Jim is the Co-Founder and CEO of Stock Manufacturing Group, a Chicago-based custom uniform company for the hospitality industry.
Is there any more of a hot-button topic in a hotel or restaurant than uniforms? Whether it’s personal style or budgets, if you’ve ever worn or been responsible for purchasing uniforms you’ll know that few topics bring out such strong opinions.
What’s interesting is that the landscape for uniforms has been changing over time. The days of heavy, uninteresting, one size fits all clothing is making way for more contemporary design that can live between both work and social life - and it’s the understanding that uniforms play such a huge role in telling the story of an establishment and in many cases be a recruiting or retention factor that is driving this.
This episode tries to highlight some of the trends and hurdles to be aware of with a uniform program, and what you should have an eye on if you intend to dive into this deep end of the pool.
Jim also has a 20% off your first order offer for listeners at the end of the show, so be sure to listen for that.
