Disposable Chef Hats & Hair Restraints Buying Guide

The Perfect Hat for Every Job


A cook working at a restaurant has long, untied hair. While preparing a delicious, perfectly cooked lamb chop drizzled with garlic-rosemary sauce with a side of garlic mashed potatoes, a strand of long black hair floats onto the potatoes unbeknownst to the cook. Now that customer gets to experience garlic mashed with a side of hair. Doesn’t sound overly appetizing now, does it?

This is a picture perfect example of why anyone working with or near food is required to wear a hair or beard restraint if needed. Caps help to protect food from outside contaminants, and finding a hair in your food is disgusting! Don’t make your customers lose their appetite, use CiboWares selection of chef hats, beanie caps and hair nets to keep your kitchen sanitary, and let customers enjoy their meal without the nasty surprises.
