How your uniforms are made

Real embroidery and print, decorated and finished in our own shop.

Embroidery or print, your call

We embroider your logo straight into the fabric for a raised, durable finish, or run DTG and DTF print when you need full-color detail across the chest or back.

We digitize your artwork

Our team turns your logo into clean stitch files or print-ready art and shows you a proof to sign off, so the result matches your brand.

Why catering uniforms from Arklavo beat the usual options

Real stitched embroidery or print, no minimum, and days not weeks. It is a combination no promo shop, online marketplace, or local embroiderer offers all at once.

Option	Real stitched embroidery	No minimum	Days, not weeks
Promo shops	Sometimes	Often minimums	Varies
Online marketplaces	Varies by seller	Print only	Varies
Local embroiderer	Yes	Often a minimum	Often weeks
ArklavoBest value	Yes	Yes	Yes

Comparison reflects typical offerings in each category, not any single named company. Many no-minimum options apply only to printing, or set a separate minimum for embroidery. Arklavo decorates a single piece with no minimum, by embroidery or print.

What customers say about their custom uniforms

The proof came back quickly and the embroidery looked sharp on every polo. Reordering for new staff was effortless.

Marcus T.

Operations, event catering company

No minimum meant we ordered one sample before committing to the full crew run. The fit and the logo were exactly right.

Sophia R.

Owner, corporate catering service

Clean logo, great color match, and the shirts still look professional after a season of events.

Market outlook

The custom apparel market is set to more than double by 2030

The market data lines up with what we see every week. Branded apparel is the biggest category in promotional products, and catering and hospitality teams are a growing share of that demand as more businesses recognize that staff appearance is part of the guest experience. Teams want a clean, consistent look, and they want it without a minimum order slowing them down. That is the shift we built Arklavo around.

Everything to know about custom catering uniforms

Custom catering uniforms keep your team looking consistent and professional at every event and every shift. We stock a range of styles suited to front-of-house and service staff: polos, T-shirts, long sleeve shirts, and button-down shirts, in unisex fits from XS to 5XL. Your logo goes on in real stitched embroidery, DTG print, or DTF, whichever suits the artwork and the fabric best.

Choosing your catering uniform style

A fitted polo reads clean and professional behind the counter or in front of guests. A button-down or oxford works for front-of-house staff who need a sharper look. A classic tee or long sleeve suits kitchen and prep staff and carries a logo well. We carry styles in unisex fits from XS to 5XL, in black, white, navy, gray, and more shades on request.

Embroidery, DTG, or DTF

We embroider your logo into the left chest or sleeve for a raised, durable finish that holds through commercial wash cycles, or run DTG and DTF print when you want full color across a larger area. Embroidery suits most catering and event teams for long-term staff wear. We digitize your artwork in house at no charge before a proof.

Ordering, no minimums, and reorders

There is no minimum, so you can order a single sample to check the color, fit, and decoration before a full run, and the price per piece falls as the quantity rises. We send a free digital proof before anything is made. Once your logo is on file, reorders for new staff or seasonal events are simple.

Branded catering uniforms suit event companies, corporate caterers, venue and banquet teams, cafes, and any hospitality crew that wants staff to look the part in front of guests. Embroidery looks sharp on a left chest or collar; full-color print covers larger designs. Send your logo and quantity for a quote.

Uniform sizing and fit

Catering uniforms are real apparel sizes, not one size. We carry unisex XS to 5XL, with the exact range set by the brand and style you pick. Here is how to size a run for a service team.

Unisex XS to 5XL

Most styles run unisex XS to 5XL, though the top of the range varies by brand. A standard fit lands true to size. If your crew prefers a relaxed fit over other layers, size up one. We can sort a full size run on your order. Ask on your quote.

Fit by garment

A fitted polo keeps a clean silhouette on the floor. A button-down or oxford reads sharper for front-of-house staff. A long sleeve suits cooler kitchen shifts. Tell us the look you want and we will match the style and size run to your team.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of catering uniforms can I order from Arklavo?

We decorate a range of apparel suited to catering and event teams: polo shirts, button-down shirts, oxfords, t-shirts, and long sleeve shirts. All styles are available in unisex fits from XS to 5XL with your logo embroidered or printed. If you are unsure which style fits your team's role, request a quote and describe what your staff will be doing, and we will point you in the right direction.

Is there a minimum order for custom catering uniforms?

There is no minimum order. You can order a single piece to check the fit, color, and decoration before committing to a full crew run. Once you approve the sample, reorders for new staff or seasonal events are straightforward. The price per piece falls automatically as your quantity rises, so larger runs cost less without any obligation to hit a threshold first.

How long does it take to get my order?

Most orders ship within 3 to 5 days of proof approval. US delivery then takes approximately 3 to 5 days with tracking. If you have a specific event date, include it in your quote request and we will confirm whether the timeline works before you place the order. Rush needs can sometimes be accommodated, so it is always worth asking.

Do you offer embroidery, and how does it hold up for catering staff?

We do real stitched embroidery, available by our own US team. Embroidery is the most durable decoration method for staff uniforms that go through regular and commercial wash cycles. The stitching is set directly into the fabric and will not crack, peel, or fade the way some print methods can over time. It is the method most catering and hospitality teams choose for long-term wear.

What decoration methods are available besides embroidery?

Alongside embroidery, we offer DTG (direct-to-garment) print and DTF (direct-to-film) print. DTG and DTF suit designs with fine detail, gradients, or more than three or four colors, where embroidery would lose definition. Both print methods produce sharp, color-rich results. We will recommend the best method for your artwork when you send it in, and we digitize or prepare your artwork at no extra charge.

What does a free digital proof include?

Before we decorate anything, we send you a digital proof showing your exact logo placement, size, thread colors or ink colors, and the garment style and color you selected. You review it and tell us whether it is right or needs a change. Nothing goes into production until you approve the proof. This step is free and is included on every order, regardless of quantity.

How does bulk pricing work for larger catering crews?

Bulk discounts apply automatically based on the total quantity you order. You receive 5% off at 10 pieces, 10% off at 24 pieces, 15% off at 50 pieces, 20% off at 100 pieces, and 25% off at 250 or more pieces. There are no setup fees and no minimum order. Request a quote with your logo, garment style, and quantity and we will send back an exact per-piece and total price.

Can I mix different garment styles in one order?

Yes, mixed orders are common for catering and event teams. You might want polos for front-of-house staff and long sleeve shirts or t-shirts for servers, all with the same logo. Include the styles, quantities, and sizes you need in your quote request and we will confirm pricing and production for the combined order. Mixing styles within one run can still qualify for volume discount tiers based on total piece count.

What sizes do you stock for catering uniforms?

Most styles we carry run unisex XS through 5XL, though the top of the range can vary by brand and garment. A standard fit lands true to size. If your crew prefers a relaxed fit or plans to layer over other clothing, we recommend sizing up one. Youth sizes are available on select styles. List the sizes you need in your quote request and we will confirm availability for the specific garment you choose.

How do reorders work once my logo is on file?

Once your logo has been decorated on a first order, we keep your artwork and proof on file. Reorders for new staff, replacements, or seasonal hires are simple because the digitizing and proofing work is already done. Just send your reorder quantity and sizes and we will turn it around quickly. Reorders qualify for the same bulk discount tiers as new orders based on the quantity you request.

Do you ship across the US and is there a cost?

We ship to all US addresses. Shipping is free on orders over $150. Orders under $150 have a standard US shipping charge added at checkout. All orders ship with tracking so you can follow your delivery. If you need an order for a specific event date, include the date in your quote and we will confirm whether the timeline is achievable before you commit.

What information do I need to send to get a quote?

To get an accurate quote, send your logo file (a vector or high-resolution PNG works best), the garment type and color you want, the decoration method you prefer or ask us to recommend one, and your quantity and size breakdown. You can use the customizer to design and preview online, or request a quote directly and our team will handle the artwork assessment and send back pricing and a proof timeline.
