'''Hooters''' is an American [[restaurant chain]] that was established in [[Clearwater, Florida]] in 1983. The restaurant is known for its casual beach-theme atmosphere, its brand of food and drinks, and its employment of female [[waitstaff]] known as "Hooters Girls".

== History ==
Hooters was founded by six businessmen from Clearwater, Florida on April 1, 1983. The original location was an old rundown nightclub that had been purchased at a low price. The founders built the business with the concept of a place where they could relax, eat good food, and look at pretty girls. The name "Hooters" is a double entendre referring to both its owl logo, a bird known for its "hooting" calls, and an American slang term for women's breasts.

== Concept and format ==
The Hooters concept is based on female sex appeal, with the restaurants being staffed by attractive women known as "Hooters Girls". These employees are recognized for their distinctive Hooters Girl uniform, a white tank top with the Hooters owl logo and the location name on the front paired with short nylon orange runner's shorts. The remainder of the Hooters Girls uniform consists of the girl being tan with her hair down.

The menu includes a variety of foods, including [[hamburgers]], [[steak]], [[seafood]], [[chicken wings]], and [[alcoholic beverages]]. The restaurants also offer a full liquor bar.

== Locations ==
As of 2021, there are more than 420 Hooters locations in 29 countries. The company's largest presence is in the United States, where it operates more than 300 locations. Internationally, Hooters has restaurants in countries such as [[Canada]], [[Australia]], [[Brazil]], [[China]], and the [[United Kingdom]].

== Controversies ==
Hooters has faced criticism and legal action from both employees and customers. The company has been sued multiple times for [[discrimination]], including a class-action lawsuit in 2009 that claimed Hooters was in violation of federal employment laws.
