Taiwan Escort Entertainment: Tipping Etiquette & FAQs by Ryan

In Taiwanese–style escort entertainment venues, a ‘young master’ refers to a male attendant within the industry. Unlike ‘hosts,’ these young masters are simply servers in the venue, similar to staff at places like Cashbox or Holiday KTV. They assist with reservations, taking orders, guiding guests, and handling immediate customer needs.

The tip for the young master is calculated per private room. Regardless of the number of guests or the duration, a fee of 1000 is charged per room, so the more people, the more cost–effective!

Basically, it’s up to you how much you want to give. Generally, around 1000 to 2000 is fine. If you really like the girl, you can give a few thousand more as a way to appreciate their hard work.

But don’t give more than 5000 at once, or you might surprise them. Also, don’t give tips just because someone acts cute. Even if you have money, don’t let yourself be taken advantage of, right?

It’s actually to prevent the managers at Taiwanese–style escort entertainment venues from becoming suspicious. There’s a fear that the PR staff or hostesses working there might know the managers personally, leading to concerns about poaching clients. Therefore, they try to avoid any potential conflicts of interest whenever possible!

First, request a change of hostess, then have the manager file a complaint with the establishment.

This action is referred to as “table selection” in Taiwanese–style hostess entertainment venues. An additional charge of NT$ 1000 is required for table selection. If the hostess is currently engaged with another table, the original guests can choose to pay an extra NT$ 1000 to retain her services.

It’s not possible; all guests must line up on–site to wait for a room.
However, there’s one way: before you arrive, you can ask the staff to randomly assign a hostess to the room to start the time and hold the room. In this case, the hostess at the Taiwanese–style entertainment venue will just sit inside and wait until you arrive.

This is a common misconception. In Taiwanese escort entertainment venues, the size of the private rooms varies. Of course, 10 guests require a large room, while 2 guests would use a smaller one. There’s no issue of cutting in line or reservations; guests are accommodated based on the availability of rooms at the venue. If you find the room has an unpleasant odor and don’t like it, you can certainly request a change. However, during peak times when all rooms are occupied, please be patient and wait!

The answer is yes, you shouldn’t feel embarrassed about discussing your needs at Taiwanese escort entertainment venues and risk losing your rights. The hostesses at these venues are not as fragile as you might think. If you feel uncomfortable speaking up at the moment, it’s okay to inform the management via message or text. Ryan will arrange to handle it immediately.

You can rest assured, guesthouses, Taiwanese–style entertainment venues, and business clubs won’t charge additional cleaning fees.

Currently, there are afternoon and evening sessions. The afternoon session starts operating around 2–3 PM, while the evening session begins at 8 PM. Most establishments stay open until around 6–8 AM.

Just tell the staff, and they’ll arrange a driver for you. It might be a young man from the establishment driving you home, or they might call a taxi driver who offers driving services. (But what the establishment arranges definitely won’t be cheaper!)

When a client books a hostess, it means that during this time, the hostess will accompany the client. You can take her out, but gentlemen, don’t misunderstand! Booking her doesn’t mean you can engage in any intimate activities with the hostess.

Booking a hostess means you really like her and want to give her a break from working and drinking inside. There are different types of bookings, like full or partial, which mainly differ in duration.

This ‘booking’ means the customer is purchasing the time of a hostess from a Taiwanese–style entertainment venue.

It’s actually not expensive, with options for large and small packages:

Small package is about 4 hours: Service by a specific hostess for 240 minutes, costing around 8000 and up..
Large package is about 10 hours: Purchase the hostess’s time until her shift ends, costing around 20,000 and up..

*The above prices are for reference only. For actual pricing, please inquire with on–site staff.

In fact, customers who spend money at Taiwanese escort entertainment venues often initially believe that spending big bucks to take an escort out means they can do anything with her. This is a huge misconception!

Our Taiwanese escort entertainment venues are divided into [pure booking] and [S booking]. If it’s a pure booking, you can’t take her to your home, hotel, motel, or MTV, etc.

Small booking: You can take the escort out of the venue (book her out), but she must return to the company in 3 hours. This is known as ‘four out, three back.’
Large booking: Usually lasts for 3–5 hours, which is quite a while. You can watch a movie, have a meal, just like a sweet couple.

Each venue has set pricing for S services; you can inquire with the management at Taiwanese–style hostess clubs. Not every hostess offers S services, so you can inform the management in advance if you require this service, and they will arrange it for you.

Another type is called ‘secret arrangement,’ meaning the hostess at the Taiwanese–style club chooses her own clients and will only agree if she likes them.

The mission of Ryan is to build trust with customers who frequent Taiwan–style entertainment venues. In contrast, staff at roadside Taiwan–style venues often deceive by claiming a two–hour session, but the actual time spent is only 90 minutes. They might also inflate the bill when customers are inebriated, claiming three hours of service when only two were provided. This back–and–forth allows them to reap excessive profits, often at the expense of the consumer!

Commonly available spirits, red wine, and sorghum, or you can request a drink/food menu from the staff or manager.

There are three options: take it with you, leave it with the staff at the Taiwanese–style entertainment venue, or have it stored at the venue.
It’s usually referred to as “storing wine” or “depositing wine”, and the attendant will record the remaining percentage of your bottle to return to you on your next visit.

Of course, there is! Water, cola, and tea can be requested from the host or the hostess at a Taiwanese–style entertainment venue, and they will naturally have the attendant bring it in. As for anything else, you can ask the attendant to go out and buy it for you.

Some establishments may charge a corkage fee, usually under 500, depending on the venue. Remember to ask the staff at Taiwanese–style entertainment venues for details. As for bringing a female friend, that’s possible too, but there will be a per–person fee of 200–500.

Of course, it’s possible, but please note that using a card for payment will incur a 10–20% processing fee, depending on the store. Every dollar is hard–earned, so Ryan suggests it’s better not to use a card.

A direct tab, as the name suggests, means signing a tab without immediate payment. The payment will be collected by the staff at a later date. Usually, only very familiar staff will offer this option!

Here’s a one–hour calculation for one person:

◆ Uniform shop, formal wear shop calculation:(1500 X 1 hour X 1 hostess) + (500 entrance fee X 1 customer) + room fee 1000 + table 400 + attendant 1000 + microphone cover 100 = 4500 (excluding drinks, frame table)
◆ Casual wear shop calculation:(600 X 3 sessions X 1 hostess) + room fee 1000 + table 600 + attendant 1000 + manager’s fee 1000 + microphone cover 100 = 5500 (excluding drinks)

You can continue chatting and drinking in the private room, but Taiwanese–style hostess entertainment venues will turn off the audio equipment to comply with inspections, so customers visiting these places should be patient.

They absolutely won’t continue charging until the inspection is over, and the hostesses return to the private room in Taiwanese–style entertainment venues.

Rest assured, everyone! As long as you’re not carrying prohibited items, under 18, or violating social order, the police are just checking to see if you’re a wanted person!

You’re overthinking it. Currently, the adult entertainment industry is very welcoming to individuals visiting Taiwanese–style escort venues. Whether you’re alone or with ten people, you’ll receive the same warm hospitality. The only difference might be the size of the private room at the venue.

I can only say you’re overthinking it! In high–end entertainment venues in Taiwan, after customers leave, the cleaning process ensures that any privacy–invading items are thoroughly checked. With such upscale services, it’s highly unlikely that anyone could easily install recording equipment. The establishment itself must also protect its reputation.

If you want to visit a Taiwanese–style entertainment venue for drinks but don’t know where to start, you can first consult with the staff at the venue. Explain your budget and desired services, and they will recommend places with available private rooms that suit you, ensuring you enjoy top–notch service!
