We’re sure that you know what you’re doing in your catering business, but with the holiday season coming up, we’re sure you can use a reminder. No matter how good your staff looks in their clothing from Sharper Uniforms, the level of service is what’s really going to make a lasting impression with your clients.

• Remain calm during the busy holiday season. It’s important that you and your staff never appear flustered. Everyone is stressed—you’re stressed, and the client that you’re catering the party for is probably stressed, too. Your best bet is to keep everyone calm.
• Make sure you meet your holiday deadlines. Catering can be a very unforgiving business, and you want to keep your clients happy. It’s reasonable to be five or ten minutes late, but being a half an hour late with food service is never a good idea.
• We like to think that good catering is a lot like Christmas. If you leave everything until the last minute, you’ll probably wish that you started sooner. Organize as much as you can in advance. Know what kind of uniforms or aprons your wait staff will be wearing.

Make sure that you have all of your ducks in a row for your catering events this holiday season. Best wishes from Sharper Uniforms!

With the holiday season virtually upon us, it’s more important than ever to make sure that everyone on your staff looks their absolute best. Take a minute and think about what a man needs to wear in order to look totally put together. Game show hosts wear them, CEOs wear them, and your hospitality staff should be wearing them, too. Of course, we’re talking about ties.

Our neckwear is the perfect finishing touch

Frankly, Regis Philbin wouldn’t have made much of a splash on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? if it wasn’t for his unique solid-colored ties. And can you imagine The Apprentice if Donald Trump didn’t wear a tie in the boardroom? The same goes for your staff this holiday season. The neckwear here at Sharper Uniforms isn’t just for men, either. We have ascots and other neckwear for women, too.

Whether you’re looking for bow ties, zipper ties, ascots, solid color polyester ties, scarves, and other neckwear, look no further than Sharper Uniforms. We’ll help you get your staff ready and sharp-looking for the upcoming holiday season! Don’t send them out there lacking an essential uniform component. Sometimes a first impression is all that you’ll get.

If you work in the restaurant and hospitality industry, you know how important aprons can be! That’s why we’re happy to have a great selection of aprons that are perfect for chefs, wait staff, and everyone else working at your business! Now that the holidays are approaching, it’s more important than ever to make sure your staff looks excellent. We want you to be ready for all of those banquets, parties, and gatherings that you might be hosting or catering.

Take the time to look through our selection of waist aprons and bistro aprons. You could spice things up for Thanksgiving or Christmas by outfitting your staff in seasonally appropriate colors. Imagine your wait staff in red and green aprons at a Christmas gala! They’ll certainly fit right in with all of the holiday cheer. There’s no better way to leave a good impression on your customers than with the right aprons. You can ensure that your staff looks put-together and sharp!

Modern casino uniforms follow modern trends. Here at Sharper Uniforms, we know what you want from your casino uniforms, and we’re committed to bringing that to you. Here are some facts about casino uniforms over the years.

The casino uniforms of the 1950s and 1960s reflected the Hollywood-inspired Rat Pack trend, when the casinos hosted elegant socialites. In the 1980s and 1990s, however, casinos began targeting families. That’s when the styles, fabrics and colors began to change. The focus was more wholesome fun. The colors were brighter and the fabric was more stable, with the appearance of the poly/cotton blend. Many of our casino shirts are a great poly/cotton blend.

In the new century, casinos began catering to a whole new clientele. Casinos these days are targeting the young, wealthy, and hip 20 to 35 year olds. That’s why many casino trends are going for a Los Angeles retail style, more ‘street clothes’ than traditional uniforms. You’ll find that the casino uniforms we have here at Sharper Uniforms are right on par with all of the current trends.

The best part about our casino uniforms is that they make your entire staff look friendly and put-together. With a tidy staff, your clients will feel comfortable and happy. That’s one of the most important things to a business owner.
