Restaurant Uniforms
Fast Food and QSR Staff Uniforms
Quick-service uniforms live hard — worn by a changing crew, washed hot after every shift, and judged on cost per head as much as on looks. The programme succeeds when reordering a dozen replacement polos is boring: same colour, same logo, no drama.
What a QSR crew kit includes
The standard kit is a polo or tee and a cap or visor — plus a name solution, either an embroidered name or a reusable strip for crews that change weekly. Everything is specified once as a kit standard, because the whole point of quick service is that nobody makes garment decisions at outlet level.
Built for hot washes and hard wear
QSR garments are washed hotter and more often than almost anything else in hospitality. Cloth is chosen for that cycle — piqué that keeps its collar, jersey that is pre-shrunk, polycotton where stain release matters — and the print method is matched to the same reality. The sample is approved after washing, not straight off the line.
Colour-coding without multiplying styles
One garment pattern in several colours covers the stations: black for the counter, red for the grill, grey for drive-through, for example. It is one pattern, one size chart and one logo file; only the lab dips multiply. That keeps the programme cheap to run and easy to reorder.
Reordering at the speed of churn
The reorder question comes early in QSR, so we answer it early. Minimums typically start at 100 pcs per style and are quoted exactly per project; where your monthly churn sits below the minimum, we will suggest a stocking quantity that carries you between runs. After that, a reorder is a size list against the sealed kit — no re-sampling, no new setup, no shade drift.
Setting up the first order
The roles and stations, the headcount per site, your brand colours and the logo as a vector file — plus your real churn rate, because it decides the stocking advice. Tell us who washes the kit and at what temperature; quick-service garments live in the hottest cycle in hospitality, and the cloth and print choices are made against that cycle from the start. Colour-coded stations and per-outlet packing are settled in the same conversation. We come back with a kit standard, a size curve and a quotation. After that, the programme should be the most boring line in your purchasing budget.

| Cloth | Piqué or jersey that tolerates hot washing; polycotton where stain release matters most |
| Branding | Chest logo as standard; large back print where crews must be identified across a crowded site |
| Size curve | Broad unisex run XS–5XL so a replacement fits whoever walks in next |

§ 03How It Runs
How this order runs
The stages your order passes through, in order.
01
Kit definition
Garments, colours per role and branding positions are fixed as one kit standard.
02
Wear and wash test
Samples go through your wash cycle; collars, print and colour are checked after drying.
03
Sealed for reorders
The kit is sealed and retained, so replacement runs match what crews already wear.
04
Standing reorder
Top-ups run against the file — no re-sampling, no re-approval cycle.
§ 04Worth Knowing
Where these orders go wrong
The mistakes we see buyers make on this programme — stated early, so they do not surface in production.
Buying on unit price alone
The cheapest polo costs more if collars roll by week six and you buy twice. Compare cost per month in service, not cost per piece.
Prints that crack by month two
Hot washing is brutal on cheap transfers. Approve the print after your actual wash cycle, and use embroidery where the mark must outlast the garment.
A size curve with gaps
Crews change weekly. A kit graded XS–5XL on a unisex block covers whoever is hired next; narrow curves leave someone in the wrong size on day one.
