Merch Mob makes kitchen shirts, front-of-house uniforms, and staff hats for restaurants and bars in Sacramento, CA, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Sacramento. Sacramento skews young, with 27% of residents between 18 and 34 compared with 23% for the whole country and a median age of 36.0 (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so a retail tee with a playful back print has a large local audience.

What Sacramento's weather means for restaurants and bars
Roughly 90 days a year reach 90°F here, so order the summer batch of staff tees well before the July peak, in a lighter weight than the ones the crew wears in winter. Patio evenings turn cool from December to February, with December averaging a high of just 56°F, so stock staff hoodies for the patio and put the same pullover on the retail shelf for the holidays. A December average low of about 41°F makes a long-sleeve staff tee useful for early prep and late close, even in a city where the afternoon calls for short sleeves. When the street hits 100°F, as it does on about 23 days a year, the kitchen line is hotter still, so pick the lightest durable blend for cooks and a performance polo for patio servers.

Ordering from Sacramento
When do patio staff in Sacramento need a warmer layer?
Not until December: highs average under 65°F only from then through February, so a light hoodie covers that stretch, and with summer heat lasting far longer, most of the staff budget belongs to breathable tees.
