentence said "where his friend also works as a chef", leading me to assume that he was not the only one.
 
Can I say "He works as the chef there"? Is there any point of using the present continuous in the aforementioned converstation?
 
Both the present simple and the present continuous work in that context. It would be natural and simple to just say "He's a/the chef there".

If he hasn't been there long or isn't planning to stay, the present continuous would be my form of choice.
 
Can we also say "he is serving as a chef there?"
