hostess hunter

A male restaurant employee who targets hostesses as the object of their affection.

This often leads to awkward situations in the workplace due to workplace hierarchies, age differences, and the spreading of rumours. Relationships can be more sexual and casual in nature (i.e. hookups) or more serious and long term. In any case, being a hostess hunter can be quite risky, since it can damage one’s professional reputation, and often ends with the hostess being collateral damage.
