The Sous Chef (Banquet) supports the Executive Chef and manages banquet kitchen operations, including menu preparation, food production, plating, service coordination, and kitchen organisation. Candidates typically need 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, cost management, and international cuisine is expected. The successful candidate should demonstrate leadership, creativity, organisation, stamina, and the ability to work under pressure while maintaining Shangri-La’s quality standards. Flexibility for weekends, holidays, split shifts, and large events is essential, along with effective communication and team-development skills.
Shangri-La is a major luxury hospitality group founded in Asia and recognised internationally for its hotels, resorts, residences, and distinctive service culture. The group operates properties across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other destinations, with a strong presence in the Philippines. Shangri-La properties are known for high standards in accommodation, dining, banqueting, wellness, and guest services. The company places emphasis on warm hospitality, professional development, teamwork, and attention to detail. Depending on the property, employees may work in an urban hotel or a resort environment serving international travellers, corporate clients, weddings, and large social events. Culinary employees can gain experience with multicultural menus, luxury-service expectations, high-volume production, and structured hotel operations.
The Philippines offers opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, cruises, catering, and tourism, particularly in Metro Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, and other established destinations. Hospitality work is commonly fast-paced and seasonal, with strong demand for skilled chefs and supervisors. Filipino culture is welcoming, family-oriented, and community-minded, while English is widely used in workplaces. Lifestyle varies from busy city living to relaxed coastal communities; living costs are generally lower outside Manila, although resort islands can be expensive. Foreign nationals normally need an appropriate work permit and visa, usually arranged with employer support, and should not work on a tourist visa. Employees should confirm accommodation, transportation, medical coverage, contract terms, and local registration before relocating. Major islands and destinations are connected by domestic flights and ferries, but travel can be affected by weather. Work permits, taxation, and immigration requirements should be verified with Philippine authorities.
