Every restaurant aims to make a mark with the food it creates, but how it portrays itself is almost as important. A cohesive look makes a powerful brand that sticks in the mind of your customers and enhances the whole experience.
Everything from the menu, lighting, decor, and uniforms help a restaurant tell their unique story.
At I. Buss & Allan, we can help you define what your signature uniform look is. The one that reflects the history, feeling, and food you cater to at a glance.
Your Signature Restaurant Look
No restaurant space exists without people guiding the customer experience and they need to have a look that coincides with the overall vibe as well. Although the interaction is heavily influenced by the personality of the host, server, or chef, there exists an underlying judgment based on how they’re dressed.
Basically, a high-end restaurant deserves a high-end uniform.
That might be a traditionally clean-cut look for your hosts and servers or a refined look for your chefs. A signature look is timeless and elevates your employees to more professional heights; plus, just try not to have confidence when you look that good.
Uniforms tell an even deeper story about your restaurant; not only of your style, but of your quality and integrity.
Front Of House Looks
A put-together, cohesive front of house staff can really reflect the professionalism that your restaurant brings to the table.
What suits your restaurant’s servers best? A classic apron and vest combo? Something a bit more buttoned up (or buttoned down)?
It should always reflect the spirit of the restaurant, the level of service you’re promising, and the clientele’s expectations.
The utility shouldn’t be ignored though. A functional uniform with pockets, flexibility, breathability, and a touch of style can do wonders for the servers, bartenders, and hosts attitudes and abilities. There’s a tendency to focus on the look only, but don’t forget that your happy and motivated staff are driving the whole experience!
Back Of House Looks
Make no mistake, the back of house staff need their own uniform considerations too.
In an open concept kitchen that’s a no-brainer, but even the traditional closed-off kitchen staff should have a functional uniform that also makes them feel like they’re part of the whole experience.
At the heart of everything, people are coming to your restaurant for the food so the people preparing it should have the uniform they need to create those delicious dishes with safety and pride. They shouldn’t feel like an afterthought.
