Apron and Name Tag

"She" was wondering what sort of job "he," her neighbor held. What kind of job do you think the author suggests she suspected he had with "an apron and name tag"?

On her way to work, she saw him running, and when she got back, he was out biking or kayaking or in-line skating or shooting baskets in his front drive with a group of neighborhood kids. A month ago, he'd put his boat in the water, and now he was wakeboarding as well. As if the man weren't active enough already. God forbid the man should work a minute of overtime, and she knew that he didn't work at all on Fridays. And what kind of job let you head off every day wearing jeans and T-shirts? She had no idea, but she suspected - with a grim sort of satisfaction - that it more than likely required an apron and name tag.

Could this be kitchen staff? Or, anything else?

Thanks, as always.
