Frequently asked questions
What do servers and wait staff usually wear?
Most full-service restaurants put servers in a fitted polo or collared shirt in black, white, navy or burgundy, paired with a waist or bib apron. Fine dining leans toward black on black with a small tone-on-tone logo. Casual and fast-casual concepts use brighter polo colors so the team is easy to spot on the floor.
How much do server uniforms cost?
Embroidered server polos start at $29.95 per shirt with your logo on the chest, and embroidered aprons are $24.95 each. Logo digitization and the digital mockup are free, and the per-piece price drops as your quantity grows.
What is the minimum order for wait staff uniforms?
Embroidered polos start at 20 pieces per design, with sizes mixed freely from XS to 3XL. Aprons can be ordered from 1 piece. Servers, hosts and bar staff can each have their own design on the same order.
Can we add server names or roles to the uniforms?
Yes. Names or roles such as Server, Host or Manager can be embroidered on the sleeve or right chest, with no extra setup. Names can vary per shirt within the same design.
