I noticed that most of the employees in most of restaurants or fast foods I have been to are wearing Red and Black. Such as; KFC, Panda Express, TGI Fridays, Red Robin, and Outer back. That leads me to curiosity. Do you know why they chose red and black color for their employees uniform? I know it sounded silly but out of curiosity, I asked this question. Response from you is high appreciated!

Red and black are my favorite colors. It seems to be a trend. Maybe the colors are to draw more attention so people know where to find them.

Everyone likes the colors red and black. I don't know why they chose those colors or why there are so many food places with those colors. Schools have those colors too. It is interesting to think about! I actually was wanting to buy a pair of black and red shoes really soon..

I don't know why a lot of restaurants have this color for their uniforms. I work at a mexican restaurant called La Senorita's and my uniform is all black. I am a busser and busser's shirts are either red or black so I guess my job is a good example of your question. Other employees there such as the waitresses have more of a festive colored shirt on and the kitchen workers have on green shirts. Managers get to wear what ever they want.

When I was taking Business courses they said that people reacted to different colors so they use some colors that has the effect on hunger. I believe orange is one of the colors, I don't don't about red or black. They might be cheaper for the company to buy. When you are buying uniforms some colors are cheaper then others.

Perhaps due to the nature of their work,they had to resolve to wearing that as stains aren't easily noticeable compared to other colors.
