Custom Uniforms for Restaurants & Hospitality
Server polos, kitchen tees, branded aprons, and manager shirts, professional restaurant uniforms that reinforce your brand with every guest interaction.
Uniforms That Work as Hard as Your Staff
In the restaurant industry, your staff's appearance is part of the dining experience. Guests notice, consciously or not, whether the team looks professional, consistent, and well-branded. GML Prints creates custom restaurant uniforms that communicate exactly the image you want: from fast-casual concepts needing fun, screen-printed tees to fine dining establishments requiring tailored embroidered polos. We work with restaurants, bars, cafes, food trucks, catering companies, and hotels throughout the San Gabriel Valley.
We understand restaurant timelines. Grand openings come up fast. Staff turns over. Managers need new shirts. Our program approach keeps your artwork on file so reorders are easy and always consistent. Whether you need 10 shirts for a new cafe or 100 for a multi-location restaurant group, GML Prints delivers quality uniforms that survive commercial laundering, spills, and the demands of service industry life.

How a New Covina Restaurant Launched with a Complete Uniform Package
A new farm-to-table restaurant opening on Citrus Avenue needed a complete uniform package for opening day. With 25 staff members across two roles, they needed something that looked sharp without breaking the bank. We delivered:
- ✓ 18 embroidered dark green polo shirts for FOH servers and hosts
- ✓ 7 screen-printed kitchen tees for BOH crew
- ✓ 4 embroidered bistro aprons for bartenders
- ✓ 3 embroidered manager button-downs in a coordinating color
The entire package was ready in 10 days, two days before their soft opening. The restaurant has been a reorder customer ever since.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best uniform style for a casual dining restaurant?
For casual dining, screen-printed t-shirts or polo shirts work great for the front of house and are affordable for large teams. Kitchen crews typically get basic tees in a neutral color. We can create a tiered look, crew tees for BOH, embroidered polos for FOH and managers, all with your restaurant's logo.
How long does it take to get restaurant uniforms made?
Standard turnaround is 7-10 business days from proof approval. For grand openings or new restaurant launches, we recommend giving us at least 3 weeks. Rush service (3-5 days) is available for established restaurants with existing artwork on file.
Can I order different styles for different staff roles in one order?
Absolutely, and most restaurants do exactly this. Front-of-house gets embroidered polos, kitchen staff gets screen-printed tees, and managers get embroidered button-downs. We handle mixed orders and organize everything by size and style for easy distribution.
What is the minimum order for restaurant staff uniforms?
Screen printing minimum is 12 pieces; embroidery minimum is 6 pieces. Most restaurant uniform programs easily meet these minimums. For single-piece replacements (new hire onboarding), we accommodate those too once your program is established.
Can you put our restaurant logo on aprons?
Yes, apron embroidery and screen printing are both available. Embroidery on aprons looks very professional and is extremely durable through commercial laundering. Screen-printed aprons are more affordable. We'll recommend the best method based on your apron material and washing requirements.
