What Fort Worth'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. January lows average 37°F, so the crew leaving a late close needs more than a kitchen tee; order the winter staff layer in the same color as the summer shirt so the team still looks uniform. When the street hits 100°F, as it does on about 27 days a year, the kitchen line is hotter still, so pick the lightest durable blend for cooks and a performance polo for patio servers. Closing staff step out into freezing air on roughly 30 nights each year, so a beanie and a hoodie belong in the staff kit.

When do patio staff in Fort Worth 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.
