What Irving's weather means for restaurants and bars
A kitchen in Irving runs hotter than the street, and the street climbs to 90°F or more on about 106 days a year, so staff tees should be a light poly-cotton blend that dries between shifts. Patio evenings turn cool from December to February, with January averaging a high of just 57°F, so stock staff hoodies for the patio and put the same pullover on the retail shelf for the holidays. January lows average 36°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 20 days a year, the kitchen line is hotter still, so pick the lightest durable blend for cooks and a performance polo for patio servers. May 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 Irving
When do patio staff in Irving 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.
