Waiters pants are what the floor team works a full shift in, so they have to look smart from across a dining room and still be comfortable to carry, crouch and clear tables in all night. Waitress pants cut like office trousers look right and restrict movement; pants cut for comfort often look casual.
What resolves it is stretch and fabric. A little elastane in a smart-looking weave gives the movement without the look, and a fabric that holds black through repeated hot washes is what stops a floor team looking faded and mismatched by the end of the year. Waitress uniform pants also need a hem that sits right on the shoes staff actually wear.
Pants sit in the waiter clothing range with waiter shirts, waiter aprons and kitchen and hospitality footwear, and the rest of what a floor team carries is in waiter accessories. Order for the staff you have on now and add more as your business grows.
Costing a uniform for the whole floor team? The price guide lists the pants by size and fabric, so you can work out what it comes to per person.
These are the top FAQs for Waiters Pants
Why does black fade and what can I do about it?
Repeated hot washing and sunlight strip the dye, and once one pair has faded it stands out against the rest of the team. It is the main reason floor pants get replaced.
Wash dark garments together, inside out, and dry out of direct sun. Order all the pants in one run so they fade at the same rate.
Should waiters pants have stretch?
Yes, a small amount. A few per cent of elastane in the weave is the difference between a pair that can be crouched in to clear a low table and one that cannot, and it is invisible from the front.
Too much stretch starts to look like leggings and loses the shape. Composition is on the product page specifications.
How should the hem be set?
To just break on the shoe, measured with the shoes staff actually wear. A hem set with trainers on and worn with flat service shoes will sit wrong and pick up water off a wet floor.
Buy long and hem them. Match them to the footwear your uniform policy specifies.
What pockets does a floor team need?
Front pockets for keys and a phone, and that is about it. The pad, pen and opener belong in the apron, where they can be reached without lifting it.
Avoid back pockets with anything in them, because they are sat on through every break. The waiter aprons range covers the carrying.
Flat front or pleated?
Flat front looks current and sits better under an apron. Pleats give more room through the hip and read as dated, which matters when the pants are part of the venue's presentation.
Flat front with stretch gets you both. Try a sample under your actual apron before a bulk order.
How many pairs per person?
Two in regular use is usually workable because pants are not laundered as often as shirts, and three if your floor is wet or busy. Pants take less damage than shirts and aprons.
Order spares in the common sizes rather than one of each. See the wider waiter clothing range for the full set count.
How do these differ from kitchen pants?
Cut and fabric. Floor pants are tailored and smart and are not built for heat; kitchen pants are loose, breathable and patterned to hide marks, and would look out of place in a dining room.
Buy them separately for the two teams. See chef pants for the kitchen side.
