Many college students enjoy working in hotels over summer vacation. It can help give them the skills that they need to enhance their resume—and the extra money doesn’t hurt, either. As a hotel or restaurant manager, it’s up to you to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Choosing the proper summertime hotel staff uniforms is essential. After all, you don’t want your summer staff bailing on you before the season is over just because they were hot and uncomfortable on the job. When you choose your hotel uniforms from Sharper Uniforms, you can rest assured that your staff (temporary or permanent) will be as comfortable as possible as they cater to your guests.

We’re not just talking about outdoor staff, either. Everyone needs to be comfortable during the summer. What if your air conditioning breaks? What if they need to walk a guest out to their car? Everyone is going to have to battle the heat at some point. You need to ensure that your wait staff, reception desk personnel, office workers, cleaners, and other administrators are comfortable. Take the time and look through our resort hotel uniforms. Many are crafted from state-of-the-art moisture wicking material that is sure to leave everyone feeling cool and comfortable throughout the day.

The casino industry offers a wide variety of job opportunities. Each job is important, and it’s a great industry to get into. Some jobs require math skills and others require a specific license—but the majority of casino jobs require a customer service orientation with an eye for providing a memorable and entertaining experience for patrons. With the right staff and the right casino uniforms, you can really make an impression.

The heart of the casino is the gaming staff. Game floor employees execute the card games. Dealers deal cards, shuffle the deck, exchange chips for cash, and figure payouts to winning hands. Floor managers (or “pit bosses”) oversee a group of dealers and tables. A state gaming license is required to work the game floor.

Cage cashiers perform credit card transactions, cash checks, transfer chips to the casino floor, and redeem chips. Similarly, the soft count team counts and sorts the contents of the drop boxes where dealers put money when exchanging for chips at the table. Accountants audit food and beverage banks, the cage, and casino tables. These positions also require a state gaming license.

The food and beverage department includes servers, bartenders, cooks, and supplementary personnel (like bar backs, bussers, expediters, and supervisors). Gaming licenses aren’t required for these jobs, but some positions might require liquor control licenses.

No matter where you work in a casino, it’s important to have the right casino uniform. You can find everything you need right here at Sharper Uniforms!

Polo shirts are among the most classic uniform pieces. But do you know anything about where they came from? We’ve got great polo shirts for men and women here at Sharper Uniforms—so we were interested in their history.

Polo shirts date back to the 1800s when polo players began wearing them as sporting attire. (Guess the name makes sense, then!) They are sometimes referred to as a golf shirt or a tennis shirt, too. When not being used as a classic uniform piece, polo shirts can also be seen on people at country clubs and in offices of casual Fridays.

A long sleeved polo shirt was first worn in the 1800s by polo players. But in 1926 a revolution happened! Tennis player Rene Lacoste created a short sleeved version to wear while playing. We’re so glad he did! A classic uniform style was born.

Many different fashion trends are associated with polo shirts, as well. There were the “preppy” people in the 1980s… and lately people have been seen wearing more than one at a time! (We’re not sure how much we like that—or the “popping collars.”) We love polo shirts for their undeniably professional look. (When worn properly, of course.)

We’ve got a great selection of hospitality neckwear here at Sharper Uniforms. You can’t deny that your staff just looks better in ties, scarves, and other types of neckwear. But have you ever wondered why neckwear is the standard? Well, we did… we did a little bit of poking around to find the answer. As to many other things, you can find the answer in history.

Neckties actually date back hundreds of years—coming into existence as the direct result of war. In the 17th century, a regiment from Croatia visited Paris as a celebration of their victory over the Ottoman Empire. The soldiers were presented to King Louis XIV as heroes. If you know your history, you know that Louis XIV was a big fan of personal adornment. The officers of this Croatian regiment were wearing brightly colored handkerchiefs around their necks. Louis XIV was impressed by these scarves, and he made scarves a symbol of royalty. In fact, the word “cravat” is directly derived from the word “Croat.”

The tradition of wearing neckties rests pretty deep in our culture. Make sure your staff is outfitted with the appropriate neckwear. Your customers expect it!

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, many would-be Casanovas are going to be ordering takeout in an effort to impress their lady friends. This can be a great day for your restaurant or catering business. If you have a delivery service, you need to make sure that your staff looks great when they drop the food off—you don’t want to be the reason a guy gets turned down on Valentine’s Day! That’s why we have the perfect hospitality outerwear for your delivery staff right here at Sharper Uniforms. They’ll look clean and crisp in their jackets and sweaters.

But that’s really only half the battle. You also need to make sure that your food gets to the happy couple in one piece. We’ve got you covered as far as the uniforms and clothing are concerned—and we also have a few tips for you when it comes to transporting your hot food.

• Make sure you have well-insulated plastic or metal containers for transporting the food.
• Wrap the food well. This will ensure that it arrives the way it’s supposed to—as opposed to all over the floor of the delivery vehicle!
• You can even double the wrap job by using both plastic wrap and foil.

The best job is a job done right. With a little bit of care and the right hospitality outerwear, your business will make the right impression this Valentine’s Day. And when you make a good impression on your customers, they’ll keep coming back. (The same sort of goes for the would-be Casanova on Valentine’s Day… he wants to make a good impression just as much as you do!)

We’ve got the best hospitality uniforms for your staff here at Sharper Uniforms. We love learning about different types of uniforms. The Museum of Flight in Seattle is opening their “Style in the Aisle” exhibit, and we thought we’d take a look at flight attendant uniforms over the years. This exhibit takes us from the first flight attendants in the 1930s, through the brightly-colored 1960s and 1970s, and right up into today. Let’s see how much has changed in this unique uniform market.

• In the 1930s, uniforms were plain gray suits that actually resembled nurses’ uniforms.
• Uniforms changed with the times in the 1940s and the women’s clothing was a little more fashion forward.
• By 1966, the skirts on flight attendants’ uniforms was a little shorter than it was before—sitting right around the knee.
• Later on in the 1960s, the flight attendants’ uniforms were downright mod. The pieces were a selection of bright, solid colors. In many cases, the colors were inspired by the flight’s destination—green, Pacific blue, and canyon red.
• The 1970s were similar. The collection that stands out to us the most is the American Field Flowers Collection. (If you flew in the 70s, you remember this uniform.)
• We should also mention that hemlines got even shorter on the attendants’ uniforms throughout the 1970s.
• Today, flight attendant uniforms are very much like the hospitality uniforms you’ll find here at Sharper Uniforms—crisp, neat, modest, and attractive.
