Add quantities & sizes
Allocate the order across the available sizes for that exact product and confirm the total quantity.

Review & produce
Review the final specification and artwork before the order moves into production.
Planning
Plan the garment around the role
Hospitality apparel works best when the team separates staff needs from customer merchandise instead of forcing one product to do both jobs.
Planning & order notes +
Staff role
Decide whether the wearer needs a casual T-shirt, a structured polo or a warmer layer.
Brand artwork
Confirm the approved mark, print position and physical dimensions before production.
Size collection
Use the exact size chart for the selected product rather than reusing a split from another garment.
Merchandise vs staff wear
Treat customer merchandise as a separate product decision if fit, weight or styling needs to feel more premium.
FAQ
Common questions before you start
Should a restaurant or café choose polos or T-shirts? +
Choose around the role and brand. T-shirts suit casual teams and merchandise; polos create a more structured silhouette for customer-facing staff.
Can we use one garment for both staff and customer merchandise? +
You can, but it is often better to separate the two if customers expect a more relaxed or premium fit than the staff uniform.
Can we split sizes across the order? +
Yes. Use the selected product’s size chart and allocate the total quantity across its available sizes.
Can we order a sample first? +
Yes. A catalogue sample is useful for checking fit, fabric feel and whether the garment suits the venue before placing the custom run.
Which print techniques are available? +
Garmops currently offers Screen Print, DTF and Reflective Print. Technique suitability is reviewed against the garment and artwork.
