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.
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, in-house embroidery.
We need a few key details to get started:
Shipping & Billing Information: We need to know where to send your uniforms and the contact details of the person managing your brand’s uniform program. We also want to know how you’ll pay for the order and who to send invoices to.
Customization Details: This is where your brand guidelines come into play. We need a digital copy of your logo at the bare minimum, but it always helps if you have PMS colors that we can match the thread to. We then digitize the logo for all of the garments that you’ll be ordering and file it.
Deadlines: For new establishments, timing is everything. Providing your deadline ensures uniforms arrive when you need them most.
Budget: We have a variety of items at all different price points. If you have a budget, let us know ahead of time so we can make recommendations that are in line.
But don’t be mistaken by the name Chef Duds, our expertise extends outside of restaurant apparel. We also have custom hotel uniforms, corporate apparel options and so much more. Our wide variety of work shirts, pants, and accessories can outfit staff members of any business.
