What Your Hospitality Clients Actually Need From a Uniform Program

Hospitality is one of the more overlooked industries in a distributor's book of business, even though it touches almost every property that welcomes guests. Hotels, restaurants, resorts, spas, and event venues all keep staff in uniform, and the roles inside each property need different garments to do the job well.

Which Clients Actually Need Hospitality Wear

A single hospitality account can cover several types of uniform needs at once, depending on which staff you're outfitting. Some of the most common client types include:

• Hotels and resorts, where front desk staff, housekeeping, bell staff, and valet teams each need a distinct look that still reads as one brand
• Restaurants and food service operations, where servers, hosts, bartenders, and kitchen staff need apparel built for the specific demands of their role
• Catering companies and event venues, where banquet and event staff need uniforms that hold up through long shifts of setup, service, and breakdown
• Spas and country clubs, where guest-facing staff need a polished look that still allows for a full shift of movement
• Multi-property groups and hospitality management companies, where consistent uniform standards need to travel across several locations

Most of these clients are already buying uniforms somewhere. The opportunity is showing them a program that covers every role under one order, not several disconnected vendors.

Matching the Garment to the Role

Hospitality apparel breaks down into a few core categories, and knowing which one fits which job makes it easier to build out a client's full program. Browse the complete lineup in All Hospitality Wear, or go category by category below.

Jackets and Vests

Front desk staff, housemen, and banquet captains often need a layer that reads as polished without restricting movement. The Jackets and Vests collection covers service vests and housemen jackets built for that kind of front-of-house role.

Woven Shirts

Houseman shirts, tunics, and service shirts make up the bulk of daily hospitality wear, since they work for nearly every guest-facing position from the front desk to the banquet floor. The Woven Shirts collection covers all three.

Bottoms

A uniform program isn't complete without bottoms that match the rest of the look and hold up to a full shift on their feet. See the options in the Bottoms collection.

Aprons

Kitchen staff, servers, and bussers all rely on aprons built for the specific demands of food service, from bib styles to waist aprons. The Aprons collection covers the range.

Bringing It Together for a Client

Most hospitality clients are already spending money on uniforms. The question is whether that spending runs through one organized program or gets patched together account by account. Browse the full assortment in All Hospitality Wear to see what fits your client's next order.
