Kizen Lab makes restaurant and café uniforms in Bandung, Indonesia, on a full-service basis from 500 pieces per style. One team handles your programme from fabric sourcing to the finished carton: woven server shirts, chef jackets, aprons and front-of-house pieces, cut and sewn to your venue’s own design. Sampling takes 1 to 2 weeks and bulk delivery 6 to 12 weeks, on the same production site as our parent company World KNK, a woven specialist producing since 2000 with 200,000 pieces of monthly capacity. Whether you run one espresso bar or a growing string of venues, this is the programme sized for you.
One programme, every outlet the same
The hardest part of a growing venue group is not the first uniform. It is the fifth location opening eighteen months later and the shirts not matching. Our answer is simple: your patterns stay on file with the factory. When a new site opens or the season turns over, a re-order skips development entirely and the garments come out identical to the first run, same cloth, same fit, same colour.
Colour does the organisational work too. Servers, kitchen and barista teams can be colour-coded by role or by outlet through dyed-to-match cloth and colour-blocking, so front of house and back of house read differently at a glance while still belonging to one brand. Logo embroidery is applied in production, positioned and scaled properly instead of ironed on afterwards.
What we make for restaurants and cafés
Server shirts & blouses
Woven shirts with structured collars that hold their shape through long shifts and constant washing.
Chef jackets & kitchen wear
Heavy woven cotton jackets and kitchen trousers built for heat, steam and industrial laundering.
Aprons
Bistro, bib and waister styles sewn to match the programme, with the pockets your team actually uses.
Vests & waistcoats
Formal service layers for restaurants where the table setting is part of the theatre.
Host & counter pieces
Shirts, dresses and counter staff garments styled to the venue’s character, from fine dining to smash burger.
Barista & café wear
Shirts and aprons in colours chosen to hide the daily marks of milk, coffee and steam.
How a rollout runs
Start with the garment list and rough numbers per role. We quote the programme, put fabric options on the table, and samples are in your hands in 1 to 2 weeks. Run a sizing session with the team while samples are with you, then approve the fit. Bulk production takes 6 to 12 weeks depending on fabric, packed by role and size so each outlet receives what it can hand straight to staff. Order a little buffer for new hires: replacements pull from the same patterns, so they always match.
Cut and sewn, not printed on blanks
Most uniform suppliers decorate whatever blank is in their catalogue. That is fine until you want a shirt in your exact shade, a collar shape that suits the room, or an apron with the pocket layout your bar actually needs. We build the garment first: cloth selected for commercial laundering, patterns cut digitally on Lectra systems, branding applied during production. The uniform looks designed because it was.
Restaurant and café uniform FAQs
What is the minimum order for restaurant uniforms?
500 pieces per style on a full-service (FOB) basis, mixed across your size run. Single venues and small chains use it comfortably.
What does full service include?
Fabric sourcing and testing, digital pattern-making, sampling, production, quality checks and delivery packing. Every programme runs full-service FOB: we source and inspect the fabric, build the patterns, sample, produce and QC every piece.
How long does a uniform programme take?
Sampling takes 1 to 2 weeks and bulk production 6 to 12 weeks depending on fabric.
We are opening a second location. Will the new uniforms match?
Yes. Patterns are stored with your programme, so re-orders for new openings come out identical to the first run without paying for development again.
Can you add our logo and brand colours?
Yes. Cloth is dyed and matched to your palette, and embroidery, colour-blocking and printed details are applied in production.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We export from Bandung, Indonesia, and the group already ships uniform programmes overseas, including for a Hawaii-based procurement house.
We need thousands of pieces per style. Is this the right place?
For programmes at 1,000+ pieces per style, our parent company World KNK produces them at worldknk.com in the same factory group.
