Yahoo ^ | April 20, 2017 | Yvette Tan

Family friendly isn't exactly the first thing to come to mind when you think of Hooters.

But the company, which is opening more than 30 new outlets across Asia, plans to change that — with the help of a new image.

According to Neil Bailey, the president of Hooters Asia, he wants the new stores in the region to have a "family restaurant experience."

I went to Hooters once. The uniforms are silly but they seem to work.

The current uniforms seem to encourage family growth.

This will have similar results as McDonalds going PC with their burgers and fries.

That might work for Asia but not in the US. Not that I’ve ever had any desire to go to a Hooters and can’t see how it’d be considered family friendly.

(Husband in bed with frumpy overweight wife, lights out, thought process) "Tina our waitress at Hooters this evening...yeah, Tina...That's the ticket!"

I went when I was younger few times and the food wasn’t bad and the girls were great to look at.

Doomed to failure. The food at hooters is not nearly good enough to survive reducing their waitress quality to southwest flight attendent levels.

Hooters, and all the other “breastaurants are basically places for guys who don’t have the gonads to go to a real strip club for fear their wives would kill them.

Seriously if you are that sexually frustrated that you need to go to a breastaurant you really need to get a new wife or girlfriend... or one at all.

With a name like Hooters I will never be taking my family there. Nor will I go there myself. I’d feel like I was in a strip club.

Decent sports bars with OK wings and a good fish sandwich. There is no nudity. The girls wear bras and tights under tight tops and shorts. The idea that they are some sort of strip club is ridiculous.

Food is meh... it is in all those breastaurants... they rely on old men who aren’t getting enough attention at home leering at young women for their livelihood.

I remember being dragged into a hooters back in my 20s.... I went out riding for the day on my motorcycle with my step father and his friends they were all in their 40s or 50s and that’s where they all wanted to go.. it was ridiculous... I was the only member of our party nearly in the age range of the wait staff... and they of course ogled like dogs, and I just felt like I should be apologizing to the waitress.. I know she knows what her job is, flirt with the customers, titilate and get tips... but it was beyond embarrassing. I seriously felt like I was with a bunch of old men who wanted to be in a strip club but were afraid their wives would beat them if they actually went.

I knew what those girls had to put up with had to be bad, and that was long before the ever famous undercover boss hooters episode showed what exactly goes on in those places, even without the customers involved.

Hooters is basically cleavage and hot pants... people don’t go there for the food no matter how much they tell their gf or wife or whatever that’s why they go... They cover that up, they’ll be out of business... And honestly around here none of them ever lasted more than a few years no matter what... of course some other breastaurant shows up and runs for a few years before it too closes... but honestly... if all you have are scantily clad women as your hook, you basically have nothing but an easily repeatable concept, and no market differentiation.

If the food is good, you don’t need nipple rings, cleavage and camel toe to stay in business as a restaurant.
