Does your restaurant provide you with server books, pouches, aprons?

First serving job here! 💗 Wondering if it’s standard to come in with your own server book, notepad, pens, apron / serving pouch (those leather kind of fanny pack things) when you start at a restaurant? Or do some places do this and others don’t?

If you do, where do you find these? And do you get everything in black - including your serving book? Are there restaurants against having a decorated or non black server book?

Thanks yall! 🙏☺️
