Owning and managing a business requires a lot of hard work and attention when it comes to hygiene and safety, especially those who deal with food processing or the restaurant industry. This is why your kitchen staff and other employees involved in the production and presentation of food needs to wear appropriate uniforms and clothing.
Business owners have varying opinions on what their general staff should wear, but there is a common consensus on what constitutes the ideal uniforms and clothing for food handling and kitchen staff. We tell you why smart uniforms makes smart business sense in more ways than one.
Functional, Comfortable, and Customisable Workwear
Most of the general public thinks that uniforms serve no other purpose other than a fashion statement, but this is not the case, especially when it comes to the restaurant and food preparation industry.
We here at Alsco know what uniforms go through every day as we deliver fresh and clean clothing and receive dirty laundry from our customers. The stains and wear and tear that these uniforms go through are unbelievable.
This is why our Food & Beverage workwear are made up of durable fabrics and not to mention that you can also choose a variety of fitted or loose styled coats.
All of our workwear meets the strict standards set by the Food Industry Standards Australia New Zealand that make sure that your staff get the best protection, the clothes suffer the least from wear and tear as well as stains and wrinkles.
Speaking of choice, we also offer a wide variety of cutting edge and generic brands of workwear that range from chef and waiter’s jackets to chef pants and aprons which can all be customised with your restaurant’s logo.
If you want to know more about our wide selection of Food & Beverage workwear for your restaurant business, just call 1300 659 982 or use our contact form to speak to one of our representatives for an enquiry.
Protection from Spills, Fire and Heat for an Easier Time Working
Another key feature of our restaurant and kitchen workwear is that they use materials that protect you from the dangers of the kitchen such as extremely hot liquids from food preparation and cooking, heat radiating off of the stoves and ovens, and of course protection from fire as well.
The restaurant and kitchen workwear are also designed in a way that makes it so that the staff wearing them are less prone to accidents in the kitchen.
Some of the key design elements include:
- Tight-fitting long sleeves so that they don’t accidentally catch fire when cooking or dip into the food itself.
- Able to quickly and easily wear and undress the aprons, coats, and chef jackets so that they suit your needs when working in the kitchen without spending too much time adjusting them.
- Easily washable and more durable than regular restaurant and kitchen workwear thanks to different high-quality fabrics used.
Helping the Food Industry with High-Quality Garments
Aside from catering, the restaurant and kitchen industry, we here at Alsco also provide workwear for the food production industry with our wide variety of high-quality garments that we deliver to our customers.
Our food industry garments also adhere to the Food Industry Standards Australia New Zealand by providing garments that use high-quality fabrics and cutting-edge designs that make it both safe and comfortable to use for your staff.
Alsco’s food industry garments are made up of polyester and cotton blends which make it both lightweight and durable which is what your staff needs when handling any kind of food or meat preparation.
Another key feature is the very safe design of the garments that includes cuffed sleeves, internal pockets, and no external buttons which all make to minimise any kind of contamination when working.
Did we mention that we also offer colour-coded workwear to avoid any kind of cross-contamination when handling any food or sensitive material? This makes it easier for you to know which of your staff or workers are assigned to which area or what are their responsibilities such as handling different kinds of meat and so on.
Our food industry garments can also be used in the pharmaceutical industry because the workwear features a static dispersant coat that is lint-free making it specially designed for a cleanroom environment.
You too can make sure your products are clean, safe, and uncontaminated by using the services of Alsco Uniforms. Delivered freshly laundered to you week-after-week, as per a pre agreed schedule, keeping your workers looking great and feeling safe.
