Old Way vs. Your New Pro Shop Way

Same three problems. Two very different answers.

Old Way
$2K to $5K
Bulk-Order Gamble
  • Inventory from past orders still in your office
  • XS, S, XL sit in the bin for months
  • Pieces go missing. You give the rest away
Your Pro Shop
$0 UPFRONT
No Inventory Ever
  • Member orders one, we print one
  • Zero cash tied up. Zero boxes to store
  • Profit hits your dashboard, not a bin
Old Way
3 WEEKS
To Reorder Anything
  • 24, 36 or 48-piece minimums per color
  • Charged per color, per placement, per design
  • Sold out of sizes or colors crew want
  • Can't say yes without $2K + 3 weeks
Your Pro Shop
~1 WEEK
Door to Door
  • No minimums. Order 1 or 100, same price
  • Unlimited colors, designs, placements
  • Crew pick size and color at checkout
  • USA printed and shipped free to their door
Old Way
2 WASHES
Until It's Cardboard
  • Print cracks, shirt stiffens, color fades
  • Crew stop wearing it
  • You and the coaches reach for other brands
Your Pro Shop
50+ WASHES
Still Soft
  • Premium blanks: Bella+Canvas, Champion, Sport-Tek
  • Soft on day 1, soft after 50 washes
  • Coaches reach for the truck hoodie, not the other brand

Pit Boss Reviews

Hear from BBQ food truck owners and pit bosses running this today.

Quality, sizing, time. The three things every owner wants to know about, answered by the truckes already running their apparel through us.

MR
Mike R.
Pit Boss · 8 crew
Q: DO PIT CREW TEES SURVIVE A SUMMER OF SMOKE, GREASE AND HEAT?

"Run a brisket and burnt-end truck out of Texas. Bought 50 cheap cotton tees from a local printer last season. Half were grease-stained by week three, prints cracked from the wash. Switched to this. Sport-Tek moisture-wicking long-sleeves and Bella+Canvas premium triblends with our truck logo. Crew wore them through every festival, every catering gig, every brisket pull. Still hold print, still hold shape."

JT
Jenna T.
Owner-Operator · Festival Circuit
Q: WHAT IF A FESTIVAL FAN OR CATERING CLIENT NEEDS A DIFFERENT SIZE?

"Used to carry 30 shirts in the truck for festival sales. Always ran out of XL by Saturday lunch, stuck with extra smalls Sunday night. Now every fan walks up, scans the QR code on the truck wrap, picks their size and color. Shirt ships to their door free. Zero inventory in the trailer. Made more in shirt profit last festival than I did the year before with the bulk order."

RK
Ryan K.
Smokehouse Owner · 4 trucks
Q: I'M PRE-COOKING, SERVING AND CATERING. WHO RUNS THE MERCH STORE?

"Pit boss, prep cook, owner, all rolled into one. Done-For-You plan ran the whole BBQ food truck apparel store. I sent the truck logo and one summer festival design. They built the pit crew tees, the fan hoodie drop, the embroidered hats. Truck cleared $2,800 in shirt profit between Memorial Day and Labor Day."

Pit Boss & Crew Questions

The questions we get asked most

Can I put my BBQ food truck logo, smoker art and rig name on custom apparel?+

Yes. Every tee, hoodie, sweatshirt, polo, embroidered hat and crew shirt supports your BBQ food truck logo, smoker art, rig name and pitmaster wordmark on the front, back, sleeve or chest. Add brisket-day callouts, festival dates, pellet vs offset humor, your truck wrap matched on the apparel. Unlimited design elements on one side, no per-color fee. BBQ food truck logos, BBQ food truck merch and BBQ food truck signs translate into apparel your crew and fans actually wear.

Do you make commercial-grade chef coats or heat-resistant aprons?+

No. Heavy-duty commercial chef coats and heat-rated pit aprons come from restaurant supply vendors. What we do best: the everyday BBQ food truck apparel your pit crew, line and fans wear. Cotton tees, premium triblends, Sport-Tek moisture-wicking long-sleeves for the smoker, hoodies for early-morning prep, embroidered hats with the smoke ring logo. The branded gear your crew actually grabs on a 5am brisket pull.

Can fans, festival walk-ups and catering clients order directly from one truck URL?+

That's the whole point. Drop your shop link on the truck wrap, in the bottom of every receipt, in the festival event guide, in the Instagram bio. Fans, catering clients and festival walk-ups check out themselves with their size and color. BBQ food truck merch ships to their door free in about a week. You never carry inventory in the truck or hand out shirts off the serving window.

Will pit crew tees, smoker-line hoodies and embroidered hats hold up to wood smoke, sweat and grease?+

Yes. Premium athletic blanks. Sport-Tek moisture-wicking long-sleeves and tees, Bella+Canvas premium triblends, Independent Trading Co. hoodies, Yupoong and Richardson embroidered hats. Real workwear-grade apparel for a working pit, not the stiff cotton from the cheap food truck shirt vendors. Pull samples from your dashboard at base price first and feel the difference.

Can I sell pit crew uniforms, festival merch and catering staff gear in the same shop?+

Yes. Your shop is one branded URL, organized into sections: Pit Crew, Line Cooks, Festival Merch, Catering Staff, Owner Gear, Fan Merch. Drop a fresh design for festival weekend, the Memorial Day brisket drop, a competition team run. Crew self-orders at base price, fans pre-order at retail. You collect profit. No leftover BBQ food truck shirts in the trailer.

We already use Custom Ink, Vistaprint or Etsy for our BBQ food truck shirts. Why switch?+

Three reasons most BBQ food truck operators switch within a month. Shipping: theirs charges $8 to $10 per order, hidden. Ours is free, every order. Fees: theirs charges per color, per placement, per design. Ours is one flat base price, unlimited colors. Permanence: theirs is order-by-order. Ours is a permanent BBQ food truck apparel store at your truck URL year-round, ready for festival season, catering season and the off-season merch run.

Do I pay anything when a fan orders? What about cheap BBQ food truck apparel for the crew?+

Zero cost when a fan, catering client or crew member orders. They pay the retail price you set. Your $8 to $16 profit lands directly in your truck dashboard. The rest covers our base price for printing, packing, and free USA shipping. For the pit crew, self-order at base price (your own profit kicks back since it's your own shop). Cheap BBQ food truck apparel for the crew, premium festival merch for the fans, one URL.
