Who wears it

Restaurants & Hospitality

Restaurant apparel has to survive a double shift, look right on camera, and be replaceable at short notice when someone starts on Friday. Graph-Tex builds restaurant programs around the shift, not around the catalog.

Who orders
Owners, general managers, multi-unit operations managers

The usual problem

Turnover. A restaurant does not order once a year; it orders every time someone starts, and each of those is a small, urgent, annoying order.

What we do about it

A new-hire pack held on file. Same garment, same decoration, same sizes on the shelf — one phone call, or a store your GM orders from directly.

What the program covers

The pieces you actually reorder.

  1. Front of house

    Tees, polos, and aprons in the room's colours, decorated so the logo still reads across a dining room and still looks right after fifty washes.

  2. Kitchen

    Durable, hot-line-appropriate pieces that hold up to the wash cycle a kitchen actually runs, in colours that hide a shift.

  3. Management

    An embroidered polo or button-down that separates the manager on the floor from the staff, without looking like a different company.

  4. Headwear and accessories

    Caps, beanies, and visors — the piece most often forgotten until the week it is needed.

  5. New-hire packs

    A standing pack, held on your file, that ships when you hire rather than being rebuilt from scratch each time.
