Side by Side

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 your staff 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
  • Your staff reach for the restaurant hoodie, not the other brand

Pitmaster Reviews

Hear from BBQ restaurant pitmasters and owners running this today.

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

MR
Mike R.
Pitmaster · 20 crew
Q: DO EMBROIDERED POLOS HOLD UP TO PIT SHIFTS, SAUCE AND WEEKLY WASHES?

"Three-location BBQ restaurant, polos worn every shift, sauce splatter daily, pit temperatures on weekends. Bulk embroidered polos from the uniform catalog pilled by month three. Sport-Tek embroidered polos through the Pro Shop held the pit-brand logo through every shift and weekly wash. Regulars started asking how to buy the pit-name hoodie. Customer merch shop opened the next quarter."

JT
Jenna T.
Multi-Unit Owner · 55 crew
Q: WHAT IF A NEW PIT CREW HIRE STARTS MONDAY AND NEEDS A POLO AND HAT?

"Used to wait six weeks for an embroidered polo run from the uniform vendor. New hire would start in his own shirt for the first month. Now every new hire picks his size, color and role at checkout. Started Monday, embroidered polo with the pit brand logo and his role landed at his door by Wednesday. Looked like a real BBQ brand from day one."

RK
Ryan K.
BBQ Brand Director · 120 crew
Q: I RUN THE PIT AND OWN THE RESTAURANT. WHO BUILDS THE STORE?

"Two-location pitmaster-owner, smoking briskets at four every morning, no marketing time at all. The crew uniform and customer fan-merch shop sat at the bottom of the list for two years. Done-For-You plan ran the whole BBQ restaurant store. Pitmaster polos, pit crew tees, FOH hoodies, catering crew, fan-merch drops, rib-fest event tees. I send the pit logo once a month. Regulars bought the sauce-brand tee for their own closets."

Pitmaster & Owner Questions

The questions we get asked most

Can we print our BBQ restaurant logo, pit name and sauce-brand wordmark on custom BBQ restaurant apparel?+

Yes. Every BBQ restaurant shirt, BBQ restaurant t-shirt, embroidered polo, hoodie and embroidered hat supports your restaurant logo, pit name, sauce-brand wordmark, location callouts, role wordmarks (Pitmaster, Pit Crew, Front of House, Catering) and "established" year. Custom BBQ restaurant apparel, BBQ restaurant uniforms and BBQ restaurant merchandise all under one branded shop. Unlimited design elements on one side, no per-color fee. Strong BBQ restaurant shirt ideas land cleanly on the back of every crew tee.

Do you make aprons, chef coats, heat-resistant gloves, smoker tools or grilling kits?+

No. Aprons, chef coats, heat-resistant gloves, smoker tools and grilling kits are pit-side specialty goods restaurant supply vendors carry. What we do best: the front-of-house and crew-apparel side. BBQ restaurant shirts, BBQ restaurant t-shirts, embroidered Sport-Tek polos for the host stand, Gildan premium pique polos for managers, Bella+Canvas crew tees for pit and catering staff, Champion hoodies for early-morning prep and embroidered Yupoong, Otto Cap and Richardson hats. The branded BBQ restaurant uniform regulars see every visit.

Can we run a multi-location BBQ restaurant shop with pit crew tiers, catering staff and customer fan merch?+

Yes. Your shop is one branded BBQ restaurant URL, organized into sections: Pitmasters, Pit Crew, Line, Front of House, Catering, Specific Locations, Sauce Club and Fan Merch. Add location callouts, role wordmarks, sauce-brand art and event tees for rib festivals and BBQ competitions. Crew and customers self-order their size and color. One BBQ restaurant brand, one dashboard, no sign-up sheets at the GM meeting.

Can the pit crew, catering staff and regulars order BBQ restaurant uniform shirts and BBQ restaurant merchandise directly?+

That is the whole point. Drop your restaurant shop link in the crew group chat, the manager email, the catering portal or pin it on the restaurant Instagram. Pit crew, line cooks, FOH staff, catering crew and regulars check out themselves with size, color and role. BBQ restaurant uniform polos, custom BBQ restaurant shirts, hoodies and embroidered hats ship to each door free in about a week. You never collect cash at the GM meeting or count shirts before a catering event again.

Will embroidered polos and crew tees hold up to a season of pit shifts, sauce splatter and weekly washes?+

Yes. Premium athletic and corporate blanks. Sport-Tek embroidered polos, Gildan premium cotton pique polos, Bella+Canvas crew tees, Champion hoodies, Sport-Tek moisture-wicking tees for hot pit shifts. Real restaurant-wear that holds shape through every dinner rush, sauce splatter, smoke-cabinet temperatures and weekly washes. Pull a few samples from your dashboard at base price first and feel the difference.

We already use Custom Ink or a restaurant uniform catalog for BBQ restaurant uniforms. Why switch?+

Three reasons most BBQ restaurants 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 one-off uniform-bulk ordering. Ours is a permanent BBQ restaurant store at your URL year-round, ready for the next pit-crew hire, sauce launch, catering event, BBQ festival and rib-fest weekend.

Do I pay anything when a crew member orders? What about BBQ restaurant merchandise sold to customers?+

Zero cost when an order comes in. They pay the retail price you set. Your $8 to $16 profit lands directly in the restaurant dashboard. The rest covers our base price for printing, packing, and free USA shipping. For BBQ restaurant merchandise sold to customers (the sauce-brand tee, the pit logo hoodie, the regulars-only crewneck), set retail above base price and earn the margin per shirt. Drop a rib-fest tee, a sauce-club hoodie, a city-launch tee for a new pit opening.
