Frequently asked questions
What polo shirts work best for restaurant staff uniforms?
Stain resistance is the main factor. Performance blends shed grease and food splatter better than cotton. For fine dining where the look matters more than spill recovery, pique cotton has a cleaner appearance. Servers usually go blend, hosts and managers can do cotton.
Can I order different polo designs for kitchen vs front-of-house staff?
Yes. One design with logo for FOH, another with role title (Line, Prep, Dish) for BOH. Each design needs to hit 20 pieces on its own.
How quickly can I get restaurant uniforms for a new location opening?
Total 12 to 18 business days from approved mockup to your door, including production, quality inspection and shipping. For a new location opening, place the order 5 weeks out. That gives you buffer for proof approval and shipping without stress.
Are these polo shirts machine-washable for daily restaurant use?
Yes, machine wash cold or warm. Embroidery uses commercial polyester thread that doesn't fade. Don't bleach the embroidered area, it'll discolor the thread over time. Otherwise standard restaurant laundry handling is fine.
How much do restaurant staff polo shirts cost?
Embroidered restaurant polos start at $29.95 per shirt with your logo on the chest, 20 pieces per design, and the per-piece price drops as quantity grows. Matching embroidered aprons are priced on the apron collection. Free mockup within 24 hours.
Do you make server and wait staff uniforms for fine dining?
Yes. Black, white, burgundy or charcoal polos with a small tone-on-tone logo read well in fine dining, and server names or roles can go on the sleeve. Pair them with a bistro or waist apron from our apron collection so the whole floor matches.
