Custom restaurant shirts with your logo for front of house, the kitchen and the merch shelf: 24 printed staff tees are $10 each ($240 shipped free); 24 embroidered server polos $21 each with the $55 digitizing waived. No quantity minimum, a free proof within 24 hours, and art kept on file so a new-hire reorder takes minutes.

What restaurants order

Front of house

Embroidered Harriton M200 polos or fitted retail-blank tees that look intentional, not promotional. Consistent logo placement across mixed sizes; names under the logo are quoted per order.

Kitchen & BOH

Durable everyday Gildan 5000 tees and aprons that survive industrial laundering. Dark colors, screen printed, built for the dish pit.

Merch your customers buy

Comfort Colors and Bella+Canvas drops your regulars will actually wear, plus Richardson 112 trucker caps — many restaurant clients turn staff shirts into a revenue line.

Printed or embroidered for restaurant staff?

Embroider the front-of-house polos: a stitched logo survives hot commercial laundry and reads as a real business at the host stand. Screen print the kitchen and bar tees — they get bleached, burned and replaced, and at 24 pieces a print is $10 a shirt against $14 embroidered on the same tee. Full-color designs print by DTF at the same price as one color, which is what makes merch tees affordable in small runs. More in custom embroidery and work shirts for a small business.

From a customer

"I only needed 15 shirts and most places quoted me a 48-piece minimum. Harborside printed exactly what I needed, no upcharge, and they look sharp." — Sara L., restaurant owner, Cape May NJ

Why restaurants pick Harborside

Restaurant shirt FAQ

How much do custom restaurant shirts cost?

Printed staff tees on a Gildan 5000 are $12 each at 12, $10 at 24 and $9 at 48, any number of colors, shipped free at those totals. Embroidered Harriton M200 polos are $21 each at 24 with the $55 digitizing waived. There are no setup or screen fees.

Is there a minimum order for restaurant staff shirts?

No quantity minimum — 15 servers means 15 shirts, and one shirt for a new hire is fine. The only floor is a $20 order total. The price per shirt steps down at 6, 12, 24, 48, 100 and 250 pieces.

Should restaurant shirts be printed or embroidered?

Embroider front-of-house polos and anything laundered commercially; print kitchen, bar and event tees, and any full-color design. At 24 pieces a printed Gildan 5000 tee is $10 and an embroidered one is $14; both are shown on your free proof before anything is made.

Can you make restaurant merch to sell to customers?

Yes. Comfort Colors 1717 tees with a full-color front print are $17 each at 24, Richardson 112 trucker caps $21 embroidered; small test runs are fine before you commit to inventory. If customers should order and pay on their own, a free group store collects the orders and ships one box to you.

Do you print aprons and hats with a restaurant logo?

Yes — embroidered trucker caps and dad caps are in the shop at live prices; aprons, beanies and other items that fit an embroidery hoop are quoted by email at orders@harborsideprint.com.

How fast can I get staff shirts for an opening?

Your free proof arrives within 24 hours on business days. Production is 4 business days after you approve it (2 business days with the $50 rush), then 2–5 business days of UPS or USPS ground shipping — plan on about 7–10 business days door to door, or 5–8 with rush.
