The Sous Chef supports the Executive Chef and supervises daily operations in the main kitchen and buffet production areas. Requirements typically include culinary training, several years of professional kitchen experience, and previous supervisory experience in a hotel, resort, or high-volume restaurant. The successful candidate should understand food preparation, buffet standards, portion control, menu execution, sanitation, HACCP principles, inventory management, and kitchen cost control. Shangri-La expects a hands-on, organized leader who can maintain consistent quality, coordinate effectively with service teams, train colleagues, manage busy service periods, and uphold the company’s standards for guest service, safety, hygiene, and presentation. Flexibility for shifts, weekends, and holidays is essential.

The Philippines offers culinary and hospitality opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Davao, and other resort destinations. Hotels, restaurants, cruise-related businesses, and catering companies regularly seek chefs, especially candidates with international hotel experience. Filipino culture is welcoming, family-oriented, communal, and strongly influenced by English-language education, making workplace communication relatively accessible. Lifestyle varies from fast-paced urban living to relaxed island communities, with generally warm weather, affordable local food, and active social scenes. Foreign workers normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and an appropriate visa; requirements depend on nationality, contract, and position, so immigration guidance should be obtained before arrival. Relocating candidates should budget for housing, transport, deposits, health insurance, and document processing. Employers may provide accommodation or relocation assistance, particularly at remote resorts, but this should be confirmed in writing before accepting an offer.
