How a Uniform Service Saves Your Restaurant Money
Uniforms are extremely beneficial to your business for many reasons, but how you get those uniforms is also important. Using a uniform rental service is the most effective way to supply your business’s uniforms. Uniform rental service by Republic Master Chefs is not only convenient, but also very cost effective.
Here’s why:
Uniform Services Save Money
Whether you outsource your restaurant’s uniform laundry or do it yourself, you’re paying too much.
- Uniform Laundry Services might do a great job of cleaning your uniforms, but they’re not doing everything. If there’s a tear or immovable stain on the uniforms, they’re under no obligation to fix it. They may not even notice or let you know that it’s there. It’s not until you see the same stain or damage on the same employee will the issue reveal itself.
Even if they notice and inform you, you’re still down one uniform and have to pay for another. That’s time spent looking, money spent purchasing, and more money spent fitting if necessary.
- Self-Cleaning is not only time and energy consuming, but it is by far the most expensive way to manage your uniforms. Unless you have access to an industrial laundry machine, you or an unfortunate employee is stuck for hours at the laundromat. Between the detergents, fabric softeners, utility costs, and detailing tools, self-cleaning costs don’t end.
Despite those expenses, the truly expensive part of self cleaning is the time it takes.
Uniform Services Save Time
Though money is what we’re always trying to conserve, time is arguably more valuable. With more time, a business owner is able to think of improvements or changes that will make more money.
Time is your most valuable asset. When it’s spent on mundane and unnecessary things like fitting, laundering, and managing uniforms, there’s no getting it back. Every moment spent fretting about uniforms is a moment not spent on vital functions of the business.
Uniform Services Save Energy
With more energy comes more productivity. A business owner’s responsibility isn’t only to their restaurant and employees, but to themselves as well. If you’re burning yourself out by taking on every possible responsibility, your business will ultimately suffer. There’s a reason captains stay behind the ship’s wheel and aren’t ever seen scrubbing the deck.
The Importance of Well-fitted, Always-Clean Uniforms
Uniforms benefit your business in multiple ways. They give your workforce a professional appearance, motivate your employees, and represent your company when it matters most. This is all true, but only if those uniforms are well-fitted and clean. If they’re not, they quickly have the opposite effect.
Poorly Fitted, Dirty Uniforms Make Bad Impressions
First impressions in restaurants set the stage for the customer’s ultimate experience. For that reason, the appearance of a restaurant’s employees is a determining factor in a customer’s experience. When an employee’s uniform is stained, wrinkled, too tight, or too loose, customers or clients can’t help but notice.
Bad Impressions Create a Bad Reputation
Those bad impressions might not have any immediate effect, but chronically messy or careless appearances can establish a sloppy reputation. In the restaurant business, that’s bad news. Because sanitary conditions and comfortable atmosphere are vital to the customer experience, poorly clothed employees threaten both of those factors.
If a reputation becomes too soiled, that undoubtedly affects business in a bad way.
