The Location

Our Bloomberg Arcade restaurant is home to BAO’s flagship karaoke experience — with two private KTV rooms bringing the spirit of Taipei’s nightlife into the heart of the City. The dining room sits between them, buzzing with energy from weekday lunch through to late-night feasting. Unique to this location are our sharing bao platters, designed for group dining with bold, playful service.

The Position

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting the GM in the daily running of the restaurant — leading service and managing the pace, energy, and flow of the floor
• Creating memorable guest experiences through warm, attentive and detailed service
• Coaching and developing the FOH team — leading training, check-ins, and ongoing support
• Helping with rota planning, stock management, and team scheduling
• Upholding high standards across guest care, cleanliness, safety, and BAO brand presentation
• Acting as a calm, capable leader on shift — someone the team can rely on and learn from

What we’re looking for:

• Experience as an Assistant Manager or strong Supervisor in a high-quality, fast-paced restaurant
• A natural team leader — clear communicator, approachable, and focused on people’s growth
• A strong sense of what great guest experience looks like — and how to deliver it consistently
• Confidence in shift management, floor coordination, and basic back-office tasks
• A hands-on, positive attitude and a genuine love for hospitality
