Restaurant Uniforms & Hospitality Staff Apparel
A consistent staff look for your next shift, new opening or busy season — with in-house printing and embroidery, garment-specific advice and a clear quote before you approve the order.
Staff shirts that make your team easy to recognize
Build a consistent look across counter, floor and kitchen roles without assuming every employee needs the same garment. Printed T-shirts and long sleeves suit a casual staff look; embroidered polos and hats offer a different finish for customer-facing teams. Separate quantities and sizes by role, and tell us where each logo should appear so the quote reflects the actual order.
- Counter and service staff T-shirts
- Embroidered polos and hats
- Long sleeves for seasonal shifts
- Hoodies for staff layers
Restaurants, cafés and bakeries: plan around the shift
For an independent restaurant, café or bakery, start with the staff's daily use: a lightweight tee for a busy counter, a polo for table service, or a layer for early starts. Share your preferred fabric, fit and colors rather than choosing from a logo mockup alone. Care instructions and any garment features depend on the selected blank; branded apparel is not a promise of stain resistance, food-safety compliance or protective performance.
- Garment choices by staff role
- Adult sizes and preferred fits
- Logo visibility on chest, back or sleeve
- Manufacturer care guidance for selected garments
Bars, catering and hospitality teams with changing schedules
For a bar team, catering crew or hospitality business, distinguish your regular staff order from apparel for a particular service, venue or event. Send the first date the garments are needed and a size list for each role. If staff will wear different designs, locations or garment styles, list those separately so setup and decoration can be reviewed before approval. Production timing is confirmed in your quote; rush options are subject to availability.
Seasonal staff replenishment without guesswork
Before a busy season or another hiring round, reference your previous order and send the new quantities, sizes and need-by date. We review the original artwork and current garment availability before quoting the new run. Keep a staff size list and the approved logo layout to make that brief clearer. Reorders are new orders: the standard 36-piece screen printing minimum still applies, while embroidery and product minimums vary. Previous pricing and stock are not automatically guaranteed.
- Reference the previous order
- Update quantities and staff sizes
- Confirm current artwork and placements
- Allow time for availability and schedule review
Optional branded merch for customers and regulars
Keep customer merchandise separate from the staff uniform brief. A run of restaurant logo tees, café hoodies or bakery merchandise may use different fits, colors and artwork from employee apparel. Specify quantities by style and design, and request an itemized quote for each. We decorate the agreed order; this is not a retail store, inventory-management or fulfillment-service offer.
- Logo T-shirts and long sleeves
- Branded hoodies
- Separate staff and customer quantities
- Distinct artwork and size breakdowns

What affects your restaurant apparel quote
Garment choice, quantity, artwork colors, print locations and decoration method affect pricing. For embroidery, logo detail and digitizing requirements also matter. The standard screen printing minimum is 36 pieces; embroidery minimums varies by garment and design, and other product minimums varies by product and decoration method. Do not assume different garments or designs combine into one minimum. Send your breakdown so we can confirm the order requirements; there are no unconfirmed package prices on this page.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum for restaurant staff T-shirts?
Our standard screen printing minimum is 36 pieces. Send quantities by garment, design and size so we can confirm the requirements. Embroidery and other product minimums vary; 36 is not a blanket minimum for every method.
Can you embroider our logo on polos and hats?
Yes. Share your logo, preferred polos or hats, quantities and placement. We review garment suitability, logo detail and digitizing requirements; embroidery minimums vary by garment and design.
Can staff apparel and customer merchandise be quoted together?
Yes — include both in one request, but list separate quantities, sizes, garments and artwork for each. We review the decoration setups and minimums rather than assume all items form a single run.
How do seasonal replenishment orders work?
Reference the previous order and send updated quantities, sizes and your target date. We confirm current garment availability and provide a new quote. The standard screen printing minimum remains 36 pieces; embroidery and product minimums vary.
Will the garments be stain-resistant or protective?
Features and care instructions depend on the selected garment's manufacturer specifications. Printing or embroidering a logo does not certify apparel for food safety, stain resistance, flame resistance or other protective performance.
How soon will we receive a quote?
We reply with a free quote and mockup within 24 business hours. Send your logo, garment preferences, quantities, sizes, colors, print locations and need-by date for a useful quote.
Can you meet a restaurant opening or event deadline?
Send the date before placing your order. Production timing depends on the order, garment availability and artwork approval; rush options are subject to availability. A quote response is not a promise of next-day production.
Do you serve hospitality businesses across NYC and Long Island?
Yes. Our New Hyde Park shop serves all five NYC boroughs — Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island — plus Nassau and Suffolk counties. Pickup or delivery arrangements are confirmed in your quote.
