Summarize intro
Hooters of America, Inc. is the Atlanta-based operator and franchiser of over 375 Hooters locations in 46 states, Argentina, Aruba, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, England, Guatemala, Mexico,
Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan, Taipei and Venezuela. The privately held corporation owns 118 units.
The element of female sex appeal is prevalent in the restaurants, and the company believes the Hooters Girl is as socially acceptable as a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, or Radio City Rockette. The Hooters system employs over 25,000 people - over 15,000 of which are Hooters Girls. The "nearly world famous" Hooters Girls are the cornerstone of the Hooters concept, and as part of their job, these all-American cheerleaders make promotional and charitable appearances in their respective communities. Hooters hires women who best fit the image of a Hooters Girl to work in this capacity. The chain hires both males and females to work in management and host, staff, service bar, and kitchen positions. The Hooters Girl uniform consists of orange shorts and a white tank top, short-sleeve or long-sleeve T-shirt. Pantyhose and bras are required.
