If you walk into a restaurant or café, you will see that the waiters and servers, bussers and most front of house staff are wearing uniforms and server aprons. Why is wearing an apron so essential for restaurant staff?
- The image – Restaurants can print or embroider their brand name and logo on waist aprons which are worn by their staff, thus projecting a good image of their brand to their customers. Aprons can also be designed to reflect the vibe and style of the restaurant, blending with its ambiance. You can even personalize these server aprons with the name of the server, which will provide a much more personalized experience for your customers by getting to know your staff closely.
- Convenient – Server aprons are designed with pockets where servers and waiters can carry essential items that are needed to provide an effective and efficient service to your clientele. Without an apron with convenient pockets, staff will be running around wasting time looking for such things as notebooks, pens etc when trying to take orders, and they will tend to keep things in their pants pockets where they could fall out easily.
- Protection – Server aprons are worn mainly as a form of protection for the wearer from hot spills and splashes that could hurt or burn. In addition, it also protects the wearers clothes or uniform which is worn under the apron from stains from spills and splashes. Usually, servers and other front of house staff uniforms come in black, because any dirt or stains are not easily visible on it.
- Reduce laundry costs – Providing staff with an apron will drastically reduce your laundry costs, as the apron will keep the uniform and shirt clean.
These days manufacturers of restaurant staff uniforms have come up with innovative new designs and fabrics to create very durable, hardy server aprons, which are cost efficient as well, such as Denim. These new designs are not only more functional, but are far more stylish and fashionable to wear, and your staff will love being seen in them.
