Get The Most For Your Dollar

Monday, December 31, 2012

As the New Year approaches, restaurants begin to examine their 2013 uniform budget. Owners and/or managers need to outfit their kitchen staff and stay within the year's budget. With pressure mounting to save as much money as possible, we have put together a few cost-saving tips to help dress your kitchen in quality, stylish culinary apparel for the best price. Our Four-Star line offers up a special value in the form of both durability and comfort that ensure your restaurant uniform investment will last for years to come.

Our Four-Star Chef Jackets are the perfect mix of comfort and durability at an affordable price. Each chef jacket is made with a cotton/poly blend, which provides the right amount of protection with a lighter feel. The blended fabric makes these chef coats easy to maintain and will hold up to the demands of working in a kitchen.

With 10 different styles available, the Four-Star Chef Jackets offer design options, which doesn't nail you down to one type of chef jacket and opens the door to choose a chef coat better fit for the theme of your restaurant. You can dress your Executive Chef in our Four-Star Executive Jacket, which is based off our popular Premier Executive Jacket and the rest of your kitchen staff in a Four-Star Asymmetrical Jacket or Four-Star Cloth-Knot Button Jacket. Prices start at $30.95.

Along with our Four-Star Chef Jackets, we carry a line of Four-Star Chef Pants in the Traditional Pant, Ultimate Pant and Women's Low-Rise Pant. These chef pants are similar to their 100-percent cotton counterparts in regards to features and fit, but showcase a cotton/poly blend which provides a more durable feel that stands up to the rigors of long hours at the restaurant. Prices start at $25.95.

Our Three-Star Chef Aprons come in both bib and waist versions as well as different length and style options. Prices start at $8.95.

With a new budget available, we provide chef uniform options that promise to stand up to the test of time at a reasonable price. The Four-Star Chef Jackets and Chef Pants as well as the Three-Star Chef Aprons provide durability mixed with comfort that is sure to please your kitchen staff as well as perform time-and-time again.
