The Sous Chef (Wok Chef) supports the Executive Chef and kitchen leadership in preparing high-quality Chinese or Asian wok dishes. Requirements typically include professional culinary training, several years of experience in a hotel or upscale restaurant, strong wok-cooking skills, knowledge of food safety and sanitation standards, and the ability to supervise kitchen colleagues. The successful candidate is expected to maintain consistent taste and presentation, control food costs, manage mise en place, monitor stock levels, train team members, and perform effectively during busy service periods. Flexibility, discipline, teamwork, creativity, and a guest-focused attitude are essential. Experience in an international luxury hotel environment, particularly with Shangri-La standards, would be advantageous.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts 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 international destinations. The company is known for warm Asian hospitality, high service standards, well-developed dining operations, and premium guest experiences. Its Philippine properties attract local and international travelers and typically offer restaurants, banqueting, leisure facilities, and extensive accommodation services. Shangri-La places strong emphasis on employee development, operational excellence, teamwork, and personalized service. A Sous Chef joining the group can expect a structured hotel environment, collaboration with multicultural culinary teams, and opportunities to develop expertise in high-volume luxury food production. Specific benefits may include meals, uniforms, service charge, medical coverage, training, and employee accommodation or transport support, depending on the property and employment terms.
The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Davao, and other major tourism destinations. Hotels and resorts regularly recruit chefs, restaurant staff, housekeeping professionals, engineers, and guest-service employees. Filipino culture is generally warm, family-oriented, respectful, and highly welcoming to visitors. Island life can provide beautiful beaches, outdoor activities, affordable local food, and a relaxed social atmosphere, although Manila and larger cities are busier and more expensive. Salaries are usually paid in Philippine pesos, and benefits such as service charge, meals, uniforms, and accommodation vary by employer. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa before working legally; requirements can include labor approval and immigration documentation. Candidates should confirm arrangements directly with Shangri-La, including relocation costs, housing, taxation, medical cover, and contract terms. English is widely used in tourism and business, making workplace integration relatively accessible.
