Customers choose restaurants for a variety of reasons and it isn’t all about the food, but also the presentation of the staff providing the service. Which is why catering clothing should be given significant thought when starting a restaurant or catering business.
If you’ve ever wondered how to avoid mess whilst maintaining an aesthetic appeal, then you’ve probably thought about what’s required from a catering uniform. In order to make a good impression in the mind of the customers your catering clothing has to create a high-quality image, which reflects well on both the kitchen and the restaurant.
A catering uniform is a truly functional piece of workwear. It is easy to wear, will fulfil your employees’ safety needs and let them do the job to the best of their ability.
Chefs and caterers work hard and often incredibly long shifts. So having comfortable catering clothing is an absolute must. They should be made from a soft and comfortable material and be able to cope with the often high temperatures of a commercial kitchen.
Quality catering clothing is loose-fitting enough to protect against scalding liquids that would otherwise be held close against the skin. If handling food, employees must wear only clean and light colored outer clothes and protective coveralls. Aprons also work to protect cooks and caterers from splashes and spills that could ruin their uniforms whilst adding an extra layer of protection against scalding liquids.
Cooking is a messy business. Catering staff need uniforms that are easy to keep clean to a high standard. However, you don’t want your catering clothing to fade with multiple washes, you need to be able to wash them as often as necessary. So invest in quality catering clothing that is highly durable.
You will want your staff to look smart even if they are hidden away in the kitchen. Catering clothing can and should still maintain a level of professionalism. All of the catering clothing available at Work & Direct can be printed or embroidered with your business name or logo for professional chef's workwear that looks the business!
