Service Uniform at TRSA

/in , /by

The Textile Rental Services Association is the trade association that represents companies like us in Washington DC, and works with textile rental companies all across America to provide a high standard of service to businesses that rely on laundered garments, uniforms, linens, floor mats, towels and other products necessary for a clean and safe operation and facility.

Textile rental companies (like us!) are specialists in providing and managing quality textile goods directly to business location and are experts in determining the most hygienic and cost-effective laundering solutions for facilities and workplaces. Meaning when it comes to your business, Service Uniform is the expert you need.

We’re the top in our industry. So much so that our General Manager Dennis Tschida flew to Atlanta to speak about Service Uniform and RFID technology at the TRSA Conference. He really wanted everyone to know that, “RFID improves customer satisfaction and loyalty because of the consistent and reliable information going to and coming from the customer.”

There’s a reason we’re the best in the business. By utilizing the most advanced technology in our industry, Service Uniform has everything you need for a flexible and superior uniform rental program.

Clothes4Souls, a subdivision of Soles4Souls, has a mission that we believe in. They’re dedicated to fighting the devastating impact and perpetuation of poverty, and we’re proud to say that we’ve helped the best we can. Service Uniform has donated more than 3,000lbs of used garments to help the not-for-profit institution. Making a large donation already made us feel warm and fuzzy on the side, but the following letter we received was the icing on the cake!

Dear Friend,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you personally for your donation to help us reach out to hurting people throughout the world. It is only because of compassionate people such as yourself that we are able to expand our mission and realize our goals, which has always been to simply help those in need. We are truly blessed to have friends like you and find it humbling and heartwarming that you would entrust your valuable resources to us. 

We want to assure you that your donation will enable individuals in the United States and around the world to step out of poverty. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and your personal involvement with our cause is tremendously important. You should be proud of your humanitarian efforts. We invite you to keep our mission in mind, should the opportunity arise to continue to donate to our cause. 

Thanks again for helping us with our mission of “Wearing out Poverty™”

With deepest thanks,
Buddy Teaster
CEO

Our Favorite April Fools’ Pranks of 2014

/in /by

This year was a great year for pranking. At Service Uniform, we enjoy a good laugh so we thought we’d share our favorite April Fools pranks from this year.

This prank has been called “The Best April Fools of 2014”. These students pranked their professor and we can’t help but laugh every time we watch this video! Click here, Students’ Genius April Fools’ Prank on Professor.

Google is known for adding humor to their work. If you check out their blog you’ll find a list of past April Fools jokes, like this year’s Gmail Shelfie. (They also held a Pokemon Challenge in Google Maps.)

Jimmy Kimmel asked his viewers to film their April Fools’ Day pranks and post their videos to YouTube. Here is a compilation video of the best ones.

What was your favorite April Fools prank? We know that some people are not a fan of pranking because they don’t like to be the April Fool. Although we love a good laugh, we can assure you that there are no tricks up our sleeves. Unlike the other guys, you can trust us.

Service Uniform is the only uniform rental company in San Antonio to offer the best service around. It’s even in our name. We use RFID technology to track and process all orders and requests, which means that your orders are always accurate and always on time. And because we’re located right here in San Antonio, you don’t have to deal with complicated corporate structure.

Become a part of our family and share a laugh with us. Contact Service Uniform today to see how we are San Antonio’s most trusted uniform rental company.

We Support Clothes4Souls

/in /by

Did you know that over 85% of all clothing in the USA ends up in landfills instead of being recycled?

At Service Uniform, we’re proud to announce that we’ve made another donation to the Clothes4Souls foundation. If you remember, we donated 300 garments to help with typhoon relief in the Philippines. This time, we donated $18,000 of garments to help those suffering in poverty.

What is Clothes4Souls?
Clothes4Souls, a division of Soles4Souls, is a global not-for-profit institution dedicated to fighting the devastating impact and perpetuation of poverty. The organization advances its anti-poverty mission by collecting new and used clothes from individuals, schools, faith-based institutions, civic organizations and corporate partners, then distributing those clothes via direct donations to people in need and by provisioning qualified micro-enterprise programs designed to create jobs in poor disadvantaged communities. If you’re interested in the cause or sending in a donation, check out their website.

How to Survive March Madness

/in , /by

Does March Madness affect work productivity? Unfortunately the answer is a huge yes.

With the explosion of social media, internet forums and live streaming, it may seem like everyone in the office is setting up their brackets and following the tournament. March Madness is huge because it’s fun, it brings people together, it’s a friendly competition, but from an employer’s point of view it clouds focus and reduces productivity. According to a recent study, about 2.5 million people spend an hour and a half each workday following the tournament. And attendance on Thursdays and Fridays during March tend to fall below average. All of that time adds up!

Each business has a different set of rules on how to manage company time, but if you’re looking for a boost in productivity we may have a long term solution for you. At Service Uniform, we specialize in helping businesses look their best, and businesses with a uniform rental program have shown signs of increased productivity.

A new look is powerful because it not only gives your company the professional, sharp image it deserves, but also boosts morale among employees. When employees feel like they are a part of a winning team, they will naturally work harder to help everyone succeed. So even though we can’t help you manage employee time (or give any advice on which team to pick for your bracket!) we can give you some assistance to boost your business’s productivity.

Why You Should Work with a Family Business

In today’s fast-paced, digitized world, many customers deal with faceless corporations that prioritize profits over people. You call customer service and get a robot. You send an email and receive an automated reply. The process can leave you feeling dehumanized, as if your problems matter less than some ideal of efficiency.
