Spring into Action

With the spring holiday season right around the corner, are you ready to impress customers coming your way?

According to a recent report in Nation’s Restaurant News, analysts see start of restaurant recovery. “We officially declare that ‘the restaurant consumer recovery’ began in March 2010,” said Cowen & Co. analyst Paul Westra in an analyst note this week. Westra said same-store sales appear to be rising at restaurant chains, a phenomenon he witnessed in 2003 as the industry came out of a recession. Following a gain in samestore sales in May 2003, restaurant stocks jumped 45 percent over the next year.*

So, wouldn’t you like your staff to look their best at all times with the pending rebound? According to Arden

Companies’ data**, server and employee appearance rank among the top five reasons for a patron to select and revisit a restaurant. Sysco wants your servers to look their best to enhance your patron’s dining experience. Any one of the nine duraSERV® apron styles will accomplish this goal. Whether you’re appealing to a formal dining atmosphere in our “VestApron®” or serving casual fare in the “waist apron” your staff’s appearance will be impeccable. Additional options to choose from include several styles of bib apron, the bistro apron and the tuxedo apron.

Sysco brand duraSERV® server aprons are 100% spun polyester, double-stitched, and reinforced at all stress points. Adjustable necks and extra-long waist ties are what make the Sysco brand duraSERV® the best. Although black is the standard color, the duraSERV® server apron is also available in burgundy, navy blue, red, hunter green and white.

Sysco brand duraSERV® aprons also keep your servers organized. They offer three full-sized pockets and one pen pocket, accommodating all of their supplies to efficiently serve your patrons. Sysco brand duraSERV® server aprons are also easy to clean because the 100% polyester fabric does not absorb liquids so they can be wiped clean, run through the dishwasher and even bleached without fading or losing their shape.

With Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, and Father’s day coming soon, make sure your servers and employees always look their best. For more information, contact your Sysco marketing associate.
