What Dallas's weather means for restaurants and bars
An average high of 97°F in August makes summer hard work on the line and the patio alike, so outfit servers in moisture-wicking polos and cooks in thin, quick-drying tees. December to February brings average highs under 65°F, the stretch when a long-sleeve staff tee and a logo hoodie earn their place, both behind the bar and at the register. A January average low of about 38°F makes a long-sleeve staff tee useful for early prep and late close, even in a city where the afternoon calls for short sleeves. When the street hits 100°F, as it does on about 22 days a year, the kitchen line is hotter still, so pick the lightest durable blend for cooks and a performance polo for patio servers. October is the rainy peak, around 4.8 inches, so give patio and delivery staff a dark layer that hides splashes and dries fast.

Ordering from Dallas
When do patio staff in Dallas need a warmer layer?
Not until December: highs average under 65°F only from then through February, so a light hoodie covers that stretch, and with summer heat lasting far longer, most of the staff budget belongs to breathable tees.
