The Sous Chef (Banquet) supports the Executive Chef and leads banquet kitchen operations, including menu preparation, food production, plating, and service for weddings, conferences, and other events. Candidates should have culinary training and several years of professional kitchen experience, preferably in a luxury hotel or high-volume banquet environment. Strong knowledge of food safety, hygiene, portion control, costing, and international cuisine is expected. The role requires leadership, organization, creativity, and the ability to work under pressure while coordinating closely with service and event teams. Flexibility to work shifts, weekends, and holidays is essential, along with a professional attitude and commitment to Shangri-La standards.
Shangri-La is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts, and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other markets. The company is known for warm Asian hospitality, high service standards, elegant accommodations, and extensive food and beverage operations. In the Philippines, Shangri-La properties include major city hotels and resort destinations, serving business travelers, vacation guests, and large events. Employees typically work in an international environment with structured operating procedures, training opportunities, and strong emphasis on guest satisfaction, teamwork, and professional presentation. A Sous Chef joining Shangri-La would be expected to maintain consistent culinary quality, support banquet events efficiently, manage kitchen colleagues, and uphold food safety and luxury-service standards.
The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Metro Manila and nearby Luzon destinations provide the greatest number of hotel, restaurant, catering, and events jobs, while Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, and Bohol are popular for resort careers. Filipino culture is friendly, family-oriented, and strongly influenced by Spanish, American, and Asian traditions; English is widely used in workplaces. Lifestyle varies from busy urban living to relaxed island communities, with generally warm weather, affordable local food, and active beach and outdoor scenes. Foreign workers normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and an appropriate visa, while Filipino applicants may relocate using standard domestic employment arrangements. Before moving, candidates should confirm salary, accommodation, transportation, medical coverage, working hours, and probation terms. Major cities have better international transport and services, whereas resort locations may offer housing but fewer amenities.
