• Formal Restaurant and choice of Uniform
• The formal restaurants are the most expensive and
  hence expected to provide the best service in the
  town. It offers a variety of high-end menu with
  classified options of wine, beverages, and
  service. The ambiance of the interior, furniture,
  cutlery have to be well designed, and the vibe of
  the space should be formal. In such a hospitality
  space, the waiter should wear tuxedos with
  a formal shirt. The most common pick is all black
  pants and jacket with the proper detail of bow
  tie, polished shoes, and gloves. 
• There must be a variable consideration of the
  weather. In summers, the suit jacket can be
  replaced by the waistcoat both for male and
  female waiters. The mannerisms are very
  important, and the staff should be trained to
  serve food and pour wine. The design ideas to
  create the restaurant image through the waiters
  Uniform can be incorporated by adding colors and
  classic checker print in the waistcoat or apron.

• Thematic Restaurant Uniform Designs
• The thematic restaurant is a category that makes
  the hospitality service exclusive by the
  ambiance, interior design, food type, or theme.
  In Australia, there are various exciting
  restaurants designed on different themes with the
  association of music, place, activity of the
  region. One can not miss a Chinese restaurant by
  the restaurants food aroma and oriental theme,
  and you mostly find waiters wearing the red and
  black Uniform. This is called the identity and
  brand projection indulgence.
• Other than oriental restaurants, the themes vary,
  and the waiters uniforms add so much visual
  value and experience to the overall feel of the
  place. In bars and restaurants, the waiters can
  also wear costumes and role play as characters
  for example, the countryside steak house can have
  a cowboy waiter with an indie accent, which will
  become the attraction point for the people to
  come to your hospitality business.
• The waiter can wear bright pants with the
  white-collar shirt, optional tie, and a bow for
  neutral-themed restaurants. The apron could carry
  the logo or brand colors.

• Semi-formal Restaurants
• In semi-formal restaurants, the furniture layout
  and interior design are not very formal. There is
  a feeling of ease and sophisticated casualness in
  the air. The food and menu are not strictly
  following the fine-dining premises. It can have
  fast food or a salad bar side orders. The waiters
  should look proper and neat with the dress pants
  and a nicely designed apron. The waistcoat is a
  good Uniform item that makes the waiter stand on
  the borderline of formal and semi-formal. The
  rest should be taken care of by the mannerism of
  serving and taking orders.
• The apron design is a crucial piece in a waiters
  Uniform that makes or breaks your hospitality
  services image. A nice neck-line or collar
  shape, with slit pockets down the waist and an
  excellent fit, makes a beautiful semi-formal
  apron design.

  casual atmosphere and food type served with the
  options of fast food, snacks, salad bar, and
  cocktails. The dine-in affordable service
  attracts the people to your restaurant, and they
  can afford to be there often. The waiters
  Uniform also carries this feel-good casualness
  and a flare of uniqueness.
