One of the final details to put in place before opening your business is selecting uniforms. Many companies use the standard “all-black” look, while others provide branded shirts or ties to keep the whole team consistent. Some assign a color scheme to allow for some creative expression, while others give employees free rein. Noelle, Liz, and George are calling the fashion police and discussing questions, including:

• Do leggings count as pants?
• Does the clientele determine whether showing cleavage gets you better or worse tips?
• Would you tune into a “Thong Song” episode of Restaurant Punk?
• What’s the best way to remove pet hair from black uniforms?
• Are standardized, but not matching, uniforms becoming more acceptable?
