The Sous Chef (Garde Manger) supports the Executive Chef and Chef de Cuisine in managing cold-food preparation, including salads, appetizers, sandwiches, sauces, desserts, and buffet displays. Requirements typically include culinary training, several years of professional kitchen experience, and strong knowledge of food safety, hygiene, portion control, and kitchen organization. Experience in a luxury hotel or international resort is preferred. The successful candidate should be creative, disciplined, calm under pressure, and able to lead and train kitchen colleagues. They are expected to maintain Shangri-La standards, control food costs, monitor quality, coordinate with other sections, and ensure consistent service during busy operations.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts, and related businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international destinations. The group is recognized for warm Asian hospitality, high service standards, well-developed guest facilities, and strong food and beverage operations. Its Philippine properties attract leisure and business travelers and typically include restaurants, event venues, spas, pools, and resort amenities. Employees work in a multicultural environment where presentation, guest care, teamwork, and attention to detail are highly valued. Culinary team members may gain experience serving international guests, managing large-volume operations, and working within established luxury-hotel food safety and quality systems. Benefits may vary by property and can include meals, uniforms, accommodation or allowances, medical coverage, service charge, and training opportunities.
The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, and other resort destinations, particularly in hotels, restaurants, cruise operations, and tourism businesses. Work culture is generally friendly, team-oriented, and respectful, with English widely used in professional settings. Island living can provide a relaxed lifestyle, warm weather, beaches, and outdoor activities, although transport, healthcare, and internet access may be less convenient outside major cities. Employees should compare accommodation, transport, service-charge policies, and living costs before relocating. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and an Alien Employment Permit, followed by the appropriate immigration visa or authority to stay and work legally. Requirements can change, so candidates should confirm procedures with the employer and the Philippine Bureau of Immigration. Local hires usually need standard identification, tax, and employment documents.
