The Sous Chef (Wok Chef) supports the Executive Chef by supervising wok-station operations, preparing authentic Asian dishes, maintaining consistent taste and presentation, and coordinating kitchen service. Candidates should have professional culinary experience, particularly with wok cooking and Chinese or Southeast Asian cuisine, along with strong knowledge of food hygiene, kitchen safety, portion control, and cost management. The role requires good leadership, organization, and communication skills. The successful candidate is expected to train and guide kitchen colleagues, maintain high Shangri-La standards, manage busy service periods calmly, minimize waste, and ensure that all food is prepared safely and efficiently. Culinary qualifications and experience in a luxury hotel or high-volume restaurant are 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 markets. The group is recognized for warm Asian hospitality, high service standards, elegant accommodation, and destination-focused dining and wellness experiences. Its Philippine properties have included established hotels and resorts in locations such as Manila, Cebu, and Boracay. Shangri-La places strong emphasis on guest satisfaction, professional development, teamwork, and operational excellence. Employees typically work in multicultural environments and are expected to demonstrate courtesy, attention to detail, and a commitment to the company’s service values. A Sous Chef joining the group can gain experience in luxury-hotel kitchens, international culinary operations, structured training, and large-scale food and beverage service.
The Philippines offers culinary and hospitality opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, and other resort destinations. Hotels, restaurants, cruise-related businesses, and catering companies regularly recruit chefs, supervisors, and skilled kitchen professionals, although competition is strongest for premium roles. Filipino culture is welcoming, family-oriented, and community-minded, with English widely used in workplaces. Lifestyle varies from busy urban living to relaxed beach-island life; living costs are generally lower than in many international resort markets, though tourist areas can be expensive. Foreign workers normally need an employer-sponsored Alien Employment Permit and appropriate work visa before starting employment. Employers often assist with documentation, relocation, accommodation, meals, or transportation, but arrangements differ by property. Candidates should confirm contract benefits, tax treatment, medical coverage, housing, and the exact work location before accepting an offer.
