Your logo, on every shift

Your staff are the face of the room. Matching uniforms make a team look sharp and make it easy for guests to know who to ask. And when the shirt is good enough, regulars start asking to buy one.

We make restaurant apparel for kitchens, cafes, bars, bakeries and food trucks across Los Angeles, from our shop at 2710 S Broadway Avenue.

What do restaurants order?

  • Embroidered polos for front of house. See business polos.
  • Staff tees for kitchen crews, counters and food trucks. See t-shirts.
  • Aprons with your logo on the chest
  • Embroidered hats and beanies for the line and the counter. See hats.
  • Merch for guests: tees, hats and totes to sell at the register

Printed or embroidered?

Embroidery stitches your logo into the fabric. It looks clean, reads as premium and handles frequent washing well. Best for polos, hats, aprons and jackets.

Screen printing lays down bold ink, from 12 pieces. Best for staff tees and merch with big graphics.

DTG suits full-color and photo art, from 12 pieces.

Need names on uniforms? We add them with heat transfer.

What makes a uniform last in a restaurant?

  • Pick darker or mid-tone colors that hide kitchen wear.
  • Keep the logo simple so it stitches cleanly at chest size.
  • Order extras in common sizes for new hires.
  • Match the job. Kitchen crews need breathable fabric; front of house can go sharper with polos or button-ups.

Merch your regulars will buy

A great restaurant tee or hat becomes free advertising every time a regular wears it around town. Keep the design simple and tied to your name or neighborhood, pick a quality blank and stock a few sizes at the counter. Screen printing on bigger runs keeps the per-piece cost down.
