Gifts for Clients - Mugs for Line Cooks
You work in the heat, burn yourself daily, and somehow keep tickets moving when everything comes in at once.
Why This Works
Line cooking is the backbone of every restaurant. You're underpaid, overheated, and somehow still proud of every plate.
Your coffee mug is the first thing you reach for every morning and the last line of defense against losing it in the 9am standup. A good mug doesn't just hold your caffeine addiction - it communicates your entire personality without you having to speak to anyone before 10am. These mugs say what you're thinking so you don't have to.
