The Polish restaurant and hospitality landscape

Poland has more than 65,000 restaurants, cafés, bars and food-service outlets, with combined annual revenue exceeding PLN 80 billion. The Warsaw restaurant scene is one of the most active in Central Europe, with the Michelin-starred Atelier Amaro (Plac Powstańców Warszawy), the Senses (Palace of Culture and Science area), the Rozbrat 20, the Nolita, the Plan B, the Wilanów Restaurant, the Butchery and Wine, the Same Same, the Hala Koszyki food hall, the Hala Gwardii, the Prasowy, the Hola Havana, the Mąka i Woda, the ZONI, the Winosfera, the N31, the Restauracja 13, the U Fukiera, the Stara Kamienica, the Port Royal, the Boska Wola, the Kieliszki Highway, the Brooklyn Pie, the Brooklyn Burger, the Pasibus, the Bobby Burger, the Meat and Eat, the Burgerownie, the Krowarzywa, the Bistro Paris, the Capitol, the Grill Bar, the Sopocki Zdrój, and the Wrocław-based Konspira, the Panczo, the Szynk, the PRL, the Młyńska, the Lotos, the Pod Papugami, the Sphinx (the Polish casual-dining chain), the Bobby Burger, the Pizza Hut, the Dominium Pizza, the Da Grasso, the Telepizza, the Papa John's, the Subway, the Starbucks, the Costa Coffee, the Green Caffè Nero, the A.Blikle (the historic Warsaw patisserie), the E.

The Polish restaurant and hospitality sector operates under specific commercial and regulatory frameworks. VAT is 23% on most goods and 8% on catering services (catering obrot), with 5% on certain food items. Restaurants operate under specific health and safety regulations (sanepid inspections, food-safety certifications, HACCP compliance). Alcohol service is regulated under the Alcohol Licensing Act (Ustawa o wychowaniu w trzeźwości i przeciwdziałaniu alkoholizmowi), with licensing by the local gmina. The merchandising for restaurants must respect these regulatory frameworks.

The merch for this sector combines loyalty programmes, take-home merchandise, B2B gift cards, staff apparel, branded-packaging programmes and seasonal merch. The audience is mixed — guests, regulars, tourists, B2B clients, food-service partners — and the brand is typically tied to the restaurant's signature cuisine, signature chef or signature dish.

Loyalty programmes and take-home merchandise

Polish restaurants run loyalty programmes (programy lojalnościowe) to retain regular guests. The standard formats include: stamp cards (the workhorse — a paper card stamped with each visit, with a reward at 10 stamps), point-based programmes (typically run through an app like Loyalty, Sodexo, Edenred, Lunchonomy, Fitatu, the Polski Gastronomia platform), subscription programmes (e.g. monthly coffee subscription, monthly wine subscription), and gift-card programmes (gift cards sold through the restaurant's POS system and used for future visits).

For loyalty programmes the merch typically includes: a branded loyalty card (typically plastic, similar to a credit-card format, with the restaurant's logo and the loyalty programme's branding), a welcome letter, a personalised loyalty number, a small branded object (a keychain, a magnet, a pin, a sticker pack), and sometimes a premium gift at loyalty milestones (e.g. at 10 visits, 25 visits, 50 visits, 100 visits).

For take-home merchandise (the merch guests purchase to take home after the meal) the categories include: branded T-shirts (with the restaurant's signature dish or slogan), branded hoodies, branded caps, branded mugs (the workhorse — dishwasher-safe ceramic with the restaurant's logo or signature artwork), branded water bottles, branded tote bags, branded aprons (for guests who cook at home), branded cookware (e.g. a branded pizza stone, a branded apron, a branded wooden spoon set), branded cookbooks (often authored by the restaurant's chef).

B2B gift cards and corporate hospitality

Polish restaurants run B2B gift-card programmes for corporate clients. The standard B2B gift card includes: a gift card (typically plastic or paper, with the restaurant's logo and the gift amount), a personalised letter from the restaurant's owner or general manager, an envelope or box for the card, and sometimes a small premium gift (a candle, a small branded object).

For corporate hospitality (e.g. a restaurant hosting a corporate dinner, a launch party, a private event) the merch includes: branded place cards, branded menus, branded coasters, branded napkins, branded gift bags for take-home items, branded signage, and sometimes a small premium gift for top attendees (a personalised object, a piece of branded stationery, a small premium object).

For catering (Polish catering obrot) the merch is typically smaller-scale. The kit typically includes: branded packaging for the catering order (typically a kraft box or a branded cardboard box with the restaurant's logo), branded napkins and cutlery, branded coasters, and sometimes a small premium gift (a candle, a piece of branded stationery).

Staff apparel and operational merch

Restaurant staff uniforms follow specific discipline. The kit varies by role: front-of-house (typically a tailored shirt, a tie or scarf, a tailored jacket or waistcoat, a name badge, a small lapel pin), servers (typically a server shirt, an apron, a name badge), bartenders (typically a bartender shirt, an apron, a name badge), kitchen (typically a chef's jacket, an apron, a skull cap, work trousers, slip-resistant footwear), dishwashers and prep cooks (typically a work shirt, work trousers, slip-resistant footwear).

The apparel must withstand daily use, frequent industrial laundering at 60–90°C and the rigours of food service. We work with each restaurant's owner or general manager to ensure fabric quality, fit and durability meet the brand's standard. Production runs are typically quarterly or biannually, with replacements ordered as needed.

For multi-location chains (e.g. Sphinx, Bobby Burger, Pasibus, Pizza Hut, Subway, the various Polish chains) the uniform program is coordinated centrally. Each location submits a uniform order based on staffing levels and turnover; we kit and ship per location with location-specific nametag file support.

Branded packaging and seasonal programmes

Branded packaging is a critical merch category for restaurants. The standard formats include: branded takeaway bags (kraft paper with custom print), branded takeaway boxes (FSC cardboard or bagasse with custom print), branded cups (paper cups with custom print for hot drinks, plastic or PLA cups with custom print for cold drinks), branded lids (paper or PLA with custom print), branded napkins (FSC paper with logo pattern), branded cutlery (wood or PLA with the restaurant's logo), branded straws (paper or metal with logo), branded cup sleeves (cardboard with custom print).

For seasonal programmes (typically the autumn harvest, the Christmas season, the Easter season, the summer season) the merch is themed. Christmas season: branded ornaments, branded mugs, branded packaging for holiday gift cards, branded packaging for holiday gift sets. Easter season: branded Easter packaging, branded chocolate eggs, branded gift baskets. Summer season: branded picnic accessories, branded beach towels, branded water bottles.
