We’ve Clocked In — Rest After Service Has Arrived

Ever clean a grease trap with your whole body just to clear a bar tab?Ever watched a deep fryer kiss flesh like it owed it money?We have.And we’re still here.

Welcome to Rest After Service — the chef-born, back-of-house-built, front-of-house-hated brand you didn’t know you were waiting for.

We’re not influencers. We’re not polished. We’re the ones who’ve been screamed at for overcooked scallops and still clocked in the next day. This brand? It was 25 years in the making — from scrubbing pots at 14 to running banquets at a prestigious hotel. Through burns, broken walk-ins, double shifts, and managers who “don’t believe in breaks,” this industry forged us.

And we got tired of not seeing ourselves in the gear out there.

No one’s repping the real ones — the underpaid, the overworked, the NSFW as fuck crew who carry the weight of service and still go out for tallboys at 2AM.

So we built it.

Rest After Service is for:

• The prep demons who dice with headphones in and no soul left.

• The line cooks running on nicotine and rage.

• The dishwasher who doesn’t flinch when the sprayer blasts back.

• The server crying in the walk-in for five minutes before finishing their section.

• The banquet manager with 150 guests, 3 no-shows, and a tray full of PTSD.

Our first drop hits June 1st — three tees and one hoodie, limited as hell.This isn’t some “limited edition” ploy. We mean it. When it’s gone, it’s gone.We’re not here to make cute chef merch. We’re building a movement.

This is the uniform after the uniform.

The clothes you wear when the line goes quiet, the grease sets in, and the world stops spinning for five minutes.This is the voice of the kitchen renegades — the ones who bleed heat, break rules, and serve chaos with every plate.

We’re just getting started. Mental health matters in this industry, and we’ve got big plans. But for now?

Buy a shirt. Join the brigade. Fly the flag.Because no one knows the grind like you do — and now, someone’s finally saying it out loud.
