Exploring The Five Main Factors That Play A Role In Determining The Cost Of Chef Jackets9886786

If you notice, chef jackets are currently being sold at different prices. We often have a situation where one chef jacket ends up costing ten times as much as another chef jacket. In one store alone, two types of chef jackets may be sold, but if the other one is on sale, you can buy them at different prices. At this point you could not help but wonder what causes this disparity in the selling prices of these chef jackets. That is the question we will be answering, as we explore the five main factors that influence the cost of these jackets.

The chef jacket would be created using a certain material, and that is the first determinant in its costing. In the interest of health and kitchen hygiene, it is important that the material to be used in making these chef jackets be chosen carefully. But it is not an all-imposing restriction or limitation. The manufacturers could still, within bounds, practice some leeway. Naturally, chef jackets made from material of high quality are bound to be pricier than those that are made from lower quality fabrics.

The second consideration would be the size of the chef jacket. This is where the super-sized jackets are sold at higher prices than the smaller jackets. However, there are some sellers who do not take the size of the jackets into account, charging a fixed rate for all of them.

Third on the list would be the design. The more detailed and the more elaborate the design of the jacket is, the more expensive it will be. In terms of color, all these jackets are supposed to plain white. The makers are, however, allowed to design them in various ways (but within certain standards). The bottom line is that elaborately-designed jackets have a higher price tag than the others.

The method by which the user purchases the chef jackets would also figure on its pricing. An hotelier who orders a chef jacket online, for instance, may ultimately pay less than one who orders the same item from a local tailor's store. Similarly, an hotelier who opts to buy a ready made chef jacket may pay less than one who orders for one to be custom-made.

The fifth determinant would be the number of jackets purchased or ordered by the hotelier. Buying in bulk would give you the advantage of lower unit cost of the chef jacket than if you buy only one or two. Of course the total price would still be higher if you buy in bulk. But further analysis would show that you will still be able to save money since you'd pay a lower cost per jacket. This is attributed to what we know as economies of scale. Plus, there is also the fact that bulk discounts are more freely given to bulk purchasers.
