• D. Uniform must be clean but name tag is not required.

Answer: (A)

Standard grooming emphasizes a clean, professional, and brand-consistent appearance that also supports food safety and guest comfort. The elements include a clean, branded uniform with a name tag, hair tied back or kept neat, minimal jewelry, and no strong fragrances. Wearing a branded uniform helps guests recognize Cane's team and keeps a uniform look across all staff. A name tag facilitates friendly, approachable service and accountability. Hair neatly secured prevents hair from falling into food and keeps operations safe. Minimal jewelry minimizes contamination risks and reduces the chance of items catching on equipment. No strong fragrances ensures a pleasant environment for guests with sensitivities and avoids overpowering scents. The other options miss key parts of this standard: casual clothing undermines brand and hygiene, making the uniform optional creates inconsistency, and omitting the name tag reduces guest interaction and accountability.
