I'm a retired stripper who's living in Houston. Has anyone here worked at a Hooters? Is it worth it, and how does it compare to regular waitressing? Is cocktail waitressing good in Houston?

Former SCJ now in rehab.
I Have A Friend Who Works At Hooters And On A Friday Or Sat. Night A 5 Hour Shift She Makes About 85 To 100 Dollars You Can Make Good Money But You Have To Share The Days That You Can Make Money With Other Girls. She Gets Like 1 Weekend A Month. Weekdays Are Very Slow... Thats What She Has Said..
NICHOLE


I don't think any food service work pays very well. Maybe if you worked in a upscale place where the average dinner was $50 or more. But I went to Hooters will my boyfriend. It did not look like anyone was leaving any bigger tips than I have seen at the local Perkins. Maybe someone who works in one has better information.





Screw Hooters; if you actually want to make money waitressing (and have experience doing so) shoot for fine dining/steakhouses, of which there are tons in Houston. I should imagine pulling $200 in tips is much easier there and you don't have to wear flesh-toned pantyhose. If you don't have experience, try for a hostessing job first.
I would rather suck dick at the bus stop than wait tables again, ANYWHERE.
It would be far less degrading.
Working at a busy regular restaurant I used to make anywhere from $50-$100 in an 8 hr shift. I would think you could make alot more working at a place like The Melting Pot or a nice steak place than at Hooters. There is alot of crap work waitressing, but it can be a fun job! Good Luck!
Thanks for the advice. Under the advice of a friend who's waitressed a lot, I'm going to waitress at a fancy strip club. She says that our flirting skills work wonders on men, but not when a woman's there to inhibit the fun.
As a SC waitress, what do you usually wear? Are uniforms provided, or do you just buy some hotpants and a shirt?





if you think dancers in houston have to put up with a lot for their income, imagine being a SC waitress here. even in many of the larger clubs, the senior waitresses have devoted regulars/followings and since clubs are more than happy to flood their club with waitresses, it can be nightmarish to get tips. a lot of waitresses make money providing 'recommendations' to customers. :-(
i really think you should cocktail waitress at a nightclub instead of a stripclub, or bartend, or work white-tablecloth upscale restaurants. those are better and steadier money options.
I checked out a few strip clubs, and I decided not to be a waitress. In the ones I've seen so far, the waitresses might as well be strippers with what they wear and with what they put up with. I'm going to check out Michael's, which is a 5-star, and the Colorado, but my biggest hope lies in a swanky Japanese restaurant.
Try "drink Houston","hush",or Any Country Bar,beer Tub Girls Pull In About $200-300.you'd Be Very Very Surprised How Well Swinger Cpls In Country Bars Tip,plus Obviously There's The Hott Lil Cowboys Too.![]()
"BOOBS'R'US"!!!! WHITNEYWONDERS
Heres my experiance. I worked in a strip club as a cocktail server as a favor....the money was horrible. I worked 3 shifts and didn't make more then 150 for all three shifts. I just quit my job at a very slow Outback Steakhouse here in Jacksonville. And I use to make between 50-120. I work at a bar type restaurant at the beach. Nothing special and I make good money. I work 10am-3pm (Thats opening the restaurant for an hour, so no tables) and walk with an average of 100. If I work till 5pm I walk with about 150-180. It veryies though. I hussle my tables and I make money. I also am a good waitress that doesn't panic under fast pace craziness. Last Saturdays I made 280 between 11-6pm. So you have your good days and bad days.
After reading the Smoking Gun, I will stay far away from Hooters
