Chef Duds' Guide to Custom Restaurant Apparel
By Vali Simpkins
High-quality uniforms are essential for any restaurant, whether you’re a five-star fine dining establishment or a cozy neighborhood bistro. Your kitchen, management, and waitstaff are extensions of your brand, and their appearance should represent your concept in style. Feeling confident and comfortable in a custom restaurant uniform encourages your staff to perform at the highest level.
At Chef Duds, we use in-house embroidery services to bring your brand and custom logo to life across a wide range of restaurant apparel. To exceed your expectations, we begin with a few key details to ensure accuracy and timeliness:
-
Shipping Information: We need to know where to send your uniforms and the contact details of the person managing your brand’s uniform program.
-
Customization Details: Let us know how much you’d like your embroidered logo to stand out, along with the correct spelling of any names or titles to personalize chef coats, polo shirts, custom aprons, or other restaurant apparel.
-
Deadlines: For new establishments, timing is everything. Providing your deadline ensures uniforms arrive when you need them most.
Our embroidery logo setup process is handled online to guarantee color accuracy. We match thread colors precisely using the PMS colors specifically for your branding, and we offer guidance on how your logo can complement the color of your garments for a cohesive, professional look.
We help our partners create comprehensive uniform programs to outfit every member of their staff. For your kitchen crew, we stock a variety of custom chef uniforms, cook shirts, chef pants, chef hats, and chef coats. For your front-of-house members, we can customize a wide assortment of short-sleeve and long-sleeve dress shirts, work shirts, and even custom t-shirts. Plus, we supply bib aprons, waist aprons, and other accessories to complete the look. We’re able to personalize these apparel options with custom embroidery.
But don’t be mistaken by the name Chef Duds, our expertise extends outside of restaurant apparel. We also supply custom hotel uniforms, hospital scrubs and corporate apparel options. Our wide variety of work shirts, pants, and accessories can outfit staff members of any retail or hospitality business. And if your organization needs custom merchandise, we can provide embroidery and screen printing for hoodies, sweatshirts, vests, hats, beanies, totes, and outerwear.
