Pick a station configuration. We run the rest.
Every setup ships with its own crew, equipment, thread library, and a written floor plan your venue can approve in advance. The only real decision is pace: how many guests, how many hours, how many dates.
Config A
Single-head bar
One commercial machine, one operator, one host. The right rhythm for lobbies, gifting suites, and boutique programs serving up to a few hundred guests across a day. Smallest footprint, quietest presence.
Config B
Twin station
Two heads running parallel menus cuts wait times roughly in half. Built for conference days and campus rushes where the queue arrives in waves instead of a trickle.
Config C
Residency kit
For multi-day programs we case equipment on property overnight, re-test every morning, and keep the same crew across the run — so your team briefs us exactly once.
What the crew owns, start to finish.
You point at the corner; everything below is ours. No borrowed staff, no "can your intern watch the table" moments.
Artwork
Digitizing + proof
Logos converted to stitch files and test-sewn on your actual garment before day one.
Prep
Hooping + staging
Garments hooped, sized, and racked so the machine never waits on a human.
Menus
Thread + placement
Curated colorways and placement options that keep guest decisions under a minute.
The line
Queue + spellings
A host confirms names letter by letter — the difference between delight and a redo.
Counts
Restocks + recap
Live piece counts, size-run alerts, and a written recap after every date.
Paperwork
Venue documents
Insurance certificates and vendor forms handled before load-in day, not at the dock.
Add-on lanes
When embroidery is the anchor, not the whole show.
Most residencies grow. The stations below share our footprint math and slot beside the bar without a second vendor contract:
- Hat + patch press — leather and woven patches on Richardson 112s while the embroidery head handles names and initials.
- DTF apparel station — full-color heat-pressed prints for volume days when hundreds of shirts need to leave finished.
- Laser engraving & UV DTF — tumblers, bottles, and hard goods for gifting suites and executive tiers.
Your garments or ours — both work.
We supply blanks when you want one invoice: mid-weight polos and quarter-zips, Richardson 112 caps, waffle robes, canvas totes, and Bella+Canvas 3001 tees on the print lanes. Everything arrives pre-counted by size with overage built in.
Stitching on your own inventory — bookstore stock, staff uniforms, amenity robes already in your linen program — is just as common. One house rule: we run a sacrificial test piece per garment style before going live, because thread tension on a $9 tote and a $90 jacket are different conversations.
Either way, the quote states plainly who supplies what, so procurement never has to guess.
