About

First-Rate Service, First-Name Basis

Appearance and comfort mean everything in the restaurant industry, but there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to outfitting your staff. We work closely with our partners to create and curate custom uniforms, apparel, and accessories to meet their needs and match their brand. Whether it’s a chef coat or apron you need yesterday or a top-to-bottom uniform program for every position on your future staff, Chef Duds Inc. makes it happen.

Shop all

For more than three decades, tight-knit relationships have driven how we run our business and how we handle yours. From national chains to regional franchises to locally-owned single locations, we treat every client, every order, and every issue like it’s our most important – because it is.

FAMILY-OWNED, OPERATED, AND ORIENTED
