Hooters Reopens In Chattanooga

  • Friday, May 15, 2020

Hooters has announced that they have reopened more than 150 restaurants nationwide, including in Chattanooga, for dine-in service, in accordance with local and state mandates and guidelines, while continuing to offer takeout, curbside pick-up and delivery options.

Hooters commitment to the safety and well-being of its guests and team members has long been a part of company values and operating procedures, said officials. In an effort to ensure the ultimate guest experience, Hooters has implemented a number of protocols around proper food safety, sanitation, staff training on health policies and much more.

Some ways you’ll see Hooters commitment within restaurants includes: 

Maintaining six feet distance between all persons
Limiting the number of guests into the restaurant following state and local occupancy requirements 
Increased cleaning and sanitation throughout the restaurant, including wipe downs of tables after each use, hourly wipe downs of high contact areas, and nightly deep cleanings
Providing hand sanitizer stations at the entrance and throughout the restaurant
Frequent handwashing by all team members (at least every 30 minutes or more if needed)
Requiring team members to wear gloves and face coverings at all times (with gloves being replaced after each guest interaction); We also ask that guests follow local and state mandates regarding face coverings
Conducting daily team member wellness screenings, including temperature checks
A hygiene captain is assigned to each shift to ensure compliance to all guidelines
