Common questions
What Fabric Should a Restaurant Uniform Be?
A restaurant uniform has to withstand frequent washing and a sweaty, greasy work environment — choosing the right fabric per role keeps the uniform durable and staff comfortable.
Fabric for servers
A pique cotton-blend (CVC/TC) polo looks smart while holding color through frequent washing — suited to a customer-facing role. See what is pique fabric for more.
Fabric for kitchen staff
A 100% cotton crewneck is more breathable and wicks sweat better, suited to a hot, active kitchen environment — comfort matters more than a sharp silhouette here.
Why avoid overly thin fabric
Thin fabric fades faster and picks up odor more easily under frequent washing in a kitchen/restaurant environment — choose a high-cotton-content or cotton-blend fabric with enough weight. See roll fabric sourcing for more.
