ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hooters has announced that they have safely reopened more than 150 restaurants nationwide, 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. 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 & 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
