Hospitality uniforms with logo

Chef and waiter workwear with logo branding

Our hospitality uniforms category brings together the pieces chefs and front-of-house teams actually use: aprons, chef hats, work trousers, tunics, and a few practical accessories that finish the look. It’s built for restaurants, hotels, bars, catering, and pastry shops where hygiene and first impressions matter.

A polished team look that still feels comfortable on shift:

Hospitality isn’t gentle on clothing. Heat, stains, constant movement and frequent washing quickly show what’s good and what isn’t.

Choose coordinated sets for kitchen and service so the brand looks consistent across roles.
Pick colourways that look clean in your space and stay practical for daily wear.
Match small details like headwear and accessories to make the whole team look intentional.

Aprons and pockets: the “small” detail that saves time:

In a rush, you feel every design decision. Apron length, pocket layout, and ties matter more than people expect.

Use shorter, pocketed aprons for bar and service work, and longer cuts for a classic front-of-house silhouette.
Go with elastic-waist styles when the job involves a lot of bending, lifting, and walking.
Add headwear that fits securely, so it stays in place during fast-paced work.

Hot kitchen, terrace, or banquet: dress for the environment:

Not everyone works in the same conditions. One person is on the grill, another is outside, and someone else is running events indoors.

For warm environments, consider breathable options like mesh-insert chef caps or jackets with ventilated panels.
For banquets, build a more formal set where accessories help the team look sharp and uniform.
For terraces and catering, layer smartly so staff can adapt quickly to temperature changes.

Fabrics that survive washing — hospitality uniforms should be built for it:

Most teams choose between cotton and polycotton blends because they want comfort, colour stability, and easy care. Many styles are designed for 60°C washing, and some are suitable for industrial washing at higher temperatures.

Choose polycotton when fast drying and easier maintenance are priorities.
Go for heavier canvas or denim-look aprons when you want a premium, boutique-style feel.
Pick kitchen textiles that make sense for frequent laundering and constant use.

Outfitting a team without guesswork:

When you’re dressing multiple people, the biggest issues are sizing, fit, and colour consistency. That’s where structured selection helps.

Build role-based standards (kitchen, service, manager) so onboarding new staff stays consistent.
Separate everyday rotation pieces from event-ready items to keep your wardrobe practical.
Mix fits (unisex, women’s, men’s) while keeping the visual identity aligned.

Branding that stays clean: printing and embroidery for hospitality:

Your logo needs to be readable, durable, and placed where it works for the job. We typically embroider on the chest or on caps, and use direct screen printing, DTF transfers, or DTG depending on fabric and artwork. For certain polyester surfaces, sublimation can be a smart choice, and for venue equipment we can add UV-DTF or PVC stickers. If you want hospitality uniforms to feel like part of your brand, we’ll suggest a setup that still looks sharp after regular washing.

Use embroidery for a premium look on aprons, tunics, and headwear.
Choose screen printing or DTF when you need larger graphics or multi-colour designs.
Place logos (chest, back, sleeve) so they stay visible to guests and comfortable for staff.

Which apron makes more sense for a bar team: a short pocketed apron or a classic long apron without pockets?

For bar work, a short apron with pockets is usually more practical for tools and notes; a long no-pocket apron looks more formal for floor service.

Is hospitality workwear suitable for regular washing at 60°C?

Many hospitality pieces are designed to handle frequent 60°C washing, which makes them a solid choice for daily rotation in kitchen and service.

What’s the practical difference between cotton and polycotton for aprons and chefwear?

Cotton feels more natural on the skin, while polycotton typically wrinkles less, dries faster, and is easier to maintain with frequent laundering.

Which chef cap is more breathable: mesh-insert or classic?

In hot kitchens, a mesh-insert cap is the more breathable option; classic caps work well when you want simple sizing and a uniform look.

Are tunics/smocks (kasacks) suitable for front-of-house, or mainly for kitchen roles?

They work great for kitchen and fast-paced service roles, while a shirt or vest is often the better match for a classic front-of-house style.

Where should a logo be embroidered on a chef jacket or tunic for the best visibility?

Left chest is the most common placement because it’s guest-facing and comfortable; a sleeve logo is a good option if you prefer a subtler signature.

Can kitchen towels be personalized, and how should they be used in daily service?

Some towels are made specifically for clean personalization; if there’s a “branding” side, keep it outward for visibility and use the other side for hands-on tasks.

Are elastic-waist work trousers better for long shifts than classic fastening?

An elastic waist is often more comfortable for walking and bending all day, while classic fastening typically looks more formal for banquets and events.
