I don't know who introduced uniforms in the hospitality field but he/she/they did a great job. Uniforms makes hospitality businesses shine and attractive to both staff members and customers.
Some industries get away with not wearing uniforms, but they miss out on some benefits of having to wear uniforms to work. It comes with some importance such as;
1. It improves first impression - which counts so much in such cases where you come face to face with a customer. If they were to meet an unkempt and cheaply dressed receptionist, they would feel turned off immediately. But uniforms provided by companies are always clean, attractive and makes one look professional.
2. Increases recognition and identifying different roles of workers - in a restaurant, you wouldn't differentiate who is a worker and who is a waiter, waitress or chef if there were no uniforms. So you can easily get the help you need as you know who to call.
3. Uniforms promote branding and advertisment - you have the chance to emblazon your logo on the uniform. So wherever your workers go wearing the uniform, your business gets recognized. After a few days of seeing this, they will just want to try your restaurant.
Uniforms may be so cumbersome to wear daily if you love fashion and staying in style. But it works so well for the company and even for yourself. Your customers see you as a professional in your field and can connect you to other opportunities.
