The Sous Chef will support the Executive Chef in managing main-kitchen and buffet production, ensuring consistent food quality, presentation, hygiene, and timely service. Requirements typically include culinary training, several years of professional kitchen experience, and previous supervisory or hotel experience. The candidate should understand buffet operations, menu preparation, portion control, food safety, inventory management, and kitchen cost control. Strong leadership, organization, communication, and problem-solving skills are expected. The role requires a hands-on approach, the ability to work under pressure, and flexibility to work shifts, weekends, and holidays. Experience in an international hotel or high-volume resort kitchen is advantageous.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts, and city properties across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international markets. The company is known for warm Asian-inspired hospitality, high service standards, upscale accommodation, and extensive dining and leisure facilities. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates prominent properties including Shangri-La The Fort, Edsa Shangri-La, and Shangri-La Boracay. Employees typically work in multicultural environments and receive structured operating procedures, training, and opportunities to develop within the wider hotel group. A Sous Chef joining Shangri-La would be expected to maintain professional culinary standards, support team development, uphold food-safety requirements, and deliver consistent guest experiences in a demanding luxury-resort setting.
The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities across Boracay, Cebu, Palawan, Bohol, Siargao, and major cities such as Manila. Resort employment is available in kitchens, restaurants, housekeeping, front office, diving, wellness, and guest services, especially during busy tourism seasons. Filipino culture is generally welcoming, family-oriented, and English is widely used in workplaces. Island living can provide beaches, outdoor activities, warm weather, and a relaxed community atmosphere, although transport, healthcare access, and supplies may be more limited outside major centers. Foreign workers normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly arranged with assistance from the hiring company; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Candidates should confirm accommodation, meals, service charge, transportation, medical coverage, contract terms, and relocation costs before accepting an offer. Domestic flights and ferries connect the main islands.
