Staff Uniforms – Things to Consider

Our original uniform range is popular for many working environments from cafés, bars and restaurants, to florists, hairdressers, retail and corporate staff. But which look is right for you? Choosing the right look is an important part of any business and below are a few questions to consider before selecting the perfect staff uniform.

WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESS ARE YOU?

Are you a clinic, fine-dining restaurant or hair salon? A family friendly café or inner-city bar? A boutique hotel? Or a team of sales managers on the road? 

If you're in hospitalityretail or corporate, your uniform should reflect the image of your business and be something your customer relates to. Latest research shows 93% of consumers prefer staff in uniforms as it makes them easily recognisable. The look of well-dressed staff helps set the tone of your customer experience. 

Some questions to ask about your brand, business and venue include:

  • Are you a casual or more formal venue? Do your staff need to reflect this vibe?
  • Are you open all day? Mornings or Evenings? And how do these opening times reflect what your staff might feel comfortable in?
  • What is the pricepoint of your product or service? And does how your staff present reflect this market position?

WHAT ARE THE COLOURS OF YOUR BRAND OR VENUE INTERIOR?

Another good way to ensure your staff uniform fits in with your venue, is to decide on a colour palette. If your venue interior is full of neutral earthy tones it’s a good idea to carry this through to your uniform range with an apron like the Henry pebble apron. For a bold contemporary environment, choose denim with a pop of colour.
