Picking a gift for a lunch cook
A lunch cook works the hours most people are asleep for or already eating, and the job is mostly prep, timing and keeping a line moving under pressure. Lunch rushes are short and intense, so the cooks who get through them tend to have strong opinions about their knives, their aprons and their coffee. A gift that acknowledges that early start lands well. A tee for the drive in before sunrise, a hoodie for the walk-in cooler, or a mug for the first cup before the doors open all say you've noticed what the job takes. Add the place they cook, the school or cafeteria they work for, or a line like Lunch Crew, and the design becomes about their kitchen rather than generic kitchen humor. The Team Shop is a good option if you're buying for a whole crew, since one design can carry every name.
Lunch Cook gift questions
Can I add the name of the school or restaurant where they cook?
Many designs have a second line for a place or group name. Type it in and the preview will show how it fits before you order.
Is there a special day for lunch cooks?
Not one that's widely recognized, so a gift works best on a birthday, a work anniversary or the end of a busy school year.
What's a good gift for a new lunch cook?
A tee or mug with their name and the job title is a warm way to welcome them to the crew and mark the start of the job.
What sizes do the lunch cook shirts come in?
Adult tees come in S to 3XL. Hoodies, kids tees and onesies list their own sizes on each product page.
How long does a lunch cook gift take to arrive?
Each order is printed after you place it, in 2 to 4 business days, then ships by ground in 3 to 5 business days. The product page shows the delivery window for today's orders.
What if the print has a mistake?
If we print something different from the preview you approved, or it arrives damaged, we reprint it free.
