Branded Staff Apparel and Signage for Saskatoon Restaurants and Hotels
August 13, 2026 · Sandstar Graphics, Saskatoon SK
Your front-of-house team is part of your brand before a guest reads a single word on the menu. For Saskatoon restaurants, hotels, and cafes, branded staff apparel and in-store graphics need to do double duty — look professional on day one, and still look professional after a hundred washes or a busy patio season.
What Do Restaurants and Hotels Typically Order?
- Embroidered polos and button-ups — for servers, hosts, and front desk staff
- Branded hats and toques — for kitchen and counter staff
- Printed aprons — durable, washable branding for kitchen and barista staff
- Window and door graphics — hours, logos, and promotions applied directly to glass
- Interior signage — menu boards, wayfinding, and branded wall graphics
Why Embroidery Holds Up Better Than Printing for Daily-Wear Staff Apparel
Staff apparel gets washed far more often than a typical branded shirt, and printed logos tend to crack or fade after repeated commercial laundering. Embroidery stitches the logo into the fabric, so it holds its shape and colour through the wash cycle a busy kitchen or front desk puts it through. For lower-cost items like aprons or one-season promotional shirts, screen printing is still a practical choice.
What About Window Graphics and Interior Signage?
Window and door graphics are produced on weather-resistant vinyl designed for glass application, so hours, logos, and seasonal promotions hold up to sun exposure and cleaning. For interior spaces, we also produce custom signage — menu boards, wayfinding, and branded wall graphics that match your interior design.
How Do We Handle Staff Turnover and Reorders?
Hospitality has some of the highest staff turnover of any industry, so we keep your logo, colours, and sizing specs on file. A reorder for a new hire or two does not require redesigning anything — just a quick order against your existing setup, which keeps new staff in uniform without a multi-week wait.
How Far Ahead Should We Order Before a Grand Opening or Rebrand?
Standard turnaround is 1.5 to 2 weeks after artwork approval. For a grand opening, rebrand, or seasonal menu launch that involves both apparel and signage, we recommend starting 4 to 6 weeks out so window graphics and staff apparel are ready at the same time — not staggered across separate deadlines.
How Do We Start an Order?
Send us your logo, staff count, and which pieces you need — apparel, window graphics, interior signage, or all three. We will put together an itemized quote and tell you plainly which decoration method will hold up best for your day-to-day.
