Are you looking to renew your team uniform? Whether they are aprons or jackets, check out 5 steps to level up your team’s look with Chef Works Canada
Step 1: Gather your ideas
Before honing in on a specific uniform, widen your perspective.
Here’s some questions to get you started:
- Are you evolving your brand?
- Changing your menu offering? Or building a theme?
- What were the positives and negatives of your previous uniform that you’d like to maintain or avoid?
- How does your uniform need to work in its environment?
- What different roles do you need to outfit?
Our team can work with you to create a mood board of ideas to get you on the right path to discovering your ideal solution.
Step 2: Choose a uniform Program Manager that works for you
At Chef Works, we offer personalised data-driven services to manage your uniform program with ease and confidence. We empower you with a 360-degree view of your apparel program and give you all the tools needed to successfully manage it.
Step 3: Finalise your style and place your preliminary order
Once you’ve found a style that ticks all the boxes, it’s time to think about how to initially kit your team out with the new gear.
When it comes to placing your order, here’s a few questions to think about before deciding on the final numbers:
- What sizes do you need?
- How many pieces will you provide each member of staff?
- How often do you intend to refresh the items? Will you need some spares?
Step 4: Set up a training session
To get the most out of your new uniform style, consistency is key.
Start by training your management team on the uniform compilation and how to place orders. Chef Works’ Program Managers can assist if required and will equip you with the best education materials to get your team started.
When it comes to training your employees, remember, your enthusiasm for the new look will set expectations from the start. Get creative, host a ‘big reveal’ meeting or wrap up your team members uniforms like a gift.
Step 5: Encourage team feedback and ideas
So, you’ve chosen an airtight uniform concept (after all, our aim is to get it right first time) but if your team are unhappy then a great look won’t have the intended impact. In the early stages of uniform adoption seek and encourage team feedback.
Find out if they excel in their new uniform and if there is anything they would change. They will appreciate being involved and any uniform program can be evolved over time.
