Hooters is coming back to Spain with their ‘features’ waitresses… but more moderate – Merca2.0

Known for its waitresses with physical attributes lush, this chain of restaurants american, he returned to Spain in July, to try their luck in the commercial center Vilamarina in Vilamoura, located in Barcelona, after his first attempt in Gran Canaria, where he worked from 2007 to 2010.

These establishments, who are accused of sexist because that has been calling itself since its inception in 1983, as a brestaurant (mixture of English words in breast (chest) and Restaurant), since 2011, Hooters claims to have a new policy regarding women serving the customers, by accepting, as stated by Julio Arias, director general of expansion of the company in Spain and Portugal, to females with physical varied.

The chain plans to open 15 new stores in Spain over the next seven years, and after the first in Barcelona, will be followed by one in Madrid and another in Seville. As is the tradition in Hooters, the total of the personnel attending to the clients, will be women, while the recruitment of men will be to positions in the kitchen and organization.

From Hooters point out that the waitresses will be able to choose between two uniforms that qualify as 'sports', the traditional t-shirt midriff tops and short-shorts or leggings, color of flesh and a tracksuit, both options available in all sizes.

The announcement of his return to Spain has filled the social networks of negative comments, to what Arias has responded that: "If we were talking about Hooters in the 80′s and 90′s, I wouldn’t go there." To which he added that the chain, after being sold by Coby G. Brooks, son of the founder, to the fund H. I. G Capital, has changed, so that no one could talk about "brestaurant", "junk food," or hiring without experience based on their physical attributes.

Hooters has a presence in several countries of Europe such as Germany, Austria, Uk, Switzerland, Hungary, Czech Republic and Russia.
