Custom Merch for Restaurants and Bars in Atlanta, GA
Merch Mob makes kitchen shirts, front-of-house uniforms, and staff hats for restaurants and bars in Atlanta, GA, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Atlanta.

What Atlanta's weather means for restaurants and bars
July is the warmest month, and about 54 days a year reach 90°F or more, so summer patio staff need a breathable tee or polo, and the cooks need the lightest durable blend. Patio heaters and staff layers come out from November to February, when average highs fall under 65°F; that is also the season for a retail hoodie at the register. Spring and fall are the shoulder seasons for patio service, warmer than January but short of the summer peak in July, and a long-sleeve staff tee covers their cool mornings and evenings. Closing staff step out into freezing air on roughly 52 nights each year, so a beanie and a hoodie belong in the staff kit. July is the rainy peak, around 5 inches, so give patio and delivery staff a dark layer that hides splashes and dries fast.

Ordering from Atlanta
When do patio staff in Atlanta need a warmer layer?
Plan on November to February, the part of the year when highs in Atlanta average below 65°F, so a staff hoodie or quarter-zip should be on hand before November, and the same blank can go on the retail shelf.
