Hiring only "attractive servers that suit the male gaze is really alienating at least 50% of your dining population," Lilly Jan, a lecturer of food and beverage at the Nolan School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University, said in an interview.
This is a perfect example of a clueless "professional" teaching other people to be idiots. Hooters target demo is straight men. Hiring attractive servers that suit the male gaze appeals to 100% of the dining population that they are trying to appeal to. Getting rid of attractive female servers does not gain them 2x the diners. It loses them them many of the ones they currently have.
This is not rocket science.
But they're going bankrupt anyway. With nothing to lose, they should lean into the Femboy Hooters meme and see what happens.

500% increase in sexual harassment claims by the employees, but they'll never tell you it's all the gay men doing the harassment.
And a 5000% increase in sexual harassment claims by the customers, all of which are perpetuated by the penised individuals in booty shorts.
