Job Description

Description:

HMC Hospitality Group proudly owns and operates 60+ Hooters restaurants across Illinois, Florida, Texas, Indiana, and Georgia. We also operate 2 Hoots locations, our fast-casual concept, while continuing to focus our growth on expanding the Hooters brand.

Since the first Hooters opened in 1983 in Clearwater, Florida, we've been known for great food, fun vibes, and not taking ourselves too seriously. Our casual, beach-themed restaurants serve up a craveable menu featuring seafood, sandwiches, salads, and our world-famous chicken wings.

Our mission is to deliver a carefree dining experience in a high-energy, welcoming atmosphere—where signature menu items are served by friendly Hooters Girls who embody our commitment to hospitality and fun.

We’re excited about what’s ahead and look forward to continuing our journey of growth, innovation, and unforgettable guest experiences.

Benefits Include:

Employee discount
Referral program
Tenure & awards
Promotional Opportunities

Requirements:

Ready to be the face of fun?

As a Hooters Host, you’re the first smile our guests see—and the one that sets the tone for their entire visit! If you love making people feel welcome, keeping things organized, and working in a lively, high-energy environment, this is the spot for you.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Greeting guests like they’re old friends (because they might be!)
Managing the flow of the restaurant so everyone gets seated and served smoothly.
Keeping the vibe upbeat and positive from the front door to the dining floor.
Helping guests with wait times, seating requests, and making sure they’re excited to be here.
Teaming up with your coworkers to keep things running like clockwork.

What We’re Looking For:

A friendly, outgoing personality that shines through every interaction.
Great communication skills and a love for working with people.
Ability to stay cool and collected when things get busy.
A team player who’s always ready to jump in and help.

Why You’ll Love It Here:

Flexible schedules
A fun, fast-paced atmosphere where every shift flies by.
Opportunities to join in on community events and promotions.
Work with friends and make new ones along the way!
