What’s Cooking? The Benefits of Restaurant Uniforms
Did you know 90% of consumers prefer to see employee uniforms at the fine dining restaurants they frequent? That number jumps to 93% for fast food restaurants. Uniforms may not be top of mind with everything else restaurant owners have to deal with, but they’re a very key piece of your establishment’s appearance.
At the very least, all kitchen personnel should be outfitted with caps, as they’re the ones primarily handling the food. It will put your patron’s minds at ease if they see the cooks have their hair covered.
But if you ask me, I think they’re a great addition to the uniform for the entire team—servers, bartenders, hostesses, management, etc. Halo provided four additional reasons employee uniforms are so important to restaurant owners.
