The Sous Chef will support the Executive Chef in managing main-kitchen and buffet production, including menu preparation, food quality, portion control, hygiene, stock management, and kitchen supervision. Candidates should have professional culinary training and several years of experience in a high-volume hotel, resort, or restaurant kitchen, preferably in buffet or international cuisine. Strong knowledge of HACCP, food safety, costing, ordering, and team leadership is expected. The role requires the ability to work under pressure, organize multiple production areas, train junior chefs, maintain Shangri-La standards, and work flexible shifts, weekends, and holidays. Good communication, creativity, discipline, and a hands-on approach are essential.
Shangri-La is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Asia, operating hotels, resorts, residences, and other hospitality businesses worldwide. Its properties are known for personalized service, refined dining, wellness facilities, and strong attention to guest comfort. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates prominent resorts and city hotels, including destinations associated with Manila, Cebu, and Boracay. The company places emphasis on service excellence, operational standards, employee development, teamwork, and cultural awareness. A Sous Chef may work in a demanding international environment with large-scale banquets, buffet outlets, restaurants, and resort dining operations. Benefits and employment conditions vary by property and may include service charge, staff meals, uniforms, medical coverage, training, accommodation, or transportation support.
The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities across major destinations such as Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Bohol, and Mindanao. Resorts and hotels regularly recruit chefs, restaurant staff, housekeeping teams, engineers, and guest-service professionals, with stronger demand in tourist areas. Filipino culture is warm, family-oriented, community-minded, and strongly influenced by regional traditions, Catholic heritage, and English-language education. Island life can offer beaches, outdoor activities, affordable local food, and a relaxed pace, although transport, internet, healthcare, and housing vary considerably by location. Salaries are generally lower than in many international markets, but resort roles may include service charge, meals, accommodation, and other benefits. Foreign workers normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate immigration authorization, commonly including an Alien Employment Permit and a 9(g) work visa. Do not work on a tourist visa; confirm requirements with the employer and Philippine authorities before relocating.
