Uniforms for restaurants
A full-service restaurant needs three or four pieces, not thirty: an apron for the floor, a tee for the line, a polo for the host stand, maybe a hat. Battle Born Clothing prices each piece by quantity and builds the order as one program.
Who orders
Owners and general managers of independent restaurants, and operations managers of small regional groups with 2 to 10 locations. The order usually comes with a new opening, a rebrand, or a worn-out apron drawer.
What they order
- Port Authority A500 full-length aprons for servers and bussers
- A703 waist aprons for bartenders
- Port & Company PC61 tees in black for the kitchen
- Port Authority K500 polos for hosts and managers
- Richardson 112 or YP 6606 hats for the line

Questions
Should the kitchen get embroidery or print?
Print if the tees are replaced often and the logo is simple; embroidery if they are expected to last a year. At 36 pieces embroidery is $12.04 each on a PC61 and a one-color print would be quoted per job (the $10.63 rate is at 48).
Can servers get their names on aprons?
Yes. Names are quoted per job. Send a list with spellings checked.
