Restaurant Supervisor - Soho
BAO Soho is looking for a Restaurant Supervisor to help lead smooth, joyful service and support the front of house team on shift. This role is perfect for someone who’s confident on the floor, great with people, and ready to take the first step into a leadership position.
The Restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Soho, our original BAO site opened in 2015 and quickly became a cult favourite - earning critical acclaim and holding onto a Michelin Bib Gourmand for an impressive nine years running. Inspired by the lively Xiao Chi houses of Taiwan, BAO Soho is where the journey began: serving up fluffy signature BAOs and bold Taiwanese small eats in a buzzing, intimate space.
At BAO, no two restaurants are the same. Each one is a creative chapter in our story, shaped by the founders’ memories, travels across Asia, and a deep love for storytelling through food. Soho is where it all started, and it continues to set the tone for our mission: to bring new and exciting dining experiences to life, one BAO at a time.
The Position
At BAO, we care deeply about creating memorable experiences - for our guests and our teams. As Supervisor, you’ll help set the tone during service, lead by example on the floor, and support your manager in keeping things running smoothly.
