Layers for cooler shifts

Consider a hoodie for opening, closing or off-duty team wear where it suits your dress code. Keep layer quantities separate from the main shirt order.

Build the order by role and shift

List the garment needs for counter staff, servers, managers and other roles separately. Record the approved colours and logo placements for each group. If employees need more than one shirt for their weekly rotation, count garments rather than simply counting people.

Choose for your actual care routine

Tell us how garments will be washed and used. Review the selected garment’s care label and decoration requirements before approval. Standard promotional apparel is not automatically suitable for commercial laundering or specialist protective uses. If you need aprons or other role-specific items, include them in the brief for review.
