Restaurant Uniform Trends

As the millennial generation begins to take over many dining rooms and kitchens, uniform trends are starting to change. Many restaurant managers are leaning toward more casual and flexible uniform policies, letting cooks and servers choose the style and fit that works best for them. This might mean wearing your favorite soccer jersey, as is policy at Chicago’s Quartino, or letting cooks wear any style of chef coat and pants that fits them best, such is the practice at Bookstore Bar and Café in Seattle.

What is the uniform policy at your restaurant? It might be time to consider a refresh.For more on uniforms and other trends from the 2014 National Restaurant Show, visit restaurantbusinessonline.com
