What Fresno's weather means for restaurants and bars
An average high of 98°F in July 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. Patio evenings turn cool from December to February, with December averaging a high of just 55°F, so stock staff hoodies for the patio and put the same pullover on the retail shelf for the holidays. A December average low of about 40°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. Triple-digit afternoons arrive on roughly 39 days a year, so outfit patio servers in performance polos and cooks in thin poly-cotton tees, and keep spares on hand. Rain totals just 11 inches a year, so patio staff work in sun most of the time; a breathable cap and a light-colored polo fit them better than rain gear.

Ordering from Fresno
When do patio staff in Fresno 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.
