How it Works

Hooters has Management Training programs designed to teach you the ins and outs of your particular job. These programs vary based on your experience, background and development level.

The first step is the Manager in Training (MIT) process. This is typically an 8-10 week supervised rotation through each position involved in a Hooters operation and core duties of Hooters Management and Concept Execution. This step teaches you "how".

Field Experience as Manager in Training

The MIT program gives you real-world experience with an emphasis on understanding the concept, Hooters Operations systems and schedules, and staff communication and motivation. For 8-10 weeks, you rotate through all the essential positions in the restaurant. Afterwards, you understand the proper operation of a Hooters Restaurant. You also learn how to implement and install Hooters' system of management controls. Best of all, you're now a fully qualified assistant manager.

Continuing Development

As you refine your routine, achieve results and gain responsibility, you participate in both internal and external training workshops for your development. Hooters encourages professional development at all levels.

Corporate Philosophy

Hooters presents special rewards and challenges to its managers, all based on our approach to building a successful business. Our beliefs, as they affect your career, are:

Hooters is intensely a people business. People create the atmosphere that draws guests to Hooters. Accordingly, the most successful managers are those who can motivate and train others and embrace diversity to deliver a quality product in a fun atmosphere. A substantial part of management compensation is based on bonuses tied to sales, profit and quality goals. Managers with great, inclusive people skills thus tend to be the most highly compensated.

Hooters thrives on our communities and promotions. Hooters believes in constantly keeping its name and product before the public. Managers have broad individual authority in their promotional programs. Good ideas and good execution leads to more guests and more successful business results. In few other companies do managers have more tools for marketing and ability to use them than with Hooters.

"Hooters Makes You Happy" and we believe we know how we do that. We purchase the highest quality food and beverage products and serve them with quality tested methods. That execution of food and beverage is not enough for us to thrive. We know our guests come back because we exceed their expectations of the Hooters experience. Accordingly, good Hooters managers oversee the details, but keep their eyes on creating a consistent overall experience for our employees and guests. It calls for the combined talents of a Hollywood party promoter, a savvy business manager, a mayor of the town, and a caring individual. Hooters gives managers a chance to play a larger and more important community role than is common in the restaurant industry. Only when our talented and diverse groups of employees work together can we   accomplish the mission "Hooters Makes You Happy".
