Aprons

Hospitality Connect stocks 468 aprons for chefs, kitchen hands, baristas and front of house teams. The range covers bib aprons, bistro aprons and half aprons in a spread of colours including black and blue, with brands including Chef Works, Aussie Chef and Whites Chefs.

Style follows the role. A bib apron covers the chest and lap and is the standard choice on the line, where splashes and heat come from the front. A bistro apron is long and ties at the waist, which suits floor staff and baristas who need a pocket and freedom to move. A half apron is shorter and lighter for quick service and prep work. After style, decide on colour and fabric weight to match your uniform standard and how often the aprons go through a commercial wash.

Why buy aprons from Hospitality Connect

• Australian-owned with bulk laundry pricing: Volume orders for venue groups land at trade-account pricing.
• Real warehouse stock: Standard black, navy, white and red bib aprons ship same-week.
• Mixed Chef Works and Whites Chefs: Order from both ranges on a single invoice with one delivery.
• Branding and embroidery on request: Logo work coordinated through our trade desk.
• Replacement units, not full sets: Order replacements one or two at a time — we don't enforce minimum order quantities on standard SKUs.
• No-pressure quoting: We'll quote alternatives at different price points so you can choose what fits your budget and timeline.
• Local delivery and pickup: Same-day pickup from our Melbourne warehouse; freight to all states with tracked dispatch.

Apron care and longevity

• Wash separately for first cycle: Coloured aprons can bleed onto white chef jackets; first wash on its own.
• Don't bleach polycotton: Sodium hypochlorite weakens the polyester fibre and yellows white aprons.
• Tumble dry on low: High heat shrinks polycotton and warps reinforced pockets.
• Spot-treat blood and oil before laundry cycles: Cold-water rinse for blood, degreaser for oil — the laundry cycle won't shift either if it's set.
• Inspect ties and stitch lines monthly: Replace before they fail mid-service.
