What Omaha's weather means for restaurants and bars
Outdoor seating earns its keep from May to September, once the average high reaches 70°F or better; have lightweight staff tees and a summer retail tee ready before then. January lows average 15°F, cold enough that closing staff need a real layer for the walk out, and a cuffed beanie with the logo is a staff gift and a retail item at once. The swing from deep-winter nights to summer patio afternoons is wide, so a bar with a patio needs staff apparel for two seasons, with the same logo on a tee and a hoodie. Winter snowfall of about 27 inches means staff arrive cold and wet on snowy days, so a logo hoodie or work jacket for the commute is workwear here, not a perk. About 131 nights a year drop to 32°F or below, a third of the year or more, so beanies and hoodies are core staff kit and the backbone of the winter retail shelf.

When do patio staff in Omaha need a warmer layer?
Most of the year: highs average under 65°F from October through April, and in deep winter, when nights fall far below freezing, the patio layer has to be a lined jacket or a heavyweight hoodie.
