Catering uniforms are a great way of making your business look and feel more professional. When customers choose your service, they want to experience a sense of order and cleanliness. Dressing your staff appropriately in matching uniforms will have a big impact on the tone that your service is perceived. Take the following factors into consideration when choosing your catering uniforms.
Function
Style
Aside from feeling comfortable your staff should also feel confident in their uniform - this helps with pride and create a cool, friendly atmosphere for you catering venue. So, make sure your catering uniforms are available in different sizes and with subtle design differences in shape to flatter and sit comfortably. Consider adjustable cuffs on shirts, which are a great addition for catering staff where rolled sleeves are a must amongst food service. Extra-length cut on T-shirts and shirts also ensure that your staff doesn't expose their skin when reaching across tables.
Durability
Regular washing after catering services is imperative to remove food and alcohol odours and stains, it also helps ensure your staff look pristine with new customers. This means that your catering uniform needs to be as hard-working as your team. Look for uniforms made from premium fabrics such as durable poly-cotton and canvas mix and 100% cotton.
Colour
For a professional look, consider the colours you would see at a formal function. This usually means your primary colours should be black, navy or midnight blue blended with secondary colours of white and beige. In addition to looking professional, these colours are also easy to accessorize and keep clean.
Branding
When considering your staff uniform's design options, make sure you also keep your company's brand in mind. Your attire should have the name of your business on it somewhere. While graphics are good, including the name of your catering service in print is important too to enhance your brand awareness.
Selecting a uniform for your staff is a big decision. After all, it is a representation of your brand image. But once you have committed to a particular design, all the selecting process will be worth.
