How To Choose A Chef Jacket For Your New Cook671607

There are two key ways in which an hotelier can get a chefs clothing  for a newly employed cook. All staff members in a kitchen who are directly involved in preparing food should have a uniform that includes a jacket. Similar to doctors with their own coats, a lot of senior chefs also have their very own chef jackets. It is a different case with the not so senior kitchen staff. You, as the hotelier, would have to supply them with chef jackets that are, for all intents and purposes, their uniform. It becomes necessary to have the cooks wear the chef jackets so as to comply with public health standards/rules. That is where we tend to have a requirement that all kitchen staff members who are actually involved in food production should wear chef jackets (or equivalent pieces of clothing). There are business implications too, and having cooks wearing chef jackets does have the effect of making an establishment look classy.

Now the first way in which an hotelier can get a chef jacket for a newly employed cook is by getting one custom-made (by the tailors who make these sorts of uniform items). Many big-time hoteliers have contracts with such tailors, to supply them with new chef jackets for newly employed cooks, as needs arise. The good thing with this particular approach is that it ensures the chef gets a well-fitting, made-to-measure jacket. On the downside though, this approach does mean that the newly employed cook has to wait for quite a while, as his or her new jacket is tailored. This sort of waiting introduces a measure of inefficiency, especially in cases where it runs into several days (during which the newly-employed cook has to be kept on the payroll).

The second way in which an hotelier can get a chef jacket for a newly employed cook is by ordering a ready-made one. This can either be done online, or in a local store dealing with these types of clothing items. This approach does have one major advantage: in the fact that it doesn't involve waiting for the jacket to be made. This is important, because in many cases, cooks have to be employed on an urgent basis and having them wait for chef jackets to be custom made for them can be costly. It is also worth noting that the ready made chef jackets tend to be cheaper than those that are custom made.

Those, in a nutshell, are the ways in which an hotelier can get a chef jacket for a newly employed cook. As we have seen, each approach has its own upside and downside. In the final analysis, the circumstances surrounding the employment of the new cooks dictate how the hoteliers go about getting chef jackets for them. For instance, in cases where cooks are employed on an urgent basis, it is often necessary to get ready made chef jackets for them. That is as opposed to waiting for customized chef jackets to be made for them.
