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.
