I worked at the Grand Canyon for a summer and they had us wear them, even though the kitchen was not visible to dining area. I can see the reasoning for the style. The hat doesn’t sit directly on top of the head so it allows your head to breath. Modern hats are a lot better at this now. Every other place I worked has had us wear baseball style caps or anything besides beanies or a material that won’t shed. Some go no hat with a shaved head and some use just a hairnet. The hairnet usually is worn by people who have longer hair that won’t stay under a cap.
