What San Antonio's weather means for restaurants and bars
A kitchen in San Antonio runs hotter than the street, and the street climbs to 90°F or more on about 112 days a year, so staff tees should be a light poly-cotton blend that dries between shifts. Patio staff want a layer from December to January, the cool stretch below a 65°F average high, and the same pullover sells at the register as a retail hoodie. A January 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. May is the rainy peak, around 4.4 inches, so give patio and delivery staff a dark layer that hides splashes and dries fast.
