Food Service Uniforms

The food service industry offers a wide variety of jobs and with that you'll find a large selection of food service uniforms to choose from. Some uniforms are specific to the food service role such as the chef hat or pants while other uniforms make a good choice for a number of jobs within the industry.

No matter where you work within the food service industry, the way you dress can make a difference. This doesn't just apply to workers with a public presence like hosts and hostesses, but even those who stay behind kitchen doors. Studies show that how workers are dressed can directly influence their work performance. Today's large selection of uniforms is practical as well as easy to care for and provides both comfort and style. When shopping for uniforms it is a good idea to look for features such as "wrinkle resistant" and "moisture-wicking" for uniforms that will keep food service workers looking sharp in what they have to wear.

Those who don't work directly with the food service industry don't begin to realize the vast assortment of food service uniforms and accessories available to the market today. In fact, many in the industry don't realize that there may be a uniform better suited for their particular needs. Here are a few examples:

When most people hear the word apron they picture the apron their mother used to wear tied around her waist or that gag gift someone gave Uncle Joe for his weekend barbecues. Food service work wear offers specialized aprons for professionals. People in the hospitality and food service industries need aprons for both show and functionality. The type of apron depends on the tasks the job requires. Choices include:

• Bib aprons
• Bistro aprons
• Chef aprons
• Cobbler aprons
• Dealer aprons
• Rounded aprons
• Squared aprons
• Waist aprons

It is no different with chef uniforms. Most people recognize a chef hat, but don't realize that the height of the hat, which is also known as a toque blanche, can denote a person's position or rank in the kitchen. This is only one piece included in a chef's uniform. Nor does the general public realize that today's chefs can dress in style. Uniform jackets are now available in colors other than white and not everyone wears the exact same cut of pants or jackets anymore. Chefs take pride in the dishes they create and now that creative flare can carry over to their uniform. Chef uniforms include;

• Chef Hats
• Chef Shirts
• Chef Pants
• Chef Coats
• Chef Aprons
• Chef Neckerchief and Ties

The wait staff uniforms a dining establishment chooses should complement the ambiance and décor patrons will enjoy when they visit. Uniforms can be as simple as wearing a specific shirt style and color with a specified color of pants for an informal setting, to full-fledged uniforms that dress the staff from head to toe for a more formal atmosphere.

The Internet makes shopping for uniforms easier than ever. It makes it possible to see exactly what is available and how much it will cost--and whether or not a discount is offered if certain quantities are purchased. Manufacturers separate uniforms by category and even by gender. Here are a some of the major manufacturers:
