The Sous Chef (Banquet) supports the Executive Chef and leads banquet kitchen operations, including menu preparation, food production, plating and service for large events. Candidates should have culinary training and several years of professional kitchen experience, preferably in a luxury hotel or high-volume banquet environment. Strong knowledge of food safety, sanitation, portion control and cost management is expected. The role requires leadership, organization and the ability to supervise and coach kitchen colleagues during busy services. Flexibility to work shifts, weekends and public holidays is essential.

Its properties are known for refined service, comfortable accommodation, destination dining, wellness facilities and strong attention to guest experience. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates prominent properties in locations such as Manila, Cebu and Boracay. The company employs professionals across culinary, rooms, engineering, guest services, events and corporate functions. Shangri-La generally emphasizes hospitality excellence, teamwork, service culture and employee development. Benefits for hotel employees may include meals, uniforms, training, service charge eligibility and staff accommodation or relocation support, depending on the property and employment contract. Exact responsibilities and benefits vary by location, so applicants should confirm details with the recruiting team.
The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Bohol and other resort destinations, with demand for chefs, hotel supervisors, restaurant staff, engineers and guest-service professionals. The country has a warm, sociable culture, English is widely used, and employees often enjoy close community ties, lively food scenes and easy access to beaches and outdoor activities. Manila provides the broadest career market and urban amenities, while island locations offer a slower lifestyle but may have higher seasonal demand and fewer services. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and an appropriate visa, commonly arranged with support from the hiring company; requirements can change, so official Philippine immigration guidance should be checked. Relocating staff should budget for housing, transport, healthcare and document processing, and clarify accommodation, meals, service charges, flights and contract terms before accepting an offer.
