The Chef de Cuisine leads the kitchen operation of Sage Grill, overseeing menu planning, food preparation, quality control, hygiene, cost management and team performance. Candidates should have substantial experience in a luxury hotel, resort or high-end restaurant, with strong knowledge of grilling, modern cuisine, food safety and kitchen leadership. Culinary qualifications and proven supervisory experience are normally expected. The successful candidate should be creative, organized, commercially aware and confident managing service during busy periods. They will be expected to maintain Shangri-La standards, coach culinary staff, control food costs, coordinate with suppliers and other departments, and deliver consistently excellent guest experiences.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a major international hospitality group founded in Asia and known for luxury hotels, resorts and serviced residences. The company operates properties across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and other global destinations, with a strong focus on warm Asian hospitality, personalized service and memorable guest experiences. In the Philippines, Shangri-La manages prominent resorts and city hotels, including properties in Cebu, Boracay and Manila. Employees typically work in an international environment with structured service standards, training opportunities and access to hospitality career development. The group’s food and beverage operations range from casual dining to award-winning restaurants, bars and specialty venues. A culinary leadership role with Shangri-La generally involves maintaining high brand standards while adapting menus and service to local ingredients, guests and resort conditions.
The Philippines offers strong opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, tourism, engineering and marine recreation, particularly in Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Manila and other major destinations. Hospitality work is shaped by Filipino warmth, teamwork, respect for seniority and a service-oriented culture. Island living can be rewarding, with beaches, diving, outdoor activities and a relaxed social lifestyle, although transport, healthcare access and supply availability may be less convenient outside cities. Salaries are usually paid in Philippine pesos, and resort roles may include meals, accommodation, service charge, insurance or travel assistance. Foreign nationals generally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly an Alien Employment Permit together with a 9(g) work visa; requirements can change, so confirmation with the employer and Philippine authorities is essential. Relocating staff should budget for deposits, flights, local transport and documentation, and research housing, weather, internet access and emergency services before moving.
