The Sous Chef (Banquet) supports the Executive Chef and leads banquet kitchen operations, including menu preparation, food production, service timing, portion control, and presentation. Candidates should have professional culinary experience, preferably in a hotel or large-scale banquet environment, with strong knowledge of food safety, hygiene, costing, and kitchen procedures. Culinary training and supervisory experience are normally expected. The successful candidate should be organized, dependable, and comfortable working under pressure during weddings, conferences, and major events. Good communication, team leadership, flexibility with shifts, and the ability to maintain Shangri-La’s quality and service standards are essential.
Shangri-La is a major luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts, residences, and related businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international markets. Its properties are known for personalized service, refined dining, wellness facilities, and strong destination experiences. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates established hotels and resorts, including properties in Manila, Cebu, and Boracay. The company places emphasis on genuine hospitality, professional development, teamwork, and high standards in guest service and food quality. Employees may receive benefits such as service charge, meals, uniforms, medical coverage, training, and discounted stays, although the exact package depends on the property and employment contract. A banquet Sous Chef can expect a structured hotel environment with opportunities to work on large functions and progress toward senior culinary leadership.
The Philippines offers culinary and hospitality opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Davao, and other resort destinations. Hotels, restaurants, cruise-related businesses, and event venues regularly seek chefs, kitchen supervisors, and experienced service staff. Filipino culture is welcoming, family-oriented, and community-focused, with English widely used in workplaces. Island living can offer warm weather, beaches, outdoor activities, and a relaxed social lifestyle, although traffic, seasonal weather, and varying infrastructure are practical considerations. Foreign nationals generally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate employment visa, commonly involving a Department of Labor and Employment permit and a 9(g) work visa; requirements can change, so confirmation with the employer and Philippine authorities is important. Relocating staff should arrange authenticated documents, medical checks, accommodation, insurance, and a clear contract covering salary, service charge, meals, transport, and leave.
