House of Wok and House of Wok Prive: Uniforms, Packaging and Tableware for Two Tiers of One Pan-Asian Brand
Some brands have one look. House of Wok has two. Our archive holds work for both House of Wok, a bold black-and-red pan-Asian brand with a full set of delivery packaging and rider rainwear, and House of Wok Prive, a quieter, more premium sibling with copper trims, leatherette menus and green linen. Together they make one of the most useful case studies we have for any restaurant group running a casual brand and a premium one, or a dine-in room with a large delivery business. This post covers the House of Wok uniforms, packaging and tableware we made, and what other brands can take from them.
As with all our client stories, we describe what our photographs show: the pieces, colours, fabrics and branding. The reasoning and lessons are ours. See everything on the House of Wok and House of Wok Prive client pages.
Two tiers, one family: the palette side by side
| House of Wok | House of Wok Prive | |
|---|---|---|
| Base colours | Black and white | White, black, khaki |
| Accent | Bright red | Copper and gold; bottle green on the table |
| Kitchen | Black chef coats, one plain, one with red collar, piping and buttons | White and black chef coats with copper collar trim, black trousers, white skull caps, white and black bib aprons |
| Floor and counter | Black pique polos with red tipping; black dry-fit polos | Not in our photographs |
| Housekeeping | Not in our photographs | Khaki tunic and trousers with white trims |
| Delivery | Hooded rain jacket and trousers; bags, food box, cutlery pouches | Not in our photographs |
| Table | Dark printed menus | Brown leatherette menu covers and bill folders, green napkins |
The logo family is shared: a W inside a circle, with "WOK" set vertically beside "HOUSE OF". Prive adds its own name under the mark. What changes between the two is the finish. House of Wok is graphic and high-contrast; Prive is softer, warmer and more tactile.
If you are planning a similar family of brands, brief them together even if you open them a year apart. Decide which elements are shared (logo structure, garment patterns, embroidery placement, fabric qualities) and which belong to each tier (accent colour, trim material, table finishes). Writing that down once saves a round of sampling for every new outlet, and it keeps a second-tier brand from drifting into a look that competes with the first. Our uniform brief template has a section for multi-outlet groups.
House of Wok uniforms: black and red for kitchen and floor
Chef coats
Our photographs show two House of Wok chef coats. One is a classic long-sleeve, double-breasted black coat with black buttons and the logo embroidered on the chest pocket. The other is a black wrap-front coat with a red mandarin collar edge, red piping down the front and red buttons, with the same pocket logo. Having two versions in the same colour is a neat way to separate roles in a kitchen (for example, senior chefs and the line) without changing the palette. Our guide to kitchen brigade uniforms by rank explores this further.
Black is a natural choice for a wok kitchen, where soy, oil and smoke are constant. It hides marks, and the red trim gives it energy. The one thing to watch is fading: ask for colour-fast dyes and keep black coats out of hot bleach washes, as our uniform care guide explains.
Polos
For the floor and counter there are two black polos. One is a pique polo with red tipping on the collar and sleeve edges and the logo embroidered on the chest. The other is a lighter black dry-fit polo with the chest logo and a red W monogram on the sleeve. The tipped pique polo looks a little smarter; the dry-fit one is cooler and dries faster. See our polo t-shirt GSM guide for how fabric weight changes the feel.
Delivery: packaging and rainwear that carry the brand
This is where House of Wok stands out. The archive shows a complete delivery kit, and every piece speaks the same black-and-red language as the uniforms.
- Carry bags. Black paper bags with a large dragon illustration printed tone-on-tone, the logo, a QR code for direct ordering, the line "A Pan Asian Experience" and a red band at the base with contact details.
- Food box. A black folding box with the dragon, logo and QR code, and a red band printed with menu categories as tick boxes, so the kitchen can mark what is inside.
- Cutlery pouches. Black pouches with a repeating red W pattern, holding wooden chopsticks and black cutlery.
- Rider rainwear. A black hooded rain jacket with matching trousers, the full logo printed large across the back and a small logo on the chest.
The QR code on the bag and box is a smart touch: the packaging becomes the reorder channel. The tick-box band saves a sticker and a pen. And the rain set means the brand stays visible in traffic even in the monsoon, when a rider in a random poncho would be anonymous. Our guides to delivery packaging branding, delivery rider uniforms and insulated delivery bags cover each piece in depth.
The printed menus follow the same dark look: a black background, food photography, clear sections and a QR code linking to the digital menu. Browse our packaging and print catalogue for the formats we make.

Chef sets with copper trims
The Prive kitchen is dressed in two chef coats that mirror each other: a white coat and a black coat, both with a copper or tan trim on the collar and a copper welt on the chest pocket, the Prive logo embroidered on the pocket, and the W monogram in a circle on the sleeve. They are paired with black trousers and a black bib apron embroidered in copper. Our hero image shows the white coat in use, with a matching white skull cap that has a breathable mesh crown and the W monogram on the front.
Compare this with the House of Wok coats and the lesson is clear. Both kitchens wear coats with a coloured collar trim. House of Wok's is bright red on black; Prive's is copper on white or black. Same construction idea, different mood. Our chef coat styles guide and headwear guide cover the options.
Aprons and housekeeping
Prive also has white bib aprons with the embroidered logo, which suit an open, show-kitchen style or a pastry section. The housekeeping set is a khaki tunic with a white mandarin collar, white piping down the placket, white cuff bands and white welts on both lower pockets, worn with matching khaki elastic-waist trousers. It is calm and neat, and it reads as part of a premium house rather than as a generic cleaning uniform. Our housekeeping uniform guide explains why contrast trims work so well for this role.
Prive on the table: leatherette and linen
On the table, Prive moves from print to texture. Our photographs show brown leatherette menu covers with the logo debossed on the front and gold screw posts holding the printed pages, and matching brown leatherette bill folders with a debossed logo, a pen loop, a slot for the bill and a printed feedback card. The napkins are a deep bottle green with the W monogram embroidered in gold thread in one corner.
Brown leatherette, green linen and gold thread are a classic premium combination, and they sit comfortably with the copper trims in the kitchen. Our guides to leatherette menu covers and bill folders and table napkins go into materials and sizes.
Lessons for pan-Asian restaurants and two-tier brands
What to take from House of Wok and Prive
- Share the logo family and garment construction between tiers; change the accent colour and the finishes.
- Use a dark base in a wok kitchen, and put the brand colour in collars, piping and tipping.
- Treat delivery as a guest-facing channel: bags, boxes, cutlery pouches and rider rainwear should all look like the restaurant.
- Put a QR code for direct orders on packaging you send out.
- For a premium tier, move from print to texture: leatherette menus, debossed logos, fabric napkins, embroidered monograms.
- Give housekeeping a designed tunic in the house palette, not an off-the-shelf set.
